A small card in IU’s reference library was imprinted with a brief definition of the word “Hoosier.” Jeffrey Graf, a reference associate at the Herman B Wells Library, thought its explanation was too brief, so he produced a large file of information and started a struggle that has been on IU’s campus for quite some time.

The Hoosiers will be well versed in the Wildcats’ play when they see the team for the second time in such a short span. But there’s one thing IU knows Northwestern won’t change when the two teams play in the Big Ten Tournament’s first round at 5 p.m. Thursday: its volume of 3-point attempts.

Led by youngest members, IU avoids worst ever losing streak

It’s somewhat fitting that IU couldn’t pull out its win against Northwestern in regulation.
