Better late than never. After a miserable stretch that saw Indiana lose 12 of 13 games during Big Ten play, the Hoosiers have almost inexplicably found themselves at would could quite literally be the last possible moment. Indiana played their best offensive game in months on Thursday night at Illinois, and in so doing continued to enhance an NCAA Tournament resume that just two weeks ago appeared to be a lost cause. 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…

If the IU women’s basketball team was nervous about their likely win-and-you-are-in the NCAA Tournament scenario, they didn’t show it. The Hoosiers (20-11) came out blazing in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis and never looked back against Minnesota. In a game that was widely viewed as the final piece of IU’s NCAA resume, Indiana defeated the Gophers 66-58 on Thursday night and will face Iowa in the quarterfinals on Friday at 6:30 p.m. eastern. The Hoosiers started the game hot from the field and jumped out to a 20-10 first quarter lead.  By halftime Ali…

Indiana head football coach Tom Allen and his coaching staff have carried their in-state recruiting momentum into the class of 2020. Carmel High School linebacker Ty Wise announced via Twitter that he has committed to IU, becoming the first commit in the Hoosiers’ 2020 class. https://twitter.com/Tywise2020/status/1103660873833504768 Being the first in the class seems appropriate, as Indiana was the first Division One school to offer Wise. The 6-foot-2, 210 pound Wise had also received offers from several MAC conference schools including Ball State.  Multiple other Big Ten schools were also showing interest. As a junior in 2018, Wise totaled 56 solo…

This was supposed to be the easier part of the schedule, but the reality in the Big Ten in 2019 is this:  There is no easy part of the schedule. Illinois and Sunday’s opponent Rutgers were near consensus picks to be the bottom two teams in the Big Ten.  While they are in fact near the bottom, both have managed impressive midseason turnarounds that have Indiana’s easy landing to close out league play looking a bit uncertain. Step one is Illinois, a team that has won six of their last ten, including just one home loss in that span.  The…

You were probably skeptical at the time he said it, but now it seems clear.  Something changed after that forgettable game in Minnesota. Indiana head coach Archie Miller promised “drastic changes” coming out of that blowout loss to the Gophers, and while a couple more losses followed, few would argue against the notion that the Hoosiers have been a different team in the ensuing games. What has been the secret?  Better effort?  Yes.  Better togetherness on defense?  Yes. But it was something that Miller said on Wednesday at a media availability in advance of Thursday’s game at Illinois that stood…
