From 1958 to 1980, Donald C. “Danny” Danielson served on the Indiana University Board of Trustees. When he passed in 2015, it was noted that his tenure on the board was the longest in the school’s history.

When he recommended the approval of the contracts for the construction of Assembly Hall to the board, IU President Elvis Stahr envisioned a structure that would be utilized by students well into the future. “Students…

A 6-foot-8 small forward from the New Hampton School in New Hampshire, Karaban put together a strong sophomore season averaging 20 points and 8.8 rebounds per contest.

It is difficult to successfully run IU basketball head coach Archie Miller’s preferred offensive attack without the right personnel. But with roster limitations, along with a rash of nagging injuries to point guard Rob Phinisee, that is exactly what the Hoosier head coach has been attempting to do during his first three years in Bloomington. Miller has been trumpeting his up-tempo transition offense since the day he arrived at IU. But whether due to personnel, injuries or the playing style in the Big Ten — or more likely — all of the above, Miller’s Indiana offense has mostly been bogged…

Circle the date. No, not the Old Oaken Bucket game in November. That one is obvious. Not a Halloween contest at Memorial Stadium against Penn State. That game against the Nittany Lions has the potential to be one of the highest profile games played in Bloomington in years. But it depends on how IU performs up to that point, and specifically, the week prior. No, the defining game of Indiana’s 2020 season should be Oct. 24. If all goes according to plan, the Hoosiers should be riding a five-game winning streak when the Michigan State Spartans arrive in Bloomington for…
