If you haven’t read it, ESPN’s Jeff Borzello wrote a great article recently that summarizes what that long recruitment was really all about. No, it wasn’t about Adidas and arm sleeves as some wanted you to believe. From the IU perspective, here’s the bottom line. When it comes to recruiting…
You know that knot you had in your stomach in the final minutes of Saturday’s game against Northwestern? Get used to it. That seems to be the template for Big Ten basketball in 2018-19.

Hoosier Nation will have to wait with bated breath…

Talk about a win that you can’t feel good about. As the final minutes ticked off the clock, Indiana fans watched with one eye on the game, and one eye on Juwan Morgan.

IU head coach Archie Miller shared a bit of good news at his press conference on Friday, indicating that except for…
We hear Santa Barbara is nice this time of year.

Pushed on by 5,159 fans, the 8th largest crowd in Bill Armstrong Stadium history, the Hoosiers found their edge in the second half after a sluggish start.
