Attendance record broken

Coach Kathi Bennett is out $5,000 after the women's basketball team's loss to Wisconsin 69-58, but the money went to a good cause. Her $5,000 donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was the result of a record-breaking crowd in Assembly Hall for a women's basketball game. The goal was to have at least 5,503 fans at the game. That number was shattered as the Hoosiers played in front of 7,986 people on Friday night. People from the community and around the state filed into Assembly Hall to see the game.\n"The atmosphere was amazing tonight," Bennett said. "We're very thankful for the crowd and wish we could have given them a win."\nBennett said it was nice for the team to have the opportunity to play in front of such a large crowd and to bring awareness to the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Bennett said she also hopes that while the crowd saw the Hoosiers lose, they will come back for another game.\n"I hope they saw the effort and the good play," Bennett said. "We're only going to get better"
