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.

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…

In front of a love torn sparsely populated Valentine’s Day crowd, Illinois came out with a street fight mentality — and it worked for the first ten minutes. The Illini ran out to a 12-8 lead as it forced turnovers and beat IU to offensive rebounds. Indiana woke up and went on 18-2 run to go up 26-14. The Illini tried to turn up the pressure even more to start the second half, and it was effective at keeping them in the game, but the Hoosiers hang on in an ugly one. It’s back out on the road on Saturday…
