Can the Hoosiers rebound?

·

The IU men's basketball team hopes to rebound Saturday afternoon against the Michigan Wolverines, and in more ways than one. Besides chasing down missed shots and crashing the offensive glass, the Hoosiers will also look to rebound from their recent loss to Illinois. The Hoosiers lost 51-43 to the Fighting Illini on Tuesday night in Champaign, Ill., which ended IU's five-game winning streak. IU coach Kelvin Sampson has stressed all year the importance of his players being able to hang their hats on something. That something, he hoped, would be the Hoosiers' defense and rebounding.

A piece of Indiana

·

As a young man, Bob Nellis didn't just go to the theater to see the latest flick to hit the big screen. In fact, because of a curfew, he rarely saw a whole movie start-to-finish. He really went to "The Indiana" -- now the Buskirk-Chumley Theater -- in downtown Bloomington to see his friends and pass the time. Sometimes he would go just to hear stories from Roy Hays, the theater's projectionist. Nellis' father worked with Hays in the theater, and between the two men, Nellis heard many stories over the years about life at the theater.
