Can IU basketball’s odd couple solve a long-running lack of Big Ten size riddle?
It has been rare for recent vintage Indiana basketball to have multiple players 6-foot-11 or taller in the starting lineup, or even in the main rotation.

IU football has a chance to keep the first time ever, first time since train rolling in 2026.

When money is on the line, people tend to eliminate the noise and get down business.

It would be disingenuous to have IU football coach Curt Cignetti anywhere but the top of any attempt to rank the nation’s best college football coaches right now. Similarly, it wouldn’t make much sense to exclude Cignetti from any preseason watch lists for awards that go to the nation’s best coach. And that’s the way [...]

IU basketball coach Darian DeVries has encouraging update on who’s making threes this summer
Did IU basketball emphasize getting bigger at the expense of the three-point shooting? Second-year Indiana coach Darian DeVries doesn’t think so.
