Hoosiers end year below .500

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, March 8,2004 1:06 a.m.

As the losses continue to mount for the Hoosiers, so does the frustration. IU finished with its first losing regular season since 1969-70, as No. 17 Wisconsin won 70-52 Saturday in Assembly Hall. Now, without a championship in next week's Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers (13-14, 7-9 Big Ten) won't make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 18 years. Without at least two wins in the Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers won't even make the National Invitational Tournament.

A tough goodbye

By Natalie A. Trout · Monday, March 8,2004 1:05 a.m.

Before the game was even over, the look on senior forward A.J. Moye's face summed up the entire Big Ten season of IU basketball. And even after thousands chanted Moye's infamous "A.J. Moye" cheer and a few started up a cheer for senior center George Leach, the emotions still weren't satisfying for Moye. Sad. Disappointed. Frustrated. All words Moye used to describe his feelings after IU's (13-14, 7-9) 70-52 loss to Wisconsin (21-6, 12-4) senior night.

Hoosiers drop Big Ten opener to Northwestern

By Dan Click · Monday, March 8,2004 12:40 a.m.

When the Hoosiers took the court Friday against Northwestern in their Big Ten opener, it once again turned into a "Maalox Moment," as the match wasn't decided until the end. But the Hoosiers fell short to the Wildcats 4-3, to fall to 5-5 on the year and 0-1 in the Big Ten.

Seniors say goodbye

By Natalie A. Trout · Friday, March 5,2004 12:55 a.m.

The IU men's basketball team is going to end its Big Ten season playing the same Wisconsin team it opened against -- and lost to by 34 points Jan. 6. It's a game senior center George Leach didn't even want to talk about after IU's win over Michigan Wednesday night. The game will be one of the most emotional nights of his basketball career, playing for the last time in Assembly Hall. "Nobody wants to play in their final home game," Leach said. "Of course it will be sad." IU's other senior to see action in Assembly Hall for the last time is forward A.J. Moye. Moye said he wishes he could play at Indiana for ten more years. "I wish it was like the NBA or something," Moye said. "I love this crowd, man. I think they just respect my heart and my effort."

Ravens acquire Terrell Owens BALTIMORE -- Four-time Pro Bowl receiver Terrell Owens was traded to the Baltimore Ravens by San Francisco Thursday after a paperwork error prevented him from becoming a free agent. Owens, who quarreled with coaches, teammates and opponents during the last few seasons, was given permission by the 49ers to seek a deal after his agent failed to file a document voiding the final years of his contract. He gives Baltimore the top receiver it has been lacking for years, even in 2000, when it won the Super Bowl. Owens was among several players required to file for free agency by a deadline recently moved up 10 days for players who signed their contracts before the league's 2001 collective bargaining agreement went into effect. Owens has spent all eight of his NFL seasons with the 49ers, who drafted him in the third round in 1996.

Team to play last doubleheader

By Jeff Fuldauer · Friday, March 5,2004 12:24 a.m.

Climbing the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's top 75 rankings, IU coach Lin Loring's No. 24 women's tennis team returns to Bloomington to play their last doubleheader and final pre-conference home matches of the season. The Hoosiers (6-3) will play host to DePaul and Ball State University Saturday at the IU Tennis Center. Playing unranked teams for the first time since early January, the Hoosiers return from a blowout win at Marquette and a hard fought 5-2 loss at Notre Dame as they look to take care of business at home, this time as the favorite to win.

Hoosiers set for this weekend at Big Ten Tournament

By Colin Burns · Friday, March 5,2004 12:21 a.m.

With the regular season in the rear view mirror and future goals in sight, members of the IU wrestling team look to book their flights to St. Louis in two weeks for the NCAA Championships. First, a little business will have to be tended to, as the team will compete this weekend at the annual Big Ten Championships in Columbus, Ohio. The tournament begins at 11 a.m. Saturday and concludes Sunday when the final in each weight class will be determined. Only the top seven finishers in each weight division will move on to nationals, meaning some quality grapplers will be left watching at home.

Team ready to tee off in paradise

By Charlie Cunningham and Charlie Gillingham · Friday, March 5,2004 12:20 a.m.

This weekend, the IU men's golf team will be on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, home to numerous beaches, perpetual sunshine and 80 degree weather, making it a virtual paradise. But the last thing the Hoosiers have on their minds is an early start to spring break as they prepare for the St. Croix Collegiate Classic, which begins today and runs through Sunday.

IU advances in conference tourney

By Dan Patrick · Friday, March 5,2004 12:19 a.m.

After having IU's hard-fought lead whittled down to only one point with five seconds left in the first half, Hoosier sophomore Cyndi Valentin quickly dribbled up the court and sent a blind shot into the air from behind the arc with no time left on the clock. The shot bounced off of the glass, went around the rim and dropped through the ring, giving the Hoosiers the four point advantage at the half. From then on, the Hoosiers never looked back.

Hoosiers have clean-slate for Big Tens

By Dan Patrick · Thursday, March 4,2004 12:21 a.m.

New game, "new" season, same old opponents. The Hoosiers will have a chance to advance to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years if they are able to defeat four Big Ten conference opponents, starting with the Wisconsin Badgers. IU will face Wisconsin in the opening game of the Big Ten Tournament at 3 p.m. today. The Hoosiers come into the game with an 11-16 overall record and 4-12 record in Big Ten contests. While the Hoosiers' anemic .250 winning percentage leaves a lot to be desired, their opponents have had an extremely similar run in the regular season, finishing with a 10-16 overall record and a identical 4-12 conference record. During the regular season, the Hoosiers traded victories with the Badgers, with Wisconsin taking the most recent contest 66-62.

Tenured coach earns associate coaching rank

By Jeff Fuldauer · Thursday, March 4,2004 12:10 a.m.

Winning four Big Ten titles in 12 years as an IU tennis coach would be a highlight to any head coach's resume. Add to it, a two-time conference coach of the year honos for both men and women's programs, in addition to decades of collegiate tennis experience, and you've got a resume fit to send off for any head tennis coaching position in the country. But IU's newly named associate head coach, Ramiro Azcui, is proud to be just that -- and in doing so has been an integral part of continuing IU's lineage of successful squads.

Strickland, Moye, Leach lead team with career-high nights

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Thursday, March 4,2004 12:08 a.m.

Three IU players had career nights in three different categories as the Hoosiers pulled out their first home win in over a month Wednesday as they defeated Michigan, 61-56. Sophomore guard Marshall Strickland scored a career-high 21 points on 7-17 shooting, 5-10 behind the arc, to lead the Hoosiers (13-13, 7-8 Big Ten). Senior forward A.J. Moye had 15 rebounds, and senior center George Leach was a presence on the defensive end with seven blocks. "I thought Marshall Strickland was tremendous for their team," Michigan coach Tommy Amaker said. "They made eight threes, and one of our points of emphasis was trying to defend the three-point line, and it doesn't look like we did a good job looking at the percentage they shot."
