Basketball is finally here

By Natalie A. Trout · Monday, Oct. 20,2003 2:03 a.m.

Madness doesn't even begin to describe the players and crowd Friday night. Only a few hours before the public was released into the gym for Midnight Madness, one could have heard a pin drop on the court. But come 12:01 a.m., Assembly Hall exploded with screaming fans. "So many people came here to support us," freshman forward Patrick Ewing Jr. said. "There's nothing like it." What really got the crowd pumped was the slam-dunk contest. Senior center George Leach, Ewing Jr., senior forward Jason Stewart, junior guard Donald Perry and freshman guard Roderick Wilmont all took their best shots at pleasing a panel of judges from the Student Athletic Board. Leach led the group of slam-dunkers with an impressive one-hand dunk, but Ewing Jr. showed him up by hanging from the basket with his arm in the net. The second time around, Leach got a little encouragement from the crowd before attempting his next couple of dunks, but was unsuccessful at making the basket.

IU outshoots IUPUI 32-2, wins 1-0

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 2:39 a.m.

Junior goaltender Jay Nolly posted consecutive on-the-road shutouts this weekend over Wisconsin and Northwestern. Nolly's efforts reeled him in Big Ten defensive player-of-the-week honors. But that's not his only catch. Nolly hails from Littleton, Colo., a town between the mountains full of streams where he learned the art of fly fishing. At IU, Nolly is a dedicated fisher and was a member of the 2001 Big Ten champion Bass Fishing Club. After the 3-0 shutout of the Badgers, the Hoosiers bussed down to Northwestern but made a quick stop on the way. As IU coach Jerry Yeagley directed the troops to the food court, Nolly landed his eyes on a gold mine -- a bass fishing store -- and decided to shop.
