IU's offense can't get going in loss

·

ANN ARBOR. Mich. -- In practice leading up to IU's game at Michigan Saturday, coach Gerry DiNardo challenged his cornerbacks. He told them whoever had the most interceptions would start the game against the Wolverines. That turnover mentality carried over, as IU had two picks and two forced fumbles in the first half against Michigan. Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, the offense couldn't capitalize on any of those opportunities. IU lost 31-17 in a lackluster offensive performance, despite a number of chances.

IU hopes for home advantage

·

The men's golf team will host the Hoosier Invitational this Saturday and Sunday at the IU Golf Course. The team's confidence remains high entering the weekend thanks to a strong showing at last weekend's Northern Intercollegiate. Junior Jeff Overton took home the individual title, and the Hoosiers took second place as a team. "It was great for us to get off to that kind of start," coach Mike Mayer said. "We played very solidly the whole tournament. We had very few hiccups. Obviously we fed off of Jeff Overton's play. Having somebody leading like Jeff Overton leading makes everybody a little bit more comfortable."

NCAA claims alcohol the root of wild fan celebrations

·

In the still-young Myles Brand era of the NCAA, the ex-IU president has focused on cleaning up the multi-million dollar industry that is collegiate sports, with efforts to return the "student to student-athlete." But according to a recently released NCAA report from the Sportsmanship and Fan Behavioral Summit, the problem of behavioral misconduct does not lie solely with those in the athletic department. The summit was created to discuss the growing problem of fans' behavior at sporting events when linked with alcohol.
