Wisconsin is creating a buzz in Big Ten
The Badgers could be the first since '76 to go unbeaten in the league.
By Skip Myslenski Special to The Morning Call
As the Big Ten churns ?
This was late Wednesday night, 70 minutes after Wisconsin had sidled past Purdue with a performance barely more than successful. The Badgers had missed open shots, had been woeful on three-pointers and had done just enough to survive, which they would do again three days later with a late rally at Illinois.

By Steve Warden
The Journal Gazette
Remember those gut-wrenching days of yesteryear and Mike Davis, when the only way to figure whether another Indiana basketball season could be salvaged was to do the math and determine when the Hoosiers would become ? ready for nostalgia? ?

Sampson has IU back in Top 25
Southern Cal also joins Top 25 for first time this season
BY JIM O'CONNELL | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kelvin Sampson's first Indiana team is where most of his Oklahoma squads spent quite a bit of time.
The Hoosiers moved into The Associated Press' Top 25 for the first time this season Monday, riding a five-game winning streak to No. 23 in the poll.
"It does and it doesn't," Sampson said when asked if being ranked really matters in this age of making the NCAA tournament being all that matters to the bigger programs.

COLLEGE HOOPS Eye injury could keep Spartans' Joseph out
January 23, 2007
FREE PRESS STAFF AND NEWS SERVICES
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo called Maurice Joseph's status "iffy" for Wednesday's game against Minnesota after the sophomore guard suffered a scratched right eye Saturday against Penn State.
Izzo said the eye appeared fine after the game, but worsened Monday morning. Joseph has been fitted with a clear contact lens to speed the healing, and he might wear protective goggles he sported last season for a scratched right cornea.

Hoosiers coach makes Illini see red
Recruiting tactics upset Illinois fans
January 23, 2007
BY SHANNON SHELTON
FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER
Expect the Orange Krush to be in a frenzy when Indiana travels to Illinois tonight -- all over an athlete who won't appear on the court.
Illini fans will relish their first opportunity to let Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson know how they feel about his signing of top-ranked recruit Eric Gordon. Gordon is a 6-foot-3 guard from Indianapolis who initially committed to Illinois, but switched to Indiana less than a month before national signing day Nov. 8.

Izzo, Ibok looking for way to get big man back on track
By Joe Rexrode
Lansing State Journal
EAST LANSING - An increased emphasis on their performance is yielding positive returns for three big men in Michigan State's four-man rotation.
Goran Suton, Marquise Gray and Drew Naymick - beneficiaries of intense, post-practice drills - are settling into concrete roles and playing better. Now the Spartans are shifting more attention to sophomore center Idong Ibok, a starter who is seeing little action after his initial stint in games.
