Hoosier hiatus ends with 61-56 victory

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, March 4,2004 12:04 a.m.

It has been since the Purdue game Jan. 27. One month and five days is how long Hoosier fans had to wait for a win in Assembly Hall. Wednesday night they got it when IU (13-13, 7-8 Big Ten) beat Michigan (16-10, 7-8) 61-56. "We just wanted to get that winning feeling back," sophomore guard Marshall Strickland said. "After you lose a couple of games, everybody gets down. The mood kind of gets down. We just want to get the fans excited again, and get everybody excited about basketball, and we're not done yet."

Rec Sports reinstates intramural swim meet

By John Fischer · Wednesday, March 3,2004 1:02 a.m.

Thirty-three swimmers turned out for the first intramural swim meet since 1997 Saturday at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center in the Student Recreational Sports Center. This event used to take place annually, but because of lack of participation, RecSports cut the event. But this year, the intramural swim meet is back by popular demand, said Assistant Director for Intramurals Josh Downing. "We used to have this event all the time," Downing said. "'97 was the last time we had it as an intramural event. We stopped it due to lack of participation, but last year, a group of students came to our intramural sports council and recommended we do this. Then the intramural sports council came to us and said, 'Hey, we should do this,' so that is how this event came about today."

IU second home for 2 Czech tennis players

By Dan Click · Monday, March 1,2004 11:12 p.m.

Oftentimes, teams boast players from the same state, maybe even the same city, but not usually the same foreign country. The Hoosiers do that in claiming two players from the Czech Republic with freshman David Bubenicek and junior Jakub Praibis. Bubenicek, a native of Kromeriz, Czech Republic, was mainly drawn to IU for the opportunity to play tennis at a Big Ten school. The education that IU offers was also a factor, as there are many quality programs here that helped persuade Bubenicek in becoming a Hoosier. Though his time on the court has been limited due to injury, he made the most of his only singles appearance of the season in a key victory against Middle Tennessee State Jan. 24, which helped the Hoosiers to a 4-3 victory.

Home finale heartbreak

By Dan Patrick · Monday, March 1,2004 1:20 a.m.

It was like David and Goliath, the 4-12 Hoosiers going up against the No. 22 Michigan State Spartans. Facing a 51-48 deficit, IU sophomore Cyndi Valentin's last-second, running three-pointer shot into the air like the aforementioned rock and struck its mark -- only this time, Goliath got up. After hitting the three pointer at the final second to force the game into overtime, the Spartans won, 60-51. The Hoosiers fought the Spartans doggedly in the second half, never trailing by more than four points in the period and even taking the lead for five minutes. Following a lay-up by MSU junior Kelly Roehrig with nine seconds left in the game, IU was facing a three-point deficit until Valentin connected on a deep three pointer with no time left on the clock.
