Davis gets last Assembly win

·

On Sunday afternoon, the emotion in Assembly Hall was thick enough to hold off even a late Spartan surge. IU fought out a 78-71 victory against Michigan State to make its coach's final stint on Branch McCracken Court a memorable one. The No. 16 Spartans contended with an inspired Hoosier team that was battling for its place in the NCAA Tournament, honoring its four departing seniors and recognizing the achievements of its 1981 national championship team.

Landon's legacy

·

Drive. The word carries so many meanings to former IU forward Landon Turner. Twenty-four summers ago, a drive to Cincinnati left Turner paralyzed. His basketball career was over, feeling below his chest was lost and for all intents and purposes, he had struck a dead end on the road of life. But Sunday Turner found himself back in Assembly Hall. Back on the floor he once dominated. Back in front of thousands of cheering Hoosiers. How did he make it?

A chance to dance

·

A team reminiscent of the one from the season's beginning reappeared during Sunday's win over No. 16 Michigan State. And with it IU re-entered the NCAA Tournament conversation.

Hoosiers set for Big Ten competition

·

The IU men's track and field team leaves Friday for Iowa to compete in the 2006 Big Ten Indoor Championships. Last weekend's Hoosier Hills Invitational provided a final competitive gear-up before the team takes on nationally ranked Big Ten talent in the postseason.

Track preps for Big Ten championship

·

After seven meets this season, the IU women's track and field team will compete in the Big Ten Championships. The Hoosiers, along with the rest of the 11-member conference, will compete on Saturday and Sunday in Madison, Wis. IU expects to see more fierce competition than it saw in its earliest meets, and looks to test themselves against the best in the Big Ten.

New-look Hoosiers travel to Charlotte for season opener

·

New faces, both on the diamond and in the dugout, characterize the IU baseball team as they travel to Charlotte to begin the 2006 season with a three-game set against the University of North Carolina Charlotte 49ers. With 14 newcomers on the roster, and a new coach in Tracy Smith, the 2006 Hoosiers bear only a slight resemblance to the 2005 squad that finished 26-30. Smith, who coached nine successful seasons at Miami University of Ohio, said he is eager to begin his tenure at IU.

Former Hoosier star returns to Bloomington

·

Times are tough for IU basketball, but former Hoosier Landon Turner knows about even tougher seasons. The 1981 national championship winner visited Opie Taylor's restaurant Thursday to sign copies of his new book, "Landon Turner's Tales from the 1980-81 Indiana Hoosiers."

Seamingly unfazed

·

When the IU baseball team steps onto Phillips Baseball Field in Charlotte, N.C., today to open its season, it will be a vastly different team from the one that began last season with a victory against DePauw at Sembower Field in Bloomington.

IU to host Big Ten Championships

·

The No. 11 IU men's swimming and diving team welcomes some top-ranked teams to the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center today as they play host to the 2006 Big Ten Championships. The Big Ten currently boasts seven teams in the top 25. "This is a very emotional atmosphere," IU coach Ray Looze said. "I expect it to be charged and electric." Senior Kevin Swander said "electric" would be an understatement when describing the mood inside IU's home facility.

IU seeks top-5 conference finish

·

Coming off an overtime thriller against nationally ranked Purdue last weekend, the IU women's basketball team will take the court tonight versus No. 22 Minnesota with hopes of claiming a top-five spot in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers (15-10 overall, 9-5 in conference) traveled to West Lafayette for Sunday's conference matchup with their in-state rivals. A deep Cyndi Valentin 3-pointer sent the game into overtime, where the senior guard hit two free throws with seconds remaining to ice the victory for IU.

Win raises tourney hopes

·

Senior guard Marshall Strickland cemented his place in IU lore Wednesday -- in more ways than one. On the night, Strickland became IU's 40th 1,000-point scorer, led the Hoosiers to a 69-65 win over Penn State and kept the team's NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The senior wingman scored nothing but 3-pointers, shooting 7-for-11 from deep, including an NBA-range three that put IU ahead for good. "We can exhale now," Strickland said. "It feels like we got a little monkey off our back and we can gear up for Sunday."

Battling back

·

Senior Ryan Parker's list of accomplishments as a member of the IU baseball team is impressive -- two-time member of the Academic All-American Team, Academic All-Big Ten selection and a .340 batting average with 51 RBIs last season, to name a few. But perhaps the most defining aspect of Parker's career as a Hoosier is the fact that he is a cancer survivor.

I'm being serious this time

·

OK, I really mean it this time. The Hoosiers can win at home versus Penn State tonight. In fact, I still can't believe they lost the first time. The Hoosiers forced 18 turnovers while only committing 13 and still lost, 71-68.

Table Tennis Club small in size, large in spirited competition

·

Most people wander into the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation for their usual workouts or for the start of the intramural basketball playoffs. However, a group of five people enter twice a week for an entirely different reason--the IU Table Tennis Club.
