The music of the Shakespearean age echoed from the walls of the museum, seemingly coming from nowhere. Tables around the first floor were filled with colorful paper and art supplies. This was the scene of the IU Art Museum’s “From the HeART� event, which took place Friday in honor of both Valentine’s Day and the upcoming IU Theatre production of “Romeo and Juliet.� Bianca Dutra, secretary of the Art Museum Student Organization, said the event falls in line with the objective of her student group. “Our main goal of AMSO is to get more people into the museum, especially students, so we’re hoping that more students will come in,� Dutra said. “We try to bring them in with the events with the hopes that they will come back and see the exhibits.� Dutra said this event is similar to the “Art After Dark� event AMSO hosts each year, as that particular event also includes collaboration between music and art. “Usually we do those events at night or during off-hours so that people who wouldn’t get a chance to attend during the day can come in,� Dutra said. “We usually have crafts up there and we have bands playing, especially for ‘Art After Dark.’� Dutra said the other departments involved took over much SEE SHAKESPEARE, PAGE 6
90-71 IU sets record for 3-pointers with 18 in 19-point win Sunday against Minnesota More basketball, page 8 Columnist Casey Krajewski says IU’s home success is not a true display of the team’s potential.

Sometimes, shooting can bail out a team on a bad night. It’s basketball’s most unfair equalizer — hitting from 20.75 feet can mask a lot of deficiencies and win games for overmatched teams. But sometimes, good shooting performances are just a result of strong play — the most visible end product for the hidden workings of an offense. That’s how it worked out for IU in a 90-71 win against Minnesota on Sunday night. On offense, IU (18-8, 8-5) worked its way around Minnesota’s (16-10, 5-8) trap-heavy defense with ball movement. Drives to the rim turned into kick-outs to the perimeter.

Kick-outs turned into swing passes, which turned into extra passes, which resulted in open shots. And more often than not, IU hit those shots. The Hoosiers broke a program record for made 3-pointers in a game, shooting 18-of-32 from deep. SEE 3-POINTERS, PAGE 6
Freshmen break out of brief shooting slumps with 43 points against Gophers By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu | @Sam_Beishuizen
Freshmen guards James Blackmon Jr. and Robert Johnson appear to be just fine. Coming off an uncharacteristically poor performance against Maryland, the two combined for 43 points in the Hoosiers’ 90-71 win against Minnesota at Assembly Hall. It was a massive improvement for them after scoring a combined 13 points against the Terrapins. Somewhere in between Maryland and Indiana, the two found their shots. “It definitely felt good when everybody’s hitting shots,� Johnson said. “Some days, you know, like what happened at Maryland the ball won’t go in, but some games you turn it around. We just
have to approach it with the same mindset every time.� The freshmen’s mindsets seemed fine as they connected on back-to-back 3-pointers early in the second half to double IU’s lead from six to 12 in just 28 seconds. They weren’t done there. They went on to hit six more in the half to help IU pull away. Together, they combined to connect on 11 3-point tries as part of a record-breaking night for IU (18-8, 8-5) beyond the arc that saw the Hoosiers hit a program-record 18 treys. IU Coach Tom Crean said it was good to see the two play well, but insisted they haven’t hit any sort of wall in terms of freshmen fatigue. He clarified that hitting SEE FRESHMEN, PAGE 6

A circle of candlelight surrounded Showalter Fountain on Friday night. Students, faculty and community members held candles to honor the lives of the three college-aged victims, Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23; Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21; and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, of a recent shooting at an apartment complex near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. Haseeb Mohideen, the president of the Muslim Student Union, said his board began organizing the interfaith vigil in response to student demand. “Those three people are very relatable to almost everyone,� he said. “It just hits home that much more.� Mohideen began the vigil by thanking the almost 200 attendees for bearing the cold and acknowledged the event’s co-sponsors — the Feminist Student Association, Arab Student Association, Oxfam at IU, Hillel and Stop the Kyriarchy — as well as advertisers. “A lot of the organizations, we didn’t even have to ask,� he said. A moment of silence was followed by short speeches by students Fariha Hossain and Ayesha Syed, who spoke about the victims’ short lives and promising futures. Hossain said Barakat was a dental student at North Carolina and his new bride Yusor Mohammed
