Victor Oladipo stands as one of the most efficient scorers in the country this season, as his 72.0 effective field goal percentage is currently second in all of Division I. Oladipo’s improved perimeter shooting — and in particular, his 3-point stroke — ...
2015 point guard and IU recruiting target Bryant Crawford tallied four points, seven assists and one rebound (unofficially) in a 65-59 Gonzaga (Washington, D.C.) win over Salesian (Calif.) on Saturday evening in the Cancer Research Classic in Wheeling, West Virginia. Watch ...
Thoughts on a 74-51 win against the Nittany Lions: I. Slow starts have befallen the Hoosiers on occasion this season, but save for an early 3-2 deficit, they established themselves as the dominant team from the onset in this one. ...
Will Sheehey’s jumper at the 10:04 mark in the second half put the Hoosiers up eight (56-48) in their New Year’s Eve win against the Hawkeyes. It was the largest lead they’d see the rest of the game, as Iowa ...
Thoughts on a 69-65 win against the Hawkeyes: I. Had Iowa made more shots (just 33.3 percent from the field and a horrific 17.6 percent (3-of-17) from beyond the arc), had a few possessions turned one way instead of the other, ...
Jacksonville was hot from beyond the arc in the first half (5-of-9) in their loss to Indiana on Friday night, and it’s a theme that continued until the final buzzer (10-of-17, 58.8 percent). The Dolphins did hit a few of ...
Thoughts on a 93-59 win against the Dolphins: I. Though Indiana eventually won this game by 34 points (Jacksonville actually covered the 36-point spread thanks to a late 3-pointer), it was a slow burn to get up to that mark. The ...
Hanner Mosquera-Perea’s night against Florida Atlantic was somewhat brief (14 minutes), but productive (four points, 10 rebounds and two blocks). Yet, he’s still showing signs of rawness. The freshman also had three turnovers and looked out of sorts at times. ...
Indiana freshman Yogi Ferrell tallied a career-high nine assists against Mount St. Mary’s in Wednesday evening’s 93-54 win. The Hoosiers shot 70.6 percent for the game and Ferrell’s assists aided in the strong shooting, as several led to looks at ...
Thoughts on an 88-52 win against the Owls: I. This was the performance from Cody Zeller some were waiting for. Getting the ball early. Attacking. Making moves in the post and looking to finish strong. Even hitting a 16-footer. Couple this ...
Thoughts on a 93-54 win over the Mountaineers: I. The naton’s most efficient offense was on full display tonight inside Assembly Hall. Mount St. Mary’s — as previously detailed round these parts — offers little resistance in the halfcourt once you get ...
Butler exposed Indiana’s defense at times in its 88-86 overtime win against the Hoosiers. This was especially apparent after halftime, as the Bulldogs pumped in 1.28 points per possession during the second half and overtime at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on ...
Thoughts on a 88-86 overtime loss to Butler: I. Welp, it happened: Brad Stevens’ crew of lesser talented homegrown Indiana kids took the Hoosiers out of their game for long stretches in this one, and by the time the dust ...
Will Sheehey hits a corner 3 against North Carolina, and the top offense in the nation punches the lead out to 31. On the other end of the court, Indiana’s sixth man, the underrecruited, unheralded Florida native, once ranked just ...
In his last four outings before Saturday night’s 21-point, 8-of-12 outburst against Central Connecticut State, senior Christian Watford was just 11 of his last 36, including a 1-of-9 performance against North Carolina and a 3-of-10 outing against Georgetown in Brooklyn. ...
Thoughts on a 100-69 win over the Blue Devils: I. Christian Watford has had his struggles finding shots in the flow of Indiana’s transition-heavy offense of late. At times, it’s as if he’s been on his own island hunting for ...
