Seniors will miss graduation for baseball

·

For more than 6,900 seniors Saturday, "Pomp and Circumstance" will be the most important song of the day. However, for the five seniors on the IU baseball squad, it's "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" as the Hoosiers face off against Michigan State 3 p.m. Saturday at Sembower Field.

Wright gone for good

·

HOUSTON -- IU guard Bracey Wright signed with a sports agent Wednesday, effectively ending his college career, according to a broadcast report. Wright had announced last month that he would forgo his senior year of eligibility and declare for the NBA draft. But since he didn't initially sign with an agent, Wright preserved the chance to play another season for the Hoosiers.

IU yields to Wildcats at Big Tens

·

In terms of collegiate men's tennis, it's hard to tell Hoosiers from Wildcats. The Hoosiers had a 12-11 record. The Wildcats were 11-11. The Hoosiers were the No. 4 seed. The Wildcats were the No. 5. IU won the first game in the series, 4-3 April 2. Friday, Northwestern had the last say in the even-keeled match up, besting the Hoosiers by their own 4-3 tally and potentially ending IU's team season.

Hoosiers tripped up at Big Ten quarterfinals

·

Everything went in reverse this weekend in East Lansing, Mich., at the Big Ten tournament. And the Hoosiers' quarterfinal loss to No. 7 seed Michigan was no exception. Last week offered no indication of how the weekend would play out, as nearly every team that lost during that week managed to pull off a victory against the team that beat them.

ward of the court

·

Junior Sarah Batty wasn't the typical 17-year-old. Batty, without even being a legal adult, first swung a tennis racket for IU almost three years ago -- only a month and a half removed from her 17th birthday. Three years ago she found herself, at her No. 2 singles spot, one year younger than her classmates and one ocean away from her native country. But she was, in more ways than one, in ready position.

Hoosier offense takes on Ohio State's conference-best defense

·

Coming off a 16-2 thrashing of IU-Southeast on Wednesday, the IU baseball team packs its bags for a four-game set against Ohio State this weekend. So far this season, IU has established a dismal 4-12 record against the Big Ten. The Hoosiers have finished with one win and three losses in each of the last four conference series games they have played. The 20-14 Buckeyes are coming off a doubleheader sweep against Central Michigan. OSU has a Big Ten leading .971 fielding percentage and is second in the conference with a 3.80 ERA, despite its 4-9 Big Ten record and .290 team batting average.

Mavericks beat Rockets 106-102 in shootout

·

HOUSTON -- Playing with the desperation of a team facing elimination, even though they weren't, the Dallas Mavericks clawed their way back into their first-round series against the Houston Rockets on Thursday night. It took a rejuvenated Dirk Nowitzki to save them in a 106-102 victory. Nowitzki emerged from a two-game slump to score 28 points and keyed a 17-0 run in the fourth quarter that deflated the Rockets in Game 3.

Air Canada can't save New Jersey against Heat

·

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- One of the luckiest bounces of Vince Carter's career -- five or six bounces, actually -- couldn't keep the New Jersey Nets from falling behind 3-0 to the Miami Heat. Carter forced double overtime with a shot that danced all around the backboard and rim before dropping through, but there was no more magic for the Nets after that in a 108-105 double-overtime loss to the Heat on Thursday night.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Reggie Miller had no sympathy for the Boston Celtics. He didn't need any favorable treatment from the officials, either. Miller scored 33 points Thursday night, including 15 in the fourth quarter, and Indiana pulled away to a 99-76 victory and a 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven first-round playoff series. Game four will be in Indianapolis Saturday night and the series will return to Boston on Tuesday.
