Some were long and some were short. But each one of the four seniors who took the microphone Wednesday night gave speeches that reminded us how relatable they really are.

When IU fans think of Jeff Howard, the two things that come to mind are hustle and hair — and not always in that order.
Smith spent more than two seasons on the IU men’s basketball team as a walk-on. A native of South Bend, Ind., Smith played basketball and ran track in high school. He received a few offers to play basketball collegiately, but none from any Division I schools.
That’s what Sheehey did both in the press conference and the game. That’s what this whole Hoosier team did on Sunday. Without Vonleh, they stepped up for each other and played as a true team. And that’s something to be proud of.
6-foot-8 sophomore Jeremy Hollowell started at center in Vonleh’s absence, scoring four points and pulling in five rebounds, but was overshadowed by a breakout performance from sophomore forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea.
Without freshman forward Noah Vonleh on Sunday, the IU men’s basketball team defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes 72-64.
Freshman forward Noah Vonleh will not play against No. 22 Ohio State Sunday, according to IU Coach Tom Crean's Twitter account.
Why? Because Ohio State loves defense. The Buckeyes eat defense for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They sprinkle defense over their Captain Crunch and dip their French fries in defense.
Senior Will Sheehey and freshman Stanford Robinson recorded 30 and 17 points, respectively, which were career highs for both players.
While Ferrell and Vonleh combined for just 12 points on 3-of-7 shooting, senior Will Sheehey and freshman Stan Robinson both had career highs.Whether you prefer #Sheebinson or #Robinhey — personally I prefer #Robinhey, but #Sheebinson is solid as well — there’s no doubt the combination of the senior and the freshman willed IU to victory.
The IU men’s basketball team rode a career-high 30 points from senior wing Will Sheehey to a 93-86 against the No. 20 Iowa Hawkeyes.
The IU men’s basketball team (15-12, 5-9) will face the No. 20 Iowa Hawkeyes (19-8, 8-6) at 9 p.m. in Assembly Hall, the second of three games this week for the Hoosiers.
Vonleh has been on the NBA’s radar ever since he started the season with four consecutive double-doubles. With a 6-foot-10, 240-pound frame and 7-foot-4 wingspan, Vonleh has been an elite rebounder since arriving on campus last summer.
It’s no secret that if IU basketball had a mascot this year, they’d have two: Jekyll and Hyde.
