Tough final meet for seniors

By Jeff Fuldauer · Thursday, Jan. 23,2003 12:18 a.m.

After a 198-102 beating of No. 17 rival Purdue, coach Dorsey Tierney's top ranked women's swimming team heads into the final few weeks before the 2003 Big Ten Conference Championship. Leading the Hoosiers down the stretch is a solid group of seniors that includes Megan Geers, Jenny Bechem and Tina Gretlund.

Hoosiers face rough road ahead

By Matt Pera · Thursday, Jan. 23,2003 12:11 a.m.

There's an old coaches cliche, especially when conference play begins, that goes "you've gotta take care of home and maybe steal a couple on the road." While coach-speak can sometimes border on the generic (eg "take it a game at a time"), this statement is used so often in college basketball because it is a genuine truth. And the Big Ten is no exception to the rule. The No.14 Hoosiers (14-3, 4-1 Big Ten) will soon experience the tough atmospheres of their conference foes' arenas and, quite possibly, learn how tough they themselves are in the process, playing seven of their next nine games on the road. The only break they will get from their midwest tour comes on Feb. 8 and 12 when they host Michigan State and Michigan respectively.

Cooper moving up career pin list

By Charlie Cunningham and Charlie Gillingham · Thursday, Jan. 23,2003 12:05 a.m.

Before the Big Ten season even starts, junior Coyte Cooper finds himself with an undefeated dual meet record (12-0), an overall record of 21-1, the No. 5 ranking in the nation at 141-pounds, Big Ten wrestler of the week honors (Dec. 23-30) and nine pins in 2002-03. Cooper has been a mainstay for the Hoosiers all season, going undefeated since losing the 141-pound championship bout at the Missouri Open. That was on Nov. 24, nearly two months ago.

Win showcases physical nature of Big Ten conference

By Matt Pera · Wednesday, Jan. 22,2003 12:32 a.m.

Over the years, Big Ten basketball has compiled a laundry list of characteristics that define it as a smash-mouth conference. Among the various facets of the league's personality are stingy defense and low scores; rabid fans who taunt the opposition with vicious chants and award the home team with raucous cheers; and physical play that, at times, can resemble a wrestling match. Tuesday night's Big Ten rematch between the Hoosiers and the Ohio State Buckeyes was a prime example of the physical play that the Big Ten is famous for.

Hoosiers get sweet Buckeye revenge

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Wednesday, Jan. 22,2003 12:29 a.m.

This is what the IU men's basketball team wanted to happen 10 days ago. Shutting down the Ohio State leading scorers, taking care of their own basket and getting rebounds was the Hoosiers' intent. Well, two out of three isn't bad. IU may have been out-rebounded by the Buckeyes, but they did shut down Ohio State's leading scorers and they did pound the ball inside to pick up their third-straight victory. The No. 14 Hoosiers (14-3, 4-1 Big Ten) got their revenge, beating the Buckeyes (8-8, 1-4), 69-51.

Dominant performance downs rival

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Jan. 21,2003 12:51 a.m.

The IU women's swimming and diving teams won both bragging rights and an important conference dual meet with a 198-102 win over Purdue. No. 14 IU took first in 13 of 16 events to bolster the victory over the No. 17 Boilermakers. "Overall, we are very pleased with our afternoon," coach Dorsey Tierney said. "Our depth was a major factor. We swam well and Purdue didn't swim as well as they are capable. They certainly bring out the best in us and today that showed. We have a tough group."

Freshman nearly repeats career high

By Zack Eldridge · Tuesday, Jan. 21,2003 12:47 a.m.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan -- Freshmen guards don't usually bring intangibles like this, but this is no ordinary freshman. Freshman guard Cyndi Valentin has been as solid as a rock this year, and it was no different on Sunday in IU's gut-wrenching loss to Michigan 71-68.

By Matt Pera · Tuesday, Jan. 21,2003 12:38 a.m.

Senior forward Jeff Newton was sleeping in Saturday morning, storing up his energy for the Hoosiers' game with No. 8 Illinois later that afternoon, when the phone rang. He answered it and heard the voice of his former Hoosier frontcourt mate, Jared Jeffries, on the other end.

It looks like the perfect Super Bowl matchup: Oakland's high-powered offense against Tampa Bay's stingy defense. John Lucas couldn't make winners out of the Cleveland Cavaliers, so Keith Smart is getting a shot. He's made a big one before. The women's track and field team defeated Kent State and Michigan State but lost to host Michigan in their indoor season opener on Saturday.

Hoosiers ready for Buckeye rematch at home

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Tuesday, Jan. 21,2003 12:23 a.m.

What a time for a rematch. The IU men's basketball team is in the midst of enjoying a two-game win streak, including an upset last Saturday against then-No. 8 Illinois. Now, 10 days after the Hoosiers dropped their first real road test at Ohio State, they face the Buckeyes again. And this time, it's on their court, in front of their fans, and the No. 14 Hoosiers are ready for the challenge.

Hoosiers hit the ice against Purdue

By Jesse Laffen · Friday, Jan. 17,2003 1:23 a.m.

It's been a long time since Purdue beat IU on the ice. So long, in fact, that nobody seems to remember. "I'm not sure how long it's been," IU coach Rich Holdeman said. "They haven't won in the ten years I've been here." IU General Manager Adam Schuchman, who holds the archive records for IU hockey, doesn't know either.

The women's soccer team's spring schedule will include two home and two away games, as well as a season opening home tournament. The Jacksonville Jaguars hired Panthers defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio as their coach Thursday, two sources within the NFL told The Associated Press. Baseball owners unanimously approved commissioner Bud Selig's proposal to have the league that wins the All-Star game get home-field advantage in the World Series.

They'll have a chance do so this weekend, when their indoor season begins this Saturday against Michigan, Michigan State and Kent State in Ann Arbor, Mich.
