Creighton knocks ISU from Arch Madness
After Creighton had been beaten by Indiana State by 19 points in a Feb. 6 game at Hulman Center, it was clear that the motivated Bluejays wanted to throw the first punch in Saturday’s Missouri Valley Conference Tournament rematch.

21-51, 11-36, 9-29, 11-31
Those numbers were enigmatically etched on the greaseboard inside Indiana State’s locker room after its 51-50 victory over Evansville on Friday.
No, someone’s credit card number hasn’t just been revealed to the world. Nor do the numbers represent some sort of secret code. -

Odum makes MVC first-team, Sycamores' first since Renn in 2001
By Missouri Valley Conference rules, no one from the “home” school can vote for players for the All-MVC team that they coach, work for, or cover as a member of the media.
That means none of the four voters who represent ISU in the MVC voting block — ISU coach Greg Lansing, ISU sports information director Achim Hunt, ISU radio play-by-play man Brian Fritz and Tribune-Star writer Todd Golden — were allowed to vote for Odum on their ballots. -
FROM THE PRESSBOX: Can Sycamores reverse fortunes heading into MVC Tournament?
Mastery of a basketball season comes in many forms. Mostly, it comes in forms that involve avoidance of turnovers, anemic scoring and poor defense.
The mechanics of X-and-O success in basketball are obvious, but what’s often overlooked in building a successful campaign is managing the rhythm of the season, which is the hardest thing of all. -
Indiana State women fall to Wichita State
The final statistics Sunday afternoon showed visiting Wichita State with a 38-34 rebounding advantage over Indiana State in Missouri Valley Conference women’s basketball.

Rose-Hulman can't match Calvin's offense in Division III tournament

ISU’s Swift wins hurdles at Notre Dame
Greggmar Swift continued his preparation for the 2013 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Alex Wilson Invitational Saturday, winning his semifinal heat and the finals of the 60 meter hurdles at the University of Notre Dame.
Stacia Weatherford, Leeann Michl, Kimyanna Rudolph (pole vault, 13-feet-2 1/2), and Dustin Betz (mile, 4:05.96) each established career best efforts as the second day of the meet was conducted in the Loftus Sports Center.

TILL IT'S OVER: Whitley’s determination on display for ISU Senior Day
Taylor Whitley averaged 12.1 points, 4.7 assists and went on an offensive rampage two years ago in St. Charles, Mo., to earn All-Missouri Valley Conference Tournament accolades.
A knee injury caused her a major setback as a junior, but Whitley’s senior year seems to have gone just how she would like it to: with her in the background doing the dirty work for a team that ranks among the NCAA’s best in scoring defense. The Sycamores are allowing 53.7 points-per-game, which is the best in the program’s history by a wide margin.
It’s a team that plays harder consistently for 40 minutes than any I’ve watched in 10 years covering ISU women’s basketball. -
Terre Haute’s Hutson takes second at USA track championships
Indiana State’s Felisha Johnson and Brandon Pounds went against the best in the nation and former ISU standout Kylie Hutson placed second in the women’s pole vault during the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday in the Albuquerque Convention Center.
Johnson finished fourth in the women’s weight throw with her best throw coming on her fifth attempt with a distance of 73 feet, 0 3/4 inches. It is the fifth time this season that Johnson has had a throw better than 70 feet.
Gwen Berry (Nike/NYAC) won the indoor title with a season-best throw of 81-0 1/2 with Amber Campbell (Nike) going 77-8 1/4 for second. Campbell was the defending champion and set the meet record a year ago with a throw of 81-3 1/4. Jeneva McCall (NYAC) was third with a distance of 74-2 1/2.
