As the IU players stood across the court Sunday and faced the band with arms around each other’s waists, they sang the IU alma mater while Nebraska became the fifth Big Ten team of a higher standing to walk in defeat to the locker room. Nebraska entered with a one-game lead on IU in the Big Ten standings, joined four schools that faced IU with a better conference record and failed to leave the court with a victory. Dominating the Cornhuskers 59-47 not only pushed the Hoosiers’ record to 11-0 in Assembly Hall this season, but it also improved their conference record to 7-5. IU is now tied with Nebraska for fifth place in the Big Ten. “It’s something that’s definitely a goal for us: to compete with everyone in the Big Ten and be a team that has a little bit of say,” sophomore forward Amanda Cahill said. “I think we’re on our way there, but we’re just trying to stay focused, stay together and take it one game at a time.” Nebraska 6-foot-4 freshman Jessica Shepard entered the game averaging 20 points and eight rebounds per game and came off a 35-point, 20-rebound outburst against
Michigan. Thanks to Cahill and Anderson in the post, though, the freshman put up a double-double — 18 points and 13 rebounds — but did not hurt the Hoosiers as much as she did the Wolverines. Aside from Shepard, 6-foot-5 Nebraska junior center Allie Havers had 10 points but just 6 rebounds, and both players committed four personal fouls. “I thought Jenn Anderson did a really good job of making her uncomfortable,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “She had 18, but it was a wellearned 18 because of Jenn’s focus and what she had to do to keep her at bay.” After shooting 48.3 percent from the field in a victory at home against the Iowa Hawkeyes, the team continued its homestand against Nebraska converting just 26.3 percent of its first-half shots. Junior guard Alexis Gassion led the way with 11 points on 15 shot attempts. But where the shooting was lacking, the Hoosiers’ ball movement and defense made up for it. Opening shot attempts on the inside penetrated guards to make passes and provided opportunities for more offensive possessions. The shots just weren’t going down. SEE IUWBB, PAGE 5
IU will conduct a review of fewer than 20 sexual assault hearings dating back to the beginning of the school year following accusations that Jason Casares, IU associate dean of students, sexually assaulted a colleague at an Association for Student Conduct Administration conference in December, according to IU spokesperson Mark Land. Casares, who also serves as the University’s Title IX director, sat on a three-member panel that reviews IU students’ reports of Jason sexual misconduct in Casares the hearing stage. Casares was hired in 2011 as the associate dean of students and director of student ethics, according to a 2011 IU press release. Before coming to IU, Casares worked as an assistant dean of students at the University of Arizona. He has since been placed on paid administrative leave while the University investigates the allegations, which came last week via an open letter posted on Twitter by Jill Creighton, an assistant director for global community standards at New York University. “The University found out about this Wednesday evening when the accuser’s letter to her fellow members of the Association for Student Conduct Administration became public,” Land said in an email. “He has been placed on paid administrative leave by the University while we investigate the claims made against him.” Creighton tweeted the letter after learning Casares would be allowed to attend an ASCA conference last week in St. Petersburg, Florida. In her letter, Creighton said Casares, the former ASCA president-elect, took advantage of her after she had too much to drink at the December convention in Fort Worth, Texas. Creighton, claiming she felt unsafe in the ASCA, said she then filed a criminal complaint with police in Texas. Fort Worth Police Department officer Daniel Segura confirmed a sexual assault investigation case is open in the department, and contact was made with Creighton at around 9:30 p.m. Dec. 9, 2015. “I also could not stand the SEE CASARES, PAGE 5
Local gun proponents discuss their right to bear arms By Hannah Fleace hfleace@indiana.edu | @Hfleace
When Steve Bartlett was just a kid, he used to pack a lunch and take his gun to the quarries nearby. He’d spend all afternoon unloading rounds into a tin can, the bangs and pings echoing off limestone. “It’s called plinking,” Bartlett said. “And back then, that’s just what you did.” The next morning, 7-year-old Bartlett would take his 22 mm rifle and a box of ammunition to school. The teacher told the boys to put their guns in the clip closet, and everybody went about their day. “After school we’d go to these big trash piles out back,” Bartlett said. “We’d shoot at rats and dig for treasure.” Today Bartlett and his wife Kim own Precision Shooting Range. It’s a far cry from piles of garbage or tin cans and isn’t even a year old yet. “I’m a range owner, not a politician,” Bartlett said. “But I believe people should have the choice to carry concealed and have something in the home to protect them.” The debate over gun control is a hot issue across the country. Early in January, President Obama announced executive action on gun control. Indiana Rep. Jim Lucas,
R-Seymour, introduced two gun bills in response. House Bill 1055 would allow people to carry firearms on state property, including universities. The second bill, HB 1056, would allow Hoosiers to carry a weapon concealed or otherwise without a permit. Currently, the bills are in their first readings in the Committee on Public Policy. On a Saturday afternoon, the Bartletts’ range is packed with people exercising their Second Amendment right loudly and with several rapid bangs. In a building up the hill, about 40 women packed into a room, purses on the tables, guns at the hip. The Well Armed Women shooting chapter for Monroe County was having its monthly meeting. Grandmas, mothers, wives and sisters listened to a police officer talk about gun safety and the law. Is it illegal to bring your gun on property that has a sign posted, “no firearms allowed,” the officer repeated an often-asked question. Not illegal, but you could be in trouble for trespassing if they ask you to leave and you stay. Keep your purse with you. Keep your keys in your hand so you have something to fight back with.

teaches hunting safety with the Department of Natural Resources. It was pretty common for lots of families to have guns, she said. It was fine because firearms were respected.
“You learned to use them, to respect them properly, to take care of them — the good and the bad of the tool,” she said. “People aren’t instructed that way anymore, and so it’s either for violence or for
their own reasons.” The purpose of TWAW organization is to educate women on firearms and gun safety and SEE GUNS, PAGE 5

Ochmaa Dashzeveg plays the Tatga during Tsagaan Sar, the Mongolian New Year, celebration in the IMU. The Mongolia Society and The Mongolian Student Association is host to the Tsagaan Sar celebration at IU.
Mongolians observe New Year By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner
Ochmaa Escue learned how to play the yatga, a Mongolian string instrument, when she was in middle school. After moving from Mongolia to the United States 14 years ago, Escue said her instrument still provides a connection to her culture and her home. Escue, who works in the IU Office of Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, performed during Saturday’s Mongolian Lunar New Year celebration in the Indiana Memorial Union. The new year celebration, also called Tsagaan Sar, featured music and poetry performances by Mongolian students, faculty and Bloomington residents. “There are not very many of us, but we are very close,” Escue said. “Here we get to celebrate one of our biggest holidays in our own way and introduce our culture to
other people, too.” The celebration was organized by the Mongolia Society and the Department of Central Eurasian Studies. They have been sponsoring the celebration for 30 years, said Susie Drost, executive director of the Mongolia Society. “Right now, IU is the only university where you can get a degree in Mongolian studies,” Drost said. “So it’s very important for us to continue doing this celebration and continue promoting Mongolian history and culture.” Drost said she does most of the cooking for the event, which features traditional Mongolian food such as dumplings called buuz. Buuz are one of the biggest traditions of Tsagaan Sar, said Saruul Erdem, a law student who moved to Bloomington from Mongolia one year ago. “This is my first time celebrating the holiday in America, and it’s so nice to have all these people who want to celebrate with us
and learn about our homeland,” Erdem said. “Some of these folk songs are things even I forgot about, and it made me so happy to hear them.” The audience for the celebration filled the room until there were no seats left. About two dozen people stood in the back of the room behind the rest of the audience. Some were Mongolian students and families who joined the singers during the folk songs. Others were IU students who did not have a background in Mongolian culture. “The songs and poems are a really interesting look into Mongolian culture that you can’t really get any other way,” folklore and ethnomusicology student Jennifer McKenzie said. “It’s very hard to study Mongolia. You wouldn’t get to see a celebration like this in very many places.” According to the zodiac system used in many Asian
countries, including Mongolia, 2016 is the year of the fire monkey, Mongolian studies professor Christopher Atwood said. “Previous fire monkey years include the year the U.S. declared independence,” Atwood said. “So I think we’re in for a very interesting 12 months.” Tuesday night, the official start of the Mongolian lunar year, Mongolian members of the community will visit each other to celebrate other Tsagaan Sar traditions, Erdem said. She said many Mongolians clean their houses and wear new clothes to symbolize a fresh start to the year. “Of course, this is a good opportunity for students to learn more about Mongolia and our culture,” said Tserenchunt Legden, a professor in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies. “But it is also something that reminds us of home and gives us something to look forward to.”
GPSG learns active shooter responses By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich
As they sat in Hodge Hall 2075, graduate students were faced with the jarring thought of what would happen if an active shooter, somebody who wants to kill as many people as possible, entered the room. Where is the nearest exit? What could be used as a weapon? Who would survive and who wouldn’t? All these questions lingered in students’ minds as they listened to emergency management coordinator John Summerlot’s active shooter presentation at Friday’s Graduate and Professional Student Government meeting. Before beginning, Summerlot told assembly members his presentation was not intended to scare them. “The idea is to keep you mentally prepared and aware in situations that you’re going into and how best to get out of those,” he said.
Summerlot taught GPSG members about how to react in an active shooter situation using the method “Run, Hide, Fight.” At the first sounds of gunfire, students who are not near the shooter should run. Whether it’s under a desk or in a barricaded room, students who are near the shooter but have not yet been seen should hide. If the shooter begins to approach, students should fight with anything available, including desks, chairs or laptops. “The idea behind ‘Run, Hide, Fight’ is to keep you safe and keep them moving on, looking for that next available soft target,” Summerlot said. Although this method is useful in deciding what to do, Summerlot added that each situation is different, and where the shooter is and where each person is changes it. “You can’t universally say ‘Oh, you should always do this or you should always do that,’” Summerlot added. The average active
shooter incident lasts for less than four minutes, and the average response time of the IU Police Department is about two and a half minutes. This method is to keep people safe during the short duration of the incident, Summerlot said. As part of this method, it is important for people to think about different exits in the rooms they are often in or what could be used as a weapon in their office or classroom. Summerlot said part of his job is to get people to think differently about the rooms and spaces they are in. “Think about the spaces you’re in on a regular basis and how they might look a little bit different or what you could do in an emergency to make those better spaces,” he said. As the emergency management coordinator, Summerlot’s looks after all IU campuses and deal with all emergencies including floods, fires or overseas travel emergencies.
“My job is to make sure students, staff and faculty are prepared to respond to the emergencies they may run across on a daily basis,” Summerlot said. After the presentation, there was a short time for assembly members to ask questions. Some questions were about concealed carry on campus and when each part of the “Run, Hide, Fight” method applies. In terms of where the state of Indiana is on concealed carry on campus, Summerlot said each year a bill is proposed but has never gone past committee. Although the ideas and feelings from the presentation may have been jarring, GPSG President Ben Verdi said it is important to know this type of information. “I think it’s important for us to understand that there are a myriad of different situations that we might find ourselves in,” Verdi said. “We’re going to be potentially people who really need to know this kind of stuff.”
For the next few years, IU campuses will face considerable demographic challenges in the recruitment of new students. The population of 18-year-olds, the primary target of University recruiters, has seen a slight but steady decrease in the past five years, both nationwide and in the Midwest. These numbers are projected to slump lower in upcoming semesters as well. “We’re committed to enrolling students who we believe really have the capacity to thrive and succeed in our programs,” said John Applegate, executive vice president for the Office of University Academic Affairs. Applegate, along with Todd Schmitz, executive director of University Institutional Research and Reporting, gave a presentation on these enrollment trends and how the University plans to respond at the Feb. 5 Board of Trustees meeting. Applegate said these numbers are the new normal. Fewer students are attending feeder schools, such as Ivy Tech Community College, and then transferring to IU campuses. These combined factors mean the pool of potential new students at IU campuses is shrinking, albeit at low rates. Regional campuses are more affected by this trend since those schools tend to attract mostly local students. IU-Bloomington, as the flagship institution, can more easily pursue out-ofstate students to apply and fill the gaps. “These enrollment reports are one of the issues the trustees are concerned about,” said Debbie Lemon, Board of Trustees secretary. “Updates give us insight on what the state of the campus is.” Recruiters are looking at several strategies to draw more students to IU, including focusing on bringing in high school graduates who may not have thought about attending college but have the potential to be successful students.
“These enrollment reports are one of the issues the trustees are concerned about. Updates give us insight on what the state of the campus is.” Debbie Lemon, Board of Trustees secretary
There is also the possibility of creating middle-range tuition rates for students who live in the Midwest. By making college more affordable for nearby non-Indiana residents, IU becomes a considerably more reasonable option, Applegate said. Despite these challenges, Applegate said the admissions picture at all eight IU campuses looks positive. Officials have doubled efforts and the sophistication of the work being done on campus. Plans to make the infrastructure of the campuses more sustainable and to add course offerings and research opportunities make IU more attractive to potential students. They also increase the likelihood of students remaining within the system until graduation. The four- and six-year graduation rates for IUB and IU-Purdue University Indianapolis have gone up in recent years. IU online education has also seen an increase, with more than 25,000 students taking at least one online course. IU’s overall online programs ranking rose from 72nd to 39th place out of more than 300 similarly structured programs. Applegate said the statistical trends are certainly something to look for and base policy on, but their overall message does not take away from what IUB and the regional campuses are attempting to accomplish. “Although these numbers tell us something, there is nothing more important than graduation rates and retention rates,” Applegate said. “The true state of enrollment relates to revenue and the number of degreeseeking students.”

HEC council will try to halt bill By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu | @Anne_Halliwell
The Hoosier Environmental Council plans to use public opinion to halt House Bill 1082, which passed the Indiana House 64-33 last week. HB 1082 would, if passed, stop environmental organizations in Indiana from passing stricter regulations than the federal government requires for all states. The bill was referred to the Senate on Wednesday. The Hoosier Environmental Council is looking to Indiana residents to contact members of the Senate about the bill, dubbed “No More Stringent Than,” said Kim Ferraro, a senior staff attorney for the HEC, in an email. “Right now we’re focused
on convincing Senator Ed Charbonneau, who chairs the environmental affairs committee, to not hear the bill so that it will die in committee,” Ferraro said. “In that regard, we’re urging our supporters to contact Senator Charbonneau and members of the committee ... and to contact their own senator in the event the bill passes committee and goes to a floor vote.” Rep. David Wolkins, RWinona Lake, who authored the bill, did not respond to interview requests by the IDS by Sunday. Sen. Charbonneau, RValparaiso, was added as a sponsor to the bill Tuesday, according to the Indiana General Assembly website. In February of 2014, Charbonneau heard House Bill 1143, authored by
Wolkins, which also prohibited environmental boards from “adopting a rule or standard that is more stringent than the corresponding regulation or standard established under federal law.” HB 1143 did not pass the Senate’s Environmental Affairs Committee. According to the HEC’s BillWatch 2014, Charbonneau refused to call a vote on the prior bill, and it died in committee. The HEC’s BillWatch 2016 expresses concern about HB 1082’s effect on boards like the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, which responds to environmental emergencies and regulates pollution. “Some people have the view that EPA is too aggressive and tries to tackle every
environmental problem out there,” the HEC’s website reads. “While the EPA has acted decisively to protect our air quality, there are many areas where the EPA has been, candidly, weak.” Some of these areas include clean-up programs and regulation of pollution hazards, according to the HEC website. If the bill passes, IDEM could be unable to respond properly in the event of an environmental crisis, according to the HEC website. The Indiana Department of Enivronmental Management is not commenting on HB 1082 as it moves through the legislative process, said Amy Smith, from IDEM’s Office of Media Relations, in an email. If HB 1082 passes, it will come into effect July 2016.
Local distillery celebrates one year By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman
Adam Quirk and Jeff Wuslich met in 2010 when Quirk interviewed Wuslich to be his wedding DJ. During the interview, the two instantly bonded over distilling. This is what Quirk said planted the seed for their distillery, Cardinal Spirits. This month, Cardinal Spirits is celebrating its oneyear anniversary. Cardinal Spirits is a craft spirits bar and distillery with a focus on providing high-quality, allnatural and locally sourced alcoholic beverages. The distillery celebrated its anniversary with events last weekend, including a dance party Saturday night, and offered special anniversary cocktails. Wuslich and Quirk started raising money to open the distillery in 2013 when Indiana passed the artisan distiller’s law, which allowed distilleries to sell directly to the consumer. They wanted to have a place where they could educate consumers, bring them into the distillery, make a spirit and show them the whole process, Wuslich said. The sophisticated vibe is part of what sets Cardinal

Spirits apart from other bars in Bloomington, Cardinal Spirits Events Director Alison Zook said. “You’re not in a dive bar,” Zook said. “It’s a nice, classy place where you can get beautiful cocktails.” Much like how craft breweries are popular, craft spirits are the new trend, Quirk said. They try to make the highest quality products possible, Wuslich said, while still making the atmosphere approachable and fun. “We take the word ‘craft
spirits’ to a different level,” Zook said. Cardinal Spirits doesn’t use any predistilled neutral alcohol, and everything is made from scratch using as many local ingredients as possible. Additionally, the tanks, pumps, bottling machine and broilers are all made in Indiana, Wuslich said. Quirk and Wuslich care about the people who work with them just as much as they care about making a profit, Quirk said. Many of the
employees have been there since day one, he said. The best part about having a business in Bloomington is the people of Bloomington, Wuslich said. They care passionately about food and drink and supporting local businesses. “The best compliment I got was yesterday,” Wuslich said. “Somebody said, ‘I can’t believe you’ve only been here for a year. It feels like you’ve always been here.’ That’s when I felt like we were really doing our job.”

Founder of style blog reflects on company growth

Amy Levin, IU graduate and creative director of CollegeFashionita, founded the website in 2009 for college students interested in fashion, beauty, decor and lifestyle trends. By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman
CollegeFashionista began as a personal blog in 2009. Now, seven years later, the company is at 500 schools and has more than 1,500 student contributors each semester. Founder and IU alumna Amy Levin, who started the blog her senior year, created CollegeFashionista when she realized there were no websites talking specifically about college fashion, she said. “I felt like no one was focusing on college students when it came to fashion,” Levin said. “I wanted a place where college students could come and share their advice, and really feel like they were a part of the industry and connecting with one another.” The blog began focusing on college street style fashion, including brands college students were wearing, how they were styling their outfits and how other students could imitate them, Levin said. The real evolution of the brand happened in 2013, when it went from a simple blog to an actual company, Levin said. “It was a lot of trial and error,” Levin said. “Figuring out what type of content college students like and identifying how college students engage with one another.” The website now has an editorial calendar, featuring content about fashion, beauty, décor and lifestyle. The company just launched a new “Office Hours” podcast series. In each
episode, Levin chats with fashion and beauty industry insiders about their careers and how they got to where they are today. The first episode features Joyce Chang, editor-in-chief of Self magazine. “I was always a believer and determined and motivated, which are qualities you need to have to start your own company,” Levin said. CollegeFashionista has the ability to affect students’ lives and help them launch a career, Levin said. “At Indiana and schools in the middle of nowhere, CollegeFashionista is actually shaping their careers,” Levin said. “It’s this gang — you have this forever kind of loyalty to the brand if you’re a part of it.” Martha Eelman, a senior at IU, started writing for CollegeFashionista in January 2015. CollegeFashionista improved her writing skills and connected her to a network of style gurus across the country, Eelman said. “They provide so many opportunities that you normally couldn’t get,” Eelman said. “I’ve participated in collaborations that they run with Steve Madden, Old Navy, Sephora and Clinique.” Levin said her best piece of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is to work hard and seize every opportunity but also enjoy every phase in the career path. “Don’t be in such a rush to get to the next phase,” Levin said. “Everyone wants to be Anna Wintour. Enjoy the ride a little bit. Take each job and each role as it comes.”
Sycamore Land Trust has silent walk at nature preserve By Cody Thompson Comthomp@indiana.iu.edu @CodyMichael3
One by one or two by two, people stepped onto the first boardwalk and disappeared into winding trails. They walked over small bridges crossing smaller creeks, past the many wild animals roaming for food and shelter. Sycamore Land Trust began its third all-public walk through Beanblossom Bottoms Nature Preserve on
Feb. 6. The crowd gathered in the small parking lot before the start of the walk. Veteran Outdoor Educator and IU alumnus Shane Gibson led the event. As the crowd waited, he emerged from the trail after preparing signs, posting quotes on trees and setting up pine needle tea for the hikers to drink. Sycamore Land Trust is a nonprofit that protects 9,000 acres of land in Monroe County, including
Beanblossom Bottoms, Gibson said. This hike was the first solitude walk put on by Sycamore Land Trust that encouraged silence and observation above everything else. “What is the peace of being outside?” Gibson said. “Sometimes you don’t get that unless you go out by yourself.” Sycamore Land Trust member and bird watcher Christina Wray does not typically like going on group hikes, she said. However, the
solitude was a good transition, she said . “I’m a birder so usually I’m really focused on the birds,” Wray said. “So this time I challenged myself to not get distracted by the birds and just pay attention to the forest.” While dismissing people to go into the woods in groups of one or two, Gibson read aloud from a book with a theme of nature. The IU alumnus said he does this to tie in his love of literature to
his love of nature. Aside from the forest to admire, there were many quotes attached to the trees for hikers to read. These quotes came from Robert Frost, Andy Warhol, Wendell Berry, Helen Keller and many others. “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks,” a quote from John Muir read. Even with about a dozen participants, the walk maintained its idea of solitude as
there was close to no speaking on the trails. “As we walk individually, the rustle of the leaves and whistles of the birds can be taken in,” Gibson said. Sycamore Land Trust is host to events similar to this one throughout the year. The next event is Preserve-A-Preserve Day on Feb. 18. “Unless you make opportunities all times of the year to be out, you may miss wonderful happenings in the outdoors,” Gibson said.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Two sides to every story Dissenting opinions concerning the accusations against Jason Casares Trial by Twitter is not justice Jason Casares, the IU associate dean of students and sitting president of the Association for Student Conduct Administration, has been put on paid administrative leave after a public accusation of sexual assault of his colleague, Jill Creighton. If this accusation is true, it is a terrible breach of professional trust and an abhorrent and brutal crime for which he should be punished and shunned. The problem is we don’t know if it’s true or not. In fact, an independent investigator hired by the ASCA found no evidence it was true, and the Texas police have not acted on her case in any way. While nothing has been confirmed, and official authorities have found no reason to charge him with a crime, Casares is out of a job, publicly vilified as a sexual criminal and forced out of the ASCA. Why did this happen? Twitter. On Feb. 3, Creighton posted her open letter to the ASCA on Twitter. She said she felt the police had ignored her and the ASCA had stonewalled her. She had nowhere else to go but the court of public opinion. This “trial by tweet” has become a growing trend in cases of sexual assault where physical evidence is nearly impossible to come by and he-said-she-said cases never make it to court. The problem with this approach is it is closer to a vigilante lynch mob than a fair criminal proceeding. It has powerful consequences for those accused, whether or not the accusations are ac-
curate. In the United States, everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and this principle is the foundation for our justice system. On social media, it is often whoever swings first wins regardless of evidence or context. Case in point: the story of Paul Nungesser. Nungesser was accused of rape last year, and his accuser Emma Sulkowicz created a brilliant social media campaign around the story by carrying her mattress around for the rest of the year in a protest. This prompted national media coverage and millions of tweets, all of which ruined Nungesser’s life. He received death threats, his friends ostracized him and he couldn’t find a job after graduation. Later, the University wasn’t able to find enough evidence to expel Nungesser, and he is now suing Sulkowicz and Columbia University on various charges. While I support everyone’s right to free speech, we, as a society, should not encourage this social media mob mentality. We should view Twitter accusations as desperate and often unfounded cries for attention. They are deliberate attempts to circumvent our legitimate justice system where everyone is assumed innocent until proven otherwise. Casares might be guilty, but he might not. Regardless of what percentage of sexual assault accusations are false, until we see evidence in a court of law he deserves the assumption of innocence. Brian Anderson
We shouldn’t have to question IU IU has a sexual assault problem. IU Bloomington’s Community Attitudes and Experiences with Sexual Assault Survey found that 17 percent of undergraduate women had experienced attempted or completed penetrative sexual assault while at IU. That’s one in six undergraduate women on this campus. In 2012, IU was fourth in the nation for forcible sexual assaults . Now, IU’s own title IX director, Jason Casares, president of the Association for Student Conduct Administration, has been accused of sexual assault of his colleague, Jill Creighton. College campuses in general have an unimpressive history of dealing with the sad reality of sexual assault. It is even more disturbing to know one of our coordinators is under investigation for the crime he is supposed to defend against. The press may never have all the necessary evidence to say what happened that night without reservation. This is often the case for sexual assault. We do know something happened that could be construed as sexual assault by the victim. We know Creighton was drinking and said she felt Casares took advantage of her. The court of law requires something it almost never gets in cases of sexual assault. It is because of that reality we must plan for the worst. It is IU’s job to make sure students can trust their administration. As a student on this campus and as a woman, I believe if someone is going to stand as a judge against sexual as-
sault, there cannot be a question of their understanding of what consent is and the destruction that results from sexual assault. If I can’t expect the person making decisions about how sexual assault is treated on this campus to be clear of suspicion, then I can’t trust the University to protect me. While there is still a question of his violence towards women, he should remain suspended from his position. This question may not have ever been brought to the attention of the campus if not for Creighton coming forward on Twitter. In many cases, victims of sexual assault feel they can’t tell their story for fear of being vilified. The media’s immediate reaction often is to doubt and blame women. No one can forget the Steubenville, Ohio, case in which commentators lamented the tragedy of the young rapists’ lives being ruined. And yet, as dangerous and fickle as the court of public opinion can be, sometimes it is the only court sexual assault victims have left to turn to. At that point, it is no longer just about justice for one crime, but frequently about preventing another, as well as adding to the exhaustingly long narrative of injustice to sexual assault victims. It doesn’t matter how the question was raised, just if it is being answered. As a student on this campus, I would rather know if I can trust the people in charge of combatting the serious sexual assault problem at IU. I would rather there be no question. Jordan Riley

IU offers many exciting ways for you to find a job in the future. With promises of marketability, you might even wonder if you’re a consumer in a business. In fact, the higher education system is commercialized to suit your interests. It’s a disservice to us. Universities run on a cult of meritocracy that values the ability of education to prepare you for a future career, literary critic William Deresiewicz said. When colleges try to attract students, they market buzzwords like “creativity” and “leadership,” as skills you can learn that will get you a job. Universities use science to justify the economic value of the humanities, philosopher Roger Scruton said. Literary studies and musicology have illegitimately appealed to psychology to show how the fields explain human evolution. As a result of these pressures, the humanities have struggled to stay relevant. We’ve merged courses from the sciences and humanities “in order to generate ‘studies’ that would appeal to the increasingly unqualified intake of students,” Scruton said. The incentive on economic productivity has caused researchers to create superfluous journals and articles all to pad their résumés. We become risk-averse and needlessly competitive. Imagine how capitalist motives affect the way students learn. “Should a teacher’s motives for introducing seventh-graders to science be that she is preparing cadres of future technicians who will be able to design bigger and better defenses against ICBMs?” asked Robert Alter, professor of Hebrew

and comparative literature at University of California, Berkeley. Alter said this purpose alienates students from learning rather than exciting them about it. The university needs to help society’s needs, but it shouldn’t be a customerservice model for economic interests. As literary theorist Terry Eagleton puts it, “You would tackle society’s needs a great deal more effectively were you to challenge this whole alienated model of learning.” Our purpose should be something more. Otherwise it’s difficult to truly enjoy learning for the sake of learning. We don’t understand how to deal with the dilemmas of tomorrow, be they moral, political or scientific. The most dangerous part is we take these beliefs for granted as though there are no alternatives. We don’t need to stop focusing on productivity entirely. But we should realize there’s more to college than just that. We need to realize classrooms are conversations for learning and growth. We need to introspectively reflect on what we’re learning to create autonomy and independence. Challenge the moneydriven power of those above you. Question the dogmatic assertions of your peers. Otherwise we’re not fighting the real poverty: the poverty of the soul. sather@indiana.edu @SHussainAther
DOWN WITH DEWITT
Celebrating Black History Month We shouldn’t celebrate Black History Month. Yes, you read that correctly, but it’s probably not for the reasons you would think. Black history is American history and should be celebrated as such throughout the school year. “Black History Month can be a wonderful celebration of the contributions that African Americans have made to American history and culture,” Learn NC Director Kathryn Walbert tells learnnc.org. “All too often, however, those contributions are heralded in February but seldom mentioned throughout the rest of the year.” Teaching about the rich history African Americans have had alongside other races would eliminate the need for us to set aside a specific month to celebrate black history. We can afford to get rid of Black History Month all together once we are able to successfully integrate black history into the curriculum year-round. This is the ultimate goal. The only way we will successfully be able to do this is by changing the perspective of history topics away from the majority group to reflect upon and understand the perspective of minority groups, such as African Americans. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of hearing about the lives of rich, old white men who founded a country on the basis of freedom — unless you were African American, Native American, female or poor. Are people going to look back 200 years from now and only remember the Donald Trumps of society? I surely hope the answer is no.
TATIANA DEWITT is a sophomore in elementary education.
We have to become more comfortable talking about topics that make us uncomfortable. In 2015, McGraw Hill was the center of controversy for this caption published in one of their textbooks: “The Atlantic Slave Trade between the 1500s and 1800s brought millions of workers from Africa to the southern United States to work on agricultural plantations.” Sugarcoating it by calling slaves “workers” isn’t helping anything; in fact it’s insulting. Additionally, it’s sad that when we look back at black history in the U.S., most people only recall names like Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks. These are not the only notable black figures in 400 years of history. When we only have one month, it’s easy to forget about many other figures, like former senator Hiram Revels, or writer and social activist Langston Hughes. If we want to have a truly diverse understanding of our country’s history, we need to teach about important figures who have shaped our history and culture, regardless of what month it is or the person’s skin pigmentation. I have a dream that one day all great historical figures will be recognized for their accomplishments and contributions to society, regardless of the color of their skin. tatadams@indiana.edu @TatianaDeWitt

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “There’s an awful lot of confidence on our sideline,” Moren said. “It’s just a few early turnovers and mistakes that are uncharacteristic.” IU responded after halftime, though, as it went on an early 9-4 run and forced Nebraska to take a timeout. The Hoosiers wouldn’t allow
the Huskers to gain any momentum, outscoring Nebraska 15-11 in the third quarter. IU didn’t allow more than 13 points in an individual quarter in the win. Cahill, with 16 points and 13 rebounds, and Buss, with 17 points and 11 rebounds, both had doubledoubles for the second consecutive game, while Gassion added 15 points in
the win. “I thought it was pretty good,” Moren said about the IU defense. “I didn’t think we could outdo the Michigan State performance, but I thought today, 40 minutes of zone was uncharacteristic of me and my staff. But we did a tremendous job.” The turnover battle, 2614, favored the Hoosiers,
and the rebounding battle, 45-41, did as well. This led to what Moren said won the game for IU: defense. “Tonight we struggled offensively,” Moren said. “Credit Nebraska for that because that’s a really good team. We relied heavily on what we were doing defensively, and as I said to the kids, that’s why we won the game.”

ON THE RISE The IU defense forced Nebraska’s Jessica Shepard to commit 11 turnovers in the Hoosiers’ fifth win in six games. IU remained a perfect 11-0 at home this season. By Teddy Bailey eebailey@indiana.edu | @TheTeddyBailey
Normally, 18 points and 13 rebounds for a freshman would be a tremendous statline. With the way Nebraska’s Jessica Shephard has been playing in her first season in Lincoln, though, IU Coach Teri Moren said she was satisfied with how the Hoosiers limited the 6-foot-4 forward. In a combined effort, junior center Jenn Anderson and sophomore forward Amanda Cahill forced Shepard to commit 11 turnovers in IU’s 59-47 victory Sunday. The win improved the Hoosiers to a perfect 11-0 at home, IU’s best start at Assembly Hall in program history. The Hoosiers are now 14-9 overall, with a 7-5 mark in Big Ten play. Sunday’s victory pushed IU into fifth place in the Big Ten standings. Entering Sunday’s game, Shepard averaged 20.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for the Huskers. The in-state product was named the nation’s third-best player on ESPN in high school. Shepard was also named to the Naismith Trophy Watch List for the country’s top 50 players. Big Ten teams have struggled to contain Shepard all season. She poured in 35 points and 20
rebounds against Michigan earlier in the year, a statline that altered Nebraska history. In half of the Huskers’ Big Ten games, Shepard has surpassed the 20-point mark to lead her team to seven wins. “She’s a great player,” Cahill said. “She’s come into the league and has had a great start. Without her, I think they’re kind of a different offensive team. A lot of credit to Jenn, I think she did a great job defensively and making it hard for Shepard.” Anderson and Cahill, the Hoosiers’ starting frontcourt choices, have faced strong opposition from a number of opponents this season. Northwestern’s Nia Coffey, along with Illinois’ Chatrice White, lead the conference in rebounding. Moren said Sunday’s limitation of Shepard frustrated the Husker forward. While others helped, Anderson provided the primary defense that forced Shepard to work for every bucket the country’s top freshman earned. “Shepard is a tremendous postplayer in this league,” Moren said. “I thought Jenn Anderson did a really great job of making her uncomfortable. She had 18, but it was a well-earned 18 because of Jenn’s
focus to keep her at bay and off-balanced. She made it difficult for her this afternoon.” Anderson, who tallied six points and six rebounds to go along with her defensive effort, has been playing with a broken finger for the majority of the Big Ten season. The junior center said the injury has simply been a nuisance for her success. “You’ve got to put that on the backburner,” Anderson said. “I’ve been playing with a broken finger for five, six weeks now. I’m just helping my teammates anyway I can to play through it.” Moren, meanwhile, said the finger injury has been a clear limitation for her stalwart center. Anderson shot just 3-of-10 from the floor against Nebraska as she struggles to find her touch inside. “Even though it’s on her nonshooting hand, Jenn is a kid that can score left or right,” Moren said. “Right now, she’s being limited because she’s really all right-handed. She doesn’t look very comfortable when she has the ball in her left hand.” In many games this season, IU has had to rely on the offensive performances of players such as Buss and Cahill. Recently, however, the Hoosiers have been able to win
games by strong defensive performances. IU shot a lowly 23-of-72, or 32 percent, from the floor against Nebraska, including converting just 2-of-16 from 3-point range. Regardless, the team’s defense compensated for a low shooting percentage. “Is it something that we need to keep continuing? Absolutely,” Moren said. “Today, we struggled offensively. There was no flow, no real momentum. It just seemed like they were hard to get easy shots on. We relied heavily on what we were doing defensively and that’s how we won the game. IU will travel to Champaign on Wednesday to face Illinois (8-15, 1-11) in hopes of securing its second Big Ten road win of the season. Meeting them there will be White, who tallied 11 points, nine rebounds and five blocks in a prior meeting. White averages 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. “There’s great post-players in this league and Jenn just happens to be one of them,” Moren said. “The knack that Jenn has is that she’s just really sound defensively. She doesn’t give in, she doesn’t get scored on that easily. She challenged every shot, which is what you want her to do.”

YouTube-famed singer mixes humor, heart By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra
When Danielle Anderson’s guitar’s batteries died onstage, she went back to playing her ukulele and set the guitar aside. Some time later, an audience member gave her batteries he had bought for her. So, Anderson proceeded to improvise a song called “Fresh Batteries.” Anderson, who goes by the stage name Danielle Ate the Sandwich, spent the rest of her time at the Pourhouse Cafe on Friday tossing in references to the audience member in the rest of her songs. Originally from Nebraska, Anderson has spent the last seven years as a touring solo folk artist. “This is a ukulele, this is a woman,” Anderson said at her Friday show. “And together, we make a living.” Anderson has opened for groups like Grace Potter and
the Nocturnals and Mumford and Sons, but she said her biggest source of publicity has been social media, starting with her YouTube videos. “Slowly but surely, they started getting views and attention from people across the world,” Anderson said. “It became the best way to get my name and my music out there because people could watch it for free and get into me and my style. It’s really been a beautiful thing.” When she tells people she has a YouTube channel, people assume she will have polished, professional videos, but that is not the case, she said. There are a few professionally made videos, but the majority of them were filmed by her in her house and start with a skit or joke of some kind, she said. “The ones that I have the most of and that got the most
attention are the simple videos that I recorded myself in my house of me just sitting on the ground and playing a song and doing something kind of silly,” Anderson said. This mixture of her songs and humor are repeated in her shows. She said between her songs, which tell personal and heartfelt stories, she will get the audience to laugh. Her music brings back memories to people, she said. It reminds them of breakups, of losing a loved one, of specific times in their lives, and it reminds them of the importance of those moments. “I think life is this complicated mixture of really hard stuff, and the only way to get through it is to have a good sense of humor and try to laugh when you can,” Anderson said. “I want to pay respect and tribute to each half of life, the funny stuff and the sad things.”
Local musicians experiment with 'trap-folk' subgenre By Katie MacDonell katmacdo@umail.iu.edu
Not all basement bands from the sixth grade make it to the Bluebird stage, but Indianapolis natives Devin Leslie and Eric Marlow have accomplished just that. Leslie said he and Marlow have produced music together since middle school, through high school and into their early twenties. Originally they played drums and bass together, but Marlow has since taken on the art of recording while Leslie sings, writes songs and plays guitar. After making local rounds to the Bishop, the Players Pub and Serendipity Martini Bar in recent months, Leslie will return at 9 p.m. Tuesday to the Bluebird to perform in the Bloomington Battle of the Bands quarterfinal round. Although Marlow has given up the performing element, he still accompanies Leslie to shows to get a feel for the songs in a realistic sense, he said. Everything the pair has done, from debuting their first album last March to touring with their band across the Midwest, has been
independent work. The duo doesn’t have a label, contract or agent. “It’s a lot when you’re doing it independent, booking it all and getting there and everything,” Leslie said. After months of songwriting and hours in a local studio, Leslie said the co-producing duo is eager to share their newest work. “The album we’re working on is called ‘Love Like This,’” he said. “It’s a modern day explanation of love and what it means to love this generation from my perspective.” Leslie, who has been composing music since the age of 12, said he goes through long periods of writing where the music, lyrics and inspiration come to him all at once. He and Marlow then work together to accomplish the vision of the song in its recording. “For this project we are currently working on, the process has been different,” Marlow said. “Devin has been playing shows more often and has been rehearsing heavily with the band. He typically provides me with the instrumentation and I choose when, where and
DEVIN LESLIE 9 p.m. Tuesday, the Bluebird how those instruments work together.” Leslie said he is introducing a new genre on this album called trap-folk, which takes rhythms based on trap music and blends them with traditional folk songwriting. “The larger than life sound that you hear on modern music comes from copious layering and doubling,” Marlow said. “This makes the recording sound very full and rich and more pleasing to the ear.” This new sound is incorporated into the single titled “Come and Stay,” which will be released later this month, Leslie said. “‘Come and Stay’ has a little more of that pop flare that listeners are used to,” Marlow said. “But not all of the songs from this new project are that way.” Fans of the first album, “Indianapolis,” should not expect the same Americana sound they heard last year, Leslie said. “I’m excited for people to hear what we’re about to release.”
In Light Film Festival announces lineup From IDS reports
The In Light Film Festival, which began in 2015 as the project of IU students and faculty members, has announced the lineup for its second year. The lineup includes seven documentary films, all of which were released in the past two years and all of which concern human rights. The festival will take place March 4-6, with the
March 4 showings at the IU Cinema and all other showings in the Fine Arts building. Matthew Heineman’s Academy Award-nominated film “Cartel Land,” about vigilantes fighting drug cartels on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, will open the festival. Other films include “Je Suis Charlie,” about the 2015 terrorist attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo; “The Russian
Woodpecker,” about a Ukrainian artist obsessed with the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster; and “Thank You For Playing,” about an indie video game developer who created a game to document his experiences dealing with his young son’s terminal cancer diagnosis. More information is available at cinema.indiana.edu. Jack Evans
Having written his doctoral dissertation in the grammar of the Pawnee language and studied eight different American Indian languages, IU anthropology professor Douglas Parks said he has dedicated his life to documenting American Indian linguistics and cultures. Parks, the co-founder of the American Indian Studies Research Institute, was recently flown to Hollywood to help make the dialogue of two American Indian languages, P a w n e e Douglas and Arika- Parks ra, in director Alejandro Iñárritu’s Leonardo DiCaprio-starring film “The Revenant” as accurate as possible. The two languages were historically spoken in what is now Nebraska and the Dakotas. The film is set in the northern plains in the early 19th century, and its characters include fur trappers and people from indigenous Arikara and Pawnee tribes. Parks said he was not surprised to receive a phone call asking for his help, since he is one of the few scholars in both Pawnee and Arikara. “Well, it was very simple,” he said. “One day the phone rang, and it was a
woman who works for the studio. She told me that they had had several people try to do translations for them, but they weren’t able to do what was needed.” Most of his work on “The Revenant” involved translating dialogue, Parks said. Parks worked on syncing mouth movements with accurate dialogue in the post-production process while in Los Angeles, he said. Although he was only working on the film for four days, he said it wore him out. “You get pooped out, to be quite honest,” he said. “When I was out there, you start early morning, and then you go until the end of the afternoon.” A few weeks later, Parks said he received another call from the studio asking him to fly out for a couple weeks to work with the actors. Because he was unable to commit, Parks said he sent a student of his, Logan Sutton. Like Parks, Sutton has studied Pawnee and Arikara extensively, which made him the perfect choice to work with the actors, Parks said. “The Revenant,” which is nominated for 12 Academy Awards, is different from other films portraying American Indians due to its emphasis on accuracy, Parks said. He said the driving force behind that emphasis on accuracy came from
Iñárritu. “The movie is so successful, and it’s taking so many awards that it can’t help but catch the attention of people in the movie business and make them think about, ‘Well, if we portray an Indian tribe, shouldn’t we perhaps have authentic speech if we’re going to use it?,’” Parks said. Parks said previous films like Kevin Costner’s “Dances With Wolves” and Elliot Silverstein’s “A Man Called Horse” are offensive, because the Pawnee and Arikara characters in the films were speaking gibberish. Because there is such a small population of speakers of American Indian languages and because there often isn’t a written language, Parks said sensitivity to the languages is often disregarded in the film industry. “You know, somebody doing a film that needs Spanish spoken in it, they wouldn’t think of doing nonsense,” he said. “Too many people in the public would recognize that and be offended by it.” Due to the film’s success, Parks said he is hopeful “The Revenant” will be groundbreaking in the way American Indian cultures are represented in future films. “The recognition that they’re as legitimate as any other language, to me, is very important,” he said. “Instead, too many people write off Indian languages as irrelevant.”

IU’s win streak ends at four By Lionel Lim lalimwei@indiana.edu
IU’s four-match win streak ended Sunday when it lost 5-2 at Notre Dame. The loss came after two wins Friday at home against Ball State and Washington. Notre Dame took the doubles point when the teams of Eddy Covalschi and Alex Lawson, and Grayson Broadus and Quentin Monaghan beat IU pairs, seniors Samuel Monnette and Daniel Bednarczyk, and senior Chris Essick and junior Stefan Lugonjic. IU freshmen Antonio Cembellin and Afonso Salgado won their singles matches to put two points on the board for the Hoosiers. However, sophomore Raheel Manji, Bednarczyk and junior Matthew McCoy failed to win their respective matches and earn points for IU. No. 27 Monette’s run of six consecutive wins in singles matches was also brought to an end when he lost to No. 37 Monaghan 6-1, 6-1. The loss was the first since the spring season’s opening weekend. On Friday, the Hoosiers beat Ball State 4-0 in the afternoon before beating Washington 5-2 in the evening. The Huskies, who lost to the Hoosiers 4-3 at Washington last season, gave the Hoosiers a run for their money at the IU Tennis Center. “It was a very tough

match and that is what we were expecting,” IU Coach Jeremy Wurtzman said. “They are a tough team and we were able to grit out a win, which shows a lot of character in our team.” This character was evident in the score line. McCoy, Manji and Salgado dropped a set against Washington but were still able to win their respective matches. Emotions were running high for McCoy, and he lost a point due to his over-exuberance in contesting a decision in the last set.

“It was a pretty tough match for me because, first of all, we really wanted to get a good team win because our goal is to get into the NCAA tournament,” McCoy said. “I played that guy last year and lost in straight sets, and I really wanted to turn it this time.” The Hoosiers got the doubles points against Washington before Monette gave the Hoosiers a 2-0 lead. Sebastian Hawken got a point for the Huskies when he beat Cembellin 6-3, 1-6, 6-3. Salgado then helped the Hoosiers to a 3-1 lead up

The two teams then played out their remaining matches and Bednarczyk lost to Jake Douglas 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 and Manji beat Enzo Sommer 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. “What we are striving for is to never give in and if we get down sets to not panic and compete and fight back,” Wurtzman said. “It’s great that it showed in our results today.”

The No. 16 Hoosiers find themselves at 3-5 in conference play after dropping two matches this weekend against No. 2 Iowa and No. 24 Purdue. IU fell to Iowa, 45-0, Friday before coming up short against No. 24 Purdue, 18-14. Despite the losses, IU Coach Duane Goldman said he knows what the future can hold for this group. “Hope,” Goldman said. “We had guys out there really close that can make the adjustments. With guys that are going to be back with several years left, I think the idea that we have a young group of guys that are competing well, they just need to mature and get a little bit better. There is that hope of what lays ahead.” Nationally ranked Hoosiers No. 19 Elijah Oliver and No. 11 Nate Jackson picked up major-decision wins against Purdue on Sunday. Oliver defeated Luke Schroeder 19-8 in convincing fashion, picking up nine takedowns and adding a bonus point for having more than a minute of riding time. The freshman now finds himself 25-6 on the year and 5-3 in the Big Ten. Junior Nate Jackson won 15-4 after losing three in a row. Goldman said he knew this was a vital match for Jackson so he could get his arm raised a 7 — One domestic phase closes as another begins under this New Moon.

once again. “It was an important match. He’s struggled a little bit lately,” Goldman said. “He has had very tough opponents. Most of them were matches he could win. Most were close, but he didn’t come out the victor.” Also finding the winners column was sophomore Jake Masengale. His match went to extra time tied at four. Halfway through the extra period, he found his takedown and won the match for his third Big Ten win of the year. Senior Garrett Goldman improved to 4-2 in the Big Ten by defeating Tyler Kral 3-2. The senior got an escape point early in the third period, managed to hold his own for the final minute and a half, and secured the victory. “It’s always a fun one to win,” Goldman said. “Purdue is our big rival, and they’ve gotten the better of us as far as team scores go the past couple years, but we’re coming up and getting there.” The Hoosiers will look to finish the Big Ten season strongly when IU plays host to No. 12 Rutgers next Friday on the teams’ senior night. “It’s cool that it’s senior night, but I feel like that’s something more to think about later,” Goldman said. “As far as the match goes, it’s just another match, and no matter what night it is, we all have to perform and do our best.”

Penn State stuns IU 68-63 By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94
Before what might be the biggest stretch of the season, IU stumbled. After a road win against Michigan and before two games against No. 5 Iowa and No. 10 Michigan State, IU had a road game against a Penn State team with only two Big Ten wins before Saturday. However, ahead of this stretch, IU lost 68-63 in State College, Pennsylvania, while shooting 33 percent from the field. “We never overlook any game because in the Big Ten anybody can beat anybody,” senior guard Yogi Ferrell said. “But we didn’t come out in this game with the same mentality that we’ve had in the past couple months.” It was a game where IU turned the ball over eight times in the first seven minutes. The Hoosiers finished with 11 turnovers in the first half and 15 for the game. It was a game where Ferrell shot 3-of-12 from the field and turned the ball over five times. He also shot only 1-of-6 from behind the arc. Junior forward Troy Williams didn’t start the second half and only played three seconds in the final 2:57 of the game. Scoring a game-high 24 points on 10-of-20 shooting, Brandon Taylor led the way for Penn State. He also made four of his nine 3-point attempts. “I’m not sure why we didn’t get out there after he hit all those threes in the left corner,” Ferrell said. “We basically just let him get easy catches, and it all started in the first half.” IU’s leading scorer was senior guard Nick Zeisloft, who scored 14 points. He made half of IU’s 3-pointers in the first half, part of IU’s 6-of-12 perfor-

mance from behind the arc in the half. The Hoosiers continued to shoot from deep in the second half, but they weren’t making the shots. They shot 3-of-15 from behind the arc and only attempted eight field goals from inside the arc. These shooting decisions continued even when IU got into the bonus with more than 12 minutes left in the half. More than once, freshman center Thomas Bryant was ignored in the post. But when IU needed a scorer down the stretch, they turned to Bryant inside. He scored six of IU’s last eight points. He only finished with 10 points in the loss because he didn’t get the ball in the post a lot. He finished 3-of-4 from
the field and 4-of-5 from the line. With about eight minutes left in the game, Bryant looked fed up. He had posted his man, but he didn’t get the ball. Bryant stomped his feet and yelled, upset he had gained position once again and not received the ball. “We have to do a better job of getting him the ball, and he has to do a better job of escaping the contact,” Crean said. For three straight possessions with less than a minute and a half left, IU went to Bryant. The first time, he finished through contact and made the free throw to tie the game. The second time he was fouled and made both free throws to bring IU within one point.
He was hit on the third and final possession as well and drew a whistle for the third straight time. But this time the whistle wasn’t for a foul. The whistle was for a travel a step or two before the potential foul. IU didn’t score for the rest of the game, and Penn State closed the game out by shooting 4-of-6 from the free throw line. Crean had a hard time pinpointing why IU lost. The Hoosiers had won four conference road games before this. He said his team had a great week of preparation, so he wasn’t sure why the focus wasn’t there in a Big Ten game. He did find one word to describe IU’s loss, however. “Ridiculous.”
Loss to Penn State hurts more because of upcoming final stretch The given was not such a given. The excitement pouring out of Bloomington quickly switched to hot takes and defeatism. Four days removed from dominating Michigan on the road and earning the respect it’s been craving, IU traveled to Penn State and lost 68-63 in a truly ugly display of basketball from both sides. It was not a good loss. Nobody is going to claim it is. But losing a Big Ten game on the road isn’t an indication that all is lost. Yet there is a larger reason why this loss hurts. It’s time to buckle up, IU fans. IU might lose three straight basketball games. It plays Iowa on Thursday and Michigan State on Feb. 14. After dominating the early Big Ten season and putting itself in good position to recover from some losses against the toughest of the Big Ten to end the season, IU lost one of the easy ones in that stretch. The Hoosiers are entering a stretch where every loss matters, and it lost to a team whose only Big Ten wins before were against Minnesota and Northwestern. In a vacuum, it isn’t that bad of a loss. Purdue lost to Illinois. Michigan State lost to Nebraska at home. These losses happen. It’s just the timing that makes it so difficult. IU absolutely needs to steal one of the next two games now. IU was a team clamoring for impressive wins before. Now, the résumé has another loss to an unimpressive opponent. It has four losses to teams KenPom.com has ranked No. 50 or worse. The big picture issues from this loss don’t stem simply from the things that went wrong in the game.

What was more concerning was the way IU failed to compensate for senior guard Yogi Ferrell on his rare off night. Ferrell has had about two bad games all season. In those two games, IU struggled as a whole. Others haven’t stepped up like one would hope. In those two games, IU barely squeaked by an awful Minnesota team at home and lost to Penn State. A guy like Ferrell, who is playing on a different level this season, should be able to have an occasional off night and not have to worry about his team failing to take over against a team like Penn State. Junior forward Troy Williams was on the bench during crunch time Saturday night. He also didn’t start the second half. Is IU Coach Tom Crean starting to experiment with a bigger role for freshman forward OG Anunoby? Anunoby plays efficiently, and he can lock people down. He is already becoming what people hoped Williams would be. It feels like more of a team with him on the floor. I’m interested to see if this experimentation increases. In the end, I don’t think losing a game like this is so awful. It happens. They played poorly for a night and struggled. What matters now is how they respond. “I’ve praised our leadership for two-plus months and rightfully so,” Crean said. “I’m not feeling that way tonight.” Brody Miller
