When Indiana offered class of 2022 forward Alex Karaban last March, he was fresh off a highly productive sophomore campaign that put him firmly on the radar of several high major programs. With both AAU and school basketball mostly shut down in the Northeast, it was nearly a year before the 6-foot-8, 220 pound Karaban returned to the court for live game action. That finally changed two weeks ago when Karaban and his New Hampton School (New Hampton, N.H.) teammates resumed play in the rugged NEPSAC conference. After testing for COVID-19 each week, the Huskies are playing home and away weekend…
If there was one thing missing from Indiana’s 2020-21 resume, it was a signature win. They got it on Thursday night. The Hoosiers took down No. 11 Michigan in Bloomington, winning their fifth game in a row in the process. The game was tight throughout, with 12 ties and 17 lead changes. Michigan’s largest lead of six points came in the first quarter, while Indiana’s largest lead was the final score, 70-65. IU closed the game on an 11-4 run that included eight Grace Berger free throws. Senior guard Ali Patberg led the Hoosiers with 21 points. Berger added 16…
It all came together down the stretch for Indiana on Wednesday night. During a five minute run in the final eight minutes, Indiana got contributions from almost everyone, ran efficient offense, and locked down Minnesota defensively. For all of their flaws, IU once again showed their resiliance, both coming off a bad loss to Ohio State, and responding to a Minnesota run that had a must win game very much in doubt. In a matter of minutes, the Hoosiers went from the precipice of a season tanking disaster to a strong closing effort that has them close to securing an…

It has been nearly a year since Indiana last played a baseball game — but the wait is almost over. The Big Ten Conference has announced the long-awaited 2021 baseball schedule. The conference-only slate for the 2021 season was released by IU and the league on Wednesday afternoon. Indiana will play 44 Big Ten games, including 20 home contests at Bart Kaufman Field in Bloomington, Ind. The Hoosiers last played on March, 11, 2020 before the season was abruptly canceled due to COVID-19. IU defeated Cincinnati 6-2 on that day and concluded a 9-6 season. The 2019 Big Ten champions…
Indiana begins an important two game home stand on Wednesday evening when the Minnesota Golden Gophers arrive at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Minnesota has yet to win a game this season away from its home court, and with IU flirting with the NCAA Tournament bubble, the Hoosiers cannot afford to be the first to lose at home to the Golden Gophers. Overall the Golden Gophers arrive losers of six of their last nine games, but they also have enough weapons to pull off big wins, as they have done several times this season already. It is Indiana and Minnesota from…
Minnesota hasn’t won a game all season away from its home court, and head coach Richard Pitino is 0-5 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The task of finally pulling off a road win on Wednesday night in Bloomington might be even taller than expected as the Golden Gophers tallest and most impactful frontcourt player is a game time decision. Averaging 12.6 points and 7.1 rebounds, 7-foot center Liam Robbins has been one of the top post players in the Big Ten this season. But Robbins is dealing with an ankle injury that slowed him down significantly in Minnesota’s last game…
