Coverdale leads Hoosiers to first round win

·

SACRAMENTO - Junior Tom Coverdale remembers San Diego. He remembers what happened to him there. He remembers Kent State. And he remembers the final score and what happened to his team in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year. Sporting their highest seed in eight years, the fourth-seeded Hoosiers lost to Kent State, 77-73, after holding an eight-point lead at halftime. Coverdale suffered a hip pointer at the end of the first half and was limited to 8 points, four assists and three turnovers in 29 minutes. This time around, Coverdale and IU jumped out a nice lead in the first half once again, this time a 42-27 lead on Utah. And Coverdale again went into the break with another injury, this time his left ankle. Naturally, IU coach Mike Davis was concerned.

Divers hope to qualify for NCAA

·

After a successful showing at the Big Ten Championships, the IU women divers return to action March 15-16 at the NCAA Zone Diving Championships. The Hoosiers regional zone is competing at Purdue's Boilermaker Aquatic Center. At the Big Ten Championships, the Hoosiers had all six of their competitors score team points on both the one- and three-meter boards. Junior Sara Reiling finished first-place in the 1-meter and platform events. The IU divers compiled 131 team points in the two scored events at Big Tens -- the one- and three-meter springboards.

Hoosiers v. Spartans III

·

The first time the two teams met was early in the regular season, but it was still an important game. The second encounter was more relevant, with Big Ten title implications involved. The third takes place today. The Hoosiers beat Michigan State by 18 in January at Assembly Hall, but the Spartans rallied to beat IU 57-54 at the Breslin Center last month, wiping out a chance for the Hoosiers to grab a lead in the Big Ten.

Indiana open road to NCAA bids

·

A pair of relays could open a number of doors for the men's swimming team this weekend at the Indiana Open at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center. "We need to have two relays swim better times to advance further and qualify for the NCAAs," Swimming coach Kris Kirchner said. "If that happens, it frees up a lot of people to swim individual events, and then we're good -- we're great. But it's contingent on those relays getting there. "Sunday is the absolute last day to qualify for men's NCAAs. It's kind of like the final hour, the final shot -- you've got one bullet left and where are you going to put it?"

on the SIDELINES

A second-inning explosion helped the IU baseball team get a 14-4 victory over DePauw Thursday at Sembower Field. The victory was sparked by seven runs scored in the second inning. The offensive attack was led by senior first baseman Gibran Hamdan. Hamdan, who started the second-inning attack with a single, was 4-for-5 for the Hoosiers (5-3) and added a home run in the fourth inning. By the end of the game, Hamdan batted in three runs and scored three of his own.

Hoosiers earn automatic NCAA bid after Penn State upset

·

INDIANAPOLIS -- Before the beginning of the Big Ten women's basketball tournament Thursday, the Hoosiers postseason future was already determined -- there wasn't one. But a run to the tournament's championship game -- the first time in the school's history and the first No. 5 seed to do so -- and a win against No. 1 Purdue in the semifinal and a three-point win versus No. 2 Penn State in the championship changes the plans.
