Thoughts on a 68-55 win against Nebraska: Indiana wins. Indiana covers. Indiana moves to 1-0 in Big Ten play. But this was far from a top performance from the Hoosiers, and it’s unlikely to pass muster against better Big Ten ...
In Indiana’s double-overtime loss to Syracuse, Miller Kopp scored a career-high 28 points. The Northwestern transfer shot 9-of-16 from the field, 4-of-9 from 3-point range and also hit 6-of-7 from the line. Kopp didn’t just catch and shoot in this ...
Thoughts on a 112-110 double-overtime loss to Syracuse: After a wild, insane, ridiculous, never-say-die-from-either-side game, the honeymoon is over. The Hoosiers won two in the Bahamas, a secret scrimmage in Louisville and six straight to start the season inside Assembly ...
On the strength of a 17-0 run, Marshall amassed a 12-point lead on the Hoosiers in the first half on Saturday evening. The Thundering Herd hit a couple of tough mid-range shots and a 3-pointer during that stretch. But Indiana’s ...
Thoughts on a 90-79 win against Marshall: Adversity came to Assembly Hall tonight in the form of the Marshall Thundering Herd. Indiana’s defense, so stout and so dominant in the first 20 minutes of action so far this season, was ...
After a Miller Kopp jumper put the Hoosiers up 26-9 at the 7:23 mark of the first half, Jackson State switched to a 3-2 matchup zone and Indiana’s offense went cold. Over the next 4:26, the Hoosiers failed to score ...
Thoughts on a 70-35 win against the Tigers: It’s that time of the year. With a holiday approaching, fewer students in the stands and another inferior opponent to play, the energy inside Assembly Hall this evening was low. And at ...
In its win Sunday night against the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns, Indiana hit a season-best 10-of-19 (52.6 percent) from 3-point range. Most of that long-range damage was done in the second half as the Hoosiers hit 8-of-14 over the final 20 ...
Thoughts on a 76-44 win against the Ragin’ Cajuns: Another game, another win, another dominant defensive first half from the Indiana Hoosiers. Lousiana isn’t a great 2-point shooting team so far, as it made just 31 percent of its 2s ...
In the first half against St. John’s, Indiana defended well and didn’t struggle much against the press. But the second half told a different story. While the Red Storm simply hit some tough shots, Indiana also gave up drives off ...
Thoughts on a 76-74 win against St. John’s: Trayce Jackson-Davis and Joel Soriano jawed early as Assembly Hall rocked and roared. From the jump this was a spirited, up-tempo affair between two teams believing it could impose its will on ...
Across its first two contests of the 2021-2022 campaign, Indiana has scored a number of times on designed lob plays. Often, the Hoosiers are spreading their offense wide, allowing plenty of space at the basket and sending a player there ...
Thoughts on an 85-49 win against the Huskies: While the Hoosiers emerged victorious on Tuesday night against Eastern Michigan, the ghost of the Archie Miller era haunted the second half. Indiana failed to put the Eagles away, as a 21-point ...
While Rob Phinisee’s stat line against Eastern Michigan doesn’t jump off the page (seven points on 3-of-11 shooting, two assists, two turnovers), the eye test revealed an aggressive and communicative offensive performance from Indiana’s senior point guard. Upon entering the ...
Thoughts on a 68-62 win against Eastern Michigan: Three offseason talking points we know to be true. (Well, as true as anything can be after just one game, that is.) 1) Mike Woodson’s steady drumbeat of the “defense being ahead ...
