Flood gates open in West Lafayette

WEST LAFAYETTE -- The Hoosiers came into the final game of the season against Purdue seeking revenge and the Old Oaken Bucket. Instead, what they got was an old-fashioned beat down and a long ride back to Bloomington following a 63-24 loss to the Boilermakers at Ross-Ade Stadium in front of 65,137 fans.

·

NEW YORK - Ron Artest was suspended for the rest of the season Sunday as the NBA came down hard on three members of the Indiana Pacers for fighting with fans as a game against the Detroit Pistons degenerated into a melee. Nine players from the teams were banned for a combined 143 games, including some of the harshest penalties the league has ever issued. Artest is the first player to be suspended for nearly an entire season for a fight during a game.

INDIANAPOLIS -- If Peyton Manning has proved anything this season, it is that nothing is out of reach. He's already thrown five touchdowns in an NFL-record three games this season. He's thrown at least three TD passes six times and is on pace to shatter Dan Marino's seemingly untouchable single-season record of 48 TD passes.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Lou Holtz will retire as coach at South Carolina after the season, The Associated Press learned Thursday night, apparently paving the way for Steve Spurrier to replace him. Holtz told his team before Thursday's practice that he was retiring, according to a source close to the program who spoke on condition of anonymity. All season, the 67-year-old Holtz said he was worn out and tired, and even said Spurrier would be a good choice to succeed him.

2 teams, 1 great rivalry

·

Walking into the football locker room, it becomes evident after a few moments which game is the most important to IU: the game against arch-rival Purdue.

Veteran defenders expected to lead team

·

Despite a 2-1 loss in the Big Ten tournament last week, heads remained high after the announcement the IU men's soccer team would be seeded No. 2 in the NCAA tournament. Much of the reason for enthusiasm among the Hoosiers was the knowledge that their tournament fate lies in the hands of five men who have been there before -- the defense.

IU upset in conference tournament

·

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The inability to finish games is something that plagued the IU men's basketball team last season and the IU football team this season. That inability trickled down to the No. 4 IU men's soccer team (14-4-1, 5-1 Big Ten) this season and finally caught up to the team in the Hoosiers' 2-1 loss Friday to Michigan State (11-6-4, 2-4-0 Big Ten) in the Big Ten tournament.
