We know what we think about this 2018-19 IU basketball season.  We know what you think too.  While there are varying degrees of optimism, everyone inside the IU bubble that we have spoken to is excited about this year’s edition of the Hoosiers. But collectively, you the Hoosier fandom are a dangerous lot.  Sometimes what you want to see happen clouds your better judgment. Yes the Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford duo should be very good, but how well can second year coach Archie Miller harmonize all of the new faces with the returning veterans and improve on a 16-15…

Indiana opens the 2018-19 men’s basketball season at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday on BTN. We could do an in depth analysis of IU’s first opponent Chicago State.  Yes, we could do that.  We doubt that you would really want to know that much about the No. 344 (out of 353) team in the country according to the KenPom rankings.  For games like this, you are likely much more interested in your first opportunity to see what IU is all about rather than the opponent. If you know nothing about Chicago State, here is what you need to know about the…

We wanted to write a story about all of the players on the IU basketball team that are dealing with injuries. It might be a quicker exercise to talk about the players that are not. That’s an exaggeration of course, but based on our count, five Hoosiers are dealing with various issues — and we haven’t even gotten to the season opener.  That’s on Tuesday, and the question now is how many of the following will see the floor against Chicago State as IU opens its 119th season: Sophomore guard Al Durham, Jr. has been seen walking around campus in…

It has been a long and winding journey for Indiana University basketball senior forward Juwan Morgan. From an injury riddled freshman year that included a Big Ten title and a Sweet 16 run, to a breakout junior year that led Morgan to 2nd team All-Big Ten, the Waynesville, Missouri native has seen it all. After two years with Tom Crean, Morgan is ready to begin his second year with head coach Archie Miller, and he will do it as a senior co-captain along with Zach McRoberts. Morgan met with the media on Monday afternoon to discuss a wide range of…

Indiana University men’s basketball coach Archie Miller gave a Monday afternoon press conference to provide an update on the team and preview this week’s season opening games against Chicago State and Montana State. Notable remarks from Miller included: Junior guard Devonte Green has returned to practice and should be ready to play against Chicago State. Freshman Race Thompson and sophomore Al Durham are not likely to be available this week. Freshman wing Jerome Hunter is not likely to play either. The number of injuries have been enough to negatively impact practice.  None of them sound like they are long term…

The Indiana University football program is back on its regular schedule after a much needed bye week.  The Hoosiers are reeling, losers of four in a row after a grueling 38-31 loss to Minnesota a week ago. The Maryland Terrapins come to Bloomington this weekend (Noon, Saturday) for what is undeniably a must win football game. Hoosier head coach Tom Allen met with the media on Monday to discuss Minnesota and Maryland.  He also gave the following injury updates: Jacob Robinson — still working his way back, has a chance to play. T.D. Roof — practicing again, really benefited from…

College basketball is back, and Hoosiers from Fort Wayne to Evansville, Gary to Richmond, and everywhere in between are preparing to get hysterical about the game they love. In 49 states, it’s just a game.  In the state of Indiana, we need our own power rankings.  Every week we’ll help settle the ongoing debate regarding who are the best of the ten Division One college basketball teams in the basketball crazed state of Indiana. Here are the preseason state of Indiana NCAA Division One men’s college basketball power rankings.  Let the debate begin. Current Indiana teams in Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology: …
