Indiana women’s basketball clinched at least a share of its first Big Ten championship since 1983 on Sunday by beating Purdue at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. And now, the Hoosiers have secured the outright title without even taking the court. No. 7 Maryland demolished No. 6 Iowa, 96-68, on Tuesday in College Park. That gives No. 2 IU a two-game lead in the standings over both the Terps and Hawkeyes with just one game remaining. Indiana wraps up the regular season on Sunday against the Hawkeyes at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. ESPN’s College GameDay is going to Iowa City ahead of the…

The Indiana football press conference introducing new safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator Matt Guerrieri seemed a straightforward affair. But an extra bit of news out of this hire created immediate additional intrigue. Head coach Tom Allen announced that his new hire would take over defensive play-calling duties. Allen called plays for IU’s defense last season, returning to that role after delegating the responsibility to Kane Wommack in 2019-20 and to Charlton Warren in 2021. But it wasn’t always smooth for Allen in play-calling this year, and he wanted to get back to a structure more similar to what IU had…

BLOOMINGTON — On the most significant day in her tenure as Indiana’s head women’s basketball coach — and one of the most significant in the program’s history — Teri Moren experienced a range of emotions. There was some frustration, as her Hoosiers didn’t play their best basketball in the first half against Purdue and felt the officials missed some calls. There was some sadness, in honoring seniors Alyssa Geary and — particularly — Grace Berger, knowing the latter’s stellar IU career is winding down. But that was soon washed away by overwhelming joy and pride. Indiana ran away with an…

BLOOMINGTON — For the first time since 1983, Indiana women’s basketball is on top of the Big Ten. The second-ranked Hoosiers defeated arch-rival Purdue, 83-60 on Sunday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, giving them a 1 ½-game lead over Iowa with one game left in the regular season. The Hawkeyes would also claim a share of the title with wins over Maryland and IU. Indiana led 37-34 at halftime, but the Hoosiers did not play their best basketball. Purdue employed a box-and-one defense to combat Mackenzie Holmes, and it caused some problems for IU. And while the Hoosiers forced eight…

On the same day Indiana women’s basketball has a chance to make history, the Hoosiers will honor history. IU could clinch a share of its first Big Ten title in 40 years on Sunday with a win over Purdue (Noon ET, BTN). The game is sold out, for the first time in program history. It’s the last home game of the regular season, so IU will hold senior night ceremonies after the game. Indiana will honor two seniors, Grace Berger and Alyssa Geary. Both are fifth-years, with Geary in her first year with the Hoosiers after transferring from Providence. Berger…

Indiana women’s basketball is in the middle of a historic season. The Hoosiers just set a program record with their 25th win of the season. They are surging towards a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. And they could clinch at least a share of their first Big Ten title in 40 years with a win over Purdue on Sunday. But as senior day approaches and IU prepares to recognize Grace Berger and Alyssa Geary, it’s easy to think ahead about the future. And that future is quite bright. Following IU’s win over Michigan, The Daily Hoosier confirmed through…

BLOOMINGTON — In a span of just 25 seconds, Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall felt the full Jalen Hood-Schifino experience. With 1:41 left to play, and Indiana and Illinois tied at 65, Hood-Schifino took the ball up the floor following a lengthy video review. He set IU’s offense into motion, before attempting a pass to his left to Race Thompson at the top of the key. But he telegraphed the pass, and it wasn’t hard enough. Fighting Illini junior Coleman Hawkins stole the ball, took it the other way, and dunked it. But back came the freshman, looking unshaken. He went…

BLOOMINGTON — Indiana is on the doorstep. After beating Michigan, 68-52, on Thursday, the Hoosiers are within reach of history. They can clinch at least a share of their first Big Ten title in 40 years on Sunday with a win over arch-rival Purdue. Indiana has built itself into a juggernaut in recent years and achieved milestone victories on several occasions. This win over Michigan marked a program record for victories in a single season, vaulting IU to 25-1. But the chance to win a conference championship at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall — with the Barn Burner Trophy on the…

BLOOMINGTON — For the second straight game, Indiana women’s basketball made easy work of a top-15 opponent. The second-ranked Hoosiers dismantled No. 12 Michigan, 68-52, on Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. It’s IU’s 13th consecutive victory, now its longest winning streak of the season. Indiana (25-1, 15-1 Big Ten) now has nine wins over ranked teams, and seven over top-15 teams. The Hoosiers were in firm control for most of the first half, though not as dominant as they were on Monday at Ohio State. IU led 22-17 at the end of the first quarter, and stretched it to…
