Hoosiers Look to Ride Win Against No. 4 Penn State into Weekend on the Road
Coming off an impressive weekend that included wins at home against Ohio State and defending national champions Penn State, Sherry Dunbar and the IU volleyball team hope to keep their momentum rolling into Wisconsin on Friday and Illinois on Saturday. Prior to Friday’s win over the Buckeyes, the Hoosiers had started the Big Ten portion of their schedule 0-4 after starting the season 12-0 in non-conference play. The twin killing over the weekend earned sophomore Jordan Haverly Big-Ten Co-Player of the Week honors. The confidence gained from beating a powerhouse like Penn State will help the team in their quest for an NCAA tournament bid.
IU Soccer faces Michigan in Saturday Nightcap
Though most fans will be tired from tailgating and the Homecoming football game on Saturday, Todd Yeagley will expect a large crowd at Bill Armstrong Stadium Saturday night as the Michigan Wolverines visit for an 8pm match against the Hoosiers. IU is relishing a 3-2 win over No. 11 Creighton over the weekend, led by two goals from Junior Will Bruin. The performance earned Bruin Big-Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors for the third time this season.
It’s coming… Can You Feel It?
Friday night kicks off the official start of practice for NCAA men’s basketball teams. Hoosier Hysteria will be the first time the IU Faithful will be able to see the athleticism of freshman Victor Oladipo up-close and see if sharpshooter Matt Roth still has his stroke after missing almost the entire 2009-2010 season with a broken foot. The mystery of Guy-Marc Michel will be unveiled for the first time to IU fans, and maybe even Tom Crean.
The event is not only to energize the Indiana fan base, but to also spark interest in the number of recruits Tom Crean has invited. Expect commits Austin Etherington and Ron Patterson to receive some love from Hoosier fans.
A number former players including Damon Bailey, Archie Dees, Brian Evans, Matt Nover, Wayne Radford, Jimmy Rayl, and Landon Turner will be participating in an autograph session starting at 7:30. There is no word yet on whether Kyle Taber and Tijan Jobe will be in attendance.
My fingers are crossed.
