If you are not confused then you haven’t been paying attention. Indiana started the season winning 12 of their first 14 games.  Then they lost 12 of 13.  Now the Hoosiers have won two straight over top 20 teams. Where this wild ride is headed next is anyone’s guess. Indiana lost by 23 at home to Michigan just over a month ago.  Michigan State just went to Ann Arbor and took down the Wolverines last weekend.  And now of course, Indiana finishes their series sweep of the Spartans. The Hoosiers took down No. 6 Michigan State on Saturday afternoon, the…

It all seemingly comes down to this for Indiana and Michigan State. The Hoosiers cling to miniscule NCAA Tournament chances propped up only by so-called quadrant one wins.  Michigan State comes to Bloomington and presents the last regular season opportunity to pick up another one of those ultra-valuable victories.

MSU seems to have caught Indiana’s early season injury bug, with at least two season opening starters out on…

It has been discussed ad nauseam to this point.  Something has been missing from this Indiana basketball team.  No, not the perimeter shooting.  That has clearly been missing.  But it has been more than that.  Something intangible. At the same time, something has changed over the last two weeks since an embarrassing road loss to Minnesota. Indiana finally picked up another win on Tuesday night against Wisconsin, and most would agree that over the course of the last few games this Hoosier squad is giving “unquestioned max effort” to borrow Archie Miller’s term. Maybe something has finally clicked with this…

Marco Killingsworth was one of the nation’s most highly sought after high school basketball players in the 2001 recruiting class. While recruiting services were not nearly as prevalent as they are today, the Birmingham, Alabama native was on the radar of virtually every major program in the country. A product of Central Park Christian Academy, Killingsworth was a first team Parade All-American who was ranked as the third-best power forward in the country by Hoop Scoop (12th overall player), Border Wars and Athlon’s. Killingsworth’s 30 points, 13 rebounds and seven blocks per game and .670 field goal percentage led Central…
