It will be a rematch in Chicago, and perhaps with the big dance on the line. Indiana (17-14, 8-12) and Ohio State (18-13, 8-12) will meet again on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Eastern at the United Center in Chicago. Both teams are considered to be on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. The Hoosiers are the No. 9 seed in the conference tournament, and the Buckeyes, No. 8.  The winner will face Michigan State on Friday. The teams met on February 10 in a game that went down to the wire in Bloomington.  The Buckeyes won the game 55-52, but…

Juwan Morgan, Zach McRoberts, Evan Fitzner, Johnny Jager and Quentin Taylor will all be playing their last game at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.  Of course it is also likely the final home game for freshman guard Romeo Langford, who is a near certainty to leave for the NBA after the season. That is all, of course, assuming that the Hoosiers actually reach the big dance.  Otherwise, an encore home court performance in the NIT may be…

While being left out was disappointing in 2018, it wasn’t a complete surprise either.  Most prognostications had the Hoosiers on the outside looking in on selection day. The expectations started anew…

With a 92-74 win at the State Farm Center, the Hoosiers have now won three games in a row and return home for the final regular season game…
