  Banks of the Wabash Festival is more than just yearly entertainment

  Pioneers think counterintuitively. Where others see widespread apathy, they focus on the possibility for progress. In a way, the 2013 Year of the River celebration began in the 1970s.

• 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.

• 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.
  It seemed like a wider disparity than that to coach Teri Moren and the Sycamores themselves, after the Shockers spoiled Senior Day for Taylor Whitley and Andrea Rademacher by converting 15 offensive rebounds into 14 second-chance points during a 63-53 win.

• 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.

• 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.

  With three players new to the starting lineup and multiple freshmen and sophomores contributing, Indiana State coach Teri Moren and her veteran staff have done their share of teaching throughout the season.
  While it’s nothing new to sports to use film as a tool to aid in that learning process, modern technology makes the process of watching video footage of a team’s own games and opponents’ games a different process than in the past.

• Shocked by Wichita State: ISU men's basketball eliminated from MVC title race

  Indiana State regained some of its mojo against Wichita State on Tuesday. Some things that had been going wrong went right for the Sycamores.

  The loss was ISU’s third in a row — its longest losing skid of the season. ISU — which had a share of first place in the Missouri Valley Conference eight days ago — was eliminated from MVC title contention and fell into fourth place in the league.
