For the first time in more than a month Indiana’s students will be on campus for a home basketball game. They will be rewarded for the long wait as one of the best teams in the country visits Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Michigan State will arrive in Bloomington with revenge on their minds, but to do it they will have to overcome what should be an electric environment at Indiana. The Hoosiers swept MSU last year, but it was the Spartans who had the last laugh as they advanced to the Final Four. This year both teams are looking to…

A four year starter at left tackle for Indiana is staying in the Big Ten — but he won’t be playing in Bloomington. After putting his name in the NCAA’s transfer portal two weeks ago, offensive lineman Coy Cronk’s name now appears in the University of Iowa student directory. The Lafayette, Ind. product would appear to be in line to succeed Iowa tackle Tristan Wirfs, who should be on track to go in the top-10 in the 2020 NFL Draft. Cronk suffered a season ending lower leg injury on Sept. 21 against Connecticut. Because he did not play in more…
As is almost always the case when Indiana has faced Michigan State under Tom Izzo, Thursday night’s contest against the Spartans is a big challenge for IU. On several occasions in the past, however, the Hoosiers have pulled through against great Michigan State teams, including several instances where the Spartans were ranked significantly higher than IU. The Hoosiers are 14-7 all-time against Izzo at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Today we take a look back at some of the more memorable IU home wins over Tom Izzo led Spartan teams: MARCH 2, 2019: THE IMPROBABLE SWEEP Freshman point guard Rob Phinisee…

It is a common refrain in the media room by the players. Under the direction of third year head coach Archie Miller, Indiana works on defense a lot in practice. Whether it is to get his young squad indoctrinated into the principles, or perhaps a recognition of where his team’s potential strengths lie, when you come to a Miller practice right now you had better be ready to work on the defensive end. The extra effort appears to be paying off. “We went from a bad defensive team in November, to an average defensive team in December, to now as…

When the 2018-19 edition of IU basketball picked up win No. 12 at home against Illinois last Jan. 3, the NCAA Tournament looked like a near certainty. Ranked No. 21 with a 12-2 record, the Hoosiers were rolling up wins despite a series of nagging injuries. Of course you know the story. Those injuries got worse before they got better, and win No. 13 would not come until Feb. 2. Another three and a half weeks passed before the Hoosiers were able to secure another win, this time on Feb. 26 after two overtimes in Bloomington against Wisconsin. During an…
