For the fifth game in a row, Indiana allowed its opponent to get out to an early lead on Saturday. For the fourth time this season, the Hoosiers responded quickly and decisively and appeared to be ready to cruise to a fourth win. This time the Hoosiers had to hang on to a late Rutgers’ response of their own, due in part to IU turnovers and questionable decision making in the fourth quarter.

Saturday afternoon represents IU fans’ first chance to see the teams, both of which include several new faces that are expected to play big roles in the upcoming season. We list those players below as well as the men’s basketball recruits that are expected to be in attendance. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION What: Hoosier Hysteria presented…
That photo may or may not be what Rutgers’ HighPoint Solutions Stadium looks like at kickoff tomorrow. Make no mistake about it — the Rutgers football program is in complete disarray.

Fort Wayne, Indiana native Keion Brooks, Jr. will join his AAU teammate and good friend Trayce Jackson-Davis at IU for an official visit. https://twitter.com/KeionB_12/status/1045699921524011009 The pair also took an official visit together to UCLA, and many believe that they will choose to play together in college.

It is a name that needs no introduction at this point. Hoosier fans have known about him since he was a freshman at Center Grove High School. Some affectionately refer to him simply as “TJD”. In connection with this weekend’s Hoosier Hysteria, Greenwood, Indiana native Trayce Jackson-Davis is in Bloomington for his official visit. https://twitter.com/TrayceJackson/status/1045418679855443968 Simply put — Indiana needs to win this recruiting battle — and we have yet to find anyone who is predicting that he will go elsewhere.
