Upperclassmen guards often are the leaders of college basketball teams, and that will be the case with the 2019-20 Indiana Hoosiers. By a vote of their teammates, senior Devonte Green and junior Al Durham will be the captains for IU for the upcoming season. Green averaged 9.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game last year while shooting 40.2 percent from the field overall and 41% from long range. Indiana head coach Archie Miller said this about Green during last week’s IU basketball media day: “When he’s played well throughout his time with us we’ve had some great wins.…

So far Indiana redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix is two-for-two. If the Tampa, Florida product starts and finishes a game, the awards follow. The Big Ten Conference has named Penix the league’s freshman of the week after his standout performance at Michigan State on Saturday. Penix also won the award after his play in week one against Ball State. The 6-foot-3 left hander has only appeared in one other game this year for Indiana (3-2). Penix left IU’s week two contest against Eastern Illinois before halftime with an injury and missed the next two games before returning on Saturday against…
How Indiana redshirt freshman Michael Penix won the fall camp quarterback competition became abundantly clear on Saturday afternoon in East Lansing, Michigan. There had been flashes of the Tampa native’s immense potential over the course of the last year. But those eye catching moments in 2018 were always within the context of a quarterback rotation, and then Penix tore his ACL against Penn State just as it appeared he might be taking over full time. In 2019 Penix was impressive in the season opener against Ball State despite two interceptions, and then mysteriously left the second game early with what…

We’ve seen this story before. Indiana is 3-1 to open the 2019 season, but the Big Ten always separates pretenders from contenders. The Hoosiers found that out in resounding fashion against Ohio State two weeks ago. After a brief respite, Indiana returns to conference play against one of the top powers of the league. IU has kept things close against Michigan State in each of the last two years and beat the Spartans in 2016. But in their first true road test of the season, the Hoosiers will have to be at their very best to pull off what would…
With just four scholarship guards on the 2019-20 roster, IU basketball head coach Archie Miller wants to get this just right. The third year leader of the Hoosier program saw what happened to his team last year when starting point guard Rob Phinisee missed time with a concussion and struggled to return to his former self even when resuming play. The disastrous 12 losses in 13 games stretch began soon after Phinisee suffered a concussion, and the Lafayette native’s absence and recovery seemed to play a large role. “You saw our team last year at times when Rob was playing…
Back in May, Indiana head coach Archie Miller spoke about Butler graduate transfer Joey Brunk bringing a personality, passion and an energy level to the IU program. Those intangibles matter to Miller as the IU roster continues to transform from the Tom Crean era. Something else that the former North Carolina State player places a high value is his own point guard position. Miller has often referred to the point guard as an extension of the coaching staff, saying this earlier in the week at the IU basketball media day: “As the head coach, I look at our point guards…
For three straight weeks the story has been largely the same. Indiana starting quarterback Michael Penix is a game time decision with an undisclosed injury. While the game time label remains for Saturday’s contest against Michigan State at East Lansing, the narrative is at least changing somewhat. IU head coach Tom Allen acknowledged on Thursday that Penix did throw during practice this week, which actually revealed, or at least confirmed two things. Penix did not throw the football at all during pre-game warmups last weekend against UConn. Things are progressing. Second, Allen’s acknowledgment about Penix throwing the football seems to…
