… And we’ll be back Monday to begin breaking down the season that was in Bloomington as well as the NCAA Tournament.
The Indiana Hoosiers have not been an easy team to root for this season. In their 11-game losing streak and Big Ten winlessness, they’ve struggled to inspire much of anything in the way of interest, or intrigue, or emotion, really. ...
The 11-game losing streak is over. In a game that looked eerily similar to earlier contests the Hoosiers haven’t been able to close out down the stretch, Tom Crean’s club reversed the trend and fended off Iowa 68-60 in front ...
In what has been a theme throughout this season of rebuilding, the inexperience of Tom Crean’s club shined through down the stretch as Indiana fell 67-63 to Minnesota at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers (5-13, 0-6 Big Ten) cut the Minnesota ...
Ryan Cost, a senior producer over at the Palestra, sent along this feature he put together after IU’s loss at Ohio State on Tuesday:
Hey, so that was fun, right? Haha, just kidding! That wasn’t fun at all! That was precisely as much fun as a rusty ballpeen hammer to the eye socket, only less violent, so long as you don’t count “throwing an ...
Indiana head coach Tom Crean couldn’t have drawn it up any better. After a head scratching home loss to Lipscomb to close out 2008 and a road loss to Iowa in the Big Ten opener, the Hoosiers returned to Assembly ...
Ah, the Hoosiers. Just when I thought I was out … they pull me back in. It’s not as though I had given up on the season in any sort of meaningful way. Actually, I’d given up on the season, ...
THE GOOD Someone else showed up on offense besides Tom Pritchard. Devan Dumes mirrored his scoring prowess from the beginning of the season, and dumped in 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 from three-point land. Verdell Jones seems to ...
At this point in IU’s young, ugly rebuilding year, I feel confident in a few assertions: IU is not a very good basketball team. IU is not going to be a very good basketball team. IU is not even a ...
Disclaimer: This is going to be half baked, ill informed and incredibly short, namely because I watched more Bears tonight than I did Hoosiers. THE GOOD IS A BROKEN RECORD Tom Pritchard. You find him up in this top register ...
For five minutes Monday night, it appeared that Indiana would have no problem shaking off the rust from a nine day layoff. Fueled by five early points from Daniel Moore, the Hoosiers jumped to an early 12-3 lead. And then ...
Whoa, right? After a couple of bad losses to teams we didn’t even look competitive against, IU was given a coming-home gift Wednesday night. That gift, the TCU Horned Frogs, was about as inept a basketball team you’ll see all ...
THE GOOD LIFE Domination. Swagger. Dunks. Steals. I don’t know if we will ever see another 18 minutes of play like that again this year, but for almost an entire second half this evening, IU flat out worked over the ...
After leading by just four at halftime, Indiana played its best 20 minutes of the season Wednesday night en route to a 66-56 win over Texas Christian at Assembly Hall. A 9-0 run, capped by a Nick Williams layup with ...
For a half, it appeared that Indiana just might have a shot to do the unthinkable — knock off a top 5 team in the first game ever played at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Hoosiers came into Saturday a 23-point ...
