Hoosiers gut out win in Evanston

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

After an emotional week that ended with the resignation of Kelvin Sampson, Indiana pulled it together under interim coach Dan Dakich Saturday night in Evanston and beat Northwestern, 85-82.
Four Hoosiers (23-4, 12-2 Big Ten) were in double figures, led by Armon Bassett with 24 points.
Jordan Crawford scored 21 points, Eric Gordon had 18 and D.J. [...]

Hoosiers hand Buckeyes first home conference loss

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Indiana (20-3, 9-1 Big Ten) took sole possession of second-place in the conference with an impressive 59-53 win over Ohio State in Value City Arena on Sunday afternoon.
After several ESPN analysts hammered the Hoosiers on Saturday night for their absence of a win over an RPI top 50 team (Illinois State is actually No. 49), [...]

Sloppy Hoosiers grit out win in The Barn

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Talk about a frustrating, sloppy night for the Hoosiers. EJ picked up three fouls in the first half, (the first ticky-tac; the second a charge; the third was a bit suspect, but there was no reason for him to be playing defense so close 35 feet from the basket) and pass after pass after pass [...]

The Morning After: Illinois

Monday, January 14th, 2008

As R’s headline yesterday said — phew. I was hoping for a rout, though I won’t say I expected it; Illinois under Bruce Weber is, if good at anything, good at keeping games close with stifling defense. They did that yesterday and kept the Hoosiers — and Eric Gordon — in for much of the [...]
