Indiana head basketball coach Archie Miller met with the media on Friday afternoon to look back on Tuesday’s loss against Duke and preview Saturday’s Big Ten home opener against Northwestern. After having as many as eight players dealing with various injuries, Miller indicated that all but two players are back to full go at practice and expected to play without restrictions on Saturday. Race Thompson and Jerome Hunter continue to be on an “indefinite” timetable. Later in the video, Evan Fitzner and Zach McRoberts take questions. Indiana hosts Northwestern at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. https://www.facebook.com/IndianaMBB/videos/2325299891026085/ You can follow us on…

You’re forgiven if you didn’t see this coming. When not one, but two program all-timers graduated after a magical 2018 WNIT championship run, it was reasonable to believe that the Indiana women’s basketball team might take a step back. Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill were that important. Here we are eight months later, and IU head basketball coach Teri Moren has the Hoosiers off to a 6-0 start — the best start to a season for the fifth year program leader. How is this possible? While we don’t always have the patience to allow coaches to build-up a program, that’s…
– Originally Published April 12, 2018 – Hoosier fans should pat themselves on the back. It seems like every time someone does a documentary or feature interview involving Indiana basketball, there is a paywall involved. Whether it was the Showtime special on the 1976 team, the Joe Buck interview of Bob Knight, or ESPN’s 30 for 30 on Bob Knight’s firing at IU, the networks assume that the large and passionate Hoosier Nation will open their wallets. Hidden behind a paywall for more than seven months, the network finally aired the documentary on television on Thursday night. Below is the…
*Checks calendar* Yes, it is still November, but for the second year in a row and presumably from now on, Big Ten basketball is about to begin. Starting this weekend, teams will play two league games in early December before resuming pre-conference action. Teams will then pick things back up in late December on the conference’s more traditional schedule. With the benefit of three weeks of the season under our belts, it is time to predict the 2018-19 Big Ten conference basketball race. Predictions are of course more for entertainment than anything else — but one things seems clear. This…
The 2018 Indiana football season has come to an end, and nine Hoosiers have received recognition from the Big Ten for their performance on the field and sportsmanship. The players include four that will be back with the team next year. Adapted from an IU release — SECOND TEAM ALL BIG TEN Logan Justus Justus continues the Hoosiers run of all-conference kickers as Griffin Oakes earned Bakken-Andersen Kicker of the Year and first team accolades in 2015 and 2017, and Mitch Ewald collected second team laurels in 2013. One of 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Award, Justus finished the…
It was reality check time in Durham, North Carolina on Tuesday night, as Indiana walked into a buzz saw. The Hoosiers seemed to walk willingly into that buzz saw, with countless mistakes of their own doing that ultimately doomed them. Duke extended the lead into double figures less than seven minutes into the game, and really never looked back. A combination of IU turnovers, poor shooting, and a slow reacting defense made sure of that. On the positive side, IU is starting to get healthy again, with Zach McRoberts and Devonte Green returning to action after extended layoffs. Both will…
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski met with the media after Duke’s 90-69 win over Indiana on Tuesday night. The Hoosiers fell to 5-2 on the season and will now prepare to face Northwestern on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in the team’s Big Ten opener.

Indiana faced their toughest test of the season on Tuesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and they didn’t handle it well — to put it lightly. Duke got off to a fast start, and IU never had answers. Season high turnovers and a season low field goal percentage buried any hope of staying in the game or manufacturing a rally. If there was a bright side, it really had nothing to do with the game itself. The Hoosiers saw the return of two key veterans in Zach McRoberts and Devonte Green. Both players saw extensive action and should be in…
Since the Indiana basketball schedule was officially released back in August, a challenging stretch of five games in late November and early December jumped off the page. And now here we are, and the journey begins with what is by far the toughest of the five, and most likely the toughest of the entire regular season. Indiana goes back out on the road for the second time this season to face one of the better teams in the country in one of the better venues in the country. Oh, and they arguably have the best coach in the history of…
