Indiana fans are looking for tangible evidence of success on the field translating to high profile recruiting wins. The Hoosiers will have just that if they can close on Florida-based class of 2022 linebacker Melvin Jordan. The Calvary Christian (St. Petersburg) product announced a top-five on Sunday that included IU. https://twitter.com/MelvinJordanIV1/status/1353465457915744256?s=20 Indiana is joined by Minnesota, Florida State, Miami (Fla.), and Oregon State in Jordan’s top five. It has been an interesting journey for Jordan to this point. He recently de-committed from Cincinnati after its defensive coordinator left. He also de-committed from Florida State after its coaching staff turned over.…

Signature win, meet frustrating loss. As has been the case throughout Archie Miller’s tenure at Indiana, the Hoosiers failed to build on a big win, instead falling to Rutgers at home to slip back under .500 in league play. IU is now just 2-3 at home in Big Ten play this year, another familiar pattern of home mediocrity in a once formidable venue that has plagued Miller’s squads. Indiana (9-7, 4-5) will have over a week off to once again try to figure things out. The Hoosiers’ game at Michigan scheduled for this weekend was postponed. Now IU will wait…

This is not your father’s Rutgers — or at least we didn’t think so. After a fast start the Scarlet Knights have fallen on hard times, arriving in Bloomington on a five-game losing streak. But make no mistake, Indiana will have its hands full against a tough-minded team that is starting to get healthy. Both teams are on a short turnaround after Thursday road games. Rutgers’ season hit its lowest point to date after a 75-67 loss at Penn State, while IU is riding high after it pulled off an 81-69 upset at No. 4 Iowa. After starting 6-0 in…
For the second time this month an IU basketball road trip to Michigan will be postponed. Multiple outlets are reporting University of Michigan Athletics will go on a two-week pause in accordance with an order from the Michigan state health department. The reports were later confirmed by the school. The Michigan Daily first reported the state order halts all athletic activity including practice and is limited exclusively to U-M athletics after a recent influx of positive cases within several Michigan teams. The Daily report indicates that there were five confirmed cases of the new COVID-19 B.1.1.7 variant, with 15 more…

Former IU great Jay Edwards joined A.J. Guyton on the House of Hoosier Podcast this week. Known best for his clutch shooting, Edwards scored 1,038 points in just two seasons at Indiana. He was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1988 after averaging 15.6 points per contest. In 1989 Edwards earned All-American honors as he averaged 20 points per game and helped lead IU to a Big Ten championship. The 6-foot-4 Edwards shot 48.1 percent from 3-point range on 291 attempts. He entered the NBA Draft after the 1988-89 season. Edwards was chosen by the Clippers in the…
Early in the first half, Iowa was shredding Indiana’s defense. The Hawkeyes made their first four shots, scored on their first five possessions, made four of their first 7 3-pointers and were 10 of 17 from the field at the 11:23 mark of the first half. At one point during the onslaught Nick Bahe, the FS1 color commentator, seemed to disparage the pack-line defense as he recalled looking forward to facing the scheme during his sharpshooting days at Creighton. Iowa’s fast start fit the narratives coming into the game. The Hawkeyes had the nation’s No. 1 offense in terms of…
First top-5 win since 2016? Yeah, you saw this one coming, right? No one anticipated ten-point underdog Indiana’s stunning 81-69 upset of No. 4 Iowa before the game, and that outcome looked far less likely with 12 minutes left when the Hawkeyes had pulled out to a 53-44 advantage. IU flipped the switch at just the right moment in the game, securing a critical confidence and resume boosting victory at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. And now Indiana hopes they found the propellent towards something else they haven’t done since 2016 — the NCAA Tournament. Indiana (9-6, 4-4) will have a short turnaround. …
