It's Davis: Officials say he earned it

·

Mike Davis wondered if he was walking out of Assembly Hall for the last time as IU's men's basketball coach following IU's victory over Minnesota Feb. 28. But he was there again Wednesday when IU President Myles Brand removed the interim label from Davis' title and announced Davis' four-year contract worth at least $400,000 per year. "For the next four years, I plan on taking this basketball program to the next level," Davis said. "I look forward to bringing a lot of great players here and having a lot of great memories." Brand called Wednesday a "very important day in the history of IU basketball."

Trying to pick a team

·

The NCAA's slogan for the Final Four is a relevant question here in Bloomington. Because the easy choice was eliminated by Kent State on the tournament's opening day, the decision has become complicated. With just four teams remaining, the choice might appear to be simpler, but it is still very difficult.

Athletes prove up to competition

·

All athletics canceled for tragedy

In accordance with NCAA Division I-A colleges across the country, IU has announced that all athletic events will be postponed until Monday. This decision is a direct result of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. IU had a full slate of athletic events scheduled for the weekend. Thursday, the women's soccer team's game against Louisville was postponed indefinitely, as was the men's soccer teams participation in the Butler Classic in Indianapolis. Butler Athletic Director John Parry said that when the games resume, they could function as a way to bring Americans together. "We all recognize that sports is way in the background as far as relevance," Parry said. "But it can also be part of the healing process."

Little 500 teams bring abundance of different strategies

·

Every spring for the past 51 years, many students have experienced the thrills and spills of Little 500 racing. Although the crowd only sees the sprints to the finish and bone-crunching crashes, much more exists behind the scenes of the race touted as the "World's Greatest College Weekend." Strategy plays just as important role in the outcome of the race as speed and precision exchanges.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Jared Jeffries' ankle is tender. And it's a tender topic. IU's sophomore forward began the Big Ten season on a tear, averaging 18.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game prior to injuring the ankle before the Wisconsin loss, which he sat out.

Hoosiers back in action

·

Forget what happened two weeks ago. Throw out all the negative energy directed toward the football team. The Hoosiers have moved on from their embarrassing Sept. 6 loss at North Carolina State, and want to show fans their capabilities Saturday. "You saw a team against North Carolina State with a lot of confusion, because it was the first game of the year," said senior cornerback Sharrod Wallace. "I think this week we'll be more prepared, more confident and play a great game. As a team, our backs are to the wall. We're out there to prove a point: that we are a better team than people saw two weeks ago."

Hoosiers fall to OSU

·

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- With four minutes left Saturday and IU trailing Ohio State 62-59, Mike Davis told his defense it needed to make only four more defensive stops. That was the mission. If it was accomplished, IU would walk out of Value City Arena still unblemished in the Big Ten and with sole possession of first place. The mission went awry. Ohio State (14-2, 5-0 Big Ten) hit the offensive glass, played tight defense and out-scored the No. 25 Hoosiers (11-6, 4-1) 11-8 during that stretch, allowing the Buckeyes to win 73-67 in front of 19,200 and grab the league's top slot.
