On Wednesday, Indiana State University’s Cunningham Memorial Library hosted a reception celebrating staff, faculty and students who have published creative or performed material. While those who were being honored at the 29th annual “Authors and Artists” may come from diverse backgrounds, they agreed their achievements wouldn’t be possible without the power of words. “I was thinking about something my mother taught to me in first grade,” said Provost Richard “Biff ” Williams. “I wanted to go hiking and biking and play with my friends. And I remember a specific time she said, ‘If you learn to read, you can do anything in this world.’” Williams, who opened the ceremony, learned about topics ranging from culture to changing a bike tire to “dealing with his teenagers” through reading. Over time, he said he’s grown to deeply respect the writers behind those books. “I have such a great appreciation for the authors today that have taken their time and their effort to create works that we can learn from,” Williams said. Jack Turman, dean of nursing, health and human services, was the keynote speaker at the event. He shared one of

Cost of winter at ISU: To be determined SETH YATES Contributor Winter costs are piling up for Indiana State University, as the season drags on students and faculty face daily difficulties and hazards. James Jensen, director of Facilities Management, Operations and Maintenance said that this year the university has hired more temporary workers to assist with keeping the campus operational. “We have had busy winters since I went here myself,” he said. “But I have never once seen a winter with this heavy of snowfall combined Winter at ISU continues to pose a problem with such frigid temperatures.” (ISU Communications and Marketing photo).
Student Government Association Senator Katie Patterson, a junior work management major, said she has had difficulties operating her wheelchair across campus. “I have had to miss classes because I couldn’t get to the building,” she said. “They seem to put salt down right in front of the buildings but they sometimes forget the sidewalks and ramps, for other students and faculty that use wheelchairs it’s almost impossible.” Patterson also said her service dog has trouble navigating through the salt. “When he steps in salt he slows down CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

because it hurts, if he steps on ice or snow his paws start burning,” she said. Massive piles of plowed snow have also impeded Patterson’s access to handicapped parking, she said. “A few weeks ago my grandfather passed and I had to go to a funeral in Indy; my car got blocked in,” Patterson said. In addition to the walkways and parking lots, Jensen said the severe cold causes issues with plumbing and fire safety systems, resulting in water damage to building interiors. He also said the custodial staff has been busy cleaning up the messes caused salt and melting ice and snow. “You get waterlines that freeze and break, our cooling coils with our air handling systems in buildings that have frozen solid, all those issues have to be repaired very quickly,” Jensen said. “We also use a contractor for snow removal, and we are keeping them very busy this year.”
Indiana State University’s priority date for filing for financial aid is Saturday. The Office of Student Financial Aid will make estimated offers beginning in late March. Incoming freshmen will be mailed a paper letter. All other students will be contacted via email, and estimated awards will be posted in the MyISU Portal. Additionally, students who are interested in student or parent loans must submit an application. Applications for 2014-2015 are available now and will be processed starting July 1. First-time borrowers also have to submit signatures online. For assistance filing the FAFSA, contact ISU’s Office of Student Financial Aid located in Tirey Hall, Room 150. For additional information about financial aid, visit www.indstate.edu/ finaid .
The snowstorms that have pummeled the university have also raised some questions of funding. Vice President for Business Affairs and Finance Diann McKee said the weather causes a strain on the budget. “The state does not fund snow removals for the university, instead all of that money comes from parking permits,” McKee said. “Unfortunately, this year that money will be flowing out more than usual.” Permit proceeds are also used for striping, resealing and repaving surfaces in campus lots, McKee said. Though the official costs of this winter have not been tabulated, the costs are rising with each snowflake and temperature drop. “While it is still too early to tell, the cost of snow removal could impact some parking lot maintenance over the summer,” McKee said. “Again, we will not know until all costs are totaled.”

Employment opportunties and resources offered at Veterans Expo
The Fourth Annual Terre Haute Veterans Expo will be held on Saturday, March 1 at Stark Industries, located at Hulman Airport in Terre Haute, Indiana. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development Veterans Employment Services Program and the Indiana Air National Guard 181st Intelligence Wing Family Readiness Program, in conjunction with Congressman Larry Bucshon, will sponsor the event. The event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Veterans Expo will bring a mix of employers, agencies and community resources together to provide information and assistance to military veterans and their families. There are many programs designed to assist returning veterans, but information about those initiatives is often scattered and hard to find. The goal of the Terre Haute Veterans Expo is to provide a forum where military veterans can gather and discover resources and information that will assist them in every aspect of their lives.
The Veterans Expo will host an employment fair, where attendees can discuss job opportunities with representatives from military-friendly companies. Local Human Resource professionals will be available to provide assistance with resumes and interview skills. Representatives from area colleges and universities will be on hand to discuss training and education programs, and a diverse group of Federal, State and Community agencies will offer a wealth of information and resources available to help military veterans and their families. Last year’s event was held at the VFW Post 972 in Terre Haute. More than 100 individuals representing at least 60 exhibitors provided information about a wide variety of resources and employment opportunities available to improve the lives of veterans and military families in the Wabash Valley. Around 250 veterans, family members and friends attended the event. This Expo afforded many opportunities to strengthen relationships between

participating organizations and veterans. Appropriate resources for veterans available in our local community are found more quickly and efficiently by our military members and their families. Last year’s Veterans Expo was vigorously promoted by local radio and TV stations, which aired coverage of the event in their evening news broadcasts. Numerous stories highlighting the Expo appeared in the Tribune-Star and other
local newspapers, extending awareness of veterans’ issues and multiplying the event’s positive impact on the community. The intent of the Veterans Expo is to honor and thank veterans for their service and to extend them opportunities. This is the main focus of the event, but the public is invited to come for a visit or spend the entire day. Area veterans and military members are also welcomed. Indiana Statesman staff report

Business professor outlines management practices Betsy Simon
ISU Communications and Marketing A strong dollar backed by the gold standard and perceived to be “as good as gold” has boosted America’s credibility with trading partners worldwide and facilitated rich exchanges of goods and services that allow the U.S. economy to grow and prosper. But when the currency is employees in the workplace, supervisors and managers should be wary of fool’s gold in the form of ineffective, unmotivated workers. That’s the advice from Max Douglas, professor emeritus of management in Indiana State University’s Scott College of Business, in his article, “The Currency of Effective Supervision.” “My life has been about teaching leadership, management, small business, entrepreneurship and business ethics at Indiana State. ISU has been my home,” said Douglas, who is in his 45th year at the university. “Based on the consulting work I’ve done and prior research,

research on topics such as eustress (healthful stress), workplace ethics, case research, servant leadership and classroom teaching methods. Though he completed a three-year phased retirement last year, Douglas continues working out of his second floor office in Federal Hall, while doing what he knows best in the classroom - educating students on how to be effective managers and leaders. As they enter the work world, students will find that more than half of fulltime American workers feel “uninspired and disconnected,” from their work and employer. Douglas hopes that he can teach students to develop a strong leadership currency so that they can eradicate employee apathy and build a partnership based on collaboration and commitment.

reprimand, a supervisor should give 10 positive affirmations. Too often, he said supervisors follow the principle of scarcity when distributing praise and accolades to their direct reports, seldom using positive reinforcement but frequently handing out reprimands. “Even though the use of punitive measures still supersedes the use of praise and affirmation in the workplace, there are employers, like Google who follow the principle of affluence thinking of ways to create positive workplace emotions, like hope, optimism and satisfaction,” Douglas said. Another example offered by Douglas was Sam Walton’s use of management by walking around. “When Mr. Walton visited Walmart stores he always tried to find employees who were doing things right and affirm their actions.

Television actor let go due to famous doppelganger A little over a week ago, Mohamen Mohdi Oazanni was actually cut from his role as the infamous fallen angel of the Christian story, Satan of the Bible. Oazanni was not stripped of his role for a racial slur in public context like Opinions Paula Deen, nor was he Editor denied his time on the big screen adaptation of the epic miniseries “The Bible” for what can only be assumed was snorting cocaine through a firehouse like Charlie Sheen did. Instead, the officials didn’t want to deal with the drama that would come after his original debut on the History Channel. You see, when Oazanni first made a public appearance in “The Bible,” rightwing commentator and radio-host Glenn Beck first made the association when he
Sam Clark
said on his Twitter feed, “Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible Sunday on History Channel looks exactly like That Guy?” The “Guy” that Beck was referencing was President Barack Obama. Immediately following Beck’s tweet and the episode’s airing, a side-by-side of Obama and Oazanni went viral as people came out of the woodwork to poke fun at the casting “fiasco.” Roma Downey, the co-producer for “Son of God,” — official title for the silver screen adaptation of “The Bible” — commented following the event, saying “The next day, when I was sure everyone would only be talking about Jesus, they were talking about Satan instead.” Downey was extremely displeased with the Satan character’s reception, and while she wasn’t necessarily griping against the focus on evil, her artistic vision was ultimately harmed. Ozanni’s resemblance to Obama following a 40-year trek through the desert is not the only reason for his
dismissal. The cast and crew also had the painful task of turning a 10-hour miniseries worth of story into a twohour movie. So not all the blame gets put on producers wanting to avoid a massive public relations migraine. The dilemma is that producers are so worried about the scandal that it was a major piece in their play. I’m sorry, but who really cares about a 20-minute Twitter scandal? Welcome to the entertainment industry, kids — the only place where there’s more hassle than politics. Oazanni isn’t even the first actor to catch flack for a resemblance to an American president. At the beginning of season two of the radically famous HBO series “Game of Thrones,” the head of the Stark family, Ned Stark, is impaled on a pike outside of the castle. Massive social media uproar took the nation by storm when people began to cry havoc as they claimed the severed head of Stark was a direct reference to
president George W. Bush. Pardon me while I giggle. Maybe I’m just not that familiar with the expresident’s facial profile, but trust me when I say there was no comparison. Even the show’s creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, made a public apology, only to turn around on the DVD commentary and swear up and down that it was unintentional and that the head was only a prop. No matter how you’re viewing this, it’s just ridiculous. Scandals have been ruining entertainment since the dawn of time. But why on Earth is this an issue? It seems to me that the political correctness is getting in the way of the artistic freedom. Let them talk. Trying to stop people from laughing or raging at some figure in the entertainment industry is like trying to use your finger to plug a crack in the Hoover Dam. Be grateful that people are talking. After all, no press is bad press, right?
Unions challenge local authorities on representation Labor unions have taken it upon themselves to organize workers, represent union-based interests and prevent companies from taking advantage of workers. But recently, employees at the Chattanooga Volkswagen plant are not buying into that Political message. Columnist On Feb. 14, employees at the Chattanooga plant voted to not be represented by the United Auto Workers Union, which has
Julian Winborn
made that plant the only VW plant in the world that does not have a formal labor organization for its employees, and VW is not very happy about it. Bernd Osterloh, head of VW’s works council, stated that the company will hesitate to establish another Volkswagen factory if the workers refuse to organize in a union, and further growth of the plant will be stunted. Volkswagen, a German corporation, is not adverse to unions at all — Germany being a highly unionized country. Company executives did not try to directly influence workers to vote against representation. The person who has waged a serious campaign against
unionization at the plant is Tennessee Senator Bob Corker. Senator Corker claimed that after having “conversations” with the Volkswagen executives, he is “assured” that the company will begin to manufacture a new SUV. According to Dave Jameison at the Huffington Post, workers interpreted that message as “vote for representation by United Auto Workers and the plant will suffer.” However, Volkswagen executives vehemently denied Corker’s claim. The National Labor Relations Board is responsible for overseeing the enforcement of labor law for unions and employers, and requires that workers should not be influenced when deciding
if they would like representation. Despite this, outside pressure has certainly thwarted the rules of NLRB. According to “The Nation,” Matt Patterson led the charge against unionization at the plant, though Volkswagen and the United Auto Workers Union both agreed to labor representation. Patterson wrote a proposal to large donors that detailed his plan to slow the momentum of labor unions in the south, and plans on utilizing the Tea Party and media attacks for his benefit.

And Patterson did follow through on his promise to utilize media attacks: he went on to write a column for the Competitive Enterprise Institute on Civil War sentiments. Patterson wrote that the push for unions is like the “bloodiest days of the entire Civil War.” Patterson speaks on how the Confederate Army of Tennessee fought against the Union, and today Tennessee must fight against “another union,” and unfortunately that column was successful at dividing workers at the plant over unionization. Patterson and Corker are not alone in fighting unionization. Osterloh has blamed an onslaught by Conservatives for turning workers against the union and
therefor hurting themselves by stunting the growth of the company. Effects of this division still remains to be seen. This current movement against unionization in the South is incredibly concerning because employers are working hard to reduce the bargaining power of workers and showcases reactionary ideology. Even in a case where Volkswagen wanted the union and made clear that unionization would not hurt the company, southern conservatives still reacted violently to it. Hopefully the decision by the Chattanooga workers will not come back to hurt them, but their vote has only Chattanooga Volkswagen plant workers’ decision to forego unionization has stirred debate between union leaders and legislators about future of labor unions (Statesman file photo). electrified the anti-union movement.

Take time to realize a little ‘R and R’ can go a long way
You can’t have work without play. To ensure good work performance, one needs to take a break every once in a while. Remember in grade school, where recess was scheduled at just the right time, seeing as how you were watching the class’s pet iguana instead of to the teacher? Columnist listening But when you got back to class you were able to focus again. The same principle applies here. To be a good student or employee, we need the time off in order to rejuvenate and refocus on our studies. An equilibrium between work and play leads to a balanced life so that you can relieve stress and then feel reenergized to go back to school or work.

It’s election time Adler Ingalsbe Reporter The Student Government Association’s polls open for election on March 25 and 26. Every academic year a new administration of the Student Government Association is elected. Numerous positions become available, but the first two spots that are filled are the president and vice president. Logan Valentine, the current president of SGA said after the top officers are elected, they choose students to make up the rest of their cabinet. “The president and vice president hire an executive cabinet that consists of 15-17 members. President and vice present can also be hired depending on the time of year,” he said. Some of the 15 to 17 members who make up the rest of the cabinet consist of: The Director of Sycamore Pride and Traditions, Director of Campus Life, Director of Public Relations, Chief of Staff, Director of Finance, Director of Governmental Affairs, Director of Academic Affairs, Director of Leadership and three open Executive Assistant positions. Bart Stucker, Director of Campus Life said these positions are very important to the Executive Board and students can apply to run for them through Indiana State’s Treehouse website. “These positions are extremely important and help make up the Executive Board. Applicants can apply for the Executive Board positions on the Applicant Tracking System and the Treehouse, he said. Once applications are received the newly-elected President and Vice President will narrow down the applicants and ask them to come in front of the SGA Senate to be voted
upon.” According to the Constitution of Indiana State University’s Student Government Association, “membership in this organization shall consist of all enrolled students of the University, without respect to undergraduate, graduate, or non-degree seeking status. Anyone duly enrolled for the fall semester of the same calendar year shall be considered a member of the SGA for the preceding summer term as of the point of registration.” Stucker also said students can become a part of SGA in numerous ways. “[Apply] to be a member of the Executive Board, SGA Senate, Senate Famuli, a non-voting committee member of Senate, and The Forest, the student pride section of Indiana State University,” he said. In order to run for one of the positions listed above, students don’t necessarily have to be a member of the association. Stucker emphasized that experience in SGA is not a requirement, but rather a recommendation. “Candidates do not have to be members of SGA before running for the various leadership positions, however it does help to have some experience in student government beforehand,” he said. Students who are wanting to run for President and Vice President must come to the call-out meetings to run for those positions with the final call out meeting taking place Tuesday, Feb. 25 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in Hulman Memorial Student Union. All other individuals interested in running for the executive board must apply online.

Indiana State Student Success Spotlight Alison Fidler
Special to the Indiana Statesman The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Most people don’t see college as a place to follow your dream, but a place to party and make new friends. I saw college as an opportunity to follow the dream that I have had since I was a young child, becoming a female civil engineer and breaking the mold of a highly maledominated field. Growing up, everyone including my parents could not see, as a female, why I wanted to become an engineer. Needless to say, this drove my motivation through the roof, making me want nothing more than to prove them wrong. Here I am today, halfway through my second semester as an engineering student, eager for what lies ahead. I won’t lie, walking into a class full of only males students can truly be one of the most intimidating experiences that I will have in my college career.
I absolutely love my major and I am extremely excited to start my career, meaning that I wouldn’t trade that room full of guys for anything. One other piece of advice for upcoming freshman would be to never give up and never drop out. Everything that could possibly go wrong this semester has indeed happened. Anything from battling kidney stones, to having a close family member pass away, to ultimately getting kicked out of your house and living in Illinois. It has all happened to me, and it is only driving me to succeed. Needless to say, none of these things stopped me from going to class, they only drove my motivation to the max. The only way that I can make a future for myself is to finish college, which for myself would mean that I would be the first in my family to get a college degree. All our dreams can come true as long as we have the courage to pursue them.

Basketball returns for a final home stand Alex Modesitt Sports Editor With the regular season winding down, there are very few opportunities left to see the Indiana State men’s and women’s basketball teams play in the Hulman Center. In fact, this weekend will be the last time both Sycamore teams will be in the Hulman Center this season. The women’s team will host games on Friday and Sunday, while the men host their game on Saturday. The first of the women’s games will take place on Friday night when they play host to the Ramblers of Loyola University. The Sycamores are coming off a successful road trip, beating both Missouri State and Wichita State in a three-day span. Junior forward Jasmine Grier led the charge for the Sycamores in their 63-51 win over the Shockers. Grier scored 22 points in 32 minutes of action and also pulled down five rebounds. Senior guard Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir recorded a doubledouble accumulating 12 points and 11 assists. The Lady Sycamores found their stroke from the field, connecting on 53.2 percent of their field goal attempts versus Wichita State. Indiana State turned the ball over 23 times, but more importantly, limited the Shockers to just 12 points off of those turnovers. The Lady Sycamores come in to the contest with Loyola touting a 15-10 record overall and currently sit in third place in the Missouri Valley Conference. Loyola will bring with them a 9-17 overall record and the third worst record in the conference. The last time Indiana State and Loyola met on Sunday, Feb. 02, Loyola protected their home court with a 71-58 victory. Indiana State will have to shoot much better than it did the last time these two teams met if they hope to come away victorious. The Lady Sycamores shot a lowly 26.9 percent and couldn’t seem to get into a groove offensively.

Abdul-Qaadir scored a career-high 32 points in the game but got little help from her supporting cast. Junior forward Chelsea Small was the only other Sycamore in double-digits with 12 points. Indiana State couldn’t slow down the Ramblers, allowing Loyola to shoot an absurd 54.9 percent form the field and 5-9 from behind the arc. The Sycamores will have to slow down Troy Hambric, after allowing her to go off for 30 points in their
last contest. Tip is set for 7:05 p.m. in the Hulman Center. The men’s team comes into Saturday looking to fine tune their play heading into the Conference tournament next weekend. The Sycamores will do battle with the Panthers of Northern Iowa during their final home game of the season. Continued on PAGE 13

Indiana State limps into their Saturday matchup still nursing their loss at the hands of Illinois State on Wednesday. The Redbirds dominated the Sycamores 7759 and only allowed senior guard Dawon Cummings to score in double figures. The Sycamores come into the game with the second best record in the Missouri Valley Conference and have assured themselves the second seed in the upcoming tournament. The Cougars have been very average this season, coming in with a 14-14 record overall and an 8-8 conference record. The Sycamores and Cougars previously met on Feb. 1, with the Sycamores stealing an 87-81 victory on Northern Iowa’s home floor. The Sycamores allowed the Cougars to shoot 49.1 percent but capitalized on Northern Iowa mistakes by scoring 15 points off of turnovers. The Sycamores committed nine turnovers themselves, but held the Cougars to just six points off those turnovers. All five Sycamore starters scored in double digits, led by sophomore guard Khristian Smith who scored 18 points and pulled down a game high 13 rebounds. Indiana State will need to put the clamps
on Deon Mitchell of the Cougars, as he torched the Sycamores for 21 points the last time the two teams met. The game on Saturday will be the last time the Sycamore seniors will play in front of the home crowd at the Hulman Center. Tip is set for 1:00 p.m. The women’s team finishes off the weekend by playing host to the Bradley Braves. The Lady Sycamores come in on just a short day’s rest and will hope to replicate their 80-67 win over Bradley. Junior forward Racheal Mahan led the way for the Sycamores last time out against Bradley with 23 points. Mahan went 10-11 from the field, converting on 90.9 percent of her attempts. Seniors Anna Munn and Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir and junior forward Chelsea Small rounded out the Sycamore scoring, with each topping 10 points in the game. Taylor Schippers led the charge for the Braves, scoring 15 points in 17 minutes. Haley Howard and Aly Spinas-Valainis will both be due great attention, as they both racked up over 10 points in their last meeting. This is the final home game for the Lady Sycamores this season. Tip is set for 2:05 p.m. in the Hulman Center.

Men fall in final road contest to Illinois State
Ace Hunt ISU Athletic Media Relations
Indiana State will finish the regular season with nine road victories, including five in Missouri Valley Conference play, which is second-best in the league. The Sycamores could not parlay that season-long road success in its final road game as Illinois State earned a 77-59 victory in front of 4,684 fans inside Redbird Arena. The Sycamores fell to 21-8, 12-5 MVC while Illinois State improved to 16-13, 9-8 MVC. It marked the first time all season that Indiana State has dropped consecutive games. Cummings paced Indiana State with 12 points while Jake Odum and Khristian Smith added nine each. Illinois State hit each of their first six shots from the field -- including a trio of threepointers -- but only led 11-6 just over two minutes into the game as the Sycamores countered by scoring on three consecutive possessions. A Khristian Smith jumper at the 13:59 mark trimmed the Illinois State cushion down to 20-12, but the Redbirds answered with nine in a row stretching the lead to 29-12. Cummings hit a jumper to stop the bleeding, but the Redbirds continued the spurt by scoring five more and led 34-14 with nine minutes remaining. The Sycamore defense limited Illinois State to just eight points over the final nine minutes and scored four of the final five points of the half as Illinois State owned a 42-26 lead after
the break. Indiana State had an open look at the halftime buzzer from three, but was just off. Khristian Smith paced the Sycamores with six points in the first half. Indiana State started the second half strong with a steal and fastbreak lay-up from Smith which cut the Illinois State advantage down to 42-28. The Redbirds countered with five in a row before Cummings hit a trey with 18:24 left on the clock and the ‘Birds owned a 47-31 lead. Jake Odum went on a personal 4-0 run with a jumper and pair of free throws to cut the lead down to 53-37 at the 14:51 mark. Gant broke a three minute scoreless stretch with a jumper in the paint as the clock ticked under 12 minutes remaining to get within 58-39. Arop and Eitel sandwiched three-pointers around a Dawon Cummings free throw to create a 7-0 run which cut the Redbird cushion down to 61-46 with just over eight minutes to go in the game. The run reached 10 in a row when Cummings buried a triple with 7:47 remaining and the Illinois State lead was whittled down to just 12 points. Daishon Knight paced the Redbirds with 20 points. The Sycamores conclude the regular season on Saturday, March 1 when they host Northern Iowa inside Hulman Center. It will be Senior Day for Jake Odum, Lucas Eitel, Manny Arop and Dawon Cummings. Tip-off for the ESPNU nationally-televised contest is set for 1:05 p.m. (ET

Not out of the woods: Sycamores prepare for MVC
Alex Modesitt Sports Editor
While the men’s basketball regular season may be winding down, the games are about to heat up. The 10 teams of the Missouri Valley Conference are about to converge on St. Louis in hopes of a MVC Championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The Missouri Valley Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament, also known as Arch Madness, will take center stage in the Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis from March 6-9. Indiana State and Wichita State enter as the favorites to take
Thursday, March 6
home the title. Arch Madness will kick off on Mar. 6 when the eighth seed clashes with the ninth seed to determine who’s got the right to advance and face the top seeded Shockers. The Shockers are the first team in NCAA history to begin the regular season 30-0 and look to carry their perfect record deep into March. The Sycamores have earned the second seed in the tournament, regardless of what happens in their final game against Northern Iowa on Saturday. Indiana State earned their seeding by having the second best record in conference play. Their 12-5
Friday, March 7
mark in conference play falls well short of Wichita State’s unblemished 17-0. The second place seeding gives the Sycamores a bye through to the second round. With one game still to play, all but the top two seeds have yet to be determined, but Indiana State’s first game will come against either the seventh or tenth seeded team on Friday, March 7 at 7:05 p.m. Indiana State needs only to look at recent history to realize that they are still in an enviable position heading into the tourney. Three of the last six Arch Madness champions have finished the
Saturday, March 8
regular season in second place of the conference. The Sycamores haven’t captured a tournament championship since the 2011 season, but will need to this year if they hope to make it to the NCAA Tournament. Last year, Indiana State upset Evansville in the quarterfinals before falling to eventual champion Creighton in the semifinals. Indiana State will look to get over the hump this year and land a spot in the championship game. If they do so, they could set up a potential matchup against the Shockers, with a trip to the NCAA Tournament on the line.
