65th Big Ten contest is anyone's game

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Sometimes, 65th anniversaries are overlooked. They're not considered the milestones that 75th and 100th anniversaries are. But if IU defeats Iowa Saturday, the Hoosiers will return from their 65th match-up against the Hawkeyes with a big gift. A 2-2 record in an uncertain Big Ten where it is anyone's game. Both the Hoosiers and the Hawkeyes are 1-2 in the conference, but with five teams ahead of them at 2-1, the standings in the Big Ten are all up in the air.

IU flounders in opener

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

RALEIGH, NC - The experiment didn't work. Coach Cam Cameron admitted it. Tommy Jones knew it. And Antwaan Randle El's statistics revealed it. Cameron's fledgling idea -- moving Randle El to wide receiver and Tommy Jones to quarterback -- sputtered in front of a sellout crowd of 51,500 fans at North Carolina State's Carter-Finley Stadium Thursday night as the Wolfpack (1-0) rolled to a 35-14 victory.

Powerhouses to compete

By Gavin Lesnick · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Twenty-seven days ago at qualifications, the field for the women's Little 500 was set. Today, the field will be set loose to determine the 2002 women's Little 500 champion. "It's going to be an awesome race," IU Student Foundation assistant director and Little 500 coordinator Alex Ihnen said. "I think the race is going to be really competitive. The field is wide open. The returning championship team has maybe the strongest rider on the track, but a number of other teams are deeper.

The women's tennis team stretched its winning streak to four with a dominating 6-1 victory against Purdue Sunday in West Lafayette. This was the first conference road victory for the Hoosiers in three tries. "I think we played a very good match today," coach Lin Loring said.

Hoosiers look to defeat Spartans

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

All year, football coach Cam Cameron has talked about the importance of being a mistake-free team. Now, it's crucial. Saturday, the Hoosiers (2-5, 2-3), fresh off an emotional win against No. 13 Michigan, travel to East Lansing to face the No. 23 Michigan State Spartans. In the 26-24 win against the Wolverines, MSU was given 76 yards from Wolverine penalties, which Spartan head coach Bobby Williams described as "huge."

Jeffries explodes for career high

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

With 6 minutes, 41 seconds remaining in IU's home opener against Notre Dame Tuesday, Jared Jeffries picked up his fourth foul. IU led by five, and it appeared Jeffries would retreat to the Hoosier bench. He didn't. He knew he wouldn't. And it's a good thing. Jeffries' career-high 28 points, including five during a two-minute stretch, helped IU (5-2) fend off the Fighting Irish (7-1) for a 76-75 victory that jump-started the hearts of an Assembly Hall sellout crowd of 17,456. "I knew coach wasn't going to take me out," Jeffries said. "I know he has confidence in me and how smart I am out on the court." Jeffries was just that, with IU holding a 63-58 edge.

IU stuns Ball State

By Colin Nowling · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After gaining a 3-1 first half advantage, it looked as though the IU field hockey team was on its way to winning its first game of the year. But when Ball State forward Heather Weinhold scored with just 16 seconds left in the half, the Hoosiers appeared to be deflated and searching for an emotional boost. IU freshman goalie Katie Kanara said the team got their motivation from head coach Amy Robertson's halftime speech. "She reminded us that she is sick of it and we're sick of people not thinking we are anybody," Kanara said. "She said to not be surprised with ourselves because we knew that we could play this well." Hoosier freshman midfielder Kim Nash responded to Robertson's words. Nash netted her second goal of the match just 6:24 into the second half to give the Hoosiers a 4-2 advantage. Fellow freshman midfielder Kayla Bashore assisted on Nash's goal.

How sweet it is

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

SACRAMENTO - With just over 46 seconds left in Saturday night's game in Arco Arena, junior Kyle Hornsby made a layup and drew a foul, giving the Hoosiers a seven-point lead on UNC-Wilmington. This was after IU had burned two timeouts trying to get the ball past half-court against the Seahawks' trapping press. As Hornsby pumped his fist, IU coach Mike Davis slid down into his courtside chair, legs and arms extended, palms open to the sky and a big smile on his face, as if to say, finally. Finally, the Hoosiers had been able to finish out a close game after going 1-5 in games decided by three points or less so far this season. Finally sophomore Jared Jeffries is back to All-American form. And finally, the No. 5 Hoosiers are going back to the Sweet Sixteen after an eight-year absence after they put away a feisty No. 13 UNC-W team, 76-67. With the win, IU advances to play No. 1 Duke Thursday night at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky. in one of the South Regional semifinals. The other game will pit No. 10 Kent State against the winner of California and Pittsburgh.

Hoosier dreams

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

ATLANTA -- Steve Blake is about the only person outside the IU locker room that picked the Hoosiers to do some NCAA Tournament damage. Blake, Maryland's junior point guard, penciled in IU to knock off top-ranked Duke in the Sweet 16. His teammates thought he was crazy. Even Hoosiers Dane Fife and Kyle Hornsby and IU coach Mike Davis admitted they are still trying to get a grip on reality -- deep down, they didn't think they'd be playing in April for the national championship.
