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…

A lot has been made of Indiana’s 2018 recruiting class, and rightfully so. It checks a lot of boxes for Hoosier fans, including two Indiana natives and a top 20 ranking. Of course everyone knows by now that the ranking would likely be in the top 5 if the Hoosiers ultimately add New Albany’s Romeo Langford to the group. But irrespective of whether Langford joins the Hoosiers for the 2018-19 season, it is perhaps the 2019 class that could really solidify IU as a program that is back among the nation’s elite. As we saw during the Tom Crean era,…
In their first meeting back in early January, Indiana shot 58% from the field in a dominant win over Purdue in Bloomington. From the outset on Monday night, it was clear that the Boilers weren’t going to tolerate that kind of offensive efficiency from the Hoosiers. This time around in West Lafayette the Boilers held IU to 37.7% shooting and blocked eight Hoosier shots. The problem for Purdue on this night was that Indiana’s defense was even better. The Hoosiers aren’t necessarily known for their defense, ranking last in the Big Ten and 320th nationally in field goal percentage defense. …
In 49 states, it’s just a game. In the state of Indiana, we need our own power rankings.

Here are the state of Indiana NCAA Division 1 men’s college basketball power rankings for the week ended February 11, 2018: Current Indiana teams in Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology: Purdue (1), Butler (8). 1. Purdue Boilermakers (23-4, 12-2) (B1G) – A tough week for Purdue, no doubt, but they lost to two really good teams in two really close games. The bigger question…

You know that a kid is special when a 31 point night feels like a disappointment. That’s what happened last night when New Albany traveled to Madison and the Cubs threw double, triple, even quadruple teams at the state’s 4th all-time leading scorer. Rumors of “hack-a-Romeo” even swirled. The New Albany Bulldogs proved that they are not a one trick pony, easily handling Madison 68-37 on the night. Fellow Bulldog senior Sean East, an unheralded star in his own right, added 18 points on the night for New Albany. For Langford, who had scored 160 points in his 3 prior…
