Hoosiers to face Hawkeyes at home

By Colin Nowling · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Coming off their first dual meet tie since the 1990-1991 season, the women's swimming and diving team is looking to continue its improvement in today's match-up against Iowa at the Counsilman/Billingsley Aquatic Center at 5 p.m. The Hoosiers are ranked No. 17 by the College Swim Coaches Association of America and bring a 1-0-1 overall record into the meet with an 0-0-1 record in Big Ten duals. Iowa comes to Bloomington with an 0-1 record in both overall and Big Ten competition.

Who's guarding who?

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A day before the biggest IU game -- arguably -- since 1993, the Hoosiers are playing "Who's Guarding Who?" Dane Fife on Mike Dunleavy or Fife on Chris Duhon?. Tom Coverdale on Jason Williams? Jarrad Odle on Carlos Boozer? Jared Jeffries on ...?

Comparing greatness

By Ryan Lengerich · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IU basketball tradition is proven and powerful. When recruits slip on the red and white (soon to cream and crimson, again) warmups, they throw themselves into the fans' eyes and the athletes are doomed to comparisons with their predecessors. This year is no different. The Hoosiers have opened the Big Ten season with four consecutive wins, landing them at the top of the conference standings. Sunday, IU cruised to an 11-point victory over then 13th ranked Iowa at a hostile Carver-Hawkeye Arena. That victory was more than a point below the 12.75 point margin of victory the team has recorded in those four wins.

Recker wrecks Hoosiers

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS - For those IU fans who aren't fond of Luke Recker, this one wasn't easy to swallow. And it won't be for a long, long time. He did it all - hit a three-pointer to tie the game, got a rebound and timeout to set up his Hoosier heartbreaking lay and drained a jumper as time expired. Recker took his lumps during two losses to his former team this season. Saturday, he closed the final chapter with the last laugh, a bang and a shot that hit nothing but net with nothing but zeros on the clock.

Davis gets praise for success on the court

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Mike Davis saw the highlights from IU's win Thursday night on "Sportscenter," brief as they might have been. And he also heard what the anchor had to say. "She said that my critics can leave me alone now because I've won a game in the NCAA (Tournament)," Davis said, smiling. Several people and most of the national media said that same thing in Sacramento this weekend, and that might include some Hoosier fans who still might not believe Davis is the best man to coach IU. With two regular seasons gone and one first round tournament loss last year to No. 13 seed Kent State, Davis said he felt the pressure Thursday night before the win against Utah, probably the same pressure he has felt every day since he was given the job at an interim level in September of 2000.

Back of pack hopeful about race day

By Greg Jenkins · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The final row in the 2001 women's Little 500 is no different than the final rows in the men's race; most of the teams in the back of the pack lack experience. This row is no different. The final qualifier lost a team member two days before qualifications, and another squad hasn't raced since 1997.

Been done before, but still scary

By Jason Kramer · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Sometimes, the scariest movies don't let you see the thing you are afraid of. Typically, our own fear-inducing imaginations scare us a lot more than what's revealed explicitly. Who hasn't been home alone at night and associated every little noise they heard with an intruder in the house? Well, Mark Pellington, director of "Mothman Prophecies," understands this philosophy. Seeing is sometimes not nearly as scary as imagining.

Team heads south for weekend matches

By Allison Murphy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The women's tennis team travels this weekend to North Carolina to compete against No. 7 Duke and North Carolina State. Duke is heavily favored Sunday, especially since the match will be played at Durham. Duke is the highest ranking team on the Hoosier's schedule this season and therefore poses the greatest challenge. IU last defeated the Blue Devils in the quarterfinals of the National Team Indoor Championships in 1995.

Hoosiers seek redemption, victory in Purdue game

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

What the Hoosier football team is really made of will be determined Saturday. Now that a bowl appearance is impossible and a winning season no longer attainable, pride and respect are two attributes the IU team can hope to take from this season. But two rivals stand in the Hoosiers' way of ending the season admirably. First up is intrastate enemy, Purdue, who has won the past four meetings and is tied for second in the Big Ten. The two teams face off at 12:10 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

Hoosiers play for first win against Stanford

By Eric Talbot · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The Stanford Cardinals will travel to Bloomington for women's field hockey action today at 3:30 p.m. The Hoosiers are looking for their first win of the season, their second since becoming a varsity sport one year ago. The Hoosiers are 0-3 so far this season. Stanford, who returns 10 starters from last year, visits Louisville, Ky. before heading to the Mellencamp Pavilion. It is questionable whether fatigue will play a factor in today's game.

Jeffries' foul trouble hurts Hoosiers

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- For the past few weeks, it had been a sprained right ankle that held Jared Jeffries out of the Wisconsin game and a considerable portion of the victory at Michigan eight days ago.

Team struggles, defeats Hawkeyes

Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The men's tennis team defeated Iowa Saturday to pick up its first conference victory of the season and their first overall win in the last four matches. "We needed this match," coach Ken Hydinger said. "We came in 0-2 in the conference and now are 1-2, so we have a chance to earn our way out of a hole." But climbing from the hole did not come easily for the Hoosiers.

Hoosiers victorious in opener

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- George Leach didn't want to sit the bench. He didn't want to wear the white practice jersey that denotes the second team. After Sunday's eight-point, seven-rebound, four-block performance in IU's 65-61 season-opening victory at Charlotte, Leach decreased the chance either will happen again. "I called my mom (before the game), and she said 'You know you can play basketball, so calm down,'" said Leach, who graduated from Charlotte's Olympic High School. "I just did what I thought I could do. I figured while I was in there, I might as well try something."

Davis: All 11 players will stay

By David Uchiyama · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

With the announcement of Mike Davis as IU's next head basketball coach, attention turned to next season. Davis said he expects all 11 players to return and for the two incoming freshmen, especially Donald Perry, to contribute. "If somebody leaves, it will be hard to replace them," Davis said. "I'm prepared to beg them to stay. Hopefully they understand we can win a Big Ten title and a national championship."
