As I left my media seat after last week’s Indiana victory over Illinois and started to make my way down to the press room I was struck by something I heard legendary IU public address announcer Chuck Crabb say. He simply said that the game was a sellout. Nothing controversial there right? This was a Big Ten game, and this is Indiana. Of course it was a sellout. The reason Crabb’s statement caught my attention on this night was because for the last 2 hours the view to my left was the picture above. Doesn’t exactly look like a sellout,…

Indiana has found ways to win this year with ball security and energy. On this night against Nebraska, Indiana was sorely lacking in both. Indiana has changed its turnover prone reputation from last year, cutting about 2 turnovers per game off its average. Tonight IU tied its highest turnover total on the season with 19. While the Hoosiers no doubt brought energy on the defensive end, the Cornhuskers were able to regularly chase down offensive rebounds to create second opportunities. It added up to a 66-57 Nebraska win as the Hoosiers’ 4 game winning streak is snapped. IU hosts Ohio…

When a team pulls out a tight game with a late game winning basket it is usually the shooter that gets all of the attention. In yesterday’s 84-82 Indiana victory over Iowa, it was Freddie McSwain that hit what would become the game winner. But it was the pass that set him up for that shot that deserves all of the fanfare on this day. Devonte Green has experience with being in the position to make a big last minute pass for a potential game changing basket. Except that the last time it happened, it didn’t go well for the…
Indiana finally had a big day shooting 3-pointers — and it needed every one of them. On a day when its resurgent defense was struggling to get stops and the Hoosiers were getting dominated on the glass, it was of all things Indiana’s perimeter shooting that saved the day. IU keeps it rolling with its fourth win in a row as it keeps its postseason hopes alive. It won’t get any easier as the Hoosiers stay on the road in the Plains, this time at 4th place Nebraska on Tuesday. Indiana wins this one, 84-82. Overall: B It was a game…
