Davis becomes favorite among national media

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

ATLANTA -- It's hard not to like a guy as easygoing as Mike Davis. And for the national media that got to know him for the first time in Atlanta this weekend, it would be an understatement to say that they fell in love with him.

Iowa could make a 'Big' mess

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Reggie Evans and Iowa are looking for a second chance to make up for an underachieving regular season. Luke Recker scored 25 points and Evans added 19 and a career-tying 18 rebounds as Iowa opened defense of its Big Ten Tournament championship with an 87-72 victory over Purdue Thursday. The Hawkeyes (17-14), the tournament's ninth seed, advance to Friday's quarterfinals against No. 1 seed Wisconsin (18-11). Recker and Evans combined for 24 points in the second half, as Iowa led by as many as 20. Recker, the former Indiana high school star who played two seasons with the Hoosiers, hit a fadeaway three pointer that saw him tumble into Alford for a 69-54 lead with 8:37 to go. A year ago, Iowa, as the sixth seed, became the first Big Ten team to win four games to win the title.

Sophomore steps up from first season

By Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

As the Hoosiers prepared for last year's regional meet, they received some bad news. Then-sophomore Amanda Bell would not be able to run in that meet because of injury. Coach Judy Bogenschutz had a decision to make: Who would she send to run in Bell's spot? Bogenschutz called on then freshman Becky Obrecht to run the biggest race of her life. "I was excited because I hadn't raced for a while. It was a big race. I was glad that coach had the confidence in me to run that race," Obrecht said. Obrecht hadn't run a 6K race all season. This was going to be her first race in five weeks. Obrecht stepped in and ran a good race, placing 5th on the squad and 80th overall.

IU bench helps scoring burden on way to victory

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

It's no wonder Notre Dame entered Tuesday's game against IU shooting 52 percent from the floor. If the Irish don't shoot from three-point range, they shoot from three feet. Inside, inside, inside was the approach in the second half of IU's 76-75 victory, and the results didn't leave coach Mike Davis happy.

Team shows fire, can't seal win

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

IU coach Kathi Bennett held up a laminated white sign with huge, black letters spelling, "IOWA." Her team displayed weak intensity after a feisty first half against the Hawkeyes Sunday. She didn't want it to happen again. Not against No. 11 Purdue. Not for the Barn Burner. Her Hoosiers heeded Bennett's reminder -- at least after the first five minutes of the second half. The Boilermakers unleashed an 8-0 run to start the half. Then point guard Heather Cassady flaunted her senior leadership. After that senior forward Erin McGinnis unveiled her crazy three-point shooting savvy. The Hoosiers displayed passion in waves at Assembly Hall, but couldn't smother Purdue center Mary Jo Noon (18 points) and forward Laura Meadows' tenacity to seize rebounds.

Spirit of Sport returns

Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

For the 26th year, the Division of Recreational Sports is hosting a sports "all-nighter" in an effort to benefit the Special Olympians of Indiana Feb. 8-9 from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. Held at the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Spirit of Sport was designed as a charity function to get IU students, staff and faculty involved in recreational sports, while raising money and awareness for those athletes representing the state in the Special Olympics. The event was contrived in 1976 and has raised over $277,000, with the most successful year coming in 2001, raising over $15,000.

U.S. team hopes for support in Korea

By Alyson Brodsy and Ronald Blum · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

SEOUL, South Korea -- Claudio Reyna expected one big difference this morning when the United States played Mexico for a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals. "It's the first time we're not going to be playing in a pro-Mexican crowd, be it in the United States or Mexico," the U.S. captain said Saturday. Mexico, cheered on by both Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, used to treat the U.S. team the same way matadors handle bulls, but not anymore.

Riders walk out on practice

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Fifteen teams signed a letter protesting Team Major Taylor's participation in the 2002 Little 500. But that wasn't enough to get the rider's message across. Tuesday, 32 teams walked out of practice starts in protest. "The point was just to call the attention to people that have some authority that just about every rider is against Team Major Taylor being in the race," junior Riders Council member Patrick Thomas said. "The whole stupidity of this, everyone knows they're ineligible."

Women's team falls in Big Dance

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

DURHAM, N.C. - The IU women's basketball team's gig as post-season Cinderella ended last night. A feisty horned frog wouldn't transform into a prince, preventing any further fairy tales for IU. The ninth-seeded Hoosiers (17-14) applied tight defense against eight-seeded Texas Christian (24-6) in IU's first NCAA tournament game since 1995. But the Hoosiers' offense didn't hold up its end of the bargain, shooting 23.5 percent from the field en route to a 55-45 first-round loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Lady Frogs face Duke, who defeated Norfolk State last night, in the second round Sunday.

Team Major Taylor said Wednesday in its arbitration hearing if it did not have freshman Joshua Weir as a teammate it would not ride at all. After weeks of controversy, an arbitration hearing and increased support from minority students, all four team members will ride.

Cleveland Rocks!

By Alyson Brodsy and Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Drew Carey couldn't have said it better in the opening song to his television show -- Cleveland Rocks! As a die-hard Cubs fans, there will never be another stadium that can match up with the beauty and pure awesomeness of Wrigley Field -- but Jacobs Field, the home of the Cleveland Indians, sure isn't that far off. Ever since it was built in 1994, the Jake has been pulling in crowds of over 40,000 on a daily basis.

Sooners' intensity will show Saturday

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

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Against No. 1 Duke, the Hoosiers relied on Jared Jeffries and Jarrad Odle in the paint to bring them back from 17 points to win, 74-73. Against Kent State in the South Regional final last Saturday, IU hit its first eight three-pointers to build a lead it would never relinquish. In Saturday night's first national semifinal against Oklahoma, the Hoosiers will see a defense that is better than both the Blue Devils' and the Golden Flashes.

Tattoos show toughness

By Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

People at IU have tattoos. What makes the wrestling team unique is the fact that in this small group, almost everyone has a tattoo. Wrestlers are seen as tough individuals, which might explain why tattoos are so prevalent on the team. Senior Brian Smiley said tattoos add to the toughness of a wrestler. "We all think that we are the toughest guys," Smiley said. "We think that we have to show it."

A 'devil' of a challenge

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

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Yes, Duke is the defending national champion. Yes, Jason Williams is the best player in the country. Yes, Mike Krzyzewski is one of the best coaches in the nation. But no, the Hoosiers are not going to back down.

A balancing act

By Guy Cipriano · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Phi Delta Theta senior Brian Drummy never rode in a Little 500 before Saturday's race. Even after his team's victory, Drummy said he still felt like he hadn't experienced the physical hardship of riding in the grueling 200-lap event. "I don't have a word to describe it," Drummy said. "It's everything you work for, and when it comes through, it doesn't even feel real. I don't even feel like I rode in the race today."
