Indiana football’s 31-7 win over Wisconsin on Saturday was a pretty substantial recruiting opportunity. With it being the last home game, it was perhaps the Hoosiers’ final shot at getting prospects into a packed Memorial Stadium for gameday. Indiana made sure to take advantage of this in hosting Messiah Mickens, a 4-star running back out […]
No. 2 Indiana football is 11-0 in 2025 after going 11-1 in 2024. It’s an unprecedented run of success for one of college football’s historically worst programs and it was all sparked by one consequential hire: Curt Cignetti. Indiana’s athletics department, keenly aware of football’s ever-rising importance in the collegiate landscape, made the decision to […]
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, currently favored to win the 2025 Heisman Trophy, is also likely to be a first round pick in next Spring’s NFL Draft. He attracted plenty of attention at Cal, but rocketed up draft boards this past offseason and throughout the Hoosiers’ 11-0 start. Mendoza fits the typical NFL mold. He’s tall, […]
Indiana men’s basketball head coach Darian DeVries addressed the media following his team’s narrow 69-61 win over Incarnate Word on Sunday night at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers, who hadn’t scored less than 90 points before Sunday and shot the ball as well as anyone in the country, struggled mightily from deep. Indiana made just 20.8% […]
Indiana men’s basketball got off to a blistering start to the 2025-26 season, Darian DeVries’ debut as head coach. For the first time in nearly a decade, the 3-point shot was an integral part of the Hoosiers’ offense. Indiana was taking, and making, plenty of 3s en route to a 3-0 start that never saw […]
Indiana men’s basketball escaped an upset attempt from Incarnate Word in a 69-61 win on Sunday night at Assembly Hall. It wasn’t a pretty basketball game and was the first time we’ve seen the Hoosiers struggle under Darian DeVries. Much of that can be attributed to the fact that Indiana’s 3s just weren’t going down, […]
Indiana men’s basketball faced real adversity for the first time all season, struggling to put away an Incarnate Word team that the Hoosiers were supposed to handle by 20-plus points. The shots weren’t falling, the Hoosier’s (lack of) size looked to be hurting them, and then the Cardinals just refused to miss for a period […]
Indiana women’s basketball emerged with a solid 76-72 road win over Florida State on Sunday night in its biggest challenge of the season up to this point. There were some questions as to how the Hoosiers would handle playing on the road after a pretty mistake-laden outing at home against Marshall, but Indiana stuck together […]
For the first time in Darian Devries’ very brief tenure as Indiana head coach, his team was tested for forty minutes today. The Hoosiers passed the test, though, surviving an upset scare to beat Incarnate Word 69-61 to move to 4-0 on the season . Signs of the offensive struggle that was to come were […]
Lavar Keys, a 3-star wide receiver in the class of 2026 out of DeMatha Catholic High School in Landover, Maryland, announced his commitment to Indiana on Sunday: Keys was originally committed to Penn State but decommitted and reopened his recruitment after the Nittany Lions parted ways with longtime head coach James Franklin after a disappointing […]
Indiana men’s basketball is set to take on Incarnate Word at 5:30 p.m. at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana. The Hoosiers haven’t been without their injury issues early on this season, but Sunday’s availability report came without any surprises. Jason Drake, Aleksa Ristic and Josh Harris remain out, with walk-on Jordan Rayford being […]
Jack Kohnen, a 4-star small forward in the class of 2027 out of Slinger High School in Slinger, Wisconsin, took an unofficial visit to Indiana men’s basketball in Bloomington this past weekend, according to a post from his Instagram. Kohnen, who was recently offered by the Hoosiers, ranks in as the 19th highest-rated small forward […]
Josh Lindsay, a 4-star point guard in the class of 2028 out of St. Xavier High School in Louisville, Kentucky, is in Bloomington for an unofficial visit during Indiana men’s basketball’s game against Incarnate Word. Lindsay currently ranks in as the 8th highest-rated point guard and 33rd highest-rated prospect overall in the Rivals Industry ranking. […]
Few things in sports are as mythologized as halftime. There’s the Hollywood-esque speeches, big time adjustments made over whiteboards, screaming from coaches or players and all sorts of other things. Sure, some of that definitely happens, enough recorded halftime moments have dropped to tell you as much. But that’s not really Curt Cignetti’s style. When […]
No. 2 Indiana football head coach Curt Cignetti addressed the media on Saturday following his team’s 31-7 win over Wisconsin to move to 11-0 in 2025. With the Hoosiers entering a bye week after six straight Saturdays of football, Cignetti noted it’ll be time for the team to rest up and, ideally, get some players […]
Indiana football is 11-0 in 2025 following Saturday’s 31-7 win over Wisconsin on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana. The final score is certainly what we’ve come to expect from the Hoosiers, but the first half was a far cry from the final result. Wisconsin found some early success playing its game of keeping […]
Coming off an emotional, taxing win in Happy Valley, No. 2 Indiana didn’t look fully ready to play for the first two quarters against Wisconsin. The offensive line was struggling, the defense gave up another big play for a touchdown, and the Hoosiers led by just three at the half. Then Indiana came out of […]
No. 2 Indiana moved to 11-0 on the 2025 season following a 31-7 home win over Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana. This one was a bit of a mixed bag. The Hoosiers ran into several issues on both sides of the ball in the first half as Wisconsin looked to […]
Indiana football (11-0, 8-0), hoping to preserve an undefeated season and a shot at a College Football Playoff bye, hosted Wisconsin (3-7, 1-6) today, a team coming off its best win of the year. For the second straight week, Indiana’s offense got off to a slow start. The Hoosiers had just one possession in the […]
Lavar Keys, a 3-star wide receiver in the class of 2026 out of DeMatha Catholic High School in Landover, Maryland, is set to announce his college decision on Sunday, November 16. Keys was originally committed to Penn State but decommitted and reopened his recruitment after the Nittany Lions parted ways with longtime head coach James […]
Indiana is set to take on Florida State on Sunday in a road matchup in Tallahassee, Florida. The Hoosiers sit at 3-0, but got out to an interesting start to the season with two hotly-contested games against inferior competition at Assembly Hall. It’s almost an entirely new roster for head coach Teri Moren, so it’s […]
Indiana is set for a matchup against Incarnate Word on Sunday at Assembly Hall in Bloomington. The Hoosiers are one bucket against Alabama A&M away from putting up 100 points in their first three games of the season, including a bit of a coming out party at the United Center against Marquette. If Darian DeVries’ […]
You’ve probably seen the stat by now, but I’ll share it again here anyway. Of Indiana’s 103 made field goals on the season, 73 have come off of assists. Darian DeVries has completely flipped the style of play most have been accustomed to watching when the Hoosier have taken the floor for the past eight […]
Indiana (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten) is set to take on Florida State (3-1, 0-0 ACC) on Sunday at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center in Tallahassee, Florida. The Hoosiers are undefeated on the season up to this point but haven’t been without their struggles. They rather easily dispatched an overmatched Lipscomb team in game one […]
Indiana (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten) is set to take on Incarnate Word (2-1, 0-0 Southland) on Sunday afternoon at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana. The Hoosiers are coming off of a 101-70 win over Milwaukee, their second outing of 100+ points scored, this past Wednesday. Indiana is spreading the ball around so far on the […]
