The IU volleyball team (15-13, 6-10) travels to West Lafayette at 7 p.m. today to take on Purdue (15-12, 8-8).

Junior guard/forward Jamarcus Ellis had a simple answer when asked what the IU men’s basketball team had to do to prepare for the first game of the season with just one day off. “You just have to get some rest,” Ellis said. “Like coach said, he wants us to come in and play with intensity.
