Team forges fifth-place finish

By Gavin Lesnick · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The Gophers lead the way with 197 points, followed by Michigan (167), Penn State (157), Northwestern (134) and IU (122).

Defense falters again

By Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Familiarity is comforting, except when it's losing. And that's just what the Hoosiers did Saturday in Iowa City against the Hawkeyes. They lost 42-28, in an all too familiar fashion. A dominant offense, an invisible defense. The tone of the game was set a mere 1:45 seconds into the game when Iowa scored on a 75-yard touchdown run. The entire drive consisted of three plays, and from then out the Iowa offense scored on all but one possession in the first half.

Legend enjoying role as coach

By Michael Nalborczyk · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Taking on defenders with relentless courage, there wasn't a more determined and hard-working running back than Anthony Thompson. Thompson's IU career was essentially four yards and a cloud of trust. Not flashy, he was just a back that was always dependable, always reliable and would constantly encourage his line to keep it up after a good gain. The same traits that made him a two-time All-American is causing Thompson to emerge as a young coach on the rise in the college ranks.

Hoosiers look for strong run in championship

By Alex Hickey · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This is it -- the 82nd annual Big Ten Men's Golf Championship has arrived. For the Hoosiers, it represents the end of a season-long quest to forget last season's dismal 11th place finish in the Big Ten. And if enough rolls their way, it could also represent IU's first Big Ten title and NCAA Tournament appearance since 1998.

Team takes 3 of 4 from Illini, improves to 20-4

By Beau Wicker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The Hoosiers were down 3-2 with one out in the bottom of the seventh when freshman second baseman Jay Brant was hit by a pitch.

When you think it can't get any worse...

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

I'd love to write about Antwaan Randle El making a triumphant return to quarterback. I'd love to chronicle the resurgence of a once- (and still-) diaper-soft defense. I'd love to tell the story of the IU boy coming home to coach his alma mater to bowl game after bowl game. But it isn't so. Instead, I'm stuck with losses to teams like Utah. I'm used to it. This week, I realized that since I began covering college football, the teams I cover haven't won a single game. Nope, lost every single time out. Zero wins. Thirteen loses. I covered Ball State football in 1999 during the Cardinals' 21-game losing skid. Then, I transferred to IU -- evidently bringing the curse with me.

Blakeley closes out great career

By Beau Wicker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Coach Bob Morgan said at the beginning of the season that improved defensive play up the middle would be a major reason why this year's IU team (28-12, 9-8 in Big Ten) is better than last year's squad (24-31-1, 7-19 Big Ten). It starts out with senior Eric Blakeley, who's been providing consistent play at shortstop the four years he's been here.

Defense will be deciding factor in upcoming game

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- No.1 Duke was thought of by many as the best team in the nation going into the tournament. Now that the Hoosiers took care of that theory, some are picking Oklahoma as the best team left standing. The Sooners won the West Regional with an 81-75 win against 12th-seeded Missouri in San Jose Saturday night. Sophomore guard A.J. Moye has been impressed.

Hoosiers blow out Lions

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

STATE COLLEGE, PA. -- The game plan for IU was obvious as soon as the game started Wednesday night at Penn State. On its first possession, IU went to Jared Jeffries. The Hoosiers did the same on their second possession. And the third. And on six of their next seven trips down the floor. By the time that stretch was over, IU had a three-point lead, with Jeffries scoring all nine of the Hoosiers' points as Penn State left one defender on him. Jeffries finished the half with 15 points and the game with 22 points in 27 minutes as the Hoosiers coasted to an 85-51 blowout victory in front of 8,674 at the Bryce Jordan Center.

By Alyson Brodsy and Aaron Hunckler · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Row 7 The majority of riders in row 7 are rookie riders looking to make their mark. Cinzano is the only team with a veteran rider, and it's looking to do as well as it did last year, when the team finished in the top 10. All of the teams are anticipating the chance to gain experience and build for the future.

IU athletics suspended until Monday

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This statement has been released from the Indiana University's Athletic Department: Indiana University's Athletic Department has announced all scheduled intercollegiate events are suspended through the weekend. Consistent with the previously released Big Ten statement that institutions would evaluate their own athletics schedules, Indiana University's decision was made after reviewing all of the circumstances surrounding this week's tragedies. Some of the considerations for suspending competition included the safety and welfare of its student-athletes, respect for the victim's families as well as the decision by other major universities in the state to not compete this weekend. In accordance with President Bush's comments regarding a return to normalcy, Indiana University Athletics will return to full force with its scheduled competitions beginning Monday, September 17.

Hoosiers host annual tournament

By Rob Mullally and Robert Mullally · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

If anything can be taken out the men's soccer teams two exhibition games last weekend it's that IU's defense is capable of completely shutting out a ranked opponent, and the Hoosier offense is capable of scoring several goals against a ranked opponent. This weekend, IU will try to combine both in the same match as they host the 19th annual adidas/IU Credit Union Classic at Bill Armstrong Stadium to kickoff the 2001-2002 season.

Cutters, Delta Gamma avoid wrecks, claim victories in final series event

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Most Little 500 teams participate in Team Pursuit -- the final event of the pre-race series -- to get themselves in the right mind-set for the actual race. But Saturday's event hurt some teams more than it helped. Several serious wrecks slowed the event despite limits that allowed only two teams on the track at a time. Two riders broke their collarbones, and one separated a shoulder.

DiNardo named 25th football coach

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Former San Diego Chargers head coach Mike Riley, former LSU head coach Gerry DiNardo and South Florida's Jim Leavitt all have one thing in common: they were rumored to be up for the head coaching position for the IU football team. But Athletics Director Michael McNeely saw something in DiNardo that he didn't see in the others mentioned -- the will to win. Maybe McNeely noticed it while they were both on staff with Colorado in the mid-90s. Maybe it was during DiNardo's tenure at LSU where he lead the Tigers to a 29-9-1 record and three bowl wins. Or it could have been during the month long search to replace the fired Cam Cameron. Or maybe it could have been his brief stint as head coach of the XFL's Birmingham Thunderbolts. Or maybe not.
