IU advances to third round of WNIT By Murphy Wheeler jonmwhee@iu.edu | @murph_wheelerIU

It all started with a free throw from senior guard Tyra Buss. But it was senior forward Amanda Cahill’s 3-pointer shortly after that changed everything for the IU women’s basketball team in their game against Milwaukee at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Sunday. Although Buss’ made free throw with six minutes to go in the second quarter began what would be a 17-0 for the Hoosiers, it was when Buss found Cahill for an open three on the next possession, that truly sparked a burst of energy from IU and the Hoosier crowd. It proved to be the momentum swing the Hoosiers needed to pull away from the Panthers and move on to the third round of the WNIT with a 74-54 victory. “Anytime Amanda or Tyra can get us going with threes, it’s like a shot in the arm for us,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “It helped us feel like we could gain some control because up to that

point, it just felt like we were going back-and-forth.” IU couldn’t quite distance themselves from Milwaukee early on. In the first quarter, IU escaped with a narrow one-point lead as the Panthers defense forced the Hoosiers into six turnovers in the quarter. In the second quarter, the Hoosiers finally took control. Cahill’s three began a hot streak that featured numerous easy buckets down low from junior forward Kym Royster and freshman center Linsey Marchese, as well as Buss scoring 11 of her 17 points. Not only did the three spark a 17-0 run, but IU also managed to outscore Milwaukee 20-3 in the final six minutes before halftime to give them a commanding 42-24 lead heading into the locker room. While IU flourished offensively during that span, it was ultimately its defense that proved to be even more effective. Milwaukee shot just 25 percent from the field in the second quarter while also turning it over nine times.

“I think we saw it was getting close and we said we have to get going here,” Buss said. “Our defense is what translates to our offense so we had to lock down defensively. I think that got us really fired up. Whenever we start doing that defensively, it really helps us

get going offensively as well.” IU did so without two of their best defenders in freshmen guards Jaelynn Penn and Bendu Yeaney who both went to the bench with three early fouls. Freshman guard Keyanna Warthen and sophomore forward Bre Wickware came off the

bench to give their team some much-needed energy on the defensive end. “I have to give our bench some credit, I thought they did a tremendous job,” Moren said. “We probably weren’t as efficient on the offensive end but I thought they came in and gave us some great minutes defensively.” It was more of the same for IU in the third quarter as the Hoosiers were able to extend their lead to 63-39 behind eight points from Penn and seven from Cahill. The Hoosiers managed to easily close out the game in the fourth quarter. Their defense continued to be dominant all day, forcing Milwaukee into 16-50 shooting from the field and 24 total turnovers on 17 IU steals. Buss had seven steals of her own while Penn

A 53-year-old man crashed into the Sample Gates on Thursday evening while driving with a blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit, IU Police Department Capt. Craig Munroe said. IUPD officers estimated the driver, David Aldridge, caused about $10,000 to $25,000 in damage to the Sample Gates, the truck he was driving and other surrounding property. Munroe said an IU custodian suffered minor injuries after stepping out in front of the truck in an attempt to stop it. It is unclear whether the custodian was taken to the hospital. Aldridge turned right at the intersection of East Kirkwood Avenue and South Indiana Avenue, Munroe said, leading him up onto the pedestrian walkway and through the main arch of the Sample Gates. Aldridge then attempted to drive through the smaller, northern arch of the gates, but his truck could not clear the arch. He also tried to drive through the gates’ small southern arch. He then drove through Dunn’s Woods before heading to the north side of Franklin Hall. A bystander told IUPD officers they thought the truck hit a tree while in the woods. The truck took out a handrail as it traveled down an embankment leading Aldridge to the loading dock area behind Franklin Hall, Munroe said. IUPD officers stopped Alridge at South Indiana Avenue and 17th Street. He was booked into the Monroe County Correctional Center on Thursday. Caroline Anders

Local Bloomington band Nice Try is set to play at 8:30 p.m. March 19 at the Blockhouse Bar. The band will also play at the Culture Shock Music Festival in April. The outdoor music festival will take place on IU’s campus in Dunn Meadow. Guitarist and vocalist Madeleine Robinson played at Culture Shock last year in the band Amy O and said she had a great time. “I appreciate that Culture Shock includes lots of local bands from the community,” Robinson said. Nice Try released the album “Convinced” in 2013, a self-titled tape in 2016 and two singles in early 2017. The band is set to release its self-titled debut album in late 2018. The latest album was produced at the recording studio Russian Recording by owner and producer Mike Bridavsky. “Their music is simple, clever and catchy with a rawness that is often lacking in music these days,” said Bridavsky. The new album is Nice Try’s first full-length album. Nice Try began with Justin Hatton of the band Bugg as the drummer, but Kahler Willits is the current drummer of the band. “Kahler is a great drummer and I trust his perspective,” said Robinson. “He has been with the band for the long haul.” Robinson said the band has a bassist, but not a consistent one, so its members are currently looking for for someone to fill the role permanently.

Nice Try, a local Bloomington rock band, will be playing Monday at the Blockhouse Bar. The band will also be playing at the Culture Shock Music Festival.

Nice Try recently completed a tour with the band Frankie Cosmos. “I felt like everything in my life was leading up to that tour for so long,” Robinson said. “I wish I was still on that tour. I would do it forever.” In 2012, Robinson moved to Bloomington and formed the band Nice Try. Robinson said she wanted to start a band because she listened to more bands than solo artists. She also said she was tired of being perceived a certain way because of being a solo female artist. “It felt like being in a band made people look at me differ-

ently,” Robinson said. “It was an exciting new territory to be loud. I had never done that.” Robinson said before Nice Try she played heartfelt songs on the ukulele for her solo project, Madeline Ava. Robinson said lots of the feedback she received about the Madeline Ava project started with comments about her aesthetic and appearance rather than the songs she was playing. “Every flier said ‘cute songs from a cute girl,’” Robinson said. Robinson said she’s not mad at being called cute but didn’t like it coming up every performance. Robinson started playing and

recording music as a junior in high school in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2007. The first song she wrote was for a high school poetry assignment, Robinson said. “I didn’t play an instrument behind it,” Robinson said. “I just had a shaker and a melody. I recorded it on my computer.” Robinson said she then started to play ukulele and sing under the name Madeline Ava. Robinson also began recording more songs on her laptop. “It was as low quality as it gets, but I took pride in it,” Robinson

IU students looking to try new foods are in luck. Residential Programs and Services is increasing its healthy food options for National Nutrition Month through free samples at all dining locations, a plant-based takeover at Goodbody Eatery and a farmers market at the Indiana Memorial Union, according to Rachel Noirot, a registered dietitian for RPS Dining Services. “We just want to have students try new things,” Noirot said. “We don’t want students to get bored.” Originally established as National Nutrition Week in 1973, the observance expanded to the entire month of March in 1980 as nutrition became increasingly popular with the public. Dining Services is sampling new foods every Wednesday through March. This Wednesday’s dishes include a vegetable vindaloo at the Bookmarket Eatery, lemon herb quinoa salad, and pistachio and apricot couscous. Noirot said some of these recipes are items RPS has previously sold but wants to highlight, while others are IU chefs’ new creations. Junior Claire Burdette, an intern for the IU Office of Sustainability who worked closely with Dining Services on the nutrition month agenda, said the samples might encourage students to purchase healthy foods they SEE RPS, PAGE 5
