Indiana got what it wanted Tuesday night in a 97-71 rout of Sam Houston State -- a lopsided victory where its bench played well and it didn't have to go down to the wire. The Hoosiers will look for more of the same Friday night in Bloomington when they continue their homestand against nonconference foe Miami (Ohio). Four players scored in double figures for Indiana (6-2) against the Bearkats, including 18 from reserve Luke Goode. The Illinois transfer hit four 3-pointers in less than four minutes of the first half, enabling the Hoosiers to take a 34-12 lead. Led by Goode, Indiana's bench contributed a whopping 36 points. "I thought it was a total team effort on everybody's part," Hoosiers coach Mike Woodson said. "Helps when your bench come off and play the way they did. Goode was fantastic but everybody off the bench played well." Indiana also got an encouraging 19-point performance from point guard Myles Rice, who struggled a bit in the first seven games in terms of making shots and running the offense. Rice (11.1 ppg) is one of four double-figure scorers in an attack led by Mackenzie Mgbako (16.8). Meanwhile, the RedHawks (5-2) are coming off a 73-60 home win Monday against Air Force. Bellarmine transfer Peter Suder poured in a career-high 42 points on 17-of-21 shooting, the highest-scoring game in program history since Wally Szczerbiak scored 43 in 1999. Suder, who averaged 10.5 ppg as a sophomore last season, is up to 17.4 ppg this season. He's hitting 58.8 percent of his field goals while also chipping in 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals. "I always say players win games, man. Coaches lose games," Miami coach Travis Steele told the Journal-News. "Peter was phenomenal. It was just get out of the way and just let him go." Forward Kam Craft, who Steele landed out of high school when he was still coaching at Xavier, is the RedHawks' second-leading scorer at 14.1 ppg. The Hoosiers have won 22 of the previous 25 meetings, including an 86-56 rout two years ago in Indianapolis. --Field Level MediaFollowing is a summary of current sports news briefs.

"You never want to play this amount of games in this short of time.

LightPath Technologies Introduces New Optical Gas Imaging Camera for Ammonia and SF6 DetectionJim Rossman | Tribune News Service Cord cutting used to refer to abandoning pay TV and putting up an antenna to watch free over-the-air TV. Then cord cutting expanded to include streaming services like Netflix and Hulu and individual streaming sources.

These bundled services mimic cable and satellite service, in that they have hundreds of channels. The ease or complexity of the cord cutting experience depends on how you have things set up. Let’s take a look at some gift options for your favorite cord cutter. As far as I know DirecTV is the only streaming bundle service that offers its own hardware. The Gemini Air is a small dongle that plugs into an HDMI port on your TV. It is paired with a remote control to allow for easy navigation. If you were an AT&T U-Verse TV customer, the Gemini Air/DirecTV Stream experience will be very familiar. The Gemini Air is a rarity in that it has number buttons. DirecTV Stream has the option of turning on channel numbers in the guide. I’ve used DirecTV Stream with my Roku TV and with the Gemini Air and the Air makes navigating the huge list of channels much easier. The Gemini Air runs the Google operating system, so you can see and use all your other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Max and more. You can also load apps and games from the Google Play store. The Gemini Air connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network, and it can stream 4K content to your TV. The remote control has a microphone so you can use your voice to search or interact with Hey Google’s voice assistant. DirecTV Stream customers can get a free Gemini Air from AT&T with their service. Additional units are available for $120. There are lots of smart TV brands. Some run on the Roku operating system, some run Google TV and some use their own brand of smart TV apps. If you’d like to add Google TV to any set, you can get Google’s new TV Streamer (4K) for just $99 from store.google.com. The small device connects to your TV’s HDMI port. It also can connect to your home’s internet via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet connection. The Google TV interface is not tied to any specific streaming service. You can use any streaming service or app that’s available on the Google Play store. It features a simple remote with voice control and the Google TV Streamer is also a hub and controller for Matter and Thread home devices that work with Google’s home ecosystem. If you use an over-the-air antenna for watching your free local channels, I’m betting you’d like the option to record those channels. TiVo used to be the best/easiest way to record OTA TV, but they’ve discontinued their OTA recorders. A great alternative is from TabloTV, which is a small box that you connect to your TV antenna. The TabloTV does not directly connect to your TV. Instead it connects to your home’s Wi-Fi, and the antenna signal is wirelessly sent to any TV or compatible device in your home. Your TV picks up the signal through a free app, which is compatible with smart TV brands like Samsung, LG, Google TV, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV or Android TV. This method is extremely handy if you don’t want to be bothered running an antenna wire from your attic or roof all the way to your TV. It’s also great if you want to use an indoor antenna, but your TV is not situated in a room that faces the broadcast towers. You can place the antenna and TabloTV where you get the best reception. The TabloTV comes in two models – with either two or four tuners. This means you can record or watch two or four shows at a time. TabloTV has onboard storage to record up to 50 hours of shows, but you can plug in any USB hard drive and expand to record thousands of hours of programming. You can also bundle a TabloTV with an OTA antenna if you like, or you can use your own antenna. Two things to know, there are no ongoing subscription costs for guide data, and there is no streaming service integration. You will need another way to add in streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. TabloTV models start at $99.95 for the two tuner model at tablotv.com. The four-tuner model is $139.95, but they may be on sale during the holidays. ©2024 Tribune Content Agency, LLC.Opinion editor’s note: Strib Voices publishes a mix of material from 11 contributing columnists , along with other commentary online and in print each day.

For some Native Americans, the holiday is a reminder of the colonial displacement and violence that followed early interactions between Indigenous peoples and settlers. As we approach this year’s Thanksgiving, it’s important to recognize the ongoing struggle for Indigenous rights and representation. In Dakota tradition, the concept of Kapemni — “as above, so below” — symbolizes the mirroring of existence. The sky reflects on the water, and the water reflects the sky. This profound principle underscores the mirroring of both Kate Beane’s and Jeff Ryan’s advocacy, two individuals from seemingly distinct worlds, yet united in their commitment to dismantling false Native American narratives and championing Native American representation. Beane, an enrolled member of the Flandreau Santee band, serves as the executive director of Minnesota Museum of American Art (the M). Through her work, she ensures that Native American art and stories find a place at the cultural table. Ryan, a history teacher in Prescott, Wis., takes his students beyond textbooks, bringing them into the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe tribal community in northern Wisconsin to experience Indigenous culture firsthand. Together, their efforts illustrate the importance of both insiders and allies in challenging erasure and reshaping Native American narratives. I first became aware of Beane because of her role in the renaming of Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis. When we strolled underneath the recently restored dazzling Cass Gilbert stained glassed arcade ceiling at the M, Beane makes sure to point to Native American artwork in the newly expanded New Wing. “So many people know so little about us,” she explains. “To be seen, we have to be front and center, persistent, and clear about who we are.” At the M, she ensures that Native American stories are told not just as relics of the past but as vibrant, evolving and modern threads in the fabric of American identity. There is a gallery dedicated to the works of George Morrison, a distinguished Ojibwe modernist from Chippewa City, Minn., whose paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures have been exhibited New York, Paris and at the White House in Washington. “Our people have been fighting for the bare minimum for the last 500 years,” Beane says. But today, she strives for more than survival — she dreams of thriving. Her work at the M and with Bde Maka Ska are acts of resistance against centuries of erasure. The very existence of Indigenous people in these spaces, she asserts, is political. Her work requires allies like Ryan, who bring Native American narratives into classrooms and communities where it might otherwise be absent. Ryan’s journey began decades ago in Frederic, Wis., where several were Ojibwe communities were just 20 minutes away. Ryan remembers the vitriol and hate during treaty-rights protests in the late 1980s. “It was very, very sad,” Ryan recalls. “These were our neighbors, and nobody deserves to be treated this way.” This spurred Ryan’s desire to understand the realities behind the injustices faced by Indigenous communities in Wisconsin. Ryan’s approach to teaching is immersive. For over two decades, he has led students to the Lac du Flambeau, where they learn from tribal elders, artists and leaders. “Learning about Native people from Native people is the best way to learn,” Ryan emphasizes. The experiences are transformative for his students, opening their eyes to the richness of Indigenous culture and challenging stereotypes they held about Native people. One of Ryan’s former students, Nicole Eggers, who went on the very first Lac du Flambeau school trip, said that trip influenced her career choices to study history. She’s an associate professor of African history at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Less than 10 years after visiting Lac du Flambeau, Eggers was traveling around eastern Congo on the back of a motorcycle, interviewing Congolese people about their past, collecting oral histories, learning from them in their sacred spaces and speaking with them in their language. “I knew — because I had experienced it at Lac du Flambeau — that there is immense value in the stories that people tell about themselves, in seeing and learning about the spaces they live, work, pray, and play in and the languages they speak,” Eggers said. When I sat down with Ryan to share warm tea at the Twisted Oak, a small café on the main street in Prescott, he wore a cap with the words “You are on Native Land.” “If I am going to have car trouble and need help, I want my car to break down on the La Du Flambeau Reservation. I know someone will help me.” This authentic connection-building requires trust and humility. “Too often, people come to us with their own ideas of what they think we need,” Beane reflects. “That’s not respect. Respect is listening, learning and then acting based on what we’re asking for.” Ryan’s longstanding relationships with the Lac du Flambeau community embody this approach. His willingness to show up year after year, to listen and to foster dialogue mirrors Beane’s belief in the power of persistent allyship. Yet, their work is not without challenges. Both Beane and Ryan face a cultural landscape resistant to change. For Beane, the fight is against societal fear and misunderstanding, rooted in a history of colonialism. She works to create spaces including the M that are inclusive, not just for Native people but for all who wish to understand, connect and belong. “Art has the power to heal and unite,” she says, emphasizing the role of creativity in bridging divides. Ryan, meanwhile, contends with an education system that often falls short. Wisconsin’s Act 31 mandates the teaching of Native history, but many schools fail to meet its requirements. “The old 19th-century ‘Dances With Wolves’ and Disney ‘Pocahantas’ movie approaches to First Nations History remain pervasive in the state,” said Ryan. “Sadly, there is an unwillingness of many schools to revamp their curriculum and learn about Native people not only from a contemporary standpoint, but also through the lens of Native people.” Ryan’s efforts in Prescott stand out as a model, but he worries about the sustainability of these initiatives after his eventual retirement. The stories of Kate Beane and Jeff Ryan illuminate the power of Kapemni. Beane, rooted in her community and culture, works to ensure Indigenous stories are told authentically and boldly. Ryan, an ally from outside, leverages his position to amplify these stories, ensuring his students understand Native people not as characters from history but as vibrant contributors to our shared future. In their mirroring roles — they remind us that the fight for justice and recognition is a shared endeavor. As Beane says: “We know the answers to our community; we know what we need. What we need is to be heard.” Through listening, learning and acting with intention, both insiders and allies can chart a path forward. As above, so below.
