Indiana postponed Tuesday night's game against No. 15 Iowa after an 8-foot piece of metal fell from the ceiling and into the seats at Assembly Hall. Athletic director Fred Glass said the school made the decision to call off the game after the piece, roughly 8 feet long and 14 inches wide, fell into the lower bowl of the arena and damaged seats in the northwest corner. Iowa (19-6, 8-4 Big Ten) is in third place in the league standings, and the Hoosiers (14-11, 4-8) are near the bottom. ''Our university engineers have advised us to postpone events in Assembly Hall until it can be determined what caused the facing to fall and ensure the safety of everyone attending an event in the facility.'' The men's basketball team has only two other home games scheduled this season - March 2 against Ohio State and March 5 against Nebraska.
