Isiah Thomas sees a connection involving the IU basketball dynasty of the 1970s and 80s, and the Golden State Warriors NBA dynasty of the last decade. The former star point guard for the Hoosiers revealed it to one of the Warriors on his podcast. “The offense that you run, I played for the guy who invented it,” Thomas said on The Draymond Green Show. “His name was Bob Knight. I won championships at Indiana University as a student under Bob Knight.” Before Steve Kerr arrived at Golden State in 2014, the Warriors ran a lot of isolation and pick-and-roll actions. But…
When Byron Baldwin committed to IU just over a month ago, he didn’t appear in any of the national rankings.

From unranked, to a 4-star and one of the overall top-250 players in the class according to that outlet. The massive bump makes Baldwin the highest rated player in Indiana’s 2025 class. The still developing eight-player class is currently ranked 34th nationally at 247Sports. Here’s what 247Sports wrote about Baldwin when announcing his bump in the rankings.…

Jackson-Davis, who famously posted “Y’all will regret it, I promise” when he fell to the 57th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, easily outplayed his draft position as a rookie. The former IU star finished one vote shy of the NBA’s All-Rookie teams announced on Monday afternoon. He received 42 second-place votes, and was in effect named the 11th best rookie for the 2023-24 season. Jackson-Davis gave Golden State more athleticism and size underneath this season,…
