This is going to sting for a while.  While Indiana struggled for much of the game, they found themselves tied, with the ball, and the shot clock off — with what appeared to be at worst, overtime.  Instead, the Hoosiers missed multiple shots at the rim and were whistled for a loose ball foul with two seconds remaining — giving Arkansas a chance to win the game at the foul line.  And that’s exactly what the Razorbacks did. It was a disappointing sequence on many levels, but ultimately, Indiana made a lot of mistakes throughout the game to put themselves…

Indiana shutout UConn on Sunday afternoon, 4-0, at Jerry Yeagley Field and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. The No. 2 Hoosiers were dominant from start to finish as they outshot the Huskies 22-3 in the contest. After registering 6 corner kicks through the opening 15 minutes, Indiana broke a scoreless tie at 16:07, as Andrew Gutman headed home IU’s seventh corner kick to give the Hoosiers a 1-0 lead. https://twitter.com/IndianaMSOC/status/1064209026412613635 Indiana increased its lead to two goals after Rece Buckmaster beat the UConn goalie and netted a goal four yards out from the near right side.

Rapid reaction from a heartbreaking 73-72 loss to Arkansas on Sunday afternoon.  The Hoosiers hung around for the entire game and had a chance to win at the end.  With the game tied, a missed layup by Rob Phinisee and a missed put back by De’Ron Davis in the final seconds followed by a questionable foul call on Davis prevented the Hoosiers from coming out on top. Below are our three keys to the game and the final box score and specialty stats.  Check back later tonight for our complete post-game report card. 1. Foul trouble presents major challenges.  Juwan…

Indiana is coming off their first big win of the year, after a 96-73 victory over No. 24 Marquette on Wednesday night.  But a big test awaits on Sunday. The Hoosiers will face their first road game of the year — and it comes at Arkansas, one of the more challenging environments in the nation. The game will mark IU’s first ever trip to Fayetteville to face the Razorbacks.  Since head coach Mike Anderson took over the Arkansas program in 2011, the Razorbacks have the sixth most home victories in the country. Anderson is in his eighth season in Fayetteville…

For yet another season, it’s the Big Ten East Wall 4, Indiana 0. Yes they led at halftime against No. 4 Michigan on the road on their senior day.  Yes they scrapped and clawed the entire game against the national playoff contender.  Yes they gave an inspiring effort that showed that this team is still fighting under the direction of head coach Tom Allen. Unfortunately, none of that matters.  The Hoosiers lost the game in Ann Arbor 31-20 and dropped to 5-6 on the season. Indiana lost all four games to the titans of their division in 2018, and once…

There are a lot of connection between the Indiana and Michigan football programs. Former Michigan players Mike Hart (running backs) and Nick Sheridan (quarterbacks) are coaching on the Indiana staff, and offensive coordinator Mike DeBord is a former Michigan offensive coordinator. Michigan’s roster features three Indiana natives: RB Chris Evans (Indianapolis/Ben Davis), LB Cam McGrone (Indianapolis/Lawrence Central) and QB Brandon Peters (Avon). The similarities end there.  Indiana hasn’t won in this series since 1987.  Michigan is firmly in the running for the college football playoff, while Indiana is clinging to bowl eligibility. No, it doesn’t look promising on Saturday.  But…

In an update to a story that we shared with you in yesterday’s Daily Hoosier Report, Rivals has now noted that Keion Brooks, Jr. canceled* his official visit to Michigan State that was scheduled for this weekend. In the Rivals story the Fort Wayne, Indiana native indicates that he is close to making a decision on what school he will attend for the 2019-20 season: “I would say that I’m close to making a decision. I don’t think I will sign early because I don’t think that fits my timetable. But I think in a couple of weeks or a…

The Indiana Hoosiers (5-5) are going to have their hands full on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. for a tilt at the Big House with the No. 4 ranked Michigan Wolverines. The good news — IU has taken the Wolverines into overtime in two of the last three years. The bad news — the Hoosiers haven’t defeated Michigan since 1987, and as a big road underdog, that doesn’t appear likely to change this year, especially not on their Senior Day. “But that’s why they play the game.”  And people are talking about that game, including Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh…
