Friends remember IU sophomore Patrick Barrett as strong, intelligent By Carley Lanich clanich@indiana.edu | @carleylanich

Sophomore Patrick Barrett loved sports. His father was a high school football coach for North Putnum High School, so Patrick grew up playing football, basketball and baseball. His favorite teams were the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Chicago Cubs and the IU Hoosiers. “Sports-wise, he never wanted to be the guy in the front and never wanted to be the guy in the back,”

his father, Greg Barrett, said. “He was always that guy in the middle, making sure he was doing what he was supposed to.” However, when Patrick got sick for the first time in the eighth grade, he couldn’t enjoy sports like he used to. He was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of cancer often found in bone or soft tissue. After treatment, he beat the Ewing’s sarcoma, only to develop a secondary cancer five years later called osteosarcoma.

Despite chemotherapy treatments and signs of improvement, the 19-year-old chemistry and pre-med student died March 10 in Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health. "He was a kid who battled this for a long time and never complained about anything,” Greg said. “He kind of just always wanted to know what the next step was, what he needed to do to beat this.” After his first bout with cancer, SEE PATRICK, PAGE 8 Sophomore Patrick Barrett died March 10 from cancer.

2 TO TANGO IU advances to Sweet 16 after gutsy win against Kentucky By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu | @MichaelHughes94

DES MOINES, Iowa — For the first time since 2013, the Hoosiers are back in the Sweet 16. Against Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, IU wouldn’t go away despite the injuries of sophomore guard Robert Johnson, freshman forward Juwan Morgan and, at times, freshman forward OG Anunoby. IU survived without these players to hold on and win 73-67, and to advance and play North Carolina this Friday in Philadelphia.

“Juwan went down after Maui, and we stuck with it,” senior guard Nick Zeisloft said. “Rob went down at the end of the Big Ten, and we still won the Big Ten outright. All these situations we’ve been through, and all these struggles we just keep succeeding.” The Hoosiers were led in scoring by freshman center Thomas Bryant with 19 points, 15 of those coming in the last 10 minutes nutes of the game. He also made four our of his free throws in the last minute, nute, including his last three. Starting at the five-minute e-minute mark, Bryant scored 11 off IU’s 12

73-67 points until senior guard Yogi Ferrell more or less ended the game with two free throws with one second left. “When Thomas gets going, he gets going,” senior forward Max Bielfeldt said. “He plays with a lot of passion, and when he’s confident SEE IUBB, PAGE 8

Rock band plays performance at Landlocked Video in local bar cited in court case By James Freeborn

jrfreebo@indiana.edu | @J_Freeborn

Jason Henn said he is used to performing for rowdy audiences in dark venues. But on Sunday, showgoers filed in between rows of vinyl records to watch his band Honey Radar perform an afternoon show at Landlocked Music. This was Henn’s first in-store performance, but he’s been a patron of Landlocked for a long time, he said. He grew up in Richmond, Indiana, and often traveled to Bloomington to visit one of his favorite shops. “It’s just, like, a very good store, and it sprang to mind as an idea to play an in-store when we were booking the Indiana show,” he said. Jason Nickey, co-owner of Landlocked, said in-store shows are a rarity. “We end up not doing them too often,” he said. “It’s just when things sort of fall together in a unique way.” Nickey set up the free Honey Radar concert after the band’s originally scheduled Bloomington show fell through, he said. The band still wanted to play in town, and he said he enjoys Honey Radar’s music. “There has to be a reason to do it,” he said. “Either we really like the band or the band really wants to play here.” Landlocked also sells a few of Honey Radar’s seven-inch lathecut records, he said. Henn said he’s been releasing these small samplings of the

band’s music for years. “It’s important to me for there to be a physical object,” he said. The lathe cuts are like arts and crafts project for Henn and a friend, he said. They only press 20 to 50 records in a batch, so they can become fairly scarce. Henn said he imagined his work with Honey Radar would die down after the band released its first full-length LP a few years ago, but the album received many good reviews and the group’s popularity picked up steam.

“All of a sudden we just started seeing these orders roll in, and some labels got in touch about doing the next album,” he said. Honey Radar is now poised to release its second full-length LP, called “Blank Cartoon,” on the label What’s Your Rupture in May, he said. Henn still writes most of the music himself, but the group is a collaborative project, he said. “I don’t feel like I’m a dictator about it or anything,” he said. The new album will feature

more diverse noises than the last releases, he said. It’s like a collage of sound. “We maybe went all-in with the weirdness a little more than last time,” he said. Though Honey Radar has psych rock elements, Henn said he’s not sure what genre his band fits in. Regardless, he’s happy to have more exposure than in previous years. “I’m just very curious to see how people respond to the album,” he said.

The recent Hulk Hogan v. Gawker Media trial, which resulted in the former professional wrestler being awarded $115 million, had a small Bloomington connection. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, initially sued Gawker for invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress after the gossip site posted a minute-anda-half-long excerpt from a 30-minute sex tape of Bollea without his permission. In court documents, Bollea’s attorney pointed out previous instances of former Gawker editor A.J. Daulerio, who wrote the accompanying article with Bollea’s sex tape, invading individuals’ privacy. One such instance was in 2010, when Daulerio posted an explicit video of an intoxicated woman having sex on the floor of a men’s bathroom in a Bloomington bar. According to the documents, she was lying in a pool of urine. With this anecdote, and many others, Bollea’s attorney meant to prove that Gawker was negligent and reckless with sources’ privacy. A search of the article shows it was originally posted on Deadspin, SEE HULK, PAGE 8
