Illinois ousts IU from Big Ten tourney

CHICAGO -- Bracey Wright needed help as he was escorted off the court into the locker room late in the first half. Just minutes later, Marshall Strickland was taken to the locker room after his head collided with Illinois sophomore guard Luther Head, causing Strickland to bleed profusely. Two freshman guards gone and senior forward Jeff Newton on the bench with foul trouble highlighted a disastrous start to the second semi-final game in the Big Ten Tournament.

Davis to face alma mater

·

BOSTON—IU coach Mike Davis thought about scheduling a non-conference game against Alabama, his alma mater, this past season. But then he said he decided to wait until some of the Crimson Tide's players were off the roster. The players that scared him off included sophomore point guard Maurice Williams (16 ppg, 3.9 apg), senior forward Erwin Dudley (14.7 ppg. 9.5 rpg) and freshman swingman Kennedy Winston (11.3 ppg, 4.6 rpg).

Rematch a chance for redemption

·

IU basketball fans are most likely looking forward to the upcoming spring break -- some time to relax and rest their weak hearts after a season so up and down it could be a new ride at Six Flags. A couple of weeks ago, the Hoosiers' tournament hopes were on life support. They limped back into Assembly Hall after losing two of three games on the road (including a 26-point rout at the hand of Illinois) with a 6-7 conference record. But a two-game home-stand quickly mended their losing ways as they beat Iowa and Minnesota to go one game above .500 in the conference. They were finally off the dreaded bubble -- their tickets to the NCAA tournament all but punched.

Sophomore learns from summer play

·

During her freshman year as a Hoosier water polo team member, sophomore Krista Peterson was effective for the Hoosiers. She was the third leading scorer on the team with 50 goals and led the team in assists with 30. Although her freshmen year was impressive, Peterson said she has improved this year largely due to her participation on the Junior National Water Polo team this summer. "Her summer with Junior Nationals really helped her on the defensive end," Coach Barry King said. "The biggest improvement I see in her is on the defensive end where she has made really big strides."

Distance runner makes NCAAs

Tuesday, the NCAA released the roster for those who will compete at the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., next weekend. Sophomore John Jefferson was waiting for the list to let him know if he will attend the meet as a participant. Jefferson was sitting at 25th in the mile and needed to be among the top 15 to qualify for the meet. "I didn't want to be waiting around for the list to come out, so instead I went out and studied and had (sophomore Stephen) Haas call me to let me know," Jefferson said. "Earlier coach had told me I was pretty much in and we had a pretty good idea that I was."

Win worth waiting for

·

The successful baseball formula of quality pitching and timely hitting added up to a 4-1 IU victory over Butler on a sunny Wednesday afternoon at Sembower Field. The Hoosiers' (7-1) bats started slowly, but three timely extra base hits combined with solid pitching provided the winning margin for Coach Bob Morgan's club. After two cancellations, IU was finally able to open its home season. And Morgan said he was happy with what he saw.
