Down goes Sparty Hoosiers snap seven-game losing streak at Michigan State By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97
In a bustling hallway inside the Breslin Student Events Center filled with arena employees lugging coolers and suitcases past him, junior forward De’Ron Davis’ eyes grew big and his voice remained steady. He wanted to talk about respect and the lack of it he feels IU receives from the rest of the Big Ten Conference. After contributing 12 points, six rebounds and three free throws in the final 11 seconds of overtime during IU’s 79-75 win at No. 6 Michigan State on Feb. 2 in East Lansing, Michigan, Davis earned the right to do so. “The league doesn’t respect us, coaches don’t respect us,” Davis said. “So we gotta have the respect from our coaching staff, from our team. I feel like this win opened us up.” Time will tell if Davis’ prediction pays off, but one could excuse him for being overly confident following IU’s upset win. The victory, which snapped a seven-game losing streak for IU and improves its record to 13-9 overall and 4-7 in conference play, became increasingly more unlikely as the night went on. No moment better punctuated the uncertainty surrounding the game, and perhaps IU’s season, than with 6:04 remaining in the first half. Senior forward Juwan Morgan dove for a loose ball for IU and remained on the ground, writhing in pain while grabbing his left shoulder. Morgan exited the game before returning still in uniform but only to sit on the IU bench and provide instruction to his teammates. While IU Head Coach Archie Miller did not expand on Morgan’s injury or its severity after the game, Davis still credited Morgan with helping the Hoosiers execute late in the second half and overtime from his spot on the bench. “Honestly, in my opinion it felt like he was still out there,” Davis said. “‘Cause every time you came back to the bench he was talking to us, especially me,

79-75 telling me to keep going and telling me where the defense is and what I need to do.” Morgan’s 13 minutes of game action resulted in just five points for an IU team usually reliant on him and freshman guard Romeo Langford to generate offense. But instead of one player stepping up to fill the scoring void, it was a collection of Hoosiers. Led by Langford’s 19 points, eight different Hoosiers scored in the game, including five in double figures. IU’s 28
bench points were the team’s most since bench players scored 36 in a December win against the University of Central Arkansas. With Morgan on the bench for the final 31 minutes of the game, IU’s offense found a way to grow more effective. “That just made us have to move the ball a little bit more,” Langford said. “Our guys come into practice each day to get better and be ready for when their name is called and that’s exactly what happened tonight.” IU’s 28-16 advantage in bench points SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 5

The new owner of the Hoosier Times newspapers, GateHouse Media, laid off two Bloomington Herald-Times employees last week. A new Herald-Times editor also started Friday after the previous editor announced his retirement last year, which was unrelated to the ownership change and layoffs. Photographer Jeremy Hogan and graphics editor Bill Thornbro were the two employees laid off by GateHouse Media. They were notified Wednesday, which was their last day of work. Hogan said he didn’t go into work Wednesday because he had a fever. Someone called him to tell him he was laid off. Four other employees of the Hoosier Times newspaper group, which includes newspapers around the state, were also laid off, the Herald-Times reported. Hogan had worked for the Herald-Times since August 1997, he said. There is now only one staff photographer left at the paper. When he started at the newspaper, he said, he and the other photographers wanted to make it one of the best photo papers in the country. “Over the next almost 23 years I’ve come at it with that same attitude,” Hogan said. Eventually, he started shooting videos in addition to photos, often of the same event, Hogan said. He said he’s always tried to serve the community with the best visual journalism. Bill Thornbro did not respond to an email to his Herald-Times email address requesting comment, but it’s unclear whether the address is still active. Bob Zaltsberg, 65, was editor of the Herald-Times for 33 years, and Thursday was his last day. He announced his retirement in November 2018, and said it was unrelated to the newspaper’s sale. He said while he hated that Hogan and Thornbro were laid off, he understands journalism is a forprofit business and GateHouse Media made a business decision. Of his own retirement, Zaltsberg said it felt like the right time for him SEE HERALD, PAGE 6

The Grammy Award-winning group Mariachi Los Camperos will play at 7 p.m. Feb. 9 at the IU Auditorium as a part of the Mexico Remixed festival. The group has released nine albums since it was founded in 1961 by Nati Cano. Following Cano’s death in 2014, Jesús “Chuy” Guzmán became the music director of Los Camperos. The group helped move mariachi music out of the traditional venue of cantinas and into auditoriums. Los Camperos also established La Fonda, a restaurant in Los Angeles that is the world’s first mariachi dinner-theater restaurant. “Playing in cantinas is not bad,” SEE MARIACHI, PAGE 5
