·

Despite a slow start to the spring campaign, the Hoosiers will head west to Las Vegas to make their University of Nevada-Las Vegas Spring Invitational debut with not only their golf clubs, but also a positive attitude and optimistic outlook for the tournament.

All-American senior leads team to nationals

·

While awaiting a contingent of IU divers for the NCAA Championships, the other half of the 13th best team in the country might be the biggest cheerleaders this weekend. No squad in the nation understands the importance of its springboard counterparts than the IU swimmers.

Gall stands tall as IU's lone women's track competitor

·

If one is the loneliest number, then Jessica Gall is the loneliest athlete. The junior distance runner will be IU's only representative at the 2005 edition of the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships today at the University of Arkansas. And she's pumped.

Ryan 'n' Ryan weigh in on the rest of the country

·

I know the No. 2 Tar Heels should be the obvious pick here, but I like the No. 3 Demon Deacons' chances. Wake Forest will be without their star point guard Chris Paul today, while he serves his one game suspension for punching N.C. State's Julius Hodge in the groin Sunday.

Conference celebrates 100th birthday

·

Everett Dean, say thank you. Mike Davis, say thank you, too. Branch McCracken, say thanks. Oh, and Bob Knight, you too. Say thank you to Amos Alonzo Stagg for bringing basketball to the Big Ten. The same Stagg who is better known for his excellence in football at the University of Chicago and started that school playing basketball in 1894 -- 11 years before the Big Ten conference began its basketball league.

Team ties for 4th at Hyatt Tournament

·

Golfers say players "drive for show and putt for dough." If that is the case, the No. 35 IU men's golf team came home to Bloomington with empty pockets after finishing fourth in the Hyatt Plantation Intercollegiate Tournament in Puerto Rico this week.

No. 27 Hoosiers to cap off tough non conference season

·

A win in today's 3 p.m. match against No. 20 Texas Christian University would let the No. 27 Hoosiers do two things. It would send them walking out of the IU Varsity Tennis Center with their first win out of six matches against top-20 ranked opponents this spring. It also would be a good way to close out one of the hardest non conference schedules in the country.

RecSports crown amateur champs

·

The amateur version of "March Madness" officially began this week as the intramural basketball championships took place Monday and Tuesday at Assembly Hall. After three regular season games and several rounds of tournament play, 16 teams competed for the right to be called RecSports champions in eight different divisions. (Editor's note: The Indiana Daily Student was unable to report on men's and women's division I intramural championships at press time Tuesday.)

IU ready for southern rival

·

The IU men's tennis team gets to take a break Wednesday. This break doesn't include days off, however. The Hoosiers simply get a break from Big Ten action, as they travel to Lexington, Ky., to face the Top 15-ranked Wildcats at the Boone Tennis Center.

Strickland balances books, beakers and basketball

·

He's your typical IU point guard. He's 6-feet-2-inches tall, about 195 pounds, has the quickness of a jaguar and the hands of a surgeon. With his mind constantly working, thinking two steps ahead of everyone else, his smile can electrify a crowd. And that's only in the biology lab. For Marshall Strickland, the basketball court isn't the only place he's able to showcase his skills.

·

Freshman center D.J. White was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year Tuesday, headlining a trio of Hoosiers honored by the conference. Junior guard Bracey Wright was named First Team Big Ten by the media and second team by the coaches, and freshman Robert Vaden joined White on the All-Freshmen team.

Team names add creativity, vulgarity to intramural sports

·

In the end, "We Aren't Gonna Lose" lost, "Super Awesome" wasn't, "The Answer" couldn't find one in the win column and "Team Forfeit Win" forfeited all their games. "Godzilla" bested "Artest's Army," "Big Scary Dinosaurs" couldn't take down the "No Names," and "I Don't Know" faced off against "Bo Doesn't Know" in what was surely a contest of who didn't know more. "We Love Mike Davis" never did get a chance to play "Bring Bobby Back," and "We're Dating Your Sister" -- at the advice of an opponent -- treated her well.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Purdue coach Gene Keady hugged some of his players and thanked many of his friends for their help during his 25 seasons with the Boilermakers.

Rain, rain go away: IU to play second home game

·

In the eight games played so far this year, the Hoosier baseball team has only touched Sembower Field once for a home game. The team members have already made lengthy road trips to Millington, Tenn., as well as Shreveport, La., and found success in both places. After more than 12 hours of driving Sunday into early Monday morning, the team is finally home.

II National Championship in Rochester, Mich. last weekend, failing to qualify for the semifinals round.
