Your team has shown a high degree of persistence when things don’t look good, which maybe we didn’t see last year. Is that just a maturity in your team, or is it — FRAN McCAFFERY: I think it’s all of that. We are more mature. We’ve been through it. Sometimes you have a chance to fail and you figure…

After losing four games in a row, the Indiana women’s basketball program found themselves squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble and in desperate need of a win. Enter the No. 10 Iowa Hawkeyes. There is no team in the Big Ten that presents a bigger challenge on the floor, and a better opportunity to enhance a NCAA resume. IU was up to the task on Thursday night. The Hoosiers completed a major second half comeback and then fought to preserve a late lead to gut out a 75-73 victory at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington. After Iowa tied the…

January 14th. If you are looking for a line of demarcation, that’s the date that the light switch was officially flipped to “off” as a once promising Indiana basketball season went dark. Your instincts probably told you that something seemed terribly wrong with this IU team during that Monday evening contest against Nebraska. In our Report Card for that game, we suggested that it felt like the season had “just taken a dramatic turn.” And Tuesday night after the Purdue game, head coach Archie Miller confirmed it. When pressed for a turning point to the season, the second year Hoosier…
Drastic changes, same outcome. Indiana found something between their embarrassing road loss at Minnesota on Saturday and their game against Purdue on Tuesday night. Energy, hustle, grit, determination — they were all on display in a manner that we haven’t witnessed all season from this 2018-19 Indiana basketball team. What wasn’t on display was an ability to make shots. Close range, long range, free throws, fast breaks, — nothing was going down in a performance that was Indiana’s worst of the season from the field. You wouldn’t be wrong to feel like some kind of deep, dark force is conspiring…

Indiana lost to Purdue on Tuesday night to fall to 13-13 overall and 4-11 in Big Ten play. The Hoosiers return to action on Friday night at Iowa. Stay tuned later for a complete recap with The Report Card. THREE KEYS TO THE GAME That is what REAL effort looks like. Let’s be real, the Marquette game was won with great efficiency from the field. Nobody loses shooting 65%. This game, this, is what a real sustained 40 minute effort looks like. Ultimately it results in a loss, but this team has to walk away from this game feeling like…

The time for thinking about the NCAA tournament has passed. The time for just trying to get a win has passed. The time for feeling sorry for yourself has passed. It is time to have some pride. And it is time to get mad. And therein lies the question. Can this team get mad? Can this team persevere when things get sideways? Can this team say “not in my house?” Indiana’s biggest rival on its schedule is coming to Bloomington on Tuesday night. And that begs the question. If not now, when?
