Peyton Hendershot was on top of the world, reaching new milestones in his promising young career. But it wasn’t long before he got his first helping of humble pie. The first of many in 2020. At the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2 Hendershot was busy re-writing the IU football record books. Against Tennessee the 6-foot-4 Hendershot was able to set the IU season receiving marks for tight ends with 52 catches and 622 yards. But even as he was setting those records, the trouble began. At least his early problems were not of his own doing. Hendershot played through a…

No one has been with fourth year IU head coach Archie Miller in Bloomington longer than Race Thompson. It may not seem that way, because until 2020, we didn’t see much of the 6-foot-8 forward. The Plymouth, Minn. based Miller recruit arrived in Bloomington in 2017 along with Tom Crean recruit Al Durham. Thompson and Durham are the lone holdovers from Miller’s first Indiana team. Thompson redshirted his first year, and a severe concussion cost him almost the entire 2018-19 campaign. Almost an afterthought heading into 2019-20, Thompson started to emerge late in the season. His trendlines are still pointing…

There has been a bit of a learning curve. But it isn’t too much to handle for a Stanford graduate and IU Kelley School of Business enrollee. Defensive lineman Jovan Swann arrived at IU from Stanford this spring after spending four years in a 3 down linemen, 4 linebacker system. Now he is being asked to quickly acclimate to IU’s base 4-2-5 approach. While it might seem like more of a technicality, the nuances and details are everything at the power five level of college football. Add in an unusual offseason with limited organized team activities, and a new defensive…
In an ordinary year, the Indiana basketball schedule is finalized in August, with most of its components leaked out much earlier. We don’t need to tell you that 2020 is no ordinary year. And we probably don’t need to tell you that now well into October, there is still no IU basketball schedule. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a complete reset on the 2020-21 college basketball slate. Indiana games previously scheduled against NJIT, Nebraska-Omaha, and Robert Morris are unlikely to happen. Tightening budgets and a desire for less travel means that non-conference games are likely to have a much more…
Indiana head coach Tom Allen joined Dave Revsine on the Big Ten Network on Wednesday.

Indiana opens the 2020 season at home against Penn State on the weekend of Oct. 24. https://youtu.be/-lexBSsII-Y Video credit – BTN Find us on Facebook: thedailyhoosier You can follow us on Twitter: @daily_hoosier The Daily Hoosier –“Where Indiana fans assemble when they’re not at Assembly” Seven ways to support completely free IU coverage at no additional cost to you.
If his lone goal was to start from day one, Jack Tuttle could have picked a more attractive transfer destination. After arriving in Bloomington in early 2019, the California product walked right into one of the better quarterback competitions in recent IU history. Of course as things turned out, Tuttle ended up No. 3 on the depth chart in 2019. After not playing as a freshman at Utah, and attempting only 11 passes for Indiana in 2019, it would have been easy for Tuttle to get frustrated and check out. But Tuttle also saw how quickly things can change in…

The first clue about Indiana’s 2020-21 schedule emerged on Wednesday morning. College basketball analyst Jon Rothstein reported the bracket for the Maui Invitational. “Sources: The bracket for the 2020 Maui Invitational in Asheville is set,” Rothstein wrote on Twitter. “North Carolina/UNLV Alabama/Stanford Texas/Davidson Indiana/Providence.” The Maui Invitational later released the entire bracket. Indiana will tip-off the event at 2:30 p.m. ET on Nov. 30. Depending on the outcome of their first round game, IU would face either Texas or Davidson next. Providence had a resume that looked similar to Indiana in 2019-20. The Friars finished with a 19-12 record, finishing…
