Do the seats proud

·

Ever wonder what the 20,000 seats in Memorial Stadium that aren't filled do on Saturdays? The players know how bad it sucks to have a crowd that could be out-numbered by a state-wide meeting of the Athletes Foot Association. But what about those poor seats? It's the same seats week after week that aren't used -- you know, those seats in all four corners of Memorial Stadium. They're there to be sat on, sometimes stood on and occasionally slept on, no doubt in another IU defeat. Instead, they're usually limited to shining in the sun or collecting raindrops and empty cups. Poor, lonely seats.

6 athletes qualify for NCAA meet

Coach Randy Heisler did not have high expectations for his athletes going into this weekend's 15-team meet at Arizona State because of his team's recent intense training. Instead, he got a surprise from the three-day Baldy Castillo Invitational. The Hoosiers won six events and provisionally qualified six athletes for the NCAA Championships in six events.

Hoosiers have flawless weekend

·

Having just completed a road trip, the women's tennis team wanted to make a statement at the IU Tennis Center Saturday. Mission accomplished. The Hoosiers (10-6, 1-2 Big Ten) ripped through two opponents, defeating Illinois-Chicago in the morning and Butler in the afternoon, both by a flawless 7-0 score.

Cyclists ready for men's Little 500

·

Let's get one thing straight about Saturday's Men's Little 500: Nobody will lap the field like the Cutters did last year. This year's field is too deep and the riders are too evenly matched for one team to dominate the race. Unlike last year when only a few teams had a chance, a number of teams could take the checkered flag.

Team readies for conference tournament

·

If you had to label IU men's basketball coach Mike Davis as either a pessimist or an optimist, you would have to go with the latter. In an up-and-down season, Davis has spent much of this year with a positive outlook. He hit a low after the loss to Southern Illinois, but he has been optimistic since.

Welcome back

·

A little more than 12 hours after falling short in the NCAA championship game, a tired IU men's basketball team returned to Bloomington around 12:45 p.m. Tuesday and received a warm welcome from several hundred Hoosier fans. The IU faithful welcomed the team bus back from the airport and followed the Hoosiers inside Assembly Hall, where seniors Dane Fife and Jarrad Odle addressed the gathering of fans and media.

Going-away party

·

IU fans wanting to wish the IU men's basketball team luck and watch the final practice before its trip to Atlanta for the Final Four this weekend can attend an open practice and pep rally today at Assembly Hall. The doors open to the public at 4 p.m., and fans can sit on the East side of the arena to watch the final minutes of practice.

Threes reign in Hoosier victory

·

A box score would more than do justice to Saturday's battle between IU and Illinois. IU splattered the board with mind-boggling numbers: Like a school- and Big Ten-record 17 three-pointers. There were 46 first-half points and 42 more in the second half. There were five players in double figures. And there were three players with three or more three-pointers. But, in reality, all you need to sum up IU's 88-57 pounding of the No. 9 Illini in front of 17,456 wound-up fans in Assembly Hall is vocal evidence from the Illini themselves.

Many Hoosiers aid win

·

Only 13 points for Jared Jeffries is usually reason to panic. Just look at what happened at Minnesota when he managed only seven points and one made field goal. But while the Hawkeyes failed to produce a double-digit scorer Tuesday night, the Hoosiers had five players score 10 or more points, led by Kyle Hornsby's 15 points.

Ladies and Gentlemen start your engines

·

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tightening the final bolt and hanging the last banner, workers at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are putting the finishing touches to Victory Circle in preparation for what has been called the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing." The Indianapolis 500, scheduled to start Sunday at 11 a.m., is boasting the fastest field of cars in the history of IMS this year -- the average qualifying speed is 228.648 m.p.h. -- and the race is expected to be even more exciting.

Senior fullback Johnson to transfer

The IU football team expected to start a new quarterback and running back for the 2002 season. Now they'll start a new fullback, too. Senior fullback Jeremi Johnson, the Hoosiers' leading returning rusher, has decided to transfer from IU.

Hoosiers set to battle Valparaiso

·

IU is ready to play Valparaiso today at Sembower Field at 3 p.m., barring rainy weather or a wet field. It's the Hoosiers' first game since their annual spring trip to Florida last week, where they went 7-0 by defeating Northern Illinois, Bucknell, Manhattan, Yale, Northern Iowa, Dartmouth and Fairleigh Dickinson. The victories pushed IU's record to 12-3.

Mini 500 opens

·

Let the races begin. Mini 500 has officially kicked off the the "Greatest College Weekend" -- the Little 500. After 60 teams started the race, only three were left at the end of the night and were able to call themselves Mini 500 Champions. It boiled down to three teams in each division. Charlie's Angels, members of Evans Scholars, repeated as champions in the women's race. El Caminos won a close race and were the champions of the co-ed race. Delta Sigma Pi won the men's race.

Gone.

·

Cecilia Jeffries isn't afraid to admit it. Being the IU basketball fan she is, Jared Jeffries' mom had some part of her that wanted her son to stay Hoosier and lead IU on another NCAA tournament run. But now she knows that won't happen.
