Becker got the Hoosiers […]

Entering the College […]

Entering tonight’s game at Maryland, Darian DeVries’ Indiana had yet to win a true road game on the season, dropping winnable games to both Minnesota and Kentucky. Buzz Williams’ Terrapins, winless through three games in Big Ten play, made for the perfect trap game opponent. To avoid another road upset, DeVries was probably hoping for […]

No. 1-seed Indiana football moved to 1-0 in the College Football Playoff with a 38-3 win over No. 9-seed Alabama in the Rose Bowl on New Years Day in Pasadena, California. This has, of course, inspired some choice apparel. Perhaps a new take on the Hollywood sign, keeping the “H” but changing it to “Hoosiers,”? […]
As a perimeter-oriented group, Darian DeVries’ first team at Indiana has struggled with the things you would expect a team to struggle with. Notably, rebounding. There are ways to defend and score at the rim with good scheming, but rebounding is harder to teach. To overcome a size deficit like the one Indiana faced tonight […]

Burnham rates as a 3-star prospect in the transfer portal […]
Indiana was favored by KenPom and Bart Torvik entering the game, but this had all the makings of a rough, weird home struggle for the Hoosiers.

Indiana men’s basketball came off a nearly two-week break looking like the hottest-shooting team in the country, with Tayton Conerway and Conor Enright combining to go 5-5 from 3-point range in the first four minutes of play. The Huskies were going shot-for-shot with the Hoosiers for much of that streak, though, and led for brief […]
Indiana men’s basketball moved to 2-1 in the Big Ten with a 90-80 win over Washington on Sunday night at Assembly Hall in Bloomington. The Hoosiers had their share of issues, namely keeping the Huskies from scoring or drawing fouls on the perimeter, but ended up scoring enough points in the last four minutes to […]
Indiana women’s basketball fell 82-67 to No. 7 Maryland on the road on Sunday evening at the XFINITY Center in College Park, Maryland.
