The Morning After: Iowa Open Thread

Thanks to a broken DVR and a date with the Chicago Bulls at the United Center last night, I missed my first game of the year. And since that promised midseason report isn’t ready quite yet (though it might be ...

Hoosiers turn up the D for 13th straight win

Giving D.J. White his due

Forgive me, D.J. White. You see, somewhere in between the Eric Gordon phenomenon and the 16-1 start for the Hoosiers, I lost track of the most important ingredient to this season’s success: You. You didn’t listen to the agents who ...

The Morning After: Penn State

This probably shouldn’t be called The Morning After, since it’s coming in the afternoon; my apologies. A weekend visit from the brother and Dr. Martin Luther King Day pushed this back on the list of priorities, but here it is. ...

Indiana is No. 8 in the latest ESPN/USA Today coaches poll released earlier this afternoon. The Hoosiers are one of three Big Ten teams ranked in the top 11. So much for the Big Ten being “down” this season. Michigan ...

Note to self: Don’t ask Kelvin about sanctions

Dan Barreiro, Indiana grad and radio host (and a very good one, I might add) for KFAN in Minneapolis, had Kelvin Sampson on for an interview Wednesday afternoon. It was a standard interview: they talked Eric Gordon, D.J. White, Indiana’s ...

The Morning After: Minnesota

In the days leading up to the Minnesota game, it seemed fashionable to proclaim Minnesota IU’s first road loss. It was an understandable diagnosis; The Barn is an historically difficult place to play, Minnesota has been playing well, and the ...

Sloppy Hoosiers grit out win in The Barn

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 ...
