IU drops season finale at Penn State

By Aaron Beard · Monday, Feb. 26,2007 12 a.m.

It’s been the telltale sign of how the IU women’s basketball team fared this year. When it comes to field-goal shooting, the number 40 has dictated the Hoosiers’ record throughout the course of the year. On days when IU shot better than 40 percent from the field, the team secured a record of 14-1. When the Hoosiers shot under 40 percent, however, that record falls to 3-10.

EAST LANSING, Mich. – Whether or not the IU men’s basketball team believes in superstition, the number 13 proved to be unlucky for the Hoosiers on Saturday night. For the 13th straight time, the IU men’s basketball team lost at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, Mich. This time, however, the Hoosiers led the Spartans by 13 points shortly after halftime, only to surrender 46 second-half points to Michigan State en route to a 66-58 defeat Saturday night.
