It is believed that the unused piece was left from the original installation of the Daktronics scoreboard, which occurred 7 years ago, and the vibration from the crowd and music caused the piece to come loose and fall at halftime of the game. “The piece that fell from the center hung scoreboard at (Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall) on Saturday night was an unused unistrut bracket,” IndyStar was told.

He played like he belonged and was a big contributor to Indiana’s energy in the first half. Saturday night marked one of the first times Banks seemed to come into his own on the court. “Playing his butt off” is a normal expectation for a player like Hood-Schifino, who has been a staple in Indiana’s lineup since the beginning of the season. But some of the biggest reasons why the Hoosiers won so comfortably came in the first half. Then, a piece of the jumbotron fell to the floor just before the second half.

After the game, Parrish said that there’s such a belief in one another that she didn’t even think to chase an offensive board when Garzon let a shot fly. Her handle was a bit clanky, her shots just off, but the importance of her leadership was evident. Like I said, Sunday’s win was expected and there’s not a whole lot of analysis required in that department. Not only did Berger lead the way in points and add seven assists for good measure, but the way in which she scored was noteworthy. While the players insisted that their focus is day to day, Moren noted a concern with her team’s lack of intensity in practice on Saturday. Something that struck me in her previous outings over the last few weeks was a stark lack of fluidity.
Just three weeks ago, Indiana fans were wondering if the Hoosiers would ever win another game. I still kept the faith, though, and boldly said publicly that ...
- HOLTMANN ON SCOREBOARD INCIDENT: A 10-to-15 pound piece of metal fell from the scoreboard at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall moments before the second half of Saturday's game between Indiana and Ohio State. - WHAT WOODSON SAID Indiana basketball is on a five-game winning streak after defeating Ohio State 86-70 at home. Read their full transcript, or just watch the attached video of the entire press conference. They fly under the radar in the Big Ten at 5-5, but at home they are a perfect 5-0. I'm catching the ball and I'm just attacking on offense.'' There isn't a SINGLE PLAYER in the country that's posted that line. He's the one that missed a lot of chippies around the rim, but when you look at the stats, he had 18 and 10 rebounds. It was a sub-par night, relatively speaking, and he missed 10 shots. He's scoring at a record clip, and rebounding like a demon, too. Indiana has now won five games in a row, its longest Big Ten winning streak since the end of the 2016 season, after beating Ohio State 86-70 on Saturday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. They were throwing their Indiana gear in the garbage, they were so upset. Three weeks ago, I tweeted ''Call me crazy, but I think Indiana wins twice this week.''
