We are embarking on a critical year three for Indiana head coach Tom Allen, and the conditions are right for this program to take a step forward. Improving recruiting classes are being stacked. Impressive new coordinators are in place. Facilities are being upgraded yet again. It’s time to accelerate things. So how does Indiana next level this program from consecutive 5-7 seasons? In 2018, the buzz word around the strength and conditioning program for Indiana football was speed. For 2019, just being fast won’t be good enough. Everybody is fast in the Big Ten. Just clocking in at 20 miles…

It was comical to read and listen to all of the faux outrage this past week when the Indiana University student section chanted profanity at a Purdue basketball player. Who knew that thousands of drunk college kids at a sporting event might lose their cool from time to time? Oh the humanity! Was it a slow news week? Or perhaps some of the reporters hadn’t been around long enough to know first hand what a real spectacle looks like. While certainly none of those derisive students on Tuesday night were there to see it, perhaps they were channeling a much…
Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse. In a game that it felt like Indiana just might find a way to win, along comes all 6-foot-0, 180 pounds of Iowa’s Jordan Bohannon. Again. With three minutes remaining in regulation the Hawkeye guard had three points. In what seemed like the blink of an eye he ended the game with 17 points including four late three-pointers to break Hoosier hearts yet again. It wasn’t as if the Hoosiers forget about Bohannon. He just stepped up and found ways to give himself room and knock down closely guarded shots. But that…

Another day, another heartbreaking loss. Indiana loses its 12th game out of its last 13 in overtime at Iowa on Friday night. The Hoosiers (13-14, 4-12) will face Wisconsin on Tuesday night in Bloomington. THREE KEYS TO THE GAME No quit in this team…but they can’t catch a break. FS1 Broadcaster Andy Katz perhaps said it best — if you parachuted in for the game and had no idea that IU had lost 11 of 12, you would never know it by the way they are playing. IU played hard throughout but once again could not close things out down…
This 2019 Big Ten doesn’t give you a chance to breathe. Think you might have found something against Purdue? Great, go on the road and face a top 25 Iowa team that just beat you two weeks ago in Bloomington. It’s just like that. But at this late point in the season, either Indiana embraces the opportunity, or they start making their spring break plans. After just playing in a very close contest with the Hawkeyes, Indiana knows that they can compete here. Knowing it and going out and executing down to the final buzzer have been two completely different…
Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery discussed Indiana leading up to Friday night’s contest in Iowa City. The Hoosiers and Hawkeyes tip-off at 9:00 p.m. Eastern from Carver-Hawkeye Arena. You can see the full transcript of McCaffery’s comments further below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LvH-VyjoFY Q. 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…
