The turning point in Indiana’s 91-81 loss to Duke was pretty clear. For a raucous Indiana crowd spewing venom at Duke’s #3 all game long, this particular turning point was perhaps harder to swallow than if anyone else had delivered the decisive blows. At the 4:11 mark, after De’Ron Davis free throws, Indiana trailed only 79-78. The Hoosiers were hanging right with the top-ranked Blue Devils and it felt like something special might be brewing in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Visions of the 2011 “Wat Shot” surely crept into the minds of many of the Hoosier faithful. For much of…
While Duke had a clear advantage in overall talent, length and athleticism, Indiana managed to hang right with the number 1 ranked Blue Devils for most of the game. There was no question that the Hoosiers’ effort was there. The bottom line here was that that Duke’s length and composure in a tough road environment was enough to pull out the win, 91-81. In our preview we gave you six things that the Hoosiers had to do pull of the upset. The results were mixed: The home crowd? This was never in doubt. De’Ron Davis staying out foul trouble? Nope. …
After the Howard game we highlighted how the national recruiting services appeared to have significantly underrated Indiana freshman guard Al Durham, Jr. Since then that impression has only been further cemented as Durham continues to play at a high level despite his 3 star rating as a recruit. Take a look at his statistics through 6 games: Points – 9.0 FG% – 49% 3PT% – 35% Rebounds – 2.5 Assists – 3.0 Turnovers – .33 [only 2 all season] It is perhaps the turnovers that have most wowed the Indiana fans who have been hungry for a cleaner and more…
With number 1 ranked Duke coming to Bloomington on Wednesday, Hoosier fans are hoping for a major upset. It isn’t unprecedented for Indiana to knock off the top ranked team at Assembly Hall. In fact, the Hoosiers have done it three times in the 46 year history of IU’s current home court. As you’d expect with wins of this magnitude, each of these games are likely etched in the memories of Hoosier fans everywhere. Let’s take a look back at those moments, with accompanying videos that are sure to elicit a goose bump or two: February 2, 2013 – (3)…
Every year during the pre-conference slate there is at least one home game on Indiana’s schedule that you just know will have a different feel to it. When the 2017-18 schedule was released that game was fairly easy to pinpoint, even before the preseason rankings anointed Duke as the #1 team in the country. Add in the fact that Duke is perhaps the nation’s most prestigious program with the winningest coach of all-time, and well, the Hall should be a rockin’. Oh, and then there is that Grayson Allen dude. We’re sure that he’ll be a popular guy with the…
Too soon? No matter how you are feeling about the state of the Indiana football program right now, one thing is for sure — there will be another season in 2018. The bad news? Unless the Big Ten realigns its divisions, the 2018 schedule will once again face the seemingly insurmountable wall that is Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State. Also, with the exception of Ball State there are no gimme games. Given IU’s recent history against the Cardinals we’re not sure that is a fair characterization of that game either. The good news? No Wisconsin. Also, many…
