IU out west for road swing

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Jan. 30,2004 12:43 a.m.

Still glowing from a hard-fought 4-3 upset over No. 10 Tennessee, the Hoosiers get a change of venue for their next test. This weekend, IU leaves the snowy confines of Bloomington for the sunny tennis courts of Arizona as they face underdog University of the Pacific and national powerhouse Arizona State. Admittedly, the IU coaching staff knows very little about their first opponent, Pacific. But IU coach Lin Loring sees the match as a good experience, nevertheless.

Around the Sidelines

By Aaron Beard · Friday, Jan. 30,2004 12:40 a.m.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Standing in his goaltender's crease during a morning skate, Martin Brodeur saw his New Jersey Devils teammates coming toward him, and he kicked out his leg. A dull thud echoed through the empty Continental Airlines Arena as the slapshot hit off his pad.

Jaguars building from NCAA exposure

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Jan. 29,2004 12:22 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Odell Bradley sometimes drives the long way from his apartment to campus so he can admire a 14-by-45-foot billboard of himself. That ego boost is just one of the benefits Bradley is starting to reap from playing Division I basketball with an emerging IU-Purdue University-Indianapolis program. Two years into an expansive advertising campaign, the Jaguars are using their success on the court to generate interest off of it. Their first NCAA tournament appearance last year, coupled with billboards and bus signs, is helping one of America's alphabet schools improve its image in a crowded marketplace.

All-American preps for big year

By Rob DeWitte and Rob eWitte · Thursday, Jan. 29,2004 12:19 a.m.

Sophomore Sean Jefferson has always been fast. In middle school he fancied himself a sprinter. By his senior year of high school, he discovered there were few people he couldn't out run over longer distances. In distance running, coaches say speed kills, and Sean has speed. "If you have natural speed, all you have to do is get basic fitness under your belt," said IU coach Robert Chapman. "Then, in races you can relax and open a big can of whoop-ass." Speed is the deciding factor in indoor racing.

Minn. natives go 'Barn'storming

By Dan Patrick · Thursday, Jan. 29,2004 12:13 a.m.

One ranked team in one rickety arena. This is what's in store for the IU women's basketball team tonight when the Hoosiers lock horns with the No. 14-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers at the notorious 76 year-old Williams Arena. Williams Arena, nicknamed "The Barn," has risen into infamy since its original construction in 1928, featuring a raised floor, shaky rims and a notoriously raucous fan base. While they have heard about "The Barn," IU players will simply look at it as just another gym.

By Matt Glenesk · Thursday, Jan. 29,2004 12:12 a.m.

Fans, team-game help defeat Purdue

By Natalie A. Trout · Wednesday, Jan. 28,2004 12:58 a.m.

Senior guard A.J. Moye strutted off the court and held out his jersey so all the fans could see the INDIANA embroidered on it. The Hoosiers now hold sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. IU (11-6, 5-1 Big Ten) upset No. 21 Purdue (14-5, 4-2) in what was clearly a team effort with eight different Hoosiers contributing points to the 63-58 win. "When we take the court, we don't feel like we can lose," Moye said. Earlier this week, Purdue coach Gene Keady said sophomore guard Bracey Wright would be the player his team would have to contain. But little did the Purdue team know there would be so many others who would impact the IU win. Wright, this week's Big Ten co-Player of the Week, entered the game averaging 16.8 points per game, but only had three points in the first half and finished with a total of 10.

All alone on top of Big Ten

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Wednesday, Jan. 28,2004 12:56 a.m.

Roderick Wilmont had just messed up, and he knew it. He had just hit a three-pointer to put the Hoosiers up four points with less than a minute to play, but the freshman guard left Purdue guard David Teague wide open in the corner for a three to allow the Boilermakers to get back within one.

Classic Rivalry, Higher Stakes

By Natalie A. Trout · Tuesday, Jan. 27,2004 12:45 a.m.

As if the rivalry wasn't big enough between IU (10-6, 4-1 Big Ten) and Purdue (14-1, 4-1). Now the two teams will battle for the top of the Big Ten at 7 p.m. tonight in Assembly Hall. The last time the rivals played for first place in the Big Ten was in 1989 when the Hoosiers won 74-73. But the most recent match-up between the two was in West Lafayette, and IU took quite a beating and lost the game 69-47. Senior forward A.J. Moye remembers it clearly. "They whooped us last year," Moye said. "I've still got that taste in my mouth. I really want a win."

Summer no vacation for sprinter

By Steve Slivka · Monday, Jan. 26,2004 10:49 p.m.

To compete as an athlete in today's sports world, athletes need to take advantage of the summer months. For junior sprinter Charlene Maddox, this theme held true this past summer. During the indoor track and field season, Maddox competes in the 200 and 400-meter runs. However, last indoor season, Maddox fought injuries which kept her from competing on a regular basis.

Road Warriors

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Jan. 26,2004 12:50 a.m.

MINNEAPOLIS -- For most of Saturday's first half against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Hoosiers looked unstoppable. But then Minnesota coach Dan Monson inserted a zone press and defense that shook up the Hoosier offense, and the Gophers were able to close the half on a 10-0 run to cut the IU lead to eight. Minnesota (8-9, 0-5 Big Ten) continued the zone and the press in the second half as the Gophers battled back to take a four-point lead late in the game. "It really screwed us up at the end of the first half," sophomore forward Sean Kline said. "They got some turnovers off of it. It's a tough zone, and they're really big, lanky and quick. But I thought in the second half we did a great job of limiting our turnovers and looking to the middle and the gaps to make plays." Monson took off the press with the Gophers leading by four with less than four minutes to play. IU coach Mike Davis said removing the press was a good idea by Monson.

BREAUX BRIDGE, La. -- At the edge of a park where Jake Delhomme played peewee football, there's a cypress sculpture of a crawfish about the size of a refrigerator.
