Home finale heartbreak

·

It was like David and Goliath, the 4-12 Hoosiers going up against the No. 22 Michigan State Spartans. Facing a 51-48 deficit, IU sophomore Cyndi Valentin's last-second, running three-pointer shot into the air like the aforementioned rock and struck its mark -- only this time, Goliath got up. After hitting the three pointer at the final second to force the game into overtime, the Spartans won, 60-51.
