Say what you will about this Indiana team, but they don’t quit when the going gets tough. In what looked like the warm-up act for a game that was originally scheduled for 9:00 p.m. ET, the Hoosiers seemed to be sleepwalking through the first 34 minutes in Evanston, Ill. on Wednesday afternoon.  But soon after the clock struck 6:00 p.m. locally, IU commenced a series of highs and lows that was difficult to comprehend. Somehow in the end Indiana emerged on top and now finds itself on a two-game Big Ten winning streak and back to .500 in league play. …

Penn State has seen enough of Grace Berger. The Indiana junior guard recorded her third triple-double in 16 games as Indiana dominated the second half and cruised to a 90-65 win over Penn State in Bloomington.  It was Berger’s second triple-double of the season against Penn State. With 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, Berger tied the Big Ten all-time record for triple-doubles in a season and the most for a Big Ten player in a career.  Berger also has the most all-time for an Indiana player. “Congratulations to Grace Berger for her third triple-double that she has posted,”…

It had been a while since the IU basketball staff extended a scholarship offer, but head coach Archie Miller did just that over the weekend when he called DeMatha High School small forward Tyrell Ward. The 6-foot-5 Ward is likely a name familiar to our readers.  The Daily Hoosier caught up with his high school head coach Mike Jones recently and discussed Ward extensively.  At the time Jones hinted that a scholarship offer from IU was likely. On Sunday, Ward announced an offer from Indiana on his Twitter page. https://twitter.com/daraghson_/status/1358544468794892291?s=20 The Indiana offer capped off a big weekend for Ward,…

When they knocked off Indiana in Bloomington seven weeks ago, Northwestern appeared to be an up-and-coming team in the Big Ten.  The Wildcats immediately followed that win over IU with an impressive home triumph against Ohio State — and they haven’t won a game since. Unlike Northwestern, Indiana has won games in 2021, but since a two-game winning streak over Penn State and Maryland that straddled 2020 and 2021, the Hoosiers have been unable to string together consecutive wins. IU is coming off of its second win over Iowa.  The last time they took down the highly regarded Hawkeyes, the…

Indiana head coach Archie Miller met with the media on Tuesday afternoon to preview a Wednesday road trip to Northwestern and take other questions on the team. Joining Miller for the Zoom conference was freshman point guard Khristian Lander.  Over his last three games Lander is averaging 15 minutes.  He has made 5-of-14 (35.7 percent) from the field in those contests including 5-of-12 (41.7 percent) from 3-point range while contributing five assists and committing three turnovers.  Lander talks about his development on both ends of the floor in recent weeks. https://youtu.be/SAQOBfM3Ar8 https://youtu.be/RgaPMidibXE Video credits – IU Athletics Find us on…

Indiana football head coach Tom Allen joined new running backs coach Deland McCullough for a Tuesday media availability.  The program officially welcomed back McCullough on Monday, just a day after he coached the Kansas City Chiefs running backs in the Super Bowl. McCullough spent 2018-20 as the Kansas City Chiefs running backs coach and will enter his second stint with the Hoosiers (2011-16).  The 48 year old McCullough also assumes the role of associate head coach. https://youtu.be/mxCWPbhb_8I https://youtu.be/PY9h5obbO-g Video credit – IU Athletics Find us on Facebook:  thedailyhoosier You can follow us on Twitter:  @daily_hoosier The Daily Hoosier –“Where Indiana fans assemble…

As has been widely speculated and reported, the 2021 men’s Big Ten basketball tournament will be relocated from Chicago to Indianapolis the conference confirmed on Tuesday. The league cites multiple factors for the decision, primarily health and safety, and COVID-19 testing protocols.  The event will immediately precede the 2021 NCAA Tournament, which is also based entirely in Indianapolis and the surrounding area. “It’s a really smart move,” IU coach Archie Miller said on Tuesday.  “I just don’t think the tournament would have been able to survive in Chicago.  To be able to move it is probably not only a sign…
