IU tips off season

By Chris Engel · Monday, Nov. 12,2007 12:13 a.m.

Junior guard/forward Jamarcus Ellis had a simple answer when asked what the IU men’s basketball team had to do to prepare for the first game of the season with just one day off. “You just have to get some rest,” Ellis said. “Like coach said, he wants us to come in and play with intensity. If you be out all night, you’re not going to come in that way the next day.”

IU falls to Ohio State on penalty kicks

By Linnea Coulter · Sunday, Nov. 11,2007 11:55 p.m.

It was deja vu for the Hoosiers this weekend. After a physical and hard-fought game, IU and Ohio State saw themselves stalemated at a 0-0 tie, much as they had earlier in the season. This time, however, penalty kicks were assessed in order to determine which of the two powerhouses would win the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Although the score will go into the record books as a tie, it was OSU who came out on top, 5-4, and secured themselves a tournament bid. “It’s frustrating,” freshman Neil Wilmarth said. “Their two center backs are strong and hard to get by. It makes it hard to finish an opportunity when we get one.” Wilmarth nearly scored a goal with 9:46 left in regulation. Freshman Daniel Kelly fed Wilmarth, who was wide open in front of the net, the ball inside the 18-yard box. He sent a shot toward the goal, but the ball bounced hard off the right pole and out of bounds. The Hoosiers were a bit more fortunate in their first match, a 1-0 win on Friday. Against host team and No. 5-seed Michigan State, Wilmarth scored the only goal of the game off a cross in the box from senior Charley Traylor. Traylor sent the ball to the far end of the box where Wilmarth headed it into the lower corner of the goal. MSU goalkeeper Chris Austin nearly blocked the shot, but was a half-second too slow.

In its final preseason tune-up, the IU men’s basketball team relied on strong 3-point shooting and a stellar first-half performance from star freshman Eric Gordon to knock off UNC-Pembroke 111-62. But the win didn’t come without a scare.

Just out of reach

Sunday, Nov. 11,2007 11:47 p.m.

Coming on the heels of arguably the most emotional win of the season, the Hoosiers dropped a back-and-forth affair to Northwestern 31-28, once again putting their season-long goal of “playing 13” in jeopardy. Losing at Northwestern (6-5, 3-4), the Hoosiers (6-5, 2-5) will need to win a seventh game next weekend, since 10 teams in the Big Ten are now bowl eligible.
