IDS Da'Quincy Pittman missed two months of his sophomore year when he was shot six times.

Last week he went back to his school, where four other students have been shot in the last year.

INDIANAPOLIS – The boy is 15 years old and full of metal. Bullet fragments are stuck in his arms, his leg, his side. A rod runs through his leg, and a plate and screws hold his arm together.

Da’Quincy Pittman limps into school on a rainy Monday morning in late February.

It’s his first day back in nearly two months, and his clothes hang differently than they did before. After five surgeries, a stay in the ICU and weeks of rehab, he’s down maybe 20 pounds.

In the center of his forehead dangles a twist of hair, adorned with three beads: red, clear, red. Since that night, he’s called them his lucky beads.

He arrived after the morning rush, bleary-eyed but still careful to hold the door for his mother. The school’s chief of staff hurries over, already crying.

They flit around him – the principal, the chief of staff, his mom.

“Quincy,” one says. “I’m going to get you a schedule, OK?” “Did you have any breakfast today?”

He shakes his head.

“Can you hold a pencil yet?”

He nods.

Da’Quincy is one of about 480 middle

and high schoolers at his school on the far east side of Indianapolis. The teachers and staff hug and feed and clothe their students, but they can’t always keep them safe.

Da’Quincy is one of five who has been shot in the last year. * * * On the night of Dec. 29, three men jumped Da’Quincy and a friend in the parking lot of an apartment complex. They threw open the doors of the car he was sitting in, shot him six times and stole the Jordans off his feet.

Indianapolis’ death toll is soaring. Over the last decade, the number of homicides climbed nearly 80%. A 2016 study found that Indiana had the highest rate of black homicide victims in the nation.

By mid-February of this year, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department had investigated 31 homicides, nearly double the 16 investigated by the same date in 2019.

Da’Quincy’s school, the James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy, charters buses to drop off students at their doors when after-school activities end. A fiveminute walk to the bus stop isn’t worth the risk. One student gets picked up at his door because his bus stop is on the corner where

his mother was shot and killed.

Gwendolyn Hardiman, the school’s chief of staff, has been in education for 38 years.

She wears fashionable glasses and long, intricately done nails. The students call her Grandma.

“Soon as you hear it on TV you wonder, ‘Is it one of ours?’” she says.

Phalen is a public charter that opened nearly three years ago when teachers at other far east side schools got fed up with the fistfights and failings. Nicole Fama, Phalen’s 41-year-old principal and regional director, was the principal of PLA at 93, a school under the Phalen umbrella that was getting tired of sending its students to underperforming high schools.

Phalen Leadership Academies founder and CEO Earl Phalen heard about School 93’s troubles and asked Fama what was keeping her up at night. She told him she just wanted the kids to have a safe place to go after middle school.

Phalen bought a trashed, abandoned school and got to work. The James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy became one of 20 Phalen Leadership Academies around the nation, including five in Indianapolis. The first year, it only offered seventh and eighth grade. Then ninth, then 10th. The plan is to expand each year to cover all of high school. Da’Quincy will be in Phalen’s

first graduating class.

The school sits off of 42nd Street and Mitthoeffer Road, surrounded by a clump of gas stations and roads clotted with potholes.

Grandma doesn’t stop at those stations, but she still makes sure her car never gets all the way to empty so she doesn’t have to stand outside too long.

Phalen is a structured place. Administrators and teachers always refer to students as scholars. The kids sometimes call Fama things like Ops and Federal because she doesn't mess around. She keeps a baggie of drugstore drug tests in her desk.

But Phalen is also a home. Some of the students call Fama Mom. There are washers and dryers for those who don’t have running water. Deans drive students to get haircuts.

Grandma keeps a pack of mini deodorants under her desk for when the boys get musty.

It’s a place where the principal takes care of bullet wounds.

Actress and LGBTQ advocate Laverne Cox will speak at 7 p.m.

March 28 at the IU Auditorium after her original Feb. 13 appearance was postponed.

The former IU student's event,

part of the IU Arts and Humanities Council's Indiana Remixed Festival, was delayed Feb. 4 because of a scheduling conflict.

Tickets obtained for the original Feb. 13 event will be accepted, while new tickets for the event can be acquired online. Tickets are free with a limit of four per transaction.

Restaurants and businesses have been opening in Bloomington faster than people can keep track. It’s even hard for the Chamber of Commerce to keep track of all the places opening around the city.

“They’re opening like crazy,” said Tammy Clarke, director of member services.

Bret Pafford Jr. is a managing partner through ReVv and Strum Hospitality, the company that owns the newly-opened Village Pub in the old Princess Theater on Walnut Street. It’s the first of a few modern restaurants Pafford plans to open in Bloomington.

Over the next several months, Pafford plans to open four new locations in one building that will be located at 217 W. Sixth St., between Social Cantina and Janko’s Little Zagreb.

The first will be a coffee and gelato shop called Brilliant Coffee Company. Pafford said the

company plans to make its own gelato every day with healthy ingredients and no preservatives.

He said he feels like this kind of business is what’s missing in the downtown area, because it’s right off the B-Line Trail and provides a breaking point for those using the trail.

“People are creatures of routine,” Pafford said. “You have to have places for them to want to go.”

Brilliant Coffee Company will serve coffee and gelato in different forms, including some spiked with alcohol for those over 21.

Pafford said there will be a soft opening at the end of March and a grand opening in early April.

Soon after the opening of Brilliant Coffee Company, Pafford and his company plan to open a lunch-time restaurant called Nourish Bar in the same building. It will only serve gluten free foods.

Wrongful death suit filed in Purva Sethi's death

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

The family of 25-year-old IU law student Purva Sethi is suing for Sethi's Feb. 8 death, claiming it as a wrongful death, according to a press release from Greene and Shultz Trial Lawyers.

Sethi’s parents Sanjay and Neelam Sethi made her fiance Jordan Saner the personal representative of her estate, according to the release.

Sethi was killed while crossing inside a crosswalk at South Washington and East Third streets, four blocks away from campus.

Mark Sproat was driving an SUV that evening and failed to yield to Sethi when he made a right turn, according to the release.

The lawsuit accuses Sproat of negligence.

Saner asked the court to determine a monetary award during the trial to pay for medical, funeral, burial and court expenses, according to the release.

BFC discusses coronavirus

By Lily Wray lgwray@iu.edu | @lilywray_

The Bloomington Faculty Council discussed how IU is handling the global coronavirus outbreak at its Tuesday meeting. The council also addressed IU’s sustainability plan and how to consider non-tenure-track faculty for promotions.

IU’S RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS Vice President of Academic Affairs John Applegate and Superintendent for Public Safety Benjamin Hunter spoke to the council about how IU is handling coronavirus.

There are no confirmed cases in Indiana, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There are no restrictions on where people can travel within the United States.

Applegate said IU’s top priority is the health and safety of students and faculty on all IU campuses, the continuity of academics and research and making sure students graduate on time.

“If there is a significant instance of coronavirus on one of our campuses, it will likely be very disruptive,” Applegate said. “There is simply no way around it.”

IU is trying to keep the virus out of campuses, but that won’t last, Applegate said. The university is working on how to limit the effect of the virus.

IU has restricted travel to Iran, Italy, China, Japan

The Bloomington Faculty Council convenes March 3 in Presidents Hall. The council discussed issues such as travel restrictions and sharing information about the coronavirus outbreak.

and South Korea. It is also requiring self-quarantines for people returning from those countries.

Applegate said students should watch travel restrictions as spring break approaches and take into consideration that they may not be able to come back. He said there is no plan in place if students aren’t able to come back.

IU has resources for teachers at keepteaching.iu.edu that provide ways for teachers to teach while students are at home if the university were to close. According to Inside Higher Ed, Lake Washington Institute of Technology in Washington state was closed Monday and Tuesday after a nursing professor and 16 students went to a nursing facility last week where

two coronavirus cases were reported. Other West Coast colleges have canceled academic events, quarantined students exposed to the virus and recalled students and faculty from countries with high levels of transmission, according to the article. More information about the virus is available here.

SUSTAINABILITY AT IU Faculty president Diane Henshel presented a proposed resolution to set goals for IU-Bloomington’s sustainability.

Proposed goals in the resolution include creating a campus-specific climate action plan by 2025, prioritizing the sustainability plan and climate change action plan and making IU a carbon-neutral campus by 2040.

BFC will go into more detail and vote on this resolution during the next meeting.

PROMOTION OF NON-TENURE-TRACK FACULTY Council members discussed which types of evaluations are best for determining the promotion of non-tenuretrack faculty instructional ranks.

IU currently requires six letters of recommendation to be considered for promotion.

Council members considered lowering the number of letters required or getting rid of the requirement to be considered for promotion.

Council members said the discussion will continue into the next meeting.

The council’s next meeting is scheduled for April 7 in the Radio/TV building.

Women in law speak about struggles

By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @bbenpprice54

Four women in the law field spoke to members of an IU pre-law fraternity Tuesday at the Indiana Memorial Union about their experiences and struggles through law school and their careers.

The fraternity, Phi Alpha Delta, coordinated the event because women can feel underrepresented in a lot of fields, secretary on the fraternity’s executive board Claribell Quinones said. She said the event was meant to make women in law more visible and show that women can be successful in the field.

The women spoke about their careers, their struggles with working in law as women and advice they would give themselves and future generations of law students.

“I would tell myself that you are not your success or lack thereof,” president of the Feminist Law Forum at IU Julie Baffoe said. “That doesn’t define who you are and neither does any failure.”

Baffoe said one of Femi-

nist Law Forum’s goals is to advocate against sexism in the legal profession.

Director of the low-income taxpayer clinic at Indiana Legal Services Karen Ward said she felt like people didn’t take her as seriously in the early stages of her career.

“Some people had condescending attitudes,” Ward said. “That’s not everybody, but it is kind of frustrating.

The best way that I found to counteract it is to just be better at your job.”

Social chair of IU’s Women’s Law Caucus Melanie Magdun said the law caucus is meant to connect women to other women in law. She said the group also fundraises for Middle Way House, which benefits survivors of domestic abuse.

Magdun said she and her group encourage women to speak up. She said when women get a job, they are sometimes still in a predominantly male work environment, so their voices need to be heard.

counsel at Strada Education Network spoke about what working for a nonprofit organization means to her.

Strada Education Network improves access to college and helps students finish their education, according to its website.

“Instead of how much money, you ask how many people will this help,” Clark said. “You’re trying to make the world a better place, and that feels good — it makes you want to keep going

back.”

Shefali Prabhakar, a freshman in Phi Alpha Delta, said she enjoyed the panel because the women were able to talk freely about their experiences and true thoughts about the profession.

“I see more events like this panel, having women talk about how they tackle that stigma of being the minority in the room,” Prabhakar said. “It’s really amazing to hear them.”

There’s only one park in Bloomington that has a road running directly through it, but starting March 13, vehicles will no longer be able to access a section of Old State Road 37 North that runs through Lower Cascades Park.

The Bloomington Board of Public Works unanimously approved a sixmonth pilot study at its Tuesday meeting that involves converting Old State Road 37 North through Lower Cascades Park to a pedestrian and bicycleonly trail. The road will be converted into a trail from the Rogers Group quarry entrance to the north side of the playground. The project will begin March 13 and end Sept. 30.

There will be a kickoff event March 28 at the park, involving a 100-meter kids’ dash and a one-mile run/ walk for all ages, according to a press release from the City of Bloomington.

Paula McDevitt, director of Bloomington Parks and Recreation, said the pilot study comes after improvements were made to the park in 2018, such as additional trails. The department then began looking at how else they could make the park better.

The closure will connect the trails at Lower Cascades Park to Miller Showers Park, which is between North Walnut Street and College Avenue.

People who went to Lower Cascades Park were surveyed last March to find out how they use the park and how they get there.

The survey was evenly split between people who drove there and people who biked, ran or walked.

The survey didn’t include information about people’s opinions about turning the road into a pedestrian and bicycle-only trail, and McDevitt said the department wanted to use this pilot study to get that information.

McDevitt said the temporary change is meant to create an experience people haven’t had before in the park.

“It’s a way to encourage people to use the park in a different way,” she said.

McDevitt said drivers often use the road as an alternate route to avoid traf-

fic on North Walnut Street.

A study conducted in May 2018 found the average daily traffic was 942 cars and the mean speed was 29 mph. The posted speed in the park is 20 mph.

A few Bloomington residents expressed their agreement with the pilot study. Mark Stosberg, member of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Commission, said he’s glad the road is being changed so he and his children can use it without having to deal with cars while they’re walking or biking.

“I think this will be a great asset that will make for a safe and enjoyable experience,” Stosberg said.

The board and members of the public expressed concerns about North Walnut Street not having sufficient sidewalks for people to use to get to the parks. Beth Rosenbarger, planning services manager in Planning and Transportation, said there aren’t any numbers on how many people walk and bike to the park, but she understands North Walnut Street needs fixed so people can get to the park safely.

“The situation and infrastructure could be improved,” Rosenbarger said.

“I think it’s something we need to continue to look at.”

There will be signs posted around the park to help people navigate where they can park their car. Parking lots will be at both ends of Lower Cascades Park and there will be spaces to parallel park.

Barriers at both ends of the park will keep vehicles from driving through. The parking lot near the waterfall shelter past the drivethrough creek crossing will no longer be accessible by car, but the parking lots on both ends of the playground will still be open.

QR codes will be posted at the ends of the park as well so people can take a survey on how they feel about the road closure. The survey will also be available at the park’s website, and McDevitt said people can call with concerns.

McDevitt said she is unsure whether or not the road will continue to be blocked for vehicles after September and that it will depend on visitors’ feedback.

Professor finds Facebook security issues

By Shelby Anderson anderssk@iu.edu | @ShelbyA04288075

Luyi Xing, an assistant professor in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, earned an award from Facebook after discovering security holes in apps that allowed third-party vendors to gain access to people’s Facebook logins. His research has affected an estimated 9.5 million users, according to an IU press release.

Xing won a $30,000 award from Facebook through the Bug Bounty program, IU announced in early February.

The program awards people for finding security holes that companies security teams may have missed. His Facebook research was inspired by the Cambridge Analytica Facebook scandal, in which the data analytics firm harvested the data of up to 87 million people without their consent.

Xing has been working at IU since June 2018 and independently searching for security holes for companies since 2011, when he began his Ph.D. program at IU. “Our research is to protect real world users,” Xing said.

Through his research, he discovered that software development kits owned by other third-party service vendors could steal data from the software development kits belonging to Facebook. Apps have software development kits which allow them to have functions such as logging into external websites using a Facebook account. The kits are created by vendors that do not own the app.

After Xing made this discovery, he notified the app developers so they could fix the issues. Sometimes these solutions can be as simple

as removing the problematic SDKs from the app, but this is only possible when the function SDK provides is not necessary for the app to continue to work, Xing said.

Xing said he wanted the money that he received from the award to go back into his research and supporting research assistants.

Yue Xiao, a Ph.D. student who worked as a research assistant with Xing on this project said the hardest part of the research was the amount of data, as Xiao and Xing went through many apps that each had their own SDKs, said She said she learned many technical skills through this research that she will use in her future career in cyber security, such as program analysis tools and natural language processes, which involves coding and allows computers to understand human languages.

“I’m really proud that the research found helpful information for the users,” Xiao said.

Yuzhen Ye, the interim chair of computer science at the school, said this type of work is becoming increasingly important as security problems become more serious.

“It really demonstrates what impact faculty research can have on the real world,” Ye said.

Kelley MBAs STEMcertified

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

Beginning this semester, the Kelley School of Business will give STEM certifications to those graduating with a Masters of Business Administration in accounting, business analytics, finance, marketing or supply chain and operations, according to an IU press release.

MBAs with majors in those areas of study will include the science, technology, engineering and math certification, according to the release.

A growing number of companies are requiring MBAs to have an understanding of STEM disciplines, according to the business school’s Graduate Career Services office. Since 1990, employment in STEM occupations has grown 80% and STEM jobsoutpace overall job growth in the United States, according to a 2018 Pew Research Center report.

“This designation for our program enables us to more accurately reflect the quantitative nature of our curriculum today and demonstrates how Kelley always adjusts to meet the needs of students, which it frequently has done over its 100-year history,” Idalene Kesner, dean of the business school, said in the release.

“The curriculum at Kelley has evolved to ensure that our students are ready for digitization, artificial intelligence, robotics and data analytics required in 21st-century jobs,” Ash Soni, executive associate dean for academic programs, said in the release. “Our employers appreciate that the STEM designation makes it easier for them to recruit the students who have completed this coursework and are the most prepared to perform in these roles.”

In 2019, the business school’s MBA program was ranked 36th in the world and 27th in the U.S. by the Economist.

“More than ever, we’re producing graduates who can focus on driving datadriven business decisions, solutions and operational insights,” Kyle Cattani, MBA program chair, said in the release. “We believe this reflects what we do well.”

Local women to be honored for work

By Nick Telman ntelman@iu.edu | @telmonster_11

Bloomington will honor five local women for their service to the Bloomington community in honor of Women’s History month in March, according to a press release from the city.

The city of Bloomington Commission on the Status of Women has organized an event series to celebrate Women’s History Month. The theme of the first event date is “Valiant Women of the Vote,” celebrating the centennial of women’s suffrage.

The commission gives awards annually to women for their work in women’s issues, diversity and inclusion.

It will present the Woman of the Year Award, Toby Strout Lifetime Contribution Award, Emerging Leader Award and Young Woman of the Year Award.

The Woman of the Year and Toby Strout Lifetime Contribution awards will be presented at the Women’s History Month luncheon at 12:15 p.m. March 25 at the Monroe Convention Center.

Tickets are $25 per person and must be purchased online before March 23.

The Emerging Leader and the Young Woman of the Year awards will be presented at the Women’s Leadership Development event at 10:30 a.m.

March 28 at City Hall. This event will be free and open to the public.

Woman of the Year awards: Jessika Hane and Tashera Perry The Woman of the Year Award recognizes women who improved the quality of life for other women through inspiration, community service or external professional accomplishments, Bloomington spokesperson Yael Ksander said in an email. The recipient should also be a positive role model for women in the community.

Jessika Hane, adjunct instructor at the IU O’Neill

School of Public and Environmental Affairs, will receive the Woman of the Year Award for her work with multiple nonprofits. Hane served as the marketing committee chair and board president for Cardinal Stage Company, a professional theater company in Bloomington. Hane was a scholarship chair for the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County. While working with the foundation, Hane co-chaired the Thrive By Five endowment initiative, a program to help fund early childhood education.

Hane said she works to encourage women to stand up and give back to their communities.

“I think it’s absolutely all of our times to raise our hands and say yes to things we’re excited about supporting and excited about doing and that’s why I do it, because I want to show other people that if you have a passion for volunteering, that if you have a passion for helping others, that you shouldn’t hold back” Hane said. “You should do as much as you can.”

Hane said she was surprised to receive the award.

“I never thought I would get an award like this when there are always amazing women in our community who are doing so much good work,” Hane said. “I was so surprised and pleased and it’s a big honor.”

The other recipient of the Woman of the Year Award, Dr. Tashera Perry, will receive it for her work on women’s health.Perry is a staff physician and adjunct clinical assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology for the IU School of Medicine and the Medical Science Program, according to the release.

Perry also serves as a fellow for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, member of the American Medical Association, the Indiana State Medical Society and is an ISMA Alternative Delegate for the

Monroe County Owen County Medical Society.

Toby Strout Lifetime Contribution Award: Beth Lodge-Rigal This award recognizes women whose work has advanced the status of women through leadership and service, according to the city’s website.

The award will go to Beth Lodge-Rigal for her work with Women Writing for (a) Change, a creative writing program for women.

Lodge-Rigal established the Bloomington-affiliate of the program in 2004 and has also facilitated writing circles, outreach, retreats and directing programs at the Bloomington school.

The most rewarding part of her work was receiving feedback from participants in her classes, Lodge-Rigal said.

At the end of her sessions, writers would put feedback on index cards to give to her.

“I remember one time early on there were three different cards in one of those classes that we read out loud and they all said this is way more than just a writing class,” she said. “This sounds kind of silly but it was like getting to hear back from people who were doing this that there was more going on than just writing creative nonfiction.”

She said she was pleasantly surprised to receive the award.

“It definitely feels like some kind of validation of this work,” Lodge-Rigal said.

“I mean mostly I feel like I’ve been doing this very much under the radar. It’s one step at a time, building the community from the inside out with Women Writing for (a) Change.”

Emerging Leader Award: Shatoyia Moss The Emerging Leader Award acknowledges a woman who has a relatively short history of achievements but has had an effect on the com-

munity and demonstrated enthusiasm, according the city’s website.

Shatoyia Moss, the city’s safety director, will receive the Emerging Leader Award for her work in issues related to diversity and inclusion.

Moss started the inaugural Black Girl Summit that took place in November 2019, a convention for middle and high school-aged women that featured workshops to empower women of color.

Moss works as a mentor to three young women and is also the chairwoman of Delta Sigma Theta’s Delta Gems program, according to the release. The Delta Gems program provides framework and resources for African American women to plan and develop their careers, according to the Delta Gems website.

Moss did not reply for comment.

Young Woman of the Year Award: Solveig Hicks The award recognizes a woman between the ages of 11 and 18 who has made a positive change in women’s and girl’s issues in the community, according to the release.

Solveig Hicks is a junior at Bloomington North High School. She is the president of the Young Democrats club and founded the school’s chapter of the National Organization for Women. In 2019, she organized a North-South High School reproductive rights rally and in 2017, spearheaded a Tri-North Middle School protest of the school’s dress code.

Hicks said although she’s proud of the work she’s done, there is still a long way to go.

“I’m receiving this award, but I know that in my lifetime, I’ll still be subject to discrimination,” Hicks said. “But that also empowers me to keep fighting to end that.”

Disability institute incorporates research center

By Luzane Draughon luzdraug@iu.edu | @luzdraughon

The Indiana Institute on Disability and Community incorporated the IU Eppley Institute for Parks and Public Lands, IU announced in a Feb. 25 press release.

The IIDC is comprised of six research centers, and the Eppley Institute, which is housed by the School of Public Health, is the seventh. IIDC’s core focus is to do research to make communities more accessible to people with disabilities, IIDC director Derek Nord said. The Eppley Institute seeks to make parks accessible to everyone.

“There is a lot of overlap in our missions,” Nord said.

The IIDC wanted to incorporate the Eppley Institute to reach communities in parks and recreation that they hadn’t yet, he said.

Nord said the inclusion of the Eppley Institute will lead to collaborative work between the two institutes.

Nord said the team at the Eppley Institute will contin-

ue to implement its projects, including consultation with park services and addressing accessibility concerns.

“All people have the right to live, recreate and be fully included in their community,” Nord said in the release. “One’s disability status should not dictate these outcomes.”

The incorporation of the Eppley Institute will provide more job and research opportunities to the IU community, Nord said. The IIDC trains undergraduate and graduate students to work for the Eppley Institute as research assistants.

Eppley Institute executive director Stephen Wolter said the IIDC and Eppley joining together gives the Eppley Institute the ability to work across IU’s campus, rather than only in the School of Public Health. He said it’s powerful to work with different disciplines and students.

“Our mission and values dovetail with the work of the IIDC,” Wolter said in the release. “The projects

conducted by Eppley have had significant impacts to community health, quality of place and experiences for all peoples.”

IU interim vice provost for research Jeff Zaleski said the Eppley Institute’s parks and recreation resources and local volunteers will help the IIDC as well.

The IIDC is one of 21 research centers, institutes and museums the IU-B Office of the Vice Provost oversees, Zaleski said. The IIDC is one of the broadest centers, and he said it’s an example of how to do community-based research in Indiana schools.

“The IIDC is a leader in

interdisciplinary, applied research that advances change in the state and country,” Zaleski said in the release. “Together, the Indiana Institute and programs at Eppley will be even better positioned to create new opportunities for sharing of ideas and innovations that benefit everyone.”

U.S. President Donald Trump tours the Viral Pathogenesis Laboratory on March 3 at National Institutes of Health Vaccine Research Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

Coronavirus death toll climbs to 9 in US KIRKLAND, Wash. — As three more deaths in the United States were linked to the coronavirus Tuesday, the World Health Organization said the mortality rate for the virus has increased to 3.4% as the illness continues its global spread.

Public health officials confirmed a nursing home patient in Washington state was admitted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle on Feb. 24 and died two days later. The patient, a 54-yearold man who had underlying medical conditions, was transported from Life Care Center of Kirkland and died days before several other patients at the nursing home were linked to the coronavirus, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said.

The Seattle and King County Public Health Department on Tuesday reported two additional deaths from the COVID-19 disease, bringing the King County total to eight. The other person who died was from Snohomish County, health officials said.

A North Carolina resident who visited the Kirkland facility has since tested positive for the virus, becoming that state’s first case of COVID-19, Gov. Roy Cooper announced Tuesday. Health department officials in North Carolina are working to identify anyone else who may have come in contact with the individual.

“I know that people are worried about this virus and I want to assure North Carolinians our state is prepared,” Cooper said in a statement, noting that the person represents an isolated case.

The increased global mortality rate — which includes more than 3,000 deaths — is more than double the mortality rate of the flu, which is less than 1%.

WHO Director Tedros Adha-

nom Ghebreyesus said that’s because COVID-19 is a new disease and no one has built up an immunity to it.

In announcing the increase, Tedros reiterated the WHO’s belief that containment of the illness is still possible.

“We don’t even talk about containment for seasonal flu,” Tedros said. “It’s just not possible, but it’s possible for COVID-19.”

Officials say they’ve learned the coronavirus is less transmissible than the flu, which is often spread by infected people without symptoms. That doesn’t seem to be the case for COVID-19, he said.

“There are not yet any vaccines or therapeutics, which is why we must do everything we can to contain it.”

Mike Ryan, who runs the agency’s emergencies program, pushed back against officials who want to “wave the white flag” and surrender to the disease’s hold.

China took drastic steps to fight the virus, he said, and case numbers are now on the decline there.

Countries like China and South Korea “implemented very, very strong measures that have affected their own economies and their own societies,” Ryan said. “It’s really a duty of others to use the time that has been bought.

“That is not a reverse you can achieve with influenza.

If that is a failure, we’ll have slowed down the virus.”

There can be a big benefit in slowing the virus’ arrival in a country for a few months, Ryan said. Many countries, including the U.S., are in the middle of flu season, so large numbers of coronavirus cases would overwhelm the health system.

In Italy, COVID-19 patients and flu patients are already stretching hospitals

and health care facilities, he said.

Tedros said he’s concerned by shortages of masks, gowns and other equipment needed by health care workers to stop the spread of disease “caused by rising demands and hoarding and misuse.”

“We can’t stop COVID-19 without protecting our health workers,” said Tedros, noting that prices of surgical masks have increased sixfold.

Current information suggests that most COVID-19 cases are mild, said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. According to a report out of China, the most serious illnesses occur in 16% of cases, she said, and older people and those with underlying health conditions are twice as likely to develop serious outcomes.

Speaking during a media briefing Tuesday, Messonnier said cases similar to those reported abroad are now appearing in the United States.

The CDC is relying on local health clinicians to determine testing needs. In addition to CDC test kits, commercial manufacturers overseen by the Food and Drug Administration are providing tests directly to states. These types of tests are typically what are on the front lines in the United States, Messonnier said.

As of Monday evening, 60 cases of coronavirus had been diagnosed in the U.S. plus an additional 45 people who were passengers aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan and were repatriated to America. That puts the total at around 105 cases, according to the CDC. The West Coast continues to bear the brunt of the ill-

nesses in the U.S., with the focus on Northern California and Washington.

At least five Northern California counties reported new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, bringing the total in California to nearly 50.

Though the flurry of positive test results in recent days does signal that the virus is circulating within the U.S., experts advised the public to avoid reading too much into those numbers.

Until late last week, federal officials were not allowing widespread testing for the virus, so many people who were already sick are only now being diagnosed, said Harvard epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch.

“Some of the numbers are changing because new things are happening, but a lot of the numbers are changing because we’re discovering things that have already happened,” Lipsitch said in a forum Monday hosted by Harvard’s public health school. “It’s really important to distinguish ‘Oh, goodness, there’s a new cluster’ from ‘Oh, goodness, we just discovered that there’s a cluster that’s been there for some time.’ ” As the virus spreads, officials are trying to push back against Asian American bias and misinformation surrounding the outbreak.

Amid signs that some are staying away from Chinatowns and other Asian communities in the U.S., Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., sharply criticized the xenophobia that has been displayed toward ethnic communities.

“We’ve also seen a rise in racism toward Asian Americans because the virus is associated with China,” she said. “This is unconscionable, and it’s not the American way. People of all ages, races and ethnicities are sus-

ceptible to this disease. Bigotry toward any one group for a virus they have nothing to do with makes no sense.”

Several areas in California have declared local emergencies amid the outbreak. Sonoma County on Monday issued a declaration after announcing two people had been diagnosed with the virus. One infected person returned from a cruise to Mexico 10 days ago and is now hospitalized, but the case “is a cause for concern,” said county health officer Dr. Celeste Philip.

Declaring a state of emergency will allow the county to respond properly to the outbreak as well as “work in tandem with our cities and healthcare providers to ensure we are prepared to combat an outbreak of COVID-19 in our communities,” Philip said in a statement.

Meanwhile, two new COVID-19 cases were reported in Santa Clara County, bringing its total to nine, the most of any California county. Both individuals are under home isolation, officials said.

Many initial reports of COVID-19 have been in health care workers, who are among the most likely to encounter sick patients. Hundreds of health care workers in California have already been asked to stay home due to contact with patients diagnosed with the disease over the last few weeks.

On Monday, Placer County reported a confirmed case of COVID-19 in a health care worker at NorthBay VacaValley Hospital in Vacaville, where a COVID-19 patient had been admitted.

County spokeswoman Katie Combs Prichard said that the medical worker, who lives in Placer County, came into contact with that patient and was likely infected by her.

Conferences in the state

25%

and elsewhere are being canceled or scaled back amid fears of the virus, but the WHO’s Ryan said decisions to cancel mass gatherings, including sporting events, should be determined by a country’s leadership, based on how severe the outbreak is in their region.

Officials recently had a call with the International Olympic Committee to discuss the Summer Olympics scheduled in Tokyo and decided to continue monitoring the situation, with three months given before a decision must be made.

“I have confidence in Japan that there will be hopefully progress,” Tedros said.

“Deciding now could be too early.”

President Donald Trump said Tuesday during a speech to the National Association of Counties’ legislative conference in Washington that he expects Congress will pass a special funding bill providing $8.5 billion — far more than he requested — to fight the spread of the illness in the United States.

“It just shows you what can happen — six weeks ago, eight weeks ago, you never heard of this. All of a sudden, it’s got the world aflutter,” Trump said, noting later while leaving the White House to visit the National Institutes of Health that he is looking at further international travel restrictions involving Italy, Japan and South Korea but will not limit domestic travel.

Student rapper films ‘Next Up’ music video

By Hannah Johnson hanjohn@iu.edu | @hannah_dailey1

Luxury cars. Designer clothes. An entourage.

The only thing missing from IU senior and rapper Agboola Bankole-Hameed’s music video shoot Friday was a glamorous location like New York or L.A., but he doesn’t think you’ll be able to tell the difference.

The music video was for “Next Up,” Bankole-Hameed’s song, which comes out March 20. Filmed in different spots around Bloomington, the video, which is set to come out about a week after the song drops, is lavish enough to compete with the videos of distinguished rappers, Bankole-Hameed said.

“It’s the craziest shit I’ve ever seen,” BankoleHameed, whose rap name is AG Bankrolls, said. “I’ve seen Drake’s videos, and they don’t hold a candle to this.”

When senior BankoleHameed met Sam Koch in his freshman year business presentations class, there was no way of knowing that in three years, the two would be working on a song and music video together. When Koch introduced BankoleHameed to IU wide receiver Jacolby Hewitt, who also raps on the song, they began freestyling about climbing their way to the top. Within one recording session, “Next Up” was born.

“Next Up” is about breaking out onto the music scene and gaining success, which Bankole-Hameed said is reflected in the extravagant, Fast and Furious style of the video.

“It’s about our hunger for more,” Bankole-Hameed said. “We want the recognition for the work we’re putting in.”

Koch, a senior studying marketing and minoring in arts management, produced “Next Up” and was the creative director for the shoot.

He said the video, which is

set to be released about a week after the song, is diverse because of all of the different people involved, many of whom were Chinese international students.

“All different personalities, backgrounds and races just came together,” Koch said. “That’s what music’s about, bringing people together.”

Koch said the video was a community effort, with volunteers bringing their

luxury Mercedes and BMWs and their Off-White and Balenciaga hoodies to be used for the day. As the creative director, Koch was in charge of choosing the filming locations and creating the concept for the video, but the thing he said he’s most proud of is that every person who worked on the project contributed something special.

“Everybody sprinkled in a little bit of their magic into

the video,” Koch said.

Sophomore Joseph Nieto, who filmed and directed the video, said there was no written script for what happened in front of the camera. Once they arrived on location, Nieto said he and his team would spontaneously decide on the angles, lighting and setup.

“Everything just felt organic,” Nieto said. “The energy was just natural, it didn’t feel like we were forc-

ing anything.”

Nieto, who is studying sports media, is editing the video as well. He hasn’t finished the video yet, but he said he hopes to give it a Cole Bennett-esque trippiness by adding fast cuts, color changes and possibly animation.

“My artistic vision is to make people feel that fastpaced energy I felt when I was shooting it,” Nieto said.

Although the song and

video won’t drop for a few weeks, Bankole-Hameed said he’s already eager to start working on other projects. The message of “Next Up” is to keep hustling, which he plans on doing until he makes a name for himself.

“The whole concept was we’re coming for everybody,” Bankole-Hameed said. “We’re next up. When we come, it’s going to take them by storm.”

Left Da’Quincy Pittman smiles while walking to class on his first day back. He doesn’t want to leave Indianapolis, despite the violence. “I gotta stay,” he said. “Too much love, family here.”

Top Right Da’Quincy Pittman, 15, waits for his schedule Feb. 24, his first day back to school since being shot six times in December. “It just hits me sometimes,” he said. “It haunts me.”

Bottom Right Nicole Fama, principal of James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy, looks at one of Da’Quincy Pittman’s scars on the forearm doctors sliced open to dig out a bullet. Pittman endured five surgeries and weeks of rehab.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Fifth Avenue bag that carries a jumble of gauze and ointments — in her desk for when bandages need changed. She doesn’t have any medical training, so she tries to imitate what the wrapping looked like when she first saw it. She’s gotten pretty good.

“When I went to school, school was school,” Grandma says. “But this is everything.”

Phalen’s teachers and administrators have to be nurses, mental health experts, confidants and parents.

“You slide in academics — if you can,” Grandma says. * * * Da’Quincy’s mom is a nursing assistant, but she’d never taken care of a fresh gunshot wound until her son was full of them.

Shirley Collins, 38, has five sons, and she wants them to stay in the house.

“I really can’t trust the world,” she says. “I don’t want to let my kids out of my sight.”

But Da’Quincy has been asking to go back to school, and she thinks he’s ready.

Fama isn’t so sure. A Barack Obama campaign poster and a portrait of Michelle look down from the wall in her office as Da’Quincy explains that he left his arm brace and some of his medicine at home. His mom says he won’t take his vitamins or drink his Ensure. She says he doesn't like physical therapy because his therapist is a man who won’t let him get away with anything.

Grandma is back in the office, pears and carton of milk in hand. She’s beside herself.

“You can’t lose ground!”

Months ago, Da’Quincy was a star wide receiver on the football team. He’s adamant that he’ll play again, anywhere

that will let him, but the adults aren’t convinced. He might have to coach.

Now Fama and Grandma spoon-feed him applesauce.

He doesn’t argue.

He wanders down the hall to his first class, escorted by a friend and looking a little dazed as he navigates a rush of handshakes and hugs.

He tries not to think about the shooting, but sometimes he can’t help it. It gnaws at him. It makes him look over his shoulder. A girl runs up squealing and squeezes him too hard. A teacher chides, “Honey, don’t do that to him!”

In the hall, he runs into Mudder, who was shot just a month before he was. Mudder grins at him, the hard lump of a bullet still lodged between his eyes.

Hero’s welcome over, it’s time for geometry. * * * Almost every student at Phalen knows someone who’s been shot. They hear gunfire as often as thunder.

Taevion, 14, lives at Carriage House, an apartment complex about half a mile from the school, where four young adults were killed a few weeks ago. That night, she rolled out of bed and dropped to the ground.

She drops to the ground about three times a week. She rearranged her room a long time ago so her feet would face the window — so she wouldn’t be shot in the head.

When she hears gunshots, she texts everyone who lives around her “You cool?” or “You straight?” If they don’t respond, she knocks on their doors.

Rashad, 12, knows to turn off all the lights and TVs when he hears shots and hide in his room with his little sister.

When one boy on the basketball team heard gunshots, he lay on top of his grand-

mother to protect her. A group of students were shot at as they walked home from drama practice. A different group was shot at leaving a basketball game. One boy used to stay up all night because he was scared. He’d sleep at school.

Nevaeh’s mom was shot with an AK-47 when she was pregnant with her. And what does the 13-year-old think when she hears gunshots?

“I know somebody finna die. ‘Cause it’s the usual stuff.”

Mudder was riding in a car when he was shot. Da’Quincy was sitting in one. Another Phalen scholar was at a party.

A fourth was in his dad’s front yard. The fifth was on his front porch.

"I keep screaming,” Fama says. “I'm waiting for people to be outraged, and no one is.”

When Mudder was shot on Thanksgiving Day, students started calling and texting her.

She rushed to the hospital and held his hand. The students looked at her like she should be able to fix it. To fix any of it.

“We feed them. We clothe them. We take them places.

We pay for things for them,” she said later. “And so when something bad happens, you know, it's an instinct to run to your parents. I was in tears. I was like, ‘What did you think I could do?’

“I could do a lot, but I can't stop a bullet.” * * * Da’Quincy’s biggest fear was always being shot, but he didn’t think it would actually happen. He doesn’t like needles and couldn't imagine bullets.

He thought he would focus on football and school, and his life would be smooth.

On the night of Dec. 29, he was sitting in a car with a friend, talking on the phone with some girls, when he saw

three men walking up and felt something wasn’t right.

“Lock the doors,” he said, but the men were already climbing in. They demanded everything he had. He told them the truth: He didn’t have anything but his shoes.

“You think I’m playin’?” one asked.

They shot him six times.

No one has been arrested.

Da’Quincy remembers a woman trying to get him to drink bottles of water as they waited for help. He remembers not knowing where the blood was coming from, but knowing his hoodie was drenched. He didn’t realize how many times he’d been hit until the paramedics cut his clothes off in the ambulance and he saw the holes.

When his mother saw him on the hospital bed, she passed out.

“I’m sorry,” he told her.

“I’m sorry.”

He remembers being hooked up to all the machines. He remembers being calm. He thought of the bullet rooted in Mudder’s forehead.

He remembers not crying.

“I swear to God, I didn’t think I was going to make it.”

He came to school a few weeks after the shooting because he wanted to talk to the football team. Before, he was an athlete. Sitting in front of them in his Pac-Man pajamas, he told them he couldn’t lift a spoon to his mouth. He couldn’t wipe himself.

He had a message for them.

“This ain’t what we need to go through,” he said. “Stay in the house where you safe.” * * * Phalen is supposed to expand to offer 11th grade next year, but that project is nearing a standstill. At least $1.2 million is needed just to open the doors in the fall.

One Monday afternoon,

Fama launches into a series of tense meetings about how they’re going to make that happen. They have no idea.

“We’ve had our backs against the wall before,” Grandma reminds her. “We’ll just wait and see what happens.”

But Fama’s tired.

A dog park in Broad Ripple just got a $600,000 facelift. The City of Carmel took out loans to help fund a luxury hotel project that's now more than $18 million over budget.

Some kids at Phalen are going home to places where the lights being on isn’t a given. They’re begging for more after-school activities to stay where it’s safe for just a little while longer. But until the renovations are done, Phalen is out of space.

A boy came in earlier that morning and asked Fama’s dad, Coach, for something dry to wear. He had missed the bus and walked an hour to school so his mom wouldn’t whoop him. He was drenched. Coach dutifully put his clothes in the dryer and found him a sweatshirt.

Fama doesn’t have the $3.5 million she needs to build her scholars a gym, and she doesn’t know where she’s going to get it.

“You take better care of dogs than you do children on the east side,” she says. But she’s talking to herself. * * * Mr. Dwenger launches into his lesson on finding the volume of a sphere.

Da’Quincy puts his head in his hands. The student sitting behind him answers every question. Da’Quincy plays with his shoelaces and picks at his lip. His foot, full of nerves still fried from when the bullet shattered his femur, is aching.

An announcement over the loudspeaker reminds everyone tomorrow is school pic-

ture day.

Da’Quincy makes it 18 minutes into geometry.

He limps back to Fama’s office, calculator in his back pocket, and doesn’t stop to talk to anyone this time. He’s so irritated with how much his foot aches, he can’t think about anything else. He opens Fama’s door.

“Already, my sweetheart?” she asks.

He spends the rest of the morning with the nurse, lying with his knees tucked to his chest, knit blanket pulled over his head, curtain drawn around him. The signs on the wall tell him he’s brave and tough and important, and remind him to stay hydrated and wash his hands.

He tries to go to the bathroom, but he feels like his body is shutting down. He collapses to the floor.

He has to be helped back to bed, and he’s mad. He wants to be able to do things himself.

Da’Quincy knows he’s pushed it too far today, but he assures the nurse he feels OK now. She calls Mom anyway.

“It might just be too much for him to be here today,” she says quietly.

When Mom arrives, they settle Da’Quincy into a wheelchair and help him into her minivan. He promises he’s going to take his iron pills and be back tomorrow.

Sometimes he thinks people assume he's going to fall and crash. But he’s determined not to.

“I feel like they don’t understand that I want better than what most people expect,” he says.

He prays he’ll make it. He prays for better days. He trusts God’s plan for him.

This week, despite six gunshots, five surgeries and weeks spent relearning how to be a teenager, the boy who hates needles but is full of metal turned 16.

The restaurant will serve items such as salads, flat breads and soups. ReVv and Strum Hospitality plans to open the restaurant around the middle of the summer.

“It’ll be the place to go for nourishment,” he said.

Pafford plans to roll out a

market, catering restaurant and service called Capisce Market this summer as well.

To top it all off, Pafford and his company plan to open a high-end seafood restaurant and oyster bar called Top Bar. He said seafood will be flown in from all over the world and the wine and cocktail list will be extensive.

“It’s primarily about being over the top,” Pafford said.

There will be a dance

floor and dueling grand pianos as well, all on the top floor of the building the other restaurants will be in.

Top Bar will overlook City Hall and the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market, Pafford said. The bar will have an open sky concept with awnings and heaters for bad weather, so it can stay open year-round. Top Bar is slated to open in late summer before students are back in Bloomington.

MC Webb, who handles

Sophomore Grace Berger is introduced as part of the starting lineup Feb. 27 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Berger averages 13.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

Grace Berger has become a leading voice for IU

By Sam Bodnar sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

The rhythm of her dribbling was the heartbeat of the Berger household.

When the sun was out, Grace Berger played one-on-one against her older sister Abby in the driveway.

Late at night, Grace practiced her ball handling inside the garage below her sister’s room.

Abby counted each bounce of

the ball instead of counting sheep.

With every dribble, Grace envisioned her dream of playing Division I basketball.

“When I first picked up a basketball, I just fell in love with it,” Grace said.

Grace, 20, is a sophomore and starting guard for IU women’s basketball. Since coming off the bench in most games her freshman year, she has become a cornerstone of the Hoosiers’ offense. She averages 13.3

Middle Freshman Grace Waggoner talks to sophomore Grace Berger on Jan. 27 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Berger’s work on the court and in the weight room prepared her to be one of the Hoosier’s starting five.

points and 5.1 rebounds while playing 34.2 minutes per game.

Before she entered Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, Grace said a conversation with her Amateur Athletic Union coach Tim Barnett alerted her to the possibility of never reaching her goal. Before she started high school, Barnett told her that her quiet demeanor hindered her leadership abilities.

If she wanted to have success in high school and achieve her dreams of playing at the Division I level, she would need to become more vocal and grow in her confidence as a leader.

The opportunity to pursue her passion in a leadership role came in her freshman year at Sacred Heart Academy in Louisville, Kentucky. Although Grace was just a freshman, her veteran teammates looked up to her.

When teammates had rough days or needed encouragement, Grace was the first to text them after practices or pull them aside for a conversation. Sacred Heart head coach Donna Moir said Grace’s pride in caring for her teammates and becoming a better leader was infectious.

Grace also grew by studying film from games with her dad, the person she shares the deepest love of basketball with.

“He’s always been such a good dad to me, and he puts an emphasis on how I could separate myself by my actions and lead by my actions,” Grace said.

While rewatching different plays, the two strategized on how Grace could improve her playmaking decisions. This enabled her to use these lessons as opportunities to see the floor differently and get her teammates more involved on the offense.

“They were always on a different level of conversation than I was,” Abby said. “I understand basketball, but it’s a whole new level with them.”

Grace’s dad also took her to watch women’s basketball games during high school at the University of Louisville. After the games, Grace walked onto the court and spoke with players such as Shoni Schimmel. The post-game conversations gave Grace the chance to ask ques-

tions about how to become a better leader and competitor.

With motivation from her father and her favorite players, Grace formed a deeper bond with her teammates and in her junior year led the Valkyries to their seventh district championship.

“You knew she’d be a D1 athlete before she ever walked into Sacred Heart,” Moir said. “When she said something, you knew to pay attention.”

Grace earned recognition in 2018 as a finalist for Kentucky Miss Basketball and a five-star ranking by ESPN. She committed to IU in her junior year after meeting head coach Teri Moren.

“Coach Moren constantly talked about the future of the program and where she wanted to take it, the vision she had for it and the part that she thought I could play in that,” Grace said.

“When I first picked up a basketball, I just fell in love with it.”

Grace Berger, IU women’s basketball starting guard

IU had just won the 2018 NIT tournament and lost its all-time leading scorer in Tyra Buss when Grace arrived on campus. As the coaching staff reconfigured its plans for the season, Grace needed time getting comfortable and familiar with a new role on her new team.

Her signature pull-up jumpshot and flashy dribbling were helpful components of the IU offense her freshman year. But with many voices on the 2018-19 Hoosier roster, Grace said she was passive and shied away from being the vocal leader that she was at Sacred Heart.

Although Grace would need a full year to gain the confidence she has now, like most freshmen, the guard took advantage of the moments to listen when she wasn’t speaking.

Grace observed the communication and embraced the encouragement coming from veterans like IU alumna Kym Royster. Royster remembered what it was like to be a freshman away from home and reminded Grace about the importance of communication and leading by example.

Grace said Royster would text after tough practices, a reminder of what she used to do at Sacred Heart. The former Hoosier also motivated Grace to shoot with confidence and become a contributor that the team needed. She was determined to use those observations for her benefit.

In the final five games of her freshman season, Grace nearly doubled her scoring average. She felt confident to shoot more, which helped the Hoosier offense in her first tournament appearance.

Grace was one of the top scorers in IU’s second-round loss to the University of Oregon in the 2019 NCAA tournament. She played 23 minutes off the bench, scoring 11 points and finishing with four rebounds.

The thrill of the tournament experience, combined with a desire

to contribute more to the team, motivated Grace to train over the summer.

“It was hard for me last year because I couldn’t help my team succeed,” Grace said. “There were times where they needed me to come off the bench, and I wasn’t necessarily ready to do that. So that pushed me to want to work harder during the off-season.”

Grace shot thousands of 3-pointers and worked on her ball handling in the summer months.

Moir said she received thank you texts from IU assistant coach Rhet Wierzba who was helping the rising sophomore.

With five freshmen arriving the fall of 2019, Grace’s work on the court and in the weight room prepared her to join junior guard Ali Patberg as a starter in the backcourt.

Her highest-scoring game of the season and first career double-double cameJan. 27 against Minnesota.

IU shot just 33% in the opening quarter and needed someone to step up. Grace turned the game around.

The sophomore scored the final 10 points of the second quarter and IU’s first eight of the third. This prompted Minnesota head coach Lindsay Whalen to yell “Get her!” whenever the ball touched Grace’s fingertips.

A road game against Nebraska on Feb. 9 marked the first time in her career when Grace had the chance to win the game for IU. She had missed 10 shots that night, some contested and some open layups. Her hands turned red from hitting them in frustration, but in spite of her shooting struggles, the starters and coaches cheered her on.

The game was tied with just 38 seconds remaining. The Hoosiers needed a basket, and they looked to Grace.

Freshman forward Jorie Allen and junior guard Keyanna Warthen shouted “she can’t guard you” when Grace got the ball off the inbound.

The sophomore leaned into her teammates’ trust.

“When you hear that from your peers, it doesn’t matter what I say,” Moren said. “What matters is what her teammates think of her.”

Crossing the ball from her left to right hand, Grace drove toward the right side of the basket, dribbled past two defenders and finished with a reverse layup. Her teammates went from sitting on the edge of their seats to high- fiving their star guard who had given IU the lead and seconds later, the win.

Grace embraces her dad and Abby when they walk onto the court. Her dad comes to every home game, and Abby comes to most. They used to watch Grace ask collegiate athletes for autographs and leadership advice.

Now, she’s given the Sharpie and offers words of wisdom for younger basketball players.

“It’s easy for me to give them advice because it doesn’t feel like that long ago that I was that little girl going up to players after the game and just admiring their every move,” Grace said. “I realize how big of an impact I can have on them. It’s really special to me and something I take really seriously.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

IU looks ahead to Big Ten Tournament matchups

By Will Trubshaw wtrubsha@iu.edu | @Willtrubs

No. 20 IU women’s basketball finished its best regular season in program history Sunday with a 78-60 win over Michigan.

Now the team will turn its focus to the Big Ten Tournament, where it will begin play at 2:30 Friday. The Hoosiers are the fourth seed and earned a double bye due to their 13 Big Ten wins this season.

IU’s 23 wins are the most it has ever had entering postseason tournament play, and ties the most ever in program history.

The team has also spent a program best 17 straight weeks in the AP Top 25.

The Hoosiers never once dropped out of the top 25 and reached as high as No.12.

But in the postseason, records and rankings don’t matter all that much since every game is a single elimination. That’s where upsets can come into play.

The team’s No. 4 ranking in the tournament means it will have to wait a couple days before it knows who it’s playing Friday afternoon.

Until then, here’s what the Hoosiers will need to do to make their way through the Big Ten Tournament and win the championship for the first time since 2002.

IU’s history in the Big Ten Tournament Historically, the Hoosiers haven’t had a great deal of

success in the Big Ten Tournament, with a record 17-26 in 25 previous tournament appearances.

Including the title run in 2002, IU has won multiple games in the tournament only three times. The Hoosiers have not won more than one game since 2006.

IU has won each of its last two tournament opening games. A win Friday would put the Hoosiers into the semifinals.

Quarterfinal matchup IU’s first game of the tournament will be against the winner of the Wisconsin and Rutgers or Illinois matchup Thursday.

Illinois and Wisconsin play at noon Wednesday to determine who plays Rutgers on Thursday. IU went 3-0 against Illinois and Wisconsin this season.

Rutgers finished with an 11-7 conference record, right behind IU for fifth in the Big Ten. IU came out on top in the lone meeting between the two schools this season. The Hoosiers won 66-56 at the RAC in Piscataway, New Jersey, on New Year’s Eve. Junior guard Jaelynn Penn led IU offensively with 14 points, while Rutgers junior guard Arella Guirantes led all scorers with 23 points.

Semifinal matchup If IU wins its quarterfinal game Friday, it will go on to play the winner of Michigan State and Maryland or Purdue at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

CLAIRE LIVINGSTON | IDS

Junior Jaelynn Penn attempts a shot Feb. 27 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. IU will compete in the Big Ten Championships at 2:30 p.m. March 6 in Indianapolis.

The Hoosiers would most likely play Maryland on Saturday, barring a major upset.

The Terrapins are No. 6 in the country and won 14 straight games to finish off the regular season as co-Big Ten champion with Northwestern. Maryland is the favorite to win the Big Ten tournament this year.

Maryland won both meetings against IU in the

regular season — a 76-62 win at home and a 79-69 win at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall two weeks later.

Sophomore guard Grace Berger, who was just named to the coaches’ All-Big Ten First team, led IU with 21 points in the first game. Junior guard Ali Patberg, a consensus All-Big Ten First teamer, scored 16 in the second meeting.

If these two teams meet

in the semifinal, it would be the first time since the Terrapins joined the Big Ten that they face off against each other in the tournament.

Final matchup If IU wins in the semifinal, it would most likely play either Northwestern or Iowa in the final — the tournament’s two and three seeds respectively.

The Wildcats had their best year in 30 years, and the

BASEBALL

Hawkeyes are looking to repeat as tournament champs.

IU lost against both teams this year, including a double-overtime thriller at Iowa and a heartbreaking loss at home against Northwestern.

If IU wins out in the tournament, there is a chance it could reclaim a top-four seed and home court advantage for the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

IU remains undefeated at home with two weekend wins

IU loses to Ole Miss 9-5 on Sunday

By Sarah Kress sekress@iu.edu | @sarakress4

IU baseball lost its final game this weekend in the Keith LeClair Classic in Greenville, North Carolina, ending a six-game winning streak it secured after the first two games.

The team went 2-1 in the tournament. It beat No. 17 East Carolina University 11-5 on Friday and High Point University 5-1 on Saturday. It then lost to No. 13 University of Mississippi 9-5 on Sunday, bringing the team’s record to 6-3 for the season.

The Hoosiers had a slow start offensively Sunday.

They didn’t get a hit until the fourth inning, when the Hoosiers hit a pair of solo home runs by sophomore outfielder Grant Richardson and senior infielder Jordan Fucci.

Ole Miss started out strong during the game with a two-run home run from junior infielder Tyler Keenan in the first inning. It had two other two-run home runs in the game, one from freshman catcher Hayden Dunhurst in the fourth inning and one from sophomore infielder Kevin Graham in the seventh.

The Hoosiers managed to tie the score 5-5 in the sixth inning. Richardson and junior outfielder Elijah

ALEX DERYN | IDS

Then-sophomore left-handed pitcher Tommy Sommer pitches the ball against the University of Louisville on May 14, 2019, at Bart Kaufman Field. IU lost to Ole Miss 9-5 Sunday.

Dunham both hit singles, and senior catcher Collin Hopkins was hit by a pitch, loading the bases. The Rebels’ redshirt freshman pitcher Logan Savell then walked freshman outfielder Hunter Jessee, which allowed Richardson to score. Junior infielder Cooper Trinkle hit a two-runs-batted-in double to tie the score.

Ole Miss scored four runs in the seventh inning, and IU was unable to gain back the deficit. The Hoosiers had a runner on third in both the seventh and the eighth innings but couldn’t bring either one home. IU stranded eight runners on base during the game.

Junior pitcher Tommy Sommer pitched a careerhigh number of innings with eight and two-thirds innings Saturday against High Point, coming one out away from pitching a full game.

Sommer was taken out in the ninth inning when the bases were loaded with the tying run at the plate.

Junior pitcher Connor Manous relieved him and struck out the final batter to secure the win for IU. Sommer only allowed five hits in the eight and two-thirds innings he pitched, and he struck out five batters.

He led the team with a defense that shut down

most of High Point’s attempts to score.

The Hoosiers’ defense was not as strong in their first game of the weekend.

Three of East Carolina’s five runs were unearned, and a fourth was scored on a wild pitch.

The team’s win over East Carolina was largely due to its hitting ability. IU had 15 hits and caused East Carolina to use eight pitchers.

The Hoosiers started the game hitting strong when Fucci hit a double that allowed Dunham and Richardson to score.

Richardson hit a two-run home run in the third inning.

The game remained close until IU pulled away at the end. Fucci hit another RBI double in the seventh inning, and junior infielder Drew Ashley hit a threerun home run in the eighth, bringing the score to its final 11-5.

Senior pitcher Braden Scott also helped IU beat East Carolina.

He came in for starting pitcher sophomore Gabe Bierman in the fifth inning and pitched four innings without allowing a run. He struck out seven of the 15 batters he faced.

IU played Purdue at 3:05 p.m. Wednesday at Bart Kaufman Field for its first home game of the season.

In a two-match weekend, IU men’s tennis remained undefeated at home while picking up its first win against a ranked opponent this year.

A 7-0 win against Drake University on Friday was followed up by a 5-2 victory over No. 25 Dartmouth College on Saturday. The Hoosiers lost to both schools the previous two seasons.

Now 8-3, IU has won its last five matches. The Hoosiers came in at No. 49 in the country this week on the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s rankings, their first appearance on the rankings this season.

IU faced three ranked opponents earlier in the season, losses to No. 4 University of Texas at Austin, No. 31 Middle Tennessee State University and No. 39 Vanderbilt University.

“I’m a big, big believer in confidence,” Wurtzman said. “And I think just winning a few matches in a row like we did, even though it was some tight matches and some tight 4-3s, I think it gave us more confidence.”

The weekend started smoothly for the Hoosiers against a struggling Bulldogs squad. Drake came to Bloomington 3-12, but Wurtzman said Drake’s poor record wasn’t his focus. Rather, Wurtzman said he focused on the strong opponents the Bulldogs have faced.

“You can kind of think that the more matches they

get under their belt, either win or lose, the more experience they get, and then that can turn into some wins,” Wurtzman said.

Junior Andrew Redding clinched the match for IU at 4-0 while all seven points were played out. He defeated Matija Matic in straight sets 6-1, 7-6 (7-5).

Redding trailed 5-1 in the tiebreak but fired off six straight points to finish the match.

“I just really wanted to get it done in two sets, and I just really focused and got really serious about it, didn’t want to give him any free chances,” Redding said. “So I just stayed focused and played point by point and was able to bring it back at the end there.”

IU has gotten off to quick starts during its five-match win streak. The match against Dartmouth marked the sixth competition in a row IU has won the doubles point, but it had to work a little harder for it Saturday. Two matches went 7-5 in the Hoosiers’ favor after dropping the first doubles match 6-3.

“Today was a good example of it getting a little bit closer,” Wurtzman said.

“And I think that it is really good that it got close, but we’re still able to pull out the match.”

Freshman Luka Vukovic sealed the win for IU. This is the first match Vukovic has had the chance to finish off for the Hoosiers.

“That was a good feeling,” Vukovic said. “It was nice to kind of get the win for the team.”

HILLS TO DIE ON

Women in Indiana’s history are overlooked.

Here are a few.

Kaitlyn Radde, she/her is a sophomore in political science

Here at IU, and in society more broadly, we are surrounded by the legacies of men. IU has never had a woman president, and Indiana has never had a woman governor nor a woman U.S. senator.

It is a shame and a disservice that women’s history is not a larger part of education in the U.S., especially given how many women overcame the systemic obstacles to make a difference without any formal channels of power available to them. March is Women’s History Month — the perfect time to learn about the Hoosier women whose shoulders we stand on.

ON BOARD WITH JACOB

Don’t let the state cut public transit funding Jacob deCastro, he/him is a junior in journalism.

By all measures, IndyGo, Indianapolis’ public transportation operator, is on the rise.

Ridership is up 8% yearover-year, IndyGo announced last week. The Red Line, the country’s first all-electric bus rapid transit line, opened in September, and planning on two more BRT lines is underway.

So it’s only fitting that the Indiana Senate wants to stop IndyGo’s momentum by cutting funding.

This isn’t funding allocated by the state, either. This is funding that nearly 60% of Marion County taxpayers said “yes” to when they voted in 2016 to support a 0.25% income tax increase for improving public transit.

State Sen. Aaron Freeman, R-Indianapolis, authored an amendment to H.B. 1279 — a bill that has nothing to do with Indianapolis — that would let the state take 10% of IndyGo’s income tax revenue unless it can pay for at least 10% of annual expenses with privately raised funds. The Senate passed the amendment Thursday.

Freeman argues that IndyGo should have seen this coming. Legislation passed in 2014 requires counties that raise income taxes for public transit to also set up nonprofits to raise private funds, with

JACOB DECASTRO | IDS

An IndyGo Red Line bus arrives at 54th Street and College Avenue. The Indiana State Senate voted Feb. 27 on an amendment that would cut IndyGo funding if it cannot raise money from private funds.

the goal of privately funding 10% of expenses. The new bill would penalize Marion County for not meeting the goal.

In fact, IndyGo did see this coming. The Indianapolis Public Transportation Foundation incorporated in 2018 and received nonprofit status last summer. The foundation is on its way to start raising funds to comply with the law.

But it shouldn’t have to.

We don’t require the Indiana Department of Transportation to set up a foundation to raise private funds to repair highways, so why do we expect IndyGo to?

The state isn’t allocating money to IndyGo that it would’ve otherwise spent on other projects because of the transit referendum. It is dedicated transit tax dollars that people in Indianapolis voted

for.

By taking away money from IndyGo, Indianapolis City-County Councillor Ali Brown argues that the state would be disproportionately harming vulnerable Indianapolis residents.

“It’s an attack on people of color, it’s an attack on lowincome communities. It’s an attack on our most vulnerable populations in the county,” Brown said. “The state needs to leave us alone and let us govern because we know what’s better for Indianapolis.”

The Indiana General Assembly believes in limited government — until it doesn’t.

The state prohibits local governments from regulating guns or setting a local minimum wage. City governments can’t force landlords to accept public housing vouchers or

ban plastic bags.

And now, state lawmakers want to cut funding for a service taxpayers want.

This couldn’t have come at a worse time for IndyGo. Planners are working on a new grid-based route system to increase service. IndyGo is also finalizing routes for bus rapid transit lines to connect the airport to the east suburb of Cumberland and the northeast suburb of Lawrence to downtown.

“IndyGo has already made changes to the network to increase service and plans for future capital projects with a goal of a 70% increase in service,” IndyGo spokesperson Faith Chadwick said in a statement. “The amendment, as it’s written today, would jeopardize IndyGo’s ability to implement the plan voters supported, and the additional service IndyGo has already introduced.”

So what’s next for the amendment?

The bill has not passed out of the Indiana Senate yet.

It will first need to pass the Senate before going back to the House for approval of the amendments.

“Call your senators, don’t stop calling your senators.

Send them an email,” Brown said. “Just keep calling them, telling them that Indianapolis knows what’s best.” jdecastr@indiana.edu

ALLYSON’S ANGLE

Indiana legislators shouldn’t criminalize panhandling Allyson McBride, she/her is a sophomore in English and political science.

A bill that would essentially prohibit panhandling in downtown Indianapolis is advancing in the Statehouse.

It’s illegal to panhandle by bus stops, restaurants’ sidewalk dining areas and cars parked or stopped on public streets. An Indiana House committee amended Senate bill 335, passed by the Senate last month, to increase the distance of panhandling from within 20 feet of a bank or an ATM to 50 feet, the Indianapolis Star reported Sunday. The amendment also extends the restriction to public monuments and locations where “financial transactions” occur, including businesses, restaurants, public parking garages and parking meters.

The amended bill would violate free speech and make the lives of the extremely poor more difficult. The House amendment should be reversed because people experiencing homelessness have a legal right to ask for assistance in public spaces.

The bill must be finalized before the Indiana General Assembly’s legislative session ends on March 14. This amendment will not stop homelessness, but hide it.

Think of how many parking meters are around Bloomington. Panhandlers would be completely pushed

out of highly trafficked areas such as Kirkwood.

Homelessness has been a significant issue for supporters of the bill in Indianapolis.

Representatives from the Indy Chamber, Visit Indy, Hilton Indianapolis and Downtown Indy voiced their support for the amendment in a hearing Thursday, according to RTV6 Indianapolis. More than $242 million from 52 conventions have been either put at risk or lost since 2012 because of panhandling and homelessness, according to estimates by Visit Indy in an Indianapolis Star article.

Indy Chamber general counsel Tim Brown told RTV6 Indianapolis that he was worried about aggressive and threatening panhandlers.

However, it is already illegal for panhandlers to use communication to make an individual feel unsafe or compelled to donate and follow or touch an individual without their consent.

This amendment doesn’t target threatening panhandlers. It targets all panhandlers.

“It’s insincere because its masking as some sort of regulation, but it’s actually a complete prohibition, given how broad it applies to prohibit panhandling within 50 feet of parking meters,” Ken Falk, the legal director of ACLU of Indiana, told RTV6 Indianapolis.

The amendment was modeled after a 2011 ordinance in San Antonio, Texas, that prohibited panhandling within 50 feet of parking meters, ATMs, banks and entrances and exits of restaurants. The proposed Indiana law would add public monuments and entrances and exits of businesses to the list.

By making the limitations so strict, this amendment serves as a broad prohibition of panhandling. This is not only morally questionable, but also unconstitutional.

“It’s a blatantly unconstitutional attack on free speech,” Katie Blair, director of advocacy and public policy for the ACLU of Indiana, told the Indianapolis Star.

A 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision about free speech was used to strike down a panhandling ban in Springfield, Illinois, and could also be used to overturn this amendment if it passes.

The bill is also unnecessarily restrictive to people experiencing homelessness.

A 2017 study by IU’s Public Policy Institute found that 96% of surveyed panhandlers in Indianapolis were experiencing homelessness.

Health issues, disability, lack of identification and criminal history are some of the barriers to employment that the panhandlers listed. Downtown panhandlers make less than $20 a day on average, and 86% of panhandlers use

that money to buy food.

Homelessness and panhandling will not be solved by making downtown offlimits. The amendment only pushes homeless people out of sight.

Indianapolis attempted to get to the root of the problem in 2018 by initiating a plan to end homelessness in the city by 2023 through creating more housing units and resources for people experiencing homelessness.

Last May, the city began to pay homeless people for performing beautification services, such as picking up litter, on the sidewalks where they would otherwise be panhandling.

These are the kinds of initiatives that will create meaningful change and help raise the homeless population of Indianapolis out of poverty.

More effort should be put into supporting these programs instead of restricting the rights of people experiencing homelessness.

Treating people experiencing homelessness with dignity and offering them a real alternative to panhandling will do more to address the city’s problems than any restrictions would.

Thinking about people who panhandle as liabilities for businesses instead of human beings who have rights and need help is not going to help anyone. allymcbr@iu.edu

Elinor Ostrom One of the few women whose name appears around campus is Nobel Prize winner Elinor Ostrom, who was a political science professor at IU from 1965-1991 and remained involved with IU until 2009.

She won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2009 as a political scientist for her book “Governing the Commons,” and she is the first and only woman to have won the prize. Her book refuted the economic idea of the “tragedy of the commons,” or the idea that areas without formal ownership will be overconsumed and exploited because of individual selfinterest and demonstrated that public spaces can be successfully managed without central authorities or privatization.

The evidence she marshaled and the influence of this work cannot be overstated. She showed that human beings are able to self-govern and effectively manage resources without authority, public or private.

Her research taught us not only about economics but about human nature, and more Hoosiers and Americans should be familiar with her work.

The Henry County Female Anti-Slavery Society HCFASS was a group of Indiana women, largely Quakers, who were committed to the end of slavery. Although women did not have the right to vote, they were determined to use their privilege as free, white women to help others become free, as exemplified by many of their statements.

This group of women was committed to activism and human rights in a time when it was uncomfortable and dangerous for anyone, especially women, to do so.

They made bold statements about the role of women and women’s agency in public spaces, and showed that even with little or no access to formalized power, courage matters.

The work of women abolitionists should be celebrated more broadly, not

just because of the justice of their cause but also because of the courage and cleverness it took to advance a cause without formal power.

Lillian Thomas Fox Lillian Thomas Fox was a black journalist who became the first black writer for a white newspaper in Indiana. Hired in 1900 by the Indianapolis News, she used her column to showcase the lives of black Indianapolis residents.

As her career progressed, she traveled to cover national issues and advocate for economic independence for African Americans, and many historians credit her as integral in building a bridge between the white and black communities of Indianapolis.

Fox was also an activist.

In 1903, she teamed up with Indianapolis’s first black woman physician, Beulah Wright Porter, to found the Indianapolis Women’s Improvement Club. At a time when health care was just as racially separate and unequal as everything else, her organizing via this club and others helped improve the health and lives of countless black Hoosiers and raise awareness about the issues they faced.

Her journalism and activism lifted the voices of marginalized groups, especially women of color, in a time when that was desperately needed. She should be a central figure in Indiana history, and we should carry her example with us through Women’s History Month and through our lives.

Eleanor Barker Eleanor Barker was a leading suffragist in Indiana and an early pioneer for women in the legal profession. She had leading roles in many pro-women’s suffrage groups and was influential in bringing the victory of women’s suffrage about.

As a lawyer, she fought for women’s rights outside of suffrage as well. For example, she worked to get protection for women workers under Indiana’s industrial bureau and was successful in limiting working hours. She also fought to maintain fair prices during World War I to protect families from wartime inflation.

By the time Barker died in 1971, she had lived a full life of fighting for the rights of women Hoosiers. Women aspiring to be lawyers should look up to her and keep her example of activism and progress in mind.

There are countless women not on this list. I encourage you to take this as a starting point and use Women’s History Month to learn more about the women who made our lives, careers and social realities possible. kradde@iu.edu

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

Top prospect Joe Burrow could be the magic pill for the Cincinnati Bengals Bradley Hohulin is a freshman in sports media.

Do you suffer from perennial disappointment? Do you feel like a visitor in your nearly empty home Paul Brown Stadium? Do you spend your nights gingerly stroking a Ken Anderson trading card from the mid-’70s?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Bengals loyalism affects thousands throughout southwest Ohio every day. All too often, the harsh December winter strips morale from these poor men and women, replacing it with questionable hires and empty promises.

But that masochistic cycle of false optimism and crushing reality need not continue.

For a beautiful black and orange tomorrow, talk to your general manager about drafting Joe Burrow today.

In a landscape of generational talents, Burrow stands as the premiere quarterback prospect. With active ingredients like pocket presence and deep ball accuracy, he can

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Former Louisiana State University football quarterback Joe Burrow throws the ball.

grant relief to your festering sore of a franchise in no time.

Burrow has been proven to increase explosivity and boost scoring efficiency in chronically fatigued offenses. Even Louisiana State University, a program that for a decade seemed to deny the existence of the forward pass, was given new life by Burrow.

Through 15 trials with the Tigers, Burrow’s production

was unrivaled, outperforming other leading market competitors Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts.

Burrow has shown the ability to rejuvenate one’s career. Just ask LSU head coach Ed Orgeron, who was once marred by the reputation of a commander who couldn’t contend with the big dogs in his conference.

“I remember sitting on the

sofa at my house watching SEC games, going ‘I know I can compete with these guys given the right place,’” he said.

That place was Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Though Orgeron’s tenure once involved annual embarrassment by the University of Alabama, a steady dose of Burrow propelled him to 2019’s Associated Press Coach of the Year award.

While a self-professed weakness for calorie-laden Cajun delicacies could eventually yield concerns for Orgeron, the health of his team is unquestionable.

“We wouldn’t be here without Joe Burrow,” Orgeron said.

Burrow is most potent when administered alongside a revolutionary offensive tactician such as passing coordinator Joe Brady. A roster rich in NFL-caliber wideouts is also likely to enhance Burrow’s efficacy.

Side effects of consuming Burrow include adrenaline spikes and raised heart rate from circus-act throws and mind-boggling athletic feats.

Loss of sleep may occur on Sunday and Monday nights when the Bengals are inevitably placed in an overhyped prime time matchup which they stand no chance of winning. Exercise caution when obsessively combing through your Burrow-led fantasy football lineup, as repeated scrolling can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome.

Those who choose Burrow might develop bloated, unre-

alistic hopes.

Consult your front office immediately if you experience an unprecedented dropoff in quarterback rating or a disruption of locker room chemistry, as these are clear signs of a draft bust.

Burrow is not intended for use in conjunction with an inadequate coaching staff. He is not a substitute for a complete offensive line nor an actual game plan.

After taking Burrow, wait at least eight games before operating with heavy expectations. Failure to do so will worsen the risk of letdown and heartbreak.

Stop living with ineptitude on the sidelines and mediocrity on the field. It is time to reclaim from the Cleveland Browns the coveted next-tolast spot in the AFC North.

With Burrow on your depth chart, a blowout loss in the first round of the playoffs is just a few seasons away.

Joe Burrow. Because if not him, “who dey” think will make the Bengals remotely watchable? bhohulin@iu.edu

IU falls to Illinois 67-66 to end road schedule

No. 22 IU beats Michigan in final game of regular season

By Will Trubshaw wtrubsha@iu.edu | @Willtrubs

No. 22 IU women’s basketball finished the regular season on a high note at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

IU defeated Michigan 78-60 on Sunday to put the finishing touches on a historic regular season. IU set program records with 23 regular season wins and 17 weeks spent in the AP Top 25. The Hoosiers were ranked every week of the season.

From an upset over nowNo. 1 University of South Carolina at the Paradise Jam in November to a program-record 13 conference wins, IU finished the season much the way it began — balanced scoring on offense and lockdown defense that turned a three point lead to a 20-point lead in the second half. IU had seven players score at least once and four different players in double digits Sunday, led by junior guard Ali Patberg’s 21 points.

It was the fourth-straight game in which Patberg scored over 20 points. She scored 16 of her 21 points in the second half.

Michigan started the game out 5-6 from the field, but IU used an 11-0 run to finish the first quarter up 19-16. The Wolverines kept it close in the sec-

Junior Jaelynn Penn attempts a shot Feb. 27 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. IU defeated Michigan on March 1 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 78-60.

78-60 ond quarter, trading buckets with the Hoosiers, but sophomore forward Aleksa Gulbe’s nine first-half points led a balanced offense.

Out of halftime, the Hoosiers took over and outscored the Wolverines 22-12 in the third quarter. Patberg had 10 of the 22 points, and junior guard Jaelynn Penn hit two of IU’s three 3-pointers in the quarter.

Sophomore guard Grace Berger and freshman forward

Mackenzie Holmes joined Patberg and Penn with doubledigit points in the fourth quarter. IU held Michigan to 30% from the field in the second half, forcing 11 turnovers and seven steals in the final 20 minutes of play.

The win was IU’s third in a row. The past three wins for IU have all been convincing double-digit victories, won in much the same fashion as early season wins over South Carolina, the University of Florida and Michigan State. After enduring a three-game losing streak in the middle of their Big

Ten schedule, the Hoosiers did not lose consecutive games the rest of the season.

The Hoosiers have just postseason basketball left on the schedule. They begin postseason play in the Big Ten Tournament on Friday afternoon at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

IU has the potential to make a deep tournament run with a talented squad that has exceeded expectations and records all season.

A three-game win streak may signal that IU is playing its best basketball at the right time.

66-67 in a game.

When Green converted an and-one layup with 9:27 remaining, he gave IU a twopoint lead. This also snapped a streak of 20 straight missed twopoint field goal attempts for

Green. The basket was his first made non-3-point field goal in the month of February.

But the field goal from Green was the last points IU would score for a while. Illinois went on a 7-0 run over a span of roughly three minutes to retake the lead.

through back-and-forth passing that left Michigan on its toes and unable to stop IU’s offense.

Penn found Patberg for an open shot behind the arc. Then on the other end, Patberg blocked a Michigan layup, secured the rebound and passed the ball to Penn for an open jump shot eight seconds later.

After a couple minutes, Patberg’s passing increased the pace of the offense and put Gulbe back to work beneath the basket.

With the shot clock winding down, Patberg crossed over her defender and found Gulbe for an easy finish. Following a Michigan basket, Patberg ran it up the floor, passed the ball through a defender and Gulbe scored again.

The Wolverines’ senior guard Akienreh Johnson tried keeping up with the Hoosiers with quick baskets, but Patberg was quicker. Patberg sprinted down the middle of the court and hit a floating jump shot. Minutes later, she collected another steal and found Penn on the right side in transition.

Michigan had a combined 11 minutes without a field goal in the first half. And Patberg had six of IU’s eight assists that kept the program ahead 34-31 at the half.

IU’s offense pulled away in the third quarter, and once again, Patberg supervised the floor. She made a tough layup and drew a foul on the right side of the basket and completed a 3-point play with a free throw.

As the third quarter de-

veloped, Patberg directed her guards to cut through the paint and hit catch-andshoot jump shots that padded IU’s lead.

Patberg and the Hoosier defense cut off passes intended for the Wolverines’ post players and turned those defensive stops into points on the other end of the floor.

IU held Michigan to 34% shooting on the afternoon in Michigan and got one final nudge from its point guard in the fourth quarter.

The junior added more shots of her own, beating defenders off the dribble and taking advantage of mismatches created by her ball handling. She finished with 21 points, seven assists, three steals, three rebounds and two blocks in her 33 minutes inside Crisler Center.

IU’s loss against Illinois feels worse than others this season Caleb Coffman is a junior in sports media.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Sophomore guard Rob Phinisee’s eyes widened in shock while lying on the ground and staring at the referee, who motioned that Illinois called a timeout.

He looked around at the other officials and the IU bench before putting his hands on his head in disbelief.

At the very least, Phinisee was looking for a jump ball or a foul to send him to the free-throw line with a chance to tie the game. Instead, he saw another opportunity for a signature road win pass the Hoosiers by as they choked in a 67-66 loss.

The team played its best road game of the season and still couldn’t get it done.

This defeat feels different than most of the other 10 on the season. If anything, IU head coach Archie Miller and the players showed the same pain they felt after falling to Maryland at home Jan. 26.

Unlike so many of IU’s other road games, the team didn’t fail to perform. Instead, it failed to close.

“Wednesday, we didn’t execute at all,” Miller said.

“Today we executed better, and I thought we got some better play out of guys.”

At a glance, the Hoosiers did everything they needed to secure the win, almost guaranteeing them a firstround bye in the Big Ten Tournament and being a certified lock for the NCAA Tournament. Now, the pressure of winning the final two home games of the season hangs over the team’s head.

IU had four players score in double-figures.

The team only committed 10 turnovers and shot 50% from beyond the 3-point line. Most impressively, the Hoosiers outrebounded the Fighting Illini — who entered the game with the fifth-best rebounding margin in the country — by eight and grabbed 12 offensive boards.

The Hoosiers have done everything Miller has asked of them since being called

CALEB’S CORNER

Ali Patberg leads Hoosiers to road win Junior guard Ali Patberg broke Michigan’s zone defense and disrupted its offense Sunday in a 78-60 victory for No. 22 IU women’s basketball.

“I thought Ali Patberg remained aggressive like she has been,” IU head coach Teri Moren said. “When she’s aggressive, as I’ve said, everybody around her is more confident.”

With her team down six early in the first quarter, Patberg drew extra defenders while driving to the basket and passed it out to senior forward Brenna Wise for a 3-pointer.

Patberg stole the ball on the next play and helped her defense keep Michigan scoreless for the remainder of the opening quarter.

While the Wolverines struggled to score, Patberg continued to find open teammates.

After IU took its first lead of the game, Patberg weaved through the zone, brought a Michigan forward close to the basket and found sophomore forward Aleksa Gulbe for a 3-pointer.

The Wolverines tried running a fastbreak on the other end of the floor, but Patberg read the offense. Patberg ran toward Michigan’s freshman guard Maddie Nolan and contested her corner 3-pointer with 1:31 left in the first quarter.

IU had a 15-6 run by the end of the quarter, and its star point guard took command of the game in the second quarter.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – IU men’s basketball came up short late in a 67-66 loss to Illinois on Sunday afternoon to wrap up its road schedule.

The loss puts IU at 18-11 overall and 8-10 in Big Ten play.

The Hoosiers are now on a twogame losing streak since the win over then-No. 9 Penn State.

IU was close with Illinois throughout the first half. Senior guard Devonte Green had a pair of 3-pointers, while freshman forward Trayce JacksonDavis controlled the paint with 10 points and five rebounds.

The Hoosiers took advantage on the glass with six offensive rebounds to give themselves extra possessions. Four of Jackson-Davis’ five rebounds came on the offensive end. He helped limit Illinois freshman center Kofi Cockburn to only two rebounds in the first 20 minutes.

After IU and Illinois were tied at 36 apiece at halftime, IU head coach Archie Miller made a change. For the first time this season, he put a different starting lineup on the court to start the second half. Sophomore forward Race Thompson started in place of junior center Joey Brunk, next to Jackson-Davis.

Thompson only had two points in the game but was tasked with defending Cockburn as well. He also had a pair of offensive rebounds. But it was redshirt freshman guard Jerome Hunter who gave the Hoosiers the lead in the second half after they allowed the Fighting Illini to go on a run.

Hunter hit back-to-back 3-pointers in opposite corners to give IU the one-point lead.

It was the first time since Feb. 8 against Purdue that Hunter made more than one 3-pointer

out after being embarrassed

by Michigan on the road.

The team’s energy level hasn’t wavered, and it has fought hard in every game since.

“You have to have an attitude that, quite frankly, you just don’t give a shit about nothing,” Miller said.

“You go into the game, and it’s about competing. It’s about playing as hard as you possibly can and finding a

way in these environments to get it into the last 12, eight and four and then find a way to win.”

On one hand, it’s a confidence booster for IU to know it can compete against a competitive team on the road, but it also has to be demoralizing. What more can the Hoosiers do on the road to push them over the finish line?

IU desperately wants to prove that it is a team that demands respect on the road, but every time it has a chance to earn it, it can’t close the deal.

“Now we go home, and everything has to be erased from your memory,” Miller said. “You’re on to the next one, which in all reality is the last gasp of air — so to speak — on the regular season.” calcoffm@iu.edu

Illini after only scoring three points to go with two rebounds in the first 20 minutes. He finished the game with 15 points and five rebounds.

A 3-pointer by junior guard Al Durham pulled IU within two points before Illinois sophomore guard Ayu Dosunmu made one of his own on the following possession. It gave

Illinois a five-point lead with 1:27 remaining. Sophomore guard Rob Phinisee then had a 3-pointer himself to make it a two-point game. After Jackson-Davis missed a pair of free throws with 13 seconds left, Phinisee grabbed the offensive rebound to give IU an opportunity to tie or take the lead.

That was until he tripped,

and Illinois was able to steal the ball from him to put the game to rest. Jackson-Davis finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds, while Durham led IU with 13 points.

The next game for IU will be Wednesday against Minnesota at home. The Hoosiers won the first matchup Feb. 19 on the road by 12 points.

be his scoring or passing — the offense had rhythm. It was why IU was tied at 36 with Illinois at halftime.

Underwood said he thought Jackson-Davis won the first half battle against Cockburn.

“I guess you shouldn’t call him a freshman anymore,” Underwood said of Jackson-Davis.

“He’s a veteran now.”

Underwood said he thought his players defended all of IU’s first shots well, but Jackson-Davis created so many second-chance opportunities.

Jackson-Davis had an athletic advantage against the bulkier Cockburn, and he was able to win offensively as a result.

Cockburn allowed Jackson-Davis to catch the ball deep into the post where scoring a basket became easy.

“Trayce has got great length,” Underwood said. “He’s got unbelievable anticipation. I enjoy watching him play, especially on the glass because he’s got an innate ability to find the ball.”

At halftime, Underwood made an adjustment, one that led to Cockburn taking over in the second half.

Underwood said he knew IU lacked a reliable 3-point shooter, and he saw the advantages Jackson-Davis had over Cockburn offensively.

Cockburn said he was told to keep one foot in the paint at all times in the second half, allowing for more space on the perimeter.

half. Bezhanishvili cut off Jackson-Davis from being in a good spot to catch the ball and prevented the Hoosier freshman to two points in the second half.

Jackson-Davis finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds, his 10th double-double of the season. Seven of his 12 rebounds were offensive.

While Underwood thought Jackson-Davis won the first half, Cockburn won the second. He took over the game.

“I’m really proud of Kofi because he was not very good in the first half. We challenged him in the second half,” Underwood said. “With the game in the balance, we kept going to him.”

Cockburn had six blocks, a career high. After he switched off Jackson-Davis, and the Hoosier freshman being pushed out of the lane, Cockburn was ready to adjust and block his shots.

Cockburn became a dominant force at the rim that caused IU to rely more on perimeter shooting than it would have liked.

Offensively, the Illinois freshman consistently had his way against IU’s defense. Cockburn scored 12 points in the second half. He finished the game 7-10 from the free-throw, and Underwood talked about Cockburn’s willingness to use his size to get there.

“He’s all of 7-foot-2,” Jackson-Davis said. “He’s a load to handle, and he got the best of us today.”

Jackson-Davis won the first half, Cockburn won the second and Illinois won the game as a result. Both players had a chance to separate themselves as the leader for Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Neither of them did, and that shows just how productive and valuable they’ve both been.
