Bloomington High School South junior Matt Carlino, who committed to play basketball for IU in August 2008, decided to reopen his recruitment Thursday, according to reports from Mike Pegram of Inside Indiana, IU’s affiliate for Rivals.com.
This past season, 10 freshman softball players were added to the IU roster. But another newcomer to the Hoosiers, Cassie Gogreve, has also made a major impact on the field.
At this time last season, the IU men’s tennis team was 7-7 and went limping into the Big Ten season by losing seven of 10.
With a glance at recent qualifications results, it might appear the Teter women’s team makes it a primary goal to take the pole position, which it has done the past three years.
Most college tennis teams in the Midwest get used to the fact that with inclement winter weather they have to be inside nearly five months of the year. For that reason, they feel more comfortable and play better indoors. The IU men’s tennis team is an exception to this rule.
Wing Cadet Kevin Skelton means business. As the highest-ranking cadet at IU, he walks around campus in uniform and expects a salute and a greeting from every cadet he encounters. But nine cadets know a less-strict side of Skelton the rest have not seen: his college-kid side.
There’s a good chance IU coach Tracy Smith never dreamed before the 2010 season that his ace pitcher would be contributing from the batter’s box instead of the pitching mound.
It has been a season of ups and downs for the men’s swimming and diving team. After a regular season in which they went 1-6 in dual meets, the Hoosiers finished fifth at the Big Ten Championships in February.
In an effort to end a nine-game losing streak, the Hoosiers fell short in their 11-0 loss to No. 23 Louisville at home.
A day removed from a loss at Morehead State that totaled 35 runs by both clubs, the IU baseball team didn’t lose a thing at the plate in its first home game of the 2010 season. Six home runs, a school record-tying, five-hit day for junior first baseman Jerrud Sabourin and a clinching five-run seventh inning produced a 17-8 winning effort for the Hoosiers (10-10) at Sembower Field.
After a long road trip, the IU baseball team is returning to comfortable surroundings. The Hoosiers (9-10) play their first contest at Sembower Field after 19 consecutive away games against the Xavier Musketeers (4-15) today.
IU looks to bounce back from its current nine-game losing streak when it faces Louisville on Wednesday and Evansville twice on Thursday in Bloomington.
IU baseball coach Tracy Smith said baseball is a game of consistency — both in play and preparation.
With the Cinderella stories of Cornell, Northern Iowa and St. Mary’s capturing the March Madness headlines, it was only fitting that the Collegiate Match Play Championship had its own glass slipper team — the Hoosiers.
When the IU football team trains before and during the 2010 season, the players will wear workout shirts with the word “finish” scrawled in large letters across the back. But before the Hoosiers can finish, they’ll have to start. With spring practice kicking off today, IU coach Bill Lynch said at his press conference he is excited for new beginnings at Memorial Stadium.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A June trial date has been tentatively set for a woman charged in an alleged extortion attempt of University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson set the trial for June 1 at the federal courthouse in Louisville.
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Former Michigan State running back Glenn Winston has been sentenced to 180 days in jail and a year of probation for his role in a Nov. 22 fight with members of a campus fraternity.
ORLANDO, Fla. — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell likes the proposal to modify overtime in the playoffs. Can his support sway enough owners to approve it for next season?
In the midst of the dancing shoes and excessive Cinderella slippers this year, I’d like to throw one suggestion — a plea, rather — to athletics directors, presidents, NCAA officials and others having influence regarding the format of the Division I postseason: For all that we love about this great month and the college hardwood, don’t expand to 96 teams.
