Release the hounds: New commenting system

Earlier this week, in our “Help us improve Inside the Hall” post, a good lot of you out there were clamoring for a message board or forum to get your Hoosier talk on. We’re still a bit hesitant to bust ...

Ripe for an upset? Not so fast

The word on the street is that the Hoosiers are ripe for an upset tonight in Minneapolis. Terry Hutchens of the Indy Star addressed it earlier this week and Paging Jim Shikenjanski, a Minnesota blog, has already predicted the Gophers ...

Thanks to a helpful hat-tip from the IDS’ Basketblog — who I presume were able to catch this video early in the day because they are college students not soullessly working the 9-5 — here’s a video of Eric Gordon’s ...

Q and A: ESPN’s Pat Forde

We spend plenty of time discussing IU basketball here, but there’s a whole world of hoops just beyond these borders. To help us get a national perspective — as well as discuss media and, OK, the Hoosiers too — we ...

ITH-ers. Let us be clear, Larry Craig-style: We love you. And we love that you come to the site every day, and read, and comment, and make fun of Purdue trollers. We started this site a few months ago mostly ...

The Morning After: Illinois

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 ...

Phew!: IU escapes at home against the Illini

Well, this one certainly didn’t go as planned. The Illini did what they do best — that is, they defended the hell out of IU — and nearly handed the Hoosiers their first loss at home under Kelvin Sampson. Fortunately, ...

We all know who he is

Turn back the clock to October 13, 2006. North Central guard Eric Gordon had just made the switch to Indiana after committing to Illinois and coach Bruce Weber on November 28, 2005. Indiana fans rejoiced. Chants of “Eric Gordon” filled ...

Film Session: Gordon’s ridiculous range

For most players, the distance on the shots I am about to show you would not be acceptable. Eric Gordon, however, doesn’t fit into that category. He’s shooting 44.6 percent from behind the arc this season and nearly 50 percent ...

The Morning After: Michigan

Perhaps I’m just used to last year’s struggles on the road, but I have to admit I didn’t expect anything approaching the blowout last night in Crisler Arena. But when you combine an absolutely dreadful — I mean, just totally ...

D.J. White goes off; Hoosiers roll in Ann Arbor

It seems every couple games we’re writing about D.J. White racking up a career high in rebounds. And tonight in Ann Arbor, Mich., White was getting down and dirty again. D.J. snatched 22 boards during IU’s 78-64 win against the ...
