Hoosiers stay alive

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Friday, March 12,2004 12:46 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS --With 8:15 to go in the second half and IU and Ohio State tied at 58, the Hoosiers took the lead with the unlikeliest of candidates. Junior Mark Johnson, a former walk-on, hit a three-pointer and helped lead the Hoosiers (14-14) to an 83-69 win over Ohio State (14-16) in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament. "I'm just playing within the offense and seeing what happens," Johnson said. "I didn't realize what the score was. I got the pass. I was open, and I stroked it. It took a lot of pressure off of me and made me feel more comfortable out there."

Big Ten Tourney starts for IU

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Thursday, March 11,2004 1 a.m.

A new season will begin today. All of those two-point home losses are gone. The Hoosiers (13-14, 7-9 Big Ten) have a chance to forget all of that and make a run to a postseason berth. Eighth seed IU starts the Big Ten Tournament at noon Thursday against ninth seed Ohio State (14-15, 6-10) at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Hoosiers need to win the Big Ten Tournament if they hope to reach the NCAA Tournament. They need at least two wins to guarantee a National Invitational Tournament bid. "We believe we can win," sophomore guard Marshall Strickland said. "We just need to go out there and play as hard as we can and play like it could be our last game, every game."

Birds of a different feather

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Tuesday, March 9,2004 11:55 p.m.

I wonder if Pampers is looking for a new spokesman? Because I found one. Say hi to Terrell Owens, who, after eight years of crying in San Francisco, the big baby -- also known as T.O. -- finally cried loud enough that the 49ers gave him a new toy in a trade to Baltimore. But like a toddler opening up a gift and finding tube socks, Terrell is crying again.

Doubles duo makes national rankings

By Dan Click · Tuesday, March 9,2004 1:02 a.m.

Being friends on the court is part of the territory when it comes to playing sports for any team. But the friendship sophomore John Stone and junior Ryan Recht have off the court has led to success on the tennis courts as they achieved the No. 49 national ranking in doubles in late February. In the season thus far, the Hoosier tandem has compiled a record of 10-4 at the No. 1 doubles slot for the Hoosiers. They have done this against some of the top competition in the country and were able to pull off an upset earlier in the season, before they were nationally ranked in defeating Middle Tennessee State's No. 30, Trevor Short and Kirk Jackson 8-4 Jan. 24. Before they achieved national-ranking status, they began the season ranked No. 13 in the Midwest Region and were able to defeat the No. 9 team in the Midwest from Ball State 9-7 -- which paced the Hoosiers in the victory over the Cardinals. Being nationally ranked was a nice feeling for Stone and Recht in light of the hard work from the fall season and carrying it over into a successful start in the regular season, Recht said. "It was a great feeling going through that list and to see our names on there," Recht said. "I wasn't expecting it right away, but it was a good feeling." This isn't the first time the duo played together, as they were able to finish out the regular season as partners last year and were able to compile a 5-6 record, including 3-3 in the Big Ten.

Hoosiers end year below .500

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, March 8,2004 1:06 a.m.

As the losses continue to mount for the Hoosiers, so does the frustration. IU finished with its first losing regular season since 1969-70, as No. 17 Wisconsin won 70-52 Saturday in Assembly Hall. Now, without a championship in next week's Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers (13-14, 7-9 Big Ten) won't make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 18 years. Without at least two wins in the Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers won't even make the National Invitational Tournament.

A tough goodbye

By Natalie A. Trout · Monday, March 8,2004 1:05 a.m.

Before the game was even over, the look on senior forward A.J. Moye's face summed up the entire Big Ten season of IU basketball. And even after thousands chanted Moye's infamous "A.J. Moye" cheer and a few started up a cheer for senior center George Leach, the emotions still weren't satisfying for Moye. Sad. Disappointed. Frustrated. All words Moye used to describe his feelings after IU's (13-14, 7-9) 70-52 loss to Wisconsin (21-6, 12-4) senior night.
