Once again, IU men's basketball coach Mike Davis had his holidays ruined by the Kentucky Wildcats. But it wasn't just the loss that gave him the heartache, it was the threat of a six-game suspension, and ultimate one-game suspension that loomed over his head in the days following the game. Davis missed the IU game against Ball State on New Year's Eve.

INDIANAPOLIS -- A pivotal reason why the IU women's basketball team lost by a mere two points to arch-rival No. 6 Purdue Saturday was the performance of freshman center Angela Hawkins. The 6-foot-3-inch center grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds in addition to scoring nine points. "This was her second back-to-back wonderful game," coach Kathi Bennett said. "She has been especially good defensively."

INDIANAPOLIS -- The women's basketball team was looking for the ultimate upset over 6th ranked Purdue Saturday in the RCA Dome. A repeat of last year's victory over the Boilermakers would have been the perfect way to prove they were a team worth competing with. While the final score was in Purdue's favor 51-53, it turned out to be a loss that showed IU can compete. "I really like where my team is at right now," coach Kathi Bennett said. "We started coming together, and it's a positive step for us."

INDIANAPOLIS - It appeared as if the IU men's basketball team had the game under control. After scary moments of lost leads, waning offensive moments and blown game plans, the Hoosiers seemed to be in the clear against Purdue.

Last season IU lost to the University of Michigan in the American Collegiate Hockey Association national semifinals. The final horn sounded the end of the Hoosiers season, and the end of IU's highest-scoring line in the 34-year history of IU hockey.
