Indiana goes back out on the road for a Friday evening tilt with the Maryland Terrapins. The Hoosiers are off to a slow start in true road tests, going 1-3 on the season. IU will catch a bit of a break with this one, as the Maryland students do not return to campus for classes until Monday. Nevertheless, the XFinity Center is a solid home venue that will provide a major challenge for the Hoosiers. Maryland has won four games in a row, including a rather surprising 82-67 road win against Minnesota in their last outing on Tuesday. Indiana, on…

BREAKING UPDATE (1/11, 6:15 p.m.) — Indiana Freshman point guard Rob Phinisee has been cleared to play in tonight’s game against Maryland according to multiple reports.

The top choice of many Hoosier fans may be off the board. Based on a report by Pittsburgh Sports Now, Indiana University alum and former offensive coordinator Matt Canada passed on an opportunity to return to that post in Bloomington. In a story on the possibility that Canada might return to Pittsburgh, where he was also previously an offensive coordinator, Mike Vukovcan relayed this as it relates to Canada returning to IU — “This same source told PSN that Canada has turned down an opportunity to become the offensive coordinator at his alma mater, Indiana. Apparently, Canada wasn’t comfortable with…

You just conduct some interviews, extend your offer, and voila, you have a new offensive coordinator. Right? Not so fast my friend. If only this decision, that will likely also decide the fate of Tom Allen’s own job, was so simple. The reality? It is a tangled web that will make your head hurt if you let it. Kliff Kingsbury is the new head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. He was briefly the new offensive coordinator at USC. Now the Trojans are back in the market for a playcaller. Kingsbury, by the way, has gone from fired college head coach,…
Archie Miller identified the problem. Indiana needs to be tougher. But identifying the issue is only half of the battle. The issue isn’t specific to Indiana’s 2018-19 team. Indiana State and Fort Wayne ring a bell? To be sure, things are different this year. Despite a rash of injuries, IU is more talented than last year’s team. The Hoosiers also have players with a year under their belts in Archie Miller’s system. That’s why slow starts haven’t always led to being run out of the gym like they did at times last year. No, this IU team has the talent…

For the fifth time in program history, the IU women’s basketball team is ranked in the AP Top 25. The voters are giving the Hoosiers somewhat of a trial run, slotting them in at No. 25 this week. Now the challenge will be staying there. The Hoosier women’s program does not have a long history of being ranked in the AP Top 25, and when they’ve gotten there, they haven’t stayed long. IU was ranked for one week in 1993 and 2014 before dropping out the following week each time. The Hoosiers were ranked in the preseason poll in 2016…
