It was a start down what has shown will be a rocky road ahead. And that’s about all it was. Tiger Woods’ Feb. 20 press conference detailing his infidelity and continued indefinite absence from golf was the necessary start to a brutal healing process — one that won’t see a complete end anytime soon.
Can the IU men’s tennis team win on the road? That is the obvious question to ask after the No. 48 Hoosiers lost back-to-back matches at Tulsa and Oklahoma last weekend. The team is 0-3 in true road matches this season.
Jamie Braun would not let the IU women’s basketball team lose on her senior day. The lone senior’s double-double ensured it didn’t happen.
On Saturday, IU coach Tom Crean told members of the media that “statistics accuse; the film convicts.” Following the Wisconsin loss, the team went through a film session in which individual players were asked to call out their own mistakes.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — It all began here. The first game of this 10-game losing streak began against Iowa on Jan. 24, but it wouldn’t end there. IU dropped its 13th conference game Sunday, losing 73-57 on the road against the Hawkeyes.

Sidney Crosby, shut down most of the tournament, wristed a shot past Ryan Miller 7:40 into overtime after the United States tied it with 24.4 seconds left in regulation, and Canada survived a tense, taut game to beat the Americans 3-2 in the men’s hockey final Sunday. It capped Canada’s record gold rush in the Vancouver Games and set off a national celebration.
For just the third time in school history, the IU men's basketball team has lost 10 consecutive Big Ten games after a 73-57 loss Sunday night — the longest conference losing streak since 1943-44.
IU was 9-9 before Iowa. It now sits stagnant at 9-18, approaching a conference-loss record that dates back to the 1943-44 season. Not since that year has IU been defeated in 10 straight Big Ten games.
IU coach Tom Crean and his players went through tape in preparation for Sunday’s 6 p.m. game against Iowa. Judging from the results of IU’s past nine games, one could guess it wasn’t pretty.
