Latest ULM blog: Outback Classic golf approaching fast
TIM HOLCOMB: Last week was a very good week for the ULM men's basketball team. On Tuesday, the Warhawks extended their home winning streak to 15 games with a 105-75 victory over an outmanned Alcorn State team. The win coupled with a loss by Southern Illinois to No. 15 Indiana last week gives ULM the 10th longest home winning streak in the nation. Impressive. On Friday playing its first game in the 26th annual Hawkeye Challenge tournament, the Warhawks came from 16 points down to defeat its Big 10 opponent, the Iowa Hawkeyes, in overtime, 72-67. The following day, ULM won its third game in a row, beating Rice in the championship game, 80-67, to become only the third team in the 26-year history of the Hawkeye Challenge to claim the tournament title. With the win, ULM claimed its first regular season tournament title since the 1987-1988 season when the then-Indians men's basketball team won the Utah Classic in Salt Lake City.
Dodgers introduce Andruw Jones
LOS ANGELES—Now that the Los Angeles Dodgers have Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent in the lineup next season, they can turn their attention to finding a starting pitcher. Their first choice appears to be free-agent Japanese star Hiroki Kuroda. Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti made clear his desire to land the 32-year-old right-hander at a Dodger Stadium news conference where Jones was introduced Wednesday, a week after the sides agreed to a $36.2 million, two-year contract. "There were a lot of teams out there who wanted to talk," said Jones, who has won 10 straight Gold Gloves. "I wanted to come out here and be a winner." Several teams have expressed interest in Kuroda, who has a 103-89 record with a 3.69 ERA in 11 seasons with the Hiroshima Carp of the Central League.
