·

Off to their best start since the spring of 2002, Lin Loring's IU Hoosiers (4-1) face their toughest test of the year as they play host to the No. 10 Duke Blue Devils Sunday.

RIVALRY on the road

·

IU and Purdue have more in common than their game on Saturday. The teams both carry two home Big Ten losses. The Hoosiers' two losses came to Illinois and Iowa, while Purdue suffered defeats to Ohio State and Northwestern. Now IU (12-9, 6-4) hopes to hand Purdue (15-8, 5-5) yet another loss in West Lafayette. The contest takes place only three days after Purdue suffered its latest home loss to Northwestern 40-39. IU coach Mike Davis said it is hard to explain how teams like IU and Purdue have two home losses and also how Purdue only scored 39 points in their contest with Northwestern. Davis said Purdue coming off a home loss could work for or against the Hoosiers.

Ladies First: beyond the etiquette

·

Their voices may be angelic, but that doesn't mean you won't hear them singing Madonna's "Like A Virgin" at Bears Place on Thursday nights.

Student ID numbers to change

·

IU's number is up. Following in the footsteps of other state schools, IU is planning to replace its student identification number system so students will no longer be identified by their social security numbers. Instead, students will be assigned random 10-digit numbers. The change is being made as IU converts to the Student Information System software the University began running this spring, said IU Spokeswoman Jane Jankowski.
