Big Ten play arrives for a quick two game test run on Saturday as the Northwestern Wildcats visit Bloomington. Coming on the heels of a disappointing loss at Duke on Tuesday, Indiana needs to play well on its home floor to get off to a good start in league play and avoid a losing streak. With four consecutive games forthcoming against KenPom top 60 opponents, these next few weeks will be a good gauge of where the Hoosiers stand. IU head coach Archie Miller shared a bit of good news at his press conference on Friday, indicating that except for…

We hear Santa Barbara is nice this time of year. Okay, it’s nice there all year, but it will be an especially nice time for the IU men’s soccer team to visit with the 2018 College Cup on the California coast next weekend. Pushed on by 5,159 fans, the 8th largest crowd in Bill Armstrong Stadium history, the Hoosiers found their edge in the second half after a sluggish start. The No. 1 Hoosiers advance to their NCAA record 20th College Cup with a 1-0 win over No. 13 Notre Dame in Bloomington. https://twitter.com/IndianaMSOC/status/1068689164600786944 Indiana will face Maryland next Friday…
UPDATE: Jackson-Davis has also signed his national letter of intent with IU. You can see the tweet from Indiana below. You can expect a celebration tonight in Greenwood, Indiana, as IU commits go head to head. Center Grove’s Trayce Jackson-Davis will face off against Cathedral’s Armaan Franklin, and they’ll do it both as IU class of 2019 commits. Jackson-Davis broke the news via Twitter on Friday afternoon: https://twitter.com/TrayceJackson/status/1068599382298251265 In the end, it was all about playing in state. Jackson-Davis said this to Jake Weingarten of Stock Risers: TJD: Staying home and playing in front of fans means the most, It’s…
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.
