Kris Murray posted a huge performance against the Hoosiers on Thursday night. The sophomore scored 29 points and snagged 11 boards, both career bests. It’s usually his twin brother, Keegan, teams have to scheme against. But with Keegan out with ...

Indiana’s win against the Golden Gophers on Sunday afternoon was aided by some strong 3-point shooting in the first half by Xavier Johnson (2-of-4) and Rob Phinisee (4-of-8). Johnson and Phinisee were pretty much dared to shoot from distance, as ...

After Notre Dame tied the game at 47-all with 6:50 to go, the Hoosiers took control on both sides of the ball, closing out the game with a 17-9 advantage to hold onto the victory. It was a contrast to ...

Merrimack hoisted up 29 3-point attempts against the Hoosiers on Sunday afternoon, making 11 of them (37.9 percent). The Warriors’ six makes in the first half helped them keep the game close entering the break (36-30). Those 29 attempts were ...
In its stunning loss to Wisconsin on Wednesday night, the Hoosiers failed to score over the final 3:07 of the contest. And so the Badgers closed the game on an 11-0 run, turning a six-point deficit after a Race Thompson ...
