THE OF THE

STATE STATE

By Christina Avery averycm@iu.edu | christym_avery

In his annual State of the State address Tuesday, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said he believes Indiana’s economy is strong, and providing Hoosiers with more opportunities for education, career development and healthcare will help citizens thrive. During the address, Holcomb laid out and sought approval for his budget priorities for

the 2023 legislative session running from January to April.

Holcomb laid out three goals: secure Indiana’s place in the economy, transform the delivery of public health access across the state and continue to make investments in schools from pre-k to college.

Indiana’s revenue grew from $15.5 billion in 2017 to over $21 billion by the end of the 2022 fiscal year, Holcomb said. Indiana’s revenues are

Since 2017, Indiana has decreased its state debt by 31%, Holcomb said.

“Because our revenue and population are both growing, we have the ability — rather, the obligation — to fuel that growth and utilize reserves for one-time projects, even while we maintain a healthy surplus,” Holcomb

COLUMN: Indiana basketball isn’t this bad, but it needs time to be better

By Bradley Hohulin bhohulin@iu.edu

Final scores don’t tell us everything.

Indiana men’s basketball’s 84-83 loss to Northwestern on Sunday doesn’t tell you anything about the Hoosiers’ lack of depth. There is no allusion to the foot surgery graduate guard Xavier

Johnson recently underwent, nor the knee injury graduate forward Race Thompson suffered against Iowa on Thursday night.

However, it also fails to mention that Indiana trailed for nearly 38 total minutes, once by 17 points, and surrendered more than twice as many turnovers as Northwest-

ern. Somewhere between those two evaluations — Indiana as the luckless, injury-riddled squad and Indiana as an abject disappointment — lies the truth about a team whose aspirations have shifted from championships to consistent competence. SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 4

said.

One of these projects includes support for trail development. The governor said he is seeking $50 million more for multi-use recreational trails, along with $25 million to build on the state’s land conservation program.

“With this type of momentum and so much more, I’m forced to utter that familiar phrase: ladies and gentlemen, the state of our state is strong and about to

get stronger,” Holcomb said.

Holcomb urged the legislature to adopt the Indiana Governor’s Public Health Commission’s recommendation to increase the state’s public health appropriation, which includes an additional $120 million in the first year and $227 million in the second year.

“We don’t have a day or a dollar, certainly not a life to waste,” Holcomb said. “Taking the next four months to get this right – nothing could

be more important.” The governor is proposing the state’s largest-ever investment in K-12 tuition support, an increase of $1.1 billion, to help achieve an average teacher salary of at least $60,000 per year.

Holcomb said he aims to eliminate textbook and curriculum materials fees for families. Indiana is one of only seven states where families must pay these fees.

Indiana to win $20 Million from Google to resolve suit

By Natalie Fitzgibbons natfitzg@iu.edu | @NatalieFitz9

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced Dec. 29 that Google will pay Indiana $20 million to resolve the state’s lawsuit against the company’s allegedly misleading location tracking practices, according to a press release from the Attorney General’s Office.

After negotiations between Google and a coalition of 40 state attorneys general stalled, Rokita filed an independent lawsuit. Indiana will receive twice the amount of money with the separate lawsuit than it would have under the deal with the coalition, according to the press release. In November, the coalition agreed on a $391.5 million settlement with the company, according to an Associated Press article.

Rokita sued Google be-

cause even a small amount of location data could expose a user’s identity and personal information.

Google issued a statement claiming they introduced more transparency tools over the years for users to manage their data and minimize what data is collected.

Google has not admitted to any wrongdoing regarding the deal with Indiana.

According to the press

release, the company has misled users about its location practices as early as 2014 by using users' location data to build user profiles and target advertisements.

An article by the AP in 2018 found that Google continued to track people’s locations even when they used a feature to opt out of tracking. This caused states to investigate Google’s tracking practices.

5 stories you may have missed over winter break

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu

Bloomington experiences increased water main breaks

Following several days of freezing temperatures in December, Bloomington utilities workers fixed four water main breaks on Thursday, Dec. 29. According to a Bloomingtonian article, the water main breaks were in the 500 block of East Audubon, 2200 block of East Queens Way, 900 block of South Hawthorne Drive, and 400 block of East Walls Drive.

The number of breaks increased following the winter storm in December, Holly McLauchlin, City of Bloomington Utilities department communications manager, said in the article. According to the article, seven other water mains broke between Dec. 1 and Dec. 29.

Holcomb proposes 6% funding boost for Indiana schools

if adopted by Legislature

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced a new state spending plan Wednesday, Jan. 4 as part of his 2023 Next Level Agenda that, if adopted by the Indiana legislature, would give schools a

6% funding boost and eliminate textbook fees for public school students.

According to a recent press release, Holcomb is proposing increasing tuition support for K-12 schools by 6% in 2024 and 2% in 2025.

The release stated Holcomb will aim to increase average teacher salaries by $3,400 to at least $60,000 a year.

Additionally, Holcomb proposed to prohibit textbook and curricular material fees for Indiana K-12 families. Indiana is one of seven states still allowing families to be charged for textbooks.

The release stated the cost to fund textbooks and other curriculum materials for more than 1 million students at all traditional public and charter schools, along with students eligible to receive free curricular materials in non-public schools, is approximately $160 million per year.

Three candidates officially file for Bloomington mayoral race

Kerry Thomson, Susan Sandberg and Don Griffin officially filed for the Bloomington mayoral race Wednesday, Jan. 4.

Thomson, the executive director of IU’s Center for

Rural Engagement, will run against Sandberg, a Bloomington City Councilmember, as well as former Bloomington deputy mayor Griffin.

In November, Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton announced he would not seek a third term as mayor. Hamilton took office in 2016 and again in 2020, serving in the position for eight years.

Indiana’s new turn signal law now in effect

A new turn signal law will remove specific distance requirements for drivers to signal lane turns or changes in Indiana.

House Enrolled Act 1167, signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb in March 2022, requires drivers to signal before safely making any lane turns or changes, instead of requiring drivers to use their turn signals within a specific distance of the turn. A previous version of the law required a driver to signal 200 feet before a turn or lane change or 300 feet if traveling more than 50 miles per hour.

According to a WDRB article, the law was passed in the House by a 69-2 vote and 44-0 vote in the Senate.

Indiana medical board to hear abortion case next

month

Indiana’s medical licensing board is set to hear the case regarding Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolisbased doctor who provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio during June 2022.

The hearing, scheduled for Feb. 23, will be part of the board’s decision regarding the status of Bernard’s medical license. In November, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita claimed Bernard violated privacy laws after the doctor spoke to a newspaper about the 10-year-old patient’s treatment.

Bernard filed a lawsuit against Rokita in November. She argued the Attorney Generals’ office wrongly justified the investigation into her medical record with complaints submitted by people with no personal knowledge of the patient’s abortion. Bernard dropped the lawsuit in December after Marion County Judge Heather Welch ruled Rokita could continue the investigation against Bernard. Welch also ruled Rokita had violated confidentiality laws by making statements in the media before reporting the investigation to the Indiana Medical Licensing Board.

Luddy School expanding to IUPUI campus

By Olivia Franklin orfrankl@iu.edu | @Livvvvv_5

The IUPUI School of Informatics and Computing will be renamed the IU Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering to align with the IU-Bloomington campus.

IUPUI Interim Chancellor Andrew R. Klein said in a release the expansion of Luddy to Indianapolis is an important step in the evolution of the campus.

“We look forward to the increased collaboration between faculty, students and industry partners that this change will help foster,” Klein said in the re-

lease.

Each campus will keep their current degree programs and students, with plans for future expansions, according to the release.

The dean of the Bloomington Luddy School, Joanna Millunchick, said in the release moving forward as one school is an exciting step in the growth of the Luddy School and will help to build upon the strengths of the Indianapolis and Bloomington campuses.

The current IUPUI Luddy School Dean, David Russomanno, will continue to have a separate but coordinated management role.

Spring sports registration now open

By Gentry Keener gekeener@iu.edu

As the spring semester commences, so does registration for many activities around campus. Student registration for intramural sports opened Jan. 9 and will close Jan. 23. Whether you are looking for a new club to join or hoping to get more active with an intramural sport, IU has a variety of options for students to get involved.

This spring semester, students can sign up for basketball, battleship, futsal, handball and wallyball.

In order to register, you must currently be enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student and have paid the mandatory student activity fee as part of your IU tuition payment.

Ivy Tech Community College students living in an

IUB residence hall and university faculty can also sign up if they have purchased a current, valid Recreational Sports Membership.

According to IU Division of Student Affairs Intramural Sports Participant Handbook, those who have competed professionally in a corresponding sport may not register. Current varsity athletes may not register for the sport in which they represent IU.

After signing up, there is a required fee to play external to the mandatory student activity fee, ranging anywhere from $20-70.

While registration has only just opened, Ryan Fitzgerald, assistant director of intramural sports, said some sports are filling up quickly. Fitzgerald said basketball is one of the sports filling up quickly, with open rec already having a waitlist.

According to the IMLeagues intramural sports website, recreational league is for those looking purely for fun and fitness. The environment is more relaxed and focuses on “social and fitness benefits.” There is women's rec, men's rec, coed rec and an open rec. Competitive league is for those looking to compete at a higher level of skill. Competitive leagues will play three games, followed by an elimination playoff game for qualifying teams. There is a women’s competition, men’s competition, fraternity competition, and coed competition.

Within each sport, there is a variety of leagues and divisions to join, ranging in skill level and commitment.

As seen on the IMLeagues website, whether you choose to play on a competitive team or are simply looking for a more recreational

experience, there is a league for everyone who wants to join.

Although the majority of these sports have seasons lasting throughout the semester — lasting from Jan. 29 until late February or early March — a few are only a weekend-long event.

For example, on Feb. 11, IU Division of Student Affairs will host a battleship tournament. The event will take place throughout the day from noon to 6 p.m. Teams of three to nine students will spend their Sunday in the SRSC pool attempting to sink other canoes.

Handball and wallyball are also shorter seasons, only lasting about two weeks in February.

Students can find a list of all intramural sports, leagues, and teams on the intramural sports website.

Judge Dana Kenworthy joins Court of Appeals

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu

Grant County Superior Court Judge Dana Kenworthy will be the next member of the Indiana Court of Appeals. Kenworthy’s appointment will create the first female majority on the 15-member court.

The Indiana Court of Appeals has 15 judges, each drawn from one of five Appeals Court districts. Judges are nominated by the Indiana Judicial Nominating Commission and selected by the governor. Three judges serve in each district. Kenworthy’s

appointment will mean eight of the 15 seats on the judicial body are held by women.

“Judge Kenworthy is one of the sharpest legal minds in our state which is what brought her to the courtroom, but it’s her passion for children and families that has kept her there,” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said in a Dec. 21 press release.

According to the release, Kenworthy served on Grant County Superior Court 2 since 2010. During her time as a Grant County judge, Kenworthy founded the Grant County Family Recovery court which applied a prob-

lem-solving court model to help high risk families remain intact.

Prior to serving as a judge, Kenworthy worked as a Grant County prosecutor for 10 years where she focused on cases concerning child abuse, sexual assault, juvenile delinquency and domestic violence.

Kenworthy earned her bachelor’s degree from Ball State University and graduated from IU’s McKinney School of Law.

Kenworthy will replace Derek R. Molter following his appointment to the Indiana Supreme Court.

TSA intercepts 6,301 firearms in 2022

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu

The Transportation Security Administration intercepted a record 6,301 firearms at airport security checkpoints between Jan. 1 and Dec. 16 of 2022.

According to a TSA press release, the number of intercepted firearms brought by passengers to security checkpoints surpassed 2021’s previous record of 5,792 firearms. The release said 88% of the intercepted firearms were loaded.

Of the 6,301 intercepted firearms in 2022, 89 were found at checkpoints in Indiana airports, Jessica Mayle, a regional TSA spokesperson, said in an Indiana Public Media article. Mayle said 68 firearms were intercepted at Indianapolis International Airport, 11 at South Bend International Airport and 10 at Evansville Regional Airport.

Mayle said of the 68 guns found at Indianapolis International Airport, 64 were loaded.

Passengers in Indiana found in violation of TSA’s firearm policy may also face local charges depending on the location of the airport, Mayle said, including fines and

TSA does not permit passengers to transport firearms in carry-on bags at any security checkpoint, even if a passenger has a concealed weapon permit, according to the release. TSA increased the maximum civil penalty for firearms violations — which is determined based on circumstances in each case — to $14,950 per violation to reduce the threat of firearms at security checkpoints. TSA also revokes PreCheck eligibility for a minimum of five years for passengers found with firearms.

Passengers transporting firearms must follow packing guidance in checked baggage and declare them to their airline at check-in. Individual airlines may have additional requirements for traveling with firearms and ammunition.

2023: The year you take care of yourself

Yes, we are back to school, and students — including myself — can no longer sleep in until noon and scroll through TikTok for hours on end throughout the day. Personally, it feels good to be put back on a schedule. However, I know that it will take effort to stay caught up with classes, work and other things without experiencing end-of-year burnout.

Before we can learn how to avoid burnout, though, we have to learn how to identify burnout when it is occurring.

Procrastinating, sense of

failure or feeling helpless are a few traits that someone may experience if they are beginning to slip into burnout. It can be hard to identify burnout because it is often a sign that you may not be aware of how many things are pulling you. I’ve found that it can be more and more difficult to take part in self-care because time begins to get taken up by other things. Taking a step back and identifying parts of yourself that feel drained helps you know what steps to take in re-energizing.

One way that helps me avoid burnout is by being intentional about what content I consume, such as podcasts.

Recently, podcasts have

been on the upswing in America with an increase of listeners rising from 57% in 2021 to 62% in 2022. I had never really been able to get into podcasts but by making time for them, I’ve seen how they can be useful.

One that I have been listening to is “The Positive Mindset Podcast” by Henry G Lawrence. This podcaster talks about intentionally raising one’s self-awareness and how to better keep a person’s inner peace or spirits high. Listening to one episode every now and then could help you reset your mentality and possibly help with keeping in touch with how you are doing mentally. As class assignments and other events begin to pick up, it’s more

difficult to make time for yourself if you don’t do it intentionally. Sometimes it’s a lack of sleep that can creep up on us slowly because of homework due dates, projects or meetings that go late. Sleep deprivation has been said to affect moods heavily, often causing negative emotions such as irritability, sadness or anxiety. Being mindful of your sleep schedule can help you identify why you may be feeling the emotions mentioned before. If you know that you got four hours of sleep the night before, you may better understand why you are more irritated toward someone. Prioritizing sleep may not be easy, but is essential in supporting

the schedule you have built for yourself.

By taking time for yourself, it may be easier to build a schedule that can be better balanced.

Journaling is a good way to keep track of how you are doing and forces you to make time for yourself. By writing down your thoughts, journaling breaks nonstop thinking that can cause higher levels of stress or anxiety. Writing down your thoughts is like holding a mirror up to your mind, forcing you to look at your thinking patterns for what they are, whether they are negative or positive. After recognizing the thoughts that go on in your brain, identifying how you are feeling day to day be-

comes easier.

If worst comes to worst and you do end up becoming burnt out or unable to take a break, remember that friends are there to talk. Most students can relate to one another about the stresses of school, so being able to vent about it may help. Remember that you are not alone in the new year. Identifying when you are beginning to feel overwhelmed and taking part in the tactics mentioned before may help you work to reach any 2023 goals. Following through with goals is never easy, but continuing to be mindful of your mental health daily may be the first step. caremars@iu.edu

The Black Panther Party and the power of young people to make change

Jared Quigg (he/him) is a junior studying journalism and political science.

Young people are often discounted in the world of politics. Our political interests historically have been ignored, partially due to low voter turnout among young people. Even now, the two major political parties are dueling over the amount of student debt that should be forgiven. One party proposes a Band-Aid to the student debt crisis; the other wants to poke at the wound.

When young people aren’t being ignored in politics, we’re belittled. We’re young, and so we must lack intelligence.

In this predicament as young people, where we are disregarded and disparaged, we should look to the Black Panthers for inspiration.

Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale were college students when they formed the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in 1966. Their first recruit was 16-year-old Bobby Hutton.

The Black Panther Party was a Marxist-Leninist organization dedicated not only to uplifting the Black community but to fundamentally changing American society. In their famous “Ten-Point Program,” wherein they outlined their beliefs and goals, the Panthers advocated for an immediate end to police brutality, for public housing and for socialism.

The Panthers didn’t wait around every four years until they could vote for a new

person to oppress them — they got to work. The party initially became notable for policing the police; openly armed Panthers would follow the police on their patrols in order to protect Black people from police violence. This, of course, led racist California lawmakers to ban the open carry of loaded firearms.

Beyond the militancy of the Panthers, the party also provided much-needed social services for poor Black people. Among these were Free Breakfast for Children programs, which fed tens of thousands of hungry children across the country.

Additionally, the party established free health clinics which provided, among other things, screening tests for sickle cell anemia, a disease which disproportionately affects Black people. The people who worked these clinics were often students.

And that last fact cannot be stressed enough. The Panthers proved that young people have the capacity to be serious about politics and to make a positive impact on the world.

Fred Hampton — the subject of the fairly-recent, popular movie “Judas and the Black Messiah” — was 21 years old at the time of his murder at the hands of police, the same age as me. What he was able to achieve in his short life both inspires me and tempers my ego. I ask myself, “What have I done to make the world better?” when I read about his life.

Hampton was the dep-

uty chairman of the Illinois chapter of the party, and he helped launch free breakfast programs and health clinics in Chicago. He was also instrumental in the formation of the “Rainbow Coalition” which consisted of the Panthers along with white and Puerto Rican organizations. Hampton, during a time of intense racial hostility, was able to unite working class people of all races in order to combat capitalist exploitation and police brutality.

If young people are committed to anti-racism, and we should be, then the Rainbow Coalition is a perfect example of the kind of movement that is needed to fight racism: a workingclass movement.

“Never convinced that destroying capitalism would automatically destroy racism, I felt, however, that we could not destroy racism without wiping out its economic foundation,” Huey Newton, the cofounder of the Party, wrote in his autobiography “Revolutionary Suicide.”

And so, many of the problems the young people in the Black Panther Party were fighting against — police brutality, poverty, racism, inequality — are the same problems young people are facing today. Young people should now pick up where the Panthers left off in their struggle against the many inequities in the United States. The Panthers didn’t wait until they were older; neither should we.

Holcomb asked the legislature for an additional $184 million in higher education funding. He said Indiana colleges should seek to enroll more firstgeneration, low-income and minority students.

“Indiana's college campuses need to be the epicenters of brain gain, not brain drain,” Holcomb said.

Holcomb said he supports automatically enrolling eligible students in the 21st Century Scholars Program, which provides students with scholarships covering up to four years of undergraduate tuition.

State Sen. Fady Qaddoura said in a press release that while Holcomb’s 2023 agenda offers opportunities that Democrats have championed for decades, the governor fails to fund high-quality statewide childcare systems, provide solutions to the lack of affordable housing and fund local communities to improve roads and reduce violent crime.

A very, very small part of me wants to tear Indiana apart, but the angriest Indiana fans that read these columns have recently discovered the emerging technology known as email, and I’m trying to limit my vitriol consumption in 2023. Instead, let’s start with the positives: freshman guard Jalen HoodSchifino and senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Hood-Schifino recorded his fourth consecutive career-high in scoring, logging 33 points. He has emerged as Indiana’s clear No. 2 option behind Jackson-Davis and seems to finally be living up to the preseason hype that was somewhat unfairly thrust upon him.

Meanwhile, JacksonDavis continued to mystify against Northwestern. The All-American logged 18 points, eight assists and a truly preposterous 24 rebounds. He did not spend a single second of game time on the bench.

That’s a cool stat line and it appeals to the part of my brain that loves hard work,

“Fast & Furious” movies and suppressing my emotions, but it’s grim when those stats are attached to a loss.

Jackson-Davis has battled a lower back injury most of the season, so relying on him to play 40 minutes per game is a concerning proposition, even if it’s ostensibly necessary. While Icy Hot is making a great case for Indiana’s sixth man of the year, the majority of Indiana’s roster has underperformed.

Against Northwestern, the foremost issues were turnovers and defense. There’s a case to be made for Indiana’s misfortune with refereeing, but last time I checked, referees don’t lob lazy passes directly to Indiana’s opponents or clear wide-open lanes for them.

The Hoosiers committed 16 turnovers to the Wildcats’ seven, leading to 25 points for Northwestern. If Indiana had surrendered even 24 points off turnovers it might have won, but it had to be 25.

On the other side of the ball, I know we iden-

tify Indiana as a team whose strength is its defense — but is it really?

This week, hundreds of aspiring sorority sisters at IU will put in dozens of grueling hours in the hopes of receiving a bid from the house of their choice. None of them will have half as easy a time getting in as the Wildcats did getting in the paint against the Hoosiers.

Be it blown assignments or a lack of effort — head coach Mike Woodson al-

luded to the latter in his postgame press conference — Indiana repeatedly gifted open shots to Northwestern. The Wildcats didn’t make them all, but they certainly made enough.

And yet, despite the turnovers and the lackluster defense, Indiana still only lost by one point, one possession.

It’s an interesting predicament wherein it feels wrong to heavily criticize a team missing two of its best

players. But then you watch that team hand out turnovers and open shots like questionable pamphlets at a Turning Point USA table in front of the arboretum, and your well of sympathy starts to run dry.

Right now, Indiana looks to be roughly the same caliber of team as Northwestern, perhaps just a hair worse.

Final scores don’t tell us everything. But they might tell us everything that matters.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Indiana beats Northwestern 72-50, Berger, Browne return

By Will Foley wtfoley@iu.edu | @foles24

No. 6 Indiana women’s basketball dominated Northwestern 72-50 Sunday afternoon in Evanston, Illinois. The Hoosiers had their worst shooting performance of the season, but stifling defense, aggressive rebounding and proficient free-throw shooting helped overcome poor shooting.

“Road wins are never easy,” Indiana head coach Teri Moren said after the game. “We did not shoot the ball well from beyond the arc, which is uncharacteristic of our team. We still made enough plays and found ways to win.”

Good news was provided for Indiana before the ball even tipped, as graduate guard Grace Berger was not only available to play, but she was in the starting lineup. Coming off a knee injury on Nov. 25 against Auburn University, Berger’s return gave the Hoosiers a jolt.

Indiana proved this early, opening the game on a 7-0 scoring run, five of which coming from junior guard Sydney Parrish. Northwest-

Jalen HoodSchifino earns Big Ten Freshman of the Week

By Emma Pawlitz epawlitz@iu.edu | @emmapawlitz

Indiana men’s basketball freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week, the conference announced Monday. HoodSchifino is the first Hoosier to earn weekly honors during the 2022-23 season.

The freshman averaged 27 points, six assists and three rebounds in Indiana’s losses to Iowa and Northwestern the past week. He set a career high of 21 points against the Hawkeyes on Friday and surpassed it with 33 against the Wildcats on Sunday.

Hood-Schifino shot 10of-15 from beyond the arc during the stretch after shooting 25% from 3-point range throughout the first six games of the season. He leads the Hoosiers with 55 total assists and ranks second in points per game with 13.4.

Hood-Schifino is the first Hoosier freshman to earn the honor since nowsenior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis did so in February 2020.

ern responded with four points, but the Hoosiers continued to score. Indiana’s 7-4 lead at the 7:18 mark was the closest Northwestern would be all game.

Berger made an immediate impact, assisting on Indiana’s first three field goals and later converting a layup with 2:57 remaining to get on the board. Shortly after, she drilled her patented midrange jumper to extend the Hoosiers’ lead.

Senior forward Mackenzie Holmes put up a layup with five seconds remaining in the first quarter to give the Hoosiers a 20-12 lead after one period. Holmes picked up where she left off, scoring 10 of Indiana's first 12 points in the second frame. The Hoosiers took a double-digit lead at the 9:47 mark of the second quarter and led by 11 points or more the rest of the game.

Holmes had 14 points in the second frame alone, and after mirroring the first period’s score the Hoosiers led 40-24 at the half.

The Wildcats pushed back in the third quarter, outscoring the Hoosiers 1816. Junior guard Jasmine

McWilliams, an Indianapolis product, scored eight of Northwestern’s 18 in the period, including two 3-pointers. Indiana went cold from the floor, shooting 4-of-15 in the frame, but relied on free throws and second-chance points to continue scoring.

The third period included the first appearance of the season for Indiana junior forward Kiandra Browne. After battling a hand injury all season, Browne notched a steal within two minutes in her debut.

The same theme applied in the fourth quarter, however Indiana’s defense tightened up to hold the Wildcats to eight points in the last 10 minutes. Indiana remained consistent, pouring in another 16 points to close out the 72-50 win.

“I’m proud of the way we shot from the free throw line today,” Moren said. “Everything was a little bit down — except rebounding — and our defense did what it needed to, which was keep Northwestern at bay.”

Holmes again performed at an All-American level, leading all scorers with 24 points and all rebounders

notching 13 boards for her third consecutive doubledouble and fourth of the season. Per usual, her outing was efficient, shooting 10-of14 from the field as the only Hoosier to shoot above 42%.

Berger scored 16 points and dished out five assists in her return. Parrish scored 12 points, the only other Hoosier in double figures, and added eight rebounds and four steals.

Indiana shot 25-of-68 from the field — 36.8% — which is its worst shooting percentage of the season. After starting 2-of-4 on 3-point attempts, the Hoosiers finished making just one of their last 18 attempts to conclude at 3-of-22 from deep, 13.6%.

Indiana had 15 offensive rebounds, outrebounding Northwestern 46-33 in total, and 19 second-chance points. The Hoosiers shot 19-of-21 from the free-throw line, 90.5%.

Next, Indiana will prepare for a ranked matchup against No. 13 Maryland on Thursday. The game is scheduled to tip off at 6:30 p.m. at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall and will be available to watch on BTN.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

COLUMN: Indiana was a well-oiled machine

By Matt Press mtpress@iu.edu | @MatthewPress23

Chants of “airball, airball” rained down from Northwestern fans after No. 6 Indiana women’s basketball junior guard Sydney Parrish failed to connect on a 3-pointer.

The miss capped off a day in which the Hoosiers shot 3-22 — 14% — from beyond the arc. I may have failed to mention that they did in fact beat the Wildcats by 22 points on Sunday, though. Midway through the third quarter, Parrish tumbled into a row of open seats after chasing down a loose ball.

In domino fashion, the foldable chairs collapsed one by one, and thankfully Parrish emerged unscathed. It was a fitting metaphor for the game, wherein Indiana didn’t need finesse or flashiness to swiftly topple Northwestern, but rather devastatingly disciplined play on both ends of the floor.

Speaking of reliability, while senior forward Mackenzie Holmes delivered yet another highly efficient 20-point double-double, graduate guard Grace Berger was reinserted into the starting lineup against the Wildcats after missing the last eight games with a knee injury.

Surprise would be an understatement. Berger’s injury appeared severe when it occurred, and head coach Teri Moren had dodged questions about the star’s timeline for a return, instead repeatedly hinting toward somewhat vague notions of progress.

Though she certainly made tangible leaps forward in recent weeks, when the Twitter notification of the starting lineup popped up, I admittedly had to recheck it multiple times. Credit to head coach Teri Moren for keeping that information close to the vest, because that truly made for a shock. Minutes would be the next question. She squashed any ideas of a restriction after logging 27. As for what she did with those minutes? Berger notched 16 points powered by converting six of seven shots from the stripe, five assists and a pair of steals.

It wasn’t a vintage performance, which was absolutely not to be expected in her first action back, but seeing No. 34 drop contested midrange jumpers made it hard for Hoosier fans not to get a little excited. Her shot creation is well documented, but her overall playmaking ability was glaringly lacking in her absence.

“She’s only been in practice for a week,” Moren said. “Not that she looks like the Grace we’re used to seeing, but she looks dang near close to it. I think it gives everyone a shot in the arm.”

Like the cross-court dart to freshman guard Yarden Garzon — who subsequently drained a 3-pointer — early in Sunday’s game, Berger’s passes were crisp and decisive. Add in a strong connection with Holmes and the Hoosiers are now firmly back in the discussion for owning the best tandem in the Big Ten.

Star efforts wasted in Indiana’s loss against Northwestern

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @evangerike

Indiana men’s basketball couldn’t hold on to the ball.

That was the difference in No. 15 Indiana’s 84-83 loss to Northwestern on Sunday: 16 turnovers leading to 25 Northwestern points. The Wildcats used the extra possessions to jump on Indiana early, taking a 17-point lead in the first half that remained in double-digits nearly the entire game until the last two minutes.

Despite a flurry of scoring in a last-minute bid for a comeback, its own errors doomed Indiana to yet another Big Ten loss.

“It ain't rocket science,” head coach Mike Woodson said after the game. “You've got to work harder. Nobody is just going to hand-deliver you wins. We've got to go earn a win.”

Senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis and freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino did as much as they could to buoy Indiana, each producing superhuman efforts in attempts to reinvigorate the offense.

Jackson-Davis was on triple-double watch in the first half, something quickly becoming the norm against Big Ten opponents in Assembly Hall. He finished the game with 18 points and eight assists, and his 24 rebounds were the eighthhighest total in program his-

tory.

Hood-Schifino continued his emergence as an offensive star for the Hoosiers, putting up a seasonhigh 33 points, the most for a freshman at Indiana since Eric Gordon scored 33 in his debut in 2007. It’s the fourth straight game Hood-Schifino has set a career best in scoring.

Outside of those two, Indiana was helpless. Down senior forward Race Thompson and senior guard Xavier Johnson, both out indefinitely with injuries, the Hoosiers struggled to find anyone able to replicate their production on either side of the ball.

“Xavier Johnson and Race Thompson are sitting on the sideline,” Woodson said. “That's why we're struggling a little bit defensively. We've got two starters that are sitting on the sideline, and I'm reaching trying to figure out who's going to replace that.”

With a scramble to fill in the lineup, Geronimo started in Thompson’s place and was a nonfactor, going scoreless with 10 minutes played, only one of which came in the second half.

Bates — who replaced Johnson for the second straight game — was slightly better, scoring nine points in 26 minutes. Johnson’s absence also leaves HoodSchifino as the primary ball handler, and while his scoring reached a new level, he

struggled to distribute the ball, turning it over six times compared to just three assists.

“Just got to stop turning the ball over,” Hood-Schifino said. “There's not really too much you can do. I think first half, that killed us, especially with me. I had some turnovers, and they had some layups and everything and converted off it.”

By the time Indiana’s offense woke up late in the second half, it was too late. The Hoosiers’ early second half foul trouble caught

up with them, placing the Wildcats at the line 26 times in the second half.

Northwestern’s last basket came with 4:24 remaining, but as its 13-point lead shriveled amid a late and furious Indiana comeback, the Wildcats made eight straight free throws to escape with the victory.

Indiana’s last effort came on a half-court heave at the buzzer from junior guard Trey Galloway, banking the shot in to cut the Northwestern lead to just one point.

The ironic end to the

game, with big plays arriving far too late for the Hoosiers, came as they sank to 1-3 in the Big Ten. They will look to right the ship at 7 p.m. Wednesday night when they travel to take on Penn State in State College, Pennsylvania.

“Nobody is going to feel sorry for the Indiana Hoosiers,” Woodson said. “Yes, we've got two key guys that are sitting on the bench not in uniform, but we've got other guys that are in uniform that have got to step up and play.”

COLUMN: ‘The

By Erin Stafford ecstaffo@iu.edu | @erincstafford

SPOILER ALERT: This column contains potential spoilers about “The Banshees of Inisherin.”

British-Irish film director Martin McDonagh seamlessly blends the elements of comedy and tragedy together in his latest film, “The Banshees of Inisherin.” With a flair for absurdist comedy, McDonagh paints a harrowing portrait of two lifelong friends who find themselves in an irrevocable disagreement.

Set in 1923 on the fictional Irish isle of Inisherin, fiddler Colm, played by Brendan Gleeson, begins

Banshees of Inisherin’ is a grim metaphor

ignoring his longtime friend and lowly cow herder Pádraic, played by Colin Farrell, without warning or reason.

Although the idyllic island off the coast of Ireland is not real, its authenticity is palpable. Picturesque greenery collides with rustic rocks, stone cottages and roaming sheep, while day drinking at the local pub is as habitual as brushing one’s teeth. Gunshots can be heard across the water, though, as the Irish Civil War persists on the mainland.

As the civil war drags on, tensions rise between Colm and Pádraic. Over the course of several discussions, we learn that Colm has come to

find Pádraic — a man who can chat for hours about his beloved donkey — dull. In an absurdly forward admission, Colm tells Pádraic, “I just don’t like you no more.”

A deeply wounded Pádraic continues to call upon Colm and approach him at the local pub where they used to drink together. After several attempts to rid himself of Pádraic, Colm relents and reveals his true motivations for initiating the pair’s impasse. Colm reveals he’s fallen into a deep depression, caused by a sense of time slipping away. Determined to do something creative with his life and leave behind something to be remembered by, he dedicates

himself to his music and rids himself of Pádraic — a “limited man.”

Even after this revelation, Pádraic continues to seek out Colm. Fed up with Pádraic’s incredulity and persistence, Colm vows he will cut off one of his own fingers next time Pádraic tries to talk to him. It’s important to remember Colm is a fiddle player, whose vow to cut off his own finger works only to spite Pádraic. This irrational threat adds exciting momentum to the story, which seems to move slowly in the first act.

As the film progresses, love turns to vengeance as Colm’s rude, yet sincere remarks eat away at Pádraic’s

innate goodness. While this conflict wholeheartedly mirrors the Irish Civil War, the metaphor is perhaps most relevant at this point in the film: irrevocable differences persist and almost all hope is lost to rekindle what was once a working relationship.

Actors Farrell and Gleeson deliver a tour de force performance, with vulgar brashness and acerbic wit seeped in melancholy. Although deeply macabre, “The Banshees of Inisherin” encourages audiences to empathize with both sides of civil war through a fablelike tale of lifelong friends who’ve ended their relationship.
