Between the NFL Scouting Combine and the 2018 NFL Draft, NFL coaches and scouts have turned their attention to pro day workouts at the various schools. Indiana’s pro day is April 3. These sessions are not as all-encompassing as the combine, but are important enough for the key decision-makers in the league to travel around the country for more than a month to watch the talent up close and in person. The Hoosiers that will be participating in the event at IU will be the following 11 players: WR Simmie Cobbs LB Chris Covington S Chase Dutra CB Rashard Fant S Tony Fields…

It was the final send-off for beloved seniors Tyra Buss and Amanda Cahill. It was an all-time attendance record at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. And quite frankly, this WNIT Championship game was over before it started. It’s time to raise another banner in Bloomington. To be sure, Virginia Tech was good. Very good. But Indiana just wasn’t going to lose this game, on this day, in front of that crowd. After a recount it was announced that 13,007 fans showed up to support this deserving team, obliterating the previous program record by nearly 3,000 people. The game started out with…

Indiana University men’s basketball recruiting target Romeo Langford spent the week in Atlanta participating in the McDonald’s All-American Game and related activities. After several different interviews and other media events, we heard more from the New Albany, Indiana guard in the last few days than we have heard in months. Whether or not we actually learned anything is another question. Langford fielded every question imaginable regarding his final three recruiting choices (Indiana, Kansas and Vanderbilt), and there never really seemed to be a “tell” when he was talking about his options. Some have suggested via social media and other reports…
The calendar still says March, and while the IU baseball team continues to battle the snow and cold, today is opening day across Major League Baseball.

Below are the players that are listed on those rosters for opening day along with the 2017 stats that they registered at the MLB level. We’ve also listed some players to watch at the AAA affiliate level. At the end of…
It is late March in Indiana, and save for the Pacers, basketball has largely gone dormant in this hoops crazed state. There is one other team still playing. And just like water always finds its level, Hoosiers are finding their basketball. As connoisseurs of the game, Hoosiers won’t just watch any basketball. No, Hoosiers require something more, and the Indiana University women’s basketball team is delivering it in front of big crowds. On Wednesday night, IU defeated Texas Christian 71-58 to advance to the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) championship game. The Hoosiers will face Virginia Tech for the WNIT…
On the anniversary of a memorable 1987 Final Four win over UNLV, the Indiana University men’s basketball family has lost one of its champions that played in that game.
