Back on January 5th, Indiana sat at 12-2 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten. All of the talk on that day before a road trip to Michigan was the upcoming brutal eight game schedule. If they could just get through those eight games at .500, right? Not so much. Indiana of course won only one of those eight games — strangely enough the one that probably seemed the least winnable a month ago. Much like the Midwest weather this time of year, it was long, dark, cold month. Coming into Groundhog Day, the IU season was starting to feel…
[For Indiana Football National Signing Day updates, go to our live tracker here.] Here we go again. After an impressive December early signing period haul, the Indiana University football program is looking to put a bow on what appears on track to be their best recruiting class in the rankings service era. The Hoosiers picked up 19 signed letters of intent in December. Wednesday marks the traditional February national signing day, and it looks to be a hectic one for head coach Tom Allen and the Hoosiers as they close out their class of 2019. After receiving the commitment of…
Indiana fans can apparently exhale. Senior co-captain and preseason All-Big Ten forward Juwan Morgan returned to practice on Monday according to Indiana head basketball coach Archie Miller on his weekly radio show with Don Fischer. Morgan left Saturday’s game against Michigan State in the first half with a left shoulder injury. The Missouri native injured the same shoulder as a freshman and required surgery at the end of that season. It sounds like Morgan should be ready for Thursday night’s contest against Iowa. Miller indicated “He’s not 100 percent but hopefully by the end of the week he’s feeling better without…
Archie Miller wasn’t lying. Perhaps he was being a little coy, but he wasn’t lying. The second year Hoosier head coach said this on Friday afternoon to a pool of reporters in response to a question on the health of junior forward De’Ron Davis: “We’re looking at De’Ron as that February target of trying to get back in the mix, so I think he’s going to start to really try to jump back in, so to speak, into practice.” He did say February target — and Indiana’s game against Michigan State was in February. But that sure didn’t sound like…
Hoosier fans will want to be on the lookout for No. 76 on the Los Angeles Rams tonight. As both the longest tenured Ram and former Indiana Hoosier in the National Football League, Rodger Saffold has been at this for a while. Nine seasons in the NFL, and it could all pay off on the game’s biggest stage — the Super Bowl. No one could have seen this coming 15 years ago. Rated just a two-star recruit in high school, Saffold wasn’t recruited at the highest levels of college football. He chose to attend IU over Illinois, Kansas and Ohio.…
To say the least, this 2018-19 Indiana basketball season has been bizarre. Nothing illustrates that better than a seven game losing streak immediately on the heels of a seven game winning streak. Beyond that, the number of injuries suffered by this team is almost beyond comprehension. But nothing was more bizarre or incomprehensible than the Hoosiers’ 79-75 overtime victory on Saturday night against No. 6 Michigan State. The win ended the seven game skid and came in a building where the Hoosiers had only won two other times in 30 years. While the losing finally ended, the injuries did not,…

With Indiana riding a seven game losing streak, the Breslin Center seemed like a highly unlikely place for the Hoosiers to return to their early season winning ways. The odds makers agreed, slotting IU as a 14.5 point underdog against No. 6 Michigan State. After an injury to All-Big Ten senior captain Juwan Morgan, what had once seemed unlikely looked impossible. Morgan hurt his left shoulder diving for a loose ball in the first half. Some how, some way, in the face of so much adversity and a month long run of poor play and misfortune, Indiana persevered. While Morgan…
