Indiana basketball head coach Archie Miller along with senior forward Evan Fitzner and junior forward De’Ron Davis met with the media on Tuesday afternoon to preview this week’s games against Marquette and Arkansas.

Devonte Green and Zach McRoberts are game time decisions against Marquette. Note:  The Miller video starts :13 seconds in.  You’ll need to skip ahead to 30:50 for the player segment. You may need to turn off mute on the video itself to pick up the…

With an Indiana offer in hand and IU connections, Markus Howard was at one time a Hoosier hopeful.  Now he is just a Hoosier nightmare. While the Hoosiers landed their own high scoring number zero in the recruiting wars in Romeo Langford, IU came up short with Marquette’s number zero Howard. Markus’ father Chuck was a two year letter winner as an IU running back in 1983 and 1984, playing for the program from 1981 to 1986.  That career spanned multiple notable football coaching names — Lee Corso, Sam Wyche and Bill Mallory. Indiana offered Markus a scholarship in May…

Indiana faces No. 24 Marquette on Wednesday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.  Back in May when this contest was first announced we took a look back to the last meeting between the programs. It was announced last night that Indiana will host Marquette in the 2018 Gavitt Tipoff Games in November.  It will be the first meeting between the programs since 2001 and the 10th all-time contest. Hoosier fans couldn’t know it at the time, but a frustrating 50-49 loss to Marquette at the Great Alaska Shootout in 2001 would end up being a very interesting game to look back…

The talking points go back to August and the fall camp quarterback competition in Bloomington. Sure Peyton Ramsey is efficient.  Sure he makes the least mistakes.  But can he throw the deep ball? We were assured that his arm strength had improved, and he could, in fact stretch defenses vertically.  But the questions persisted — and they persisted because, well, Indiana was not even attempting vertical passes. When quizzed on the topic, IU offensive coordinator Mike DeBord’s response was generally along the lines of that Indiana was, to paraphrase, “taking what the defense is giving us.”  With defenses stacking the…

The Indiana University men’s soccer program has high standards.  Really high standards.  The kind of standards that you can only realistically expect to achieve when you are both presently and historically one of, if not the best, programs in the country. So far the Hoosiers are achieving those goals in historic fashion. Job one was to win the Big Ten regular season and IU did that — and did it in style — securing their first perfect Big Ten record since 2002.  Due to league expansion, it was the first time in conference history a team has gone 8-0-0. Next…

Original Story: After a 1-2 start to his first season at Indiana, Archie Miller has the Hoosiers off and running at 2-0 this year.  IU has yet…

Things sure didn’t look promising at the outset.  With Maryland marching down the field on two consecutive drives sandwiched around an IU three and out, bowl eligibility looked like a lost cause for Indiana.  Much like the Minnesota game two weeks ago, the Hoosiers were on their heels on defense and inept on offense. While Tom Allen’s defense was bent — it didn’t break in the early going, and those early drives only resulted in a 6-0 Maryland lead.  Ultimately, that may have been the key to the game. Next a combination of what IU has severely lacked on the…
