Fight for NCAA berth starts with Big Ten tournament

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, Feb. 28,2002 12:34 a.m.

Much hullabaloo has been made about the strength -- or maybe weakness -- of Big Ten men's basketball. But the women's conference could have nearly as much trouble qualifying more than three teams for the NCAA tournament, depending on which Big Ten coach you ask. IU coach Kathi Bennett said she thinks her fifth-place Hoosiers (14-13, 8-8 Big Ten) have a shot -- if they reach, but more likely if they win, the Big Ten tournament final at Conseco Fieldhouse Monday.

Hoosiers can't duplicate win

By Dan Cortez · Wednesday, Feb. 27,2002 1:32 a.m.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- This time it wasn't a second-half collapse and foul trouble for the Hoosiers' best player that did IU in. And it wasn't even close enough for the Hoosiers to have a last-second shot to send the game into overtime. But IU had its chances. Instead the only constant the last two games for the Hoosiers is they have found another way to drop another game they desperately needed and could have won.

By Jason Recker · Wednesday, Feb. 27,2002 12:58 a.m.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Frank Williams' last two games against IU were ones he'd rather forget. Half of his final season at Illinois has been far from storybook. The 6-foot-3 point guard has been under the scrutiny of the media, fans and his coach and had the struggles of his team pinned on his back.

Hoosiers in control of Big Ten fate

By Jason Recker · Tuesday, Feb. 26,2002 1:39 a.m.

Sunday's game at Michigan State wasn't a must-win. IU lost a 16-point lead, the game and sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. Tonight's game at Illinois is a must-win. IU can't afford anything else if it wants to stabilize chances for its first Big Ten title since 1993. The eternally optimistic Hoosiers have accepted that. Whether they come through on the plan will unfold at 7 tonight in Champaign's Assembly Hall when No. 25 IU and No. 15 Illinois tangle for the second time this season. IU routed the Fighting Illini 88-57 in the first meeting Jan. 26 behind a school, and Big Ten-record, 17 three pointers.

Junior College transfers have been making major impacts in big time college sports for awhile now. Would the 1990 NCAA champion UNLV Runnin' Rebels have won the basketball championship without Larry Johnson? What about IU's basketball team?

By Dan Cortez · Tuesday, Feb. 26,2002 1:05 a.m.

Much has changed for No. 15 Illinois since the Illini were buried by the prolific three-point shooting of the Hoosiers when No. 25 IU beat them 88-57 Jan. 26 at Assembly Hall in Bloomington. And for the Hoosiers, for that matter. Illinois (21-7, 9-5 Big Ten) found itself two games behind IU and Ohio State for first place in the Big Ten after losing to the Hoosiers in January. The Illini had opened their Big Ten season by losing two of their first three games.
