With basketball season rapidly approaching, we’re going team-by-team in the Big Ten to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out this year. Oregon’s 2023-24 season ended with a heartbreaking double-overtime loss to Creighton in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. That defeat left Dana Altman’s team agonizingly short of a third Sweet 16 appearance in the last five tournaments. Now, the Ducks enter the Big Ten with high hopes of making an immediate splash. WHO’S GONE: N’Faly Dante (17.0 PPG) (exhausted his eligibility) Jermaine Cousinard (16.6 PPG) (exhausted his eligibility) Jesse Zarzuela (10.0 PPG) (exhausted his…

When analyzing an exhibition game, it’s always important to remember the usual disclaimers. It’s a game that, ultimately, doesn’t count for anything. Indiana men’s basketball’s exhibition games typically see the Hoosiers face a Division II or Division III program, and IU usually enjoys a lopsided victory. You can only take so much away from a contest like that in a real, meaningful way. Sunday’s game at Tennessee is a bit of an exception, putting IU against a quality opponent. Both sides showed plenty of rust, and it still felt like a preseason game in many ways. The Hoosiers won in…

Indiana men’s basketball has scheduled a marquee non-conference game for the 2027-28 season. IU will take on Kansas in Las Vegas on Friday, Nov. 12, 2027 as part of the 2027 Hall of Fame Series, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced on Sunday. Arizona faces Duke in the other half of the doubleheader at Allegiant Stadium, where the Las Vegas Raiders play home games. That same stadium will also host the Men’s Final Four that season. “We are excited to play in such a prestigious event,” IU head coach Mike Woodson said in IU’s press release announcing the game.…

Indiana football remains ranked No. 13 in both the AP Poll and the APCA Coaches Poll for the second week in a row. The Hoosiers are coming off a 31-17 win over unranked Washington to reach 8-0, matching the best start in program history. But there wasn’t enough movement with teams ahead of them to send them higher in the rankings. LSU fell from No. 8 to No. 16 in the AP Poll after losing to Texas A&M, and the Aggies rose from No. 14 to No. 10 after that win. IU did add rankings points, however, going from 830…

Indiana football’s next game at Michigan State in East Lansing will air at 3:30 p.m. ET on Peacock on Saturday, Nov. 2. IU, ranked No. 13 going into Saturday’s win over Washington, matched its best start in program history with the 31-17 victory. The Hoosiers are 8-0 for the first time since 1967, and they’re tied with Oregon at 5-0 atop the Big Ten standings. Michigan State sits 4-4 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten. The Spartans opened the season with three straight wins over Florida Atlantic, Maryland, and Prairie View A&M, followed by three straight losses to Boston…

BLOOMINGTON — After yet another Indiana football win to match the best start in program history, head coach Curt Cignetti delivered his players a strong message about their performance. No. 13 IU defeated Washington, 31-17, at Memorial Stadium on Saturday to reach 8-0, and this victory wasn’t easy. The Hoosiers didn’t play their absolute best football, and they couldn’t go into cruise control the way they had in several other wins this season. But they just found ways to get the job done, regardless of the circumstances. “It was a great team effort,” Cignetti said after the win. “I told…

BLOOMINGTON — It was a simple question, followed by a simple answer. “Why would you wait outside almost a full day for ESPN’s College GameDay?” “Why would I not?” “There’s quite literally nowhere else I’d rather be than be here right now.” For the biggest games of every IU men’s basketball season at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, students will line up very early to get a good spot near the front of the student section. That’s a much rarer sight for Indiana football, but with its 7-0 start, everything about this program continues to change. IU junior Sam Foley drove…

With basketball season rapidly approaching, we’re going team-by-team in the Big Ten to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out this year. Maryland enters this season looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2023-24 campaign. The Terrapins struggled throughout last season and finished with a losing overall record for only the second time in the last 31 years. Kevin Willard could be facing some pressure to turn things around in College Park this season. WHO’S GONE: Jahmir Young (20.4 PPG) Donta Scott (11.2 PPG) Jamie Kaiser Jr. (4.4 PPG) Noah Batchelor (1.7 PPG) Caelum Swanton-Rodger (1.5 PPG)…

Indiana women’s basketball has landed a commitment from class of 2026 guard Ashlinn James. She announced her decision on Instagram on Monday. The 5-foot-9 Louisville native is the first class of 2026 player to commit to Teri Moren’s program. The Hoosiers offered James a scholarship after she attended Hoosier Hysteria in 2023, and she took an unofficial visit to Bloomington in late August. Her offers included Miami (Fla.), Marquette, Saint Louis, Western Kentucky, North Carolina A&T, Murray State, and Bellarmine. Prep Girls Hoops has ranked James the No. 1 class of 2026 player in the state of Kentucky. James recently…
