Cam loses one last time

·

Four wins in its last five games proved the football team started heading in the right direction this season, but it didn't convince Athletics Director Michael McNeely to keep Cam Cameron as head coach. McNeely fired Cameron Wednesday afternoon. Cameron finished his five-year tenure at IU with a 18-37 (12-28 Big Ten) record and no bowl appearances. The lack of improvement over the past five years led to McNeely's decision. "Five years is an important measuring standard for a program to demonstrate a high level of competitiveness and consistency, both on the field and in the classroom," McNeely said. "It is not an either-or proposition.

Kent State ends IU's tourney bid

·

SAN DIEGO -- Emotions ran high in IU's locker room after its first round game against Kent State Thursday. But they weren't positive emotions. IU lost 77-73 to a team almost everyone thought they would beat. Kyle Hornsby almost cried. Jeffrey Newton sat in silence. Dane Fife vented to the media.

Iowa ekes by IU for Big Ten tourney win

·

CHICAGO -- Even the announcement that IU is seeded No. 4 in the NCAA men's basketball tournament couldn't cheer up the Hoosiers after they lost 63-61 to Iowa in the Big Ten championship game. "Some of the coaches had a sigh of relief," junior center Kirk Haston said. "And the players are pleased that we finally got the respect we deserve." The Hoosiers haven't been ranked in either the AP or Coach's Top 25 polls all season. But the NCAA tournament selection committee ranked IU in the top 16 teams in the country by making it a fourth seed.

Irish defeat Hoosiers 1-0

·

This season the No.6 Hoosiers have prided themselves on a stifling defense, shutting out eight of the last ten teams they have faced. The backs have been known for smothering the opposing offense as it enters IU territory. Goalie Colin Rogers, with the lowest goals allowed average in the nation at .40, rarely lets the ball touch the back of the net.

65th Big Ten contest is anyone's game

·

Sometimes, 65th anniversaries are overlooked. They're not considered the milestones that 75th and 100th anniversaries are. But if IU defeats Iowa Saturday, the Hoosiers will return from their 65th match-up against the Hawkeyes with a big gift. A 2-2 record in an uncertain Big Ten where it is anyone's game. Both the Hoosiers and the Hawkeyes are 1-2 in the conference, but with five teams ahead of them at 2-1, the standings in the Big Ten are all up in the air.

IU flounders in opener

·

RALEIGH, NC - The experiment didn't work. Coach Cam Cameron admitted it. Tommy Jones knew it. And Antwaan Randle El's statistics revealed it. Cameron's fledgling idea -- moving Randle El to wide receiver and Tommy Jones to quarterback -- sputtered in front of a sellout crowd of 51,500 fans at North Carolina State's Carter-Finley Stadium Thursday night as the Wolfpack (1-0) rolled to a 35-14 victory.

Powerhouses to compete

·

Twenty-seven days ago at qualifications, the field for the women's Little 500 was set. Today, the field will be set loose to determine the 2002 women's Little 500 champion. "It's going to be an awesome race," IU Student Foundation assistant director and Little 500 coordinator Alex Ihnen said. "I think the race is going to be really competitive. The field is wide open. The returning championship team has maybe the strongest rider on the track, but a number of other teams are deeper.

Hoosiers continue win streak

The women's tennis team stretched its winning streak to four with a dominating 6-1 victory against Purdue Sunday in West Lafayette. This was the first conference road victory for the Hoosiers in three tries. "I think we played a very good match today," coach Lin Loring said. "I was especially pleased with our overall singles effort. This win gives us a four-match win streak as well as evens our record in conference play at two."

Hoosiers look to defeat Spartans

·

All year, football coach Cam Cameron has talked about the importance of being a mistake-free team. Now, it's crucial. Saturday, the Hoosiers (2-5, 2-3), fresh off an emotional win against No. 13 Michigan, travel to East Lansing to face the No. 23 Michigan State Spartans. In the 26-24 win against the Wolverines, MSU was given 76 yards from Wolverine penalties, which Spartan head coach Bobby Williams described as "huge."

Teams feature rookie riders

All three teams in row 11 of the men's 2001 Little 500 are comprised of a majority of rookies, but each team has hopes of busting into the top 25. Experience and training methods vary among the teams, but all three said they're confident about the race.

Jeffries explodes for career high

·

With 6 minutes, 41 seconds remaining in IU's home opener against Notre Dame Tuesday, Jared Jeffries picked up his fourth foul. IU led by five, and it appeared Jeffries would retreat to the Hoosier bench. He didn't. He knew he wouldn't. And it's a good thing. Jeffries' career-high 28 points, including five during a two-minute stretch, helped IU (5-2) fend off the Fighting Irish (7-1) for a 76-75 victory that jump-started the hearts of an Assembly Hall sellout crowd of 17,456. "I knew coach wasn't going to take me out," Jeffries said. "I know he has confidence in me and how smart I am out on the court." Jeffries was just that, with IU holding a 63-58 edge.

IU stuns Ball State

·

After gaining a 3-1 first half advantage, it looked as though the IU field hockey team was on its way to winning its first game of the year. But when Ball State forward Heather Weinhold scored with just 16 seconds left in the half, the Hoosiers appeared to be deflated and searching for an emotional boost. IU freshman goalie Katie Kanara said the team got their motivation from head coach Amy Robertson's halftime speech. "She reminded us that she is sick of it and we're sick of people not thinking we are anybody," Kanara said. "She said to not be surprised with ourselves because we knew that we could play this well." Hoosier freshman midfielder Kim Nash responded to Robertson's words. Nash netted her second goal of the match just 6:24 into the second half to give the Hoosiers a 4-2 advantage. Fellow freshman midfielder Kayla Bashore assisted on Nash's goal.
