Thoughts on an 87-78 loss to Louisville: The big question after Indiana’s strong start to the season: Could the Hoosiers keep it up as the Big Ten season and marquee non-conference matchups arrived? So far, the answer to that question ...
After Indiana scored on its first six possessions against Minnesota, the Golden Gophers then ripped off an 8-0 run to take a 15-12 lead. It was a stretch that was illustrative of Indiana’s problems on both sides of the ball ...
Thoughts on a 73-64 loss to the Golden Gophers: A sparse Barn crowd. A Minnesota team dealing with injuries, losers of three straight. Didn’t matter. Welcome to the Big Ten, new-look Hoosiers. Niko Medved and the Golden Gophers had the ...
In Indiana’s win against Bethune-Cookman on Saturday afternoon, the Hoosiers made seven first-half 3s. Five of those makes came from the left corner in different ways, showing off the unpredictability and variety of Indiana’s offense. Today’s Film Session breaks it ...
Thoughts on a 100-56 win against Bethune-Cookman: This game was set up to be sluggish. Indiana, in recent home wins against Incarnate Word and Lindenwood, has played down to its competition. The Hoosiers were also wrestling with a noon tip ...
Conor Enright did a little bit of everything in Indiana’s win against Kansas State. Shotmaking, playmaking, defending, rebounding, diving on the floor for loose balls and generally being a pest whenever he was on the floor. Today’s lengthy Film Session ...
Thoughts on an 86-69 win against Kansas State: After two games of ho-hum play, Indiana got back to business tonight. The Hoosiers came out with a bang, igniting the crowd – one with far fewer students due to Thanksgiving break ...
In Indiana’s win against Lindenwood on Thursday night, Trent Sisley ran the floor well. On several occasions, even when he was heavily involved near the rim on defense, Sisley was the first Hoosier up the floor, looking to get ahead ...
Thoughts on a 73-53 win against Lindenwood: It’s a 20-point victory, but this wasn’t the strong bounce-back Indiana was looking for after its ho-hum victory against Incarnate Word. The Hoosiers had another flat offensive first half, where everything felt half-speed, ...
After defending Incarnate Word well for the majority of the contest, Indiana allowed the Cardinals to go 13-for-20 to close out the contest and make things closer than expected. Five of those 13 makes came from deep. Today’s Film Session ...
Thoughts on a 69-61 win against the Cardinals: Welp, this one was certainly different. After making things look free and easy in its first three wins, Indiana’s offense grinded to a halt in this one. The 3-pointers wouldn’t fall — ...
In Indiana’s win against Milwaukee on Wednesday night, Tayton Conerway scored a season-high 21 points, with 18 of those coming at or near the basket. More than any other game this season, the Troy transfer showed his unique craftiness and ...
Thoughts on a 101-70 win against Milwaukee: Three games in, and it’s time once again for another round of “the last time Indiana did that …” Tonight’s version? We’re going back to the 2016-2017 season, when Tom Crean last coached ...
In Indiana’s win against Marquette on Sunday afternoon, freshman Trent Sisley went for 15 points, with 11 of those coming in the second half. Sisley showed a good knack for moving without the ball, scoring at the rim and making ...
Thoughts on a 100-77 win against the Golden Eagles: First test passed. Indiana entered this contest as a slight favorite in both the betting markets and computer projections. By game’s end, the Hoosiers had blown the doors off the two-to-three ...
