Deadspin’s Chandler explains: He just really, really loves Bob Knight

Yesterday, I wrote a rebuttal to Rick Chandler’s post on Deadspin about how he thinks IU will never be able to recruit again, how Tom Crean wasn’t the answer and a few other things that didn’t sit too favorably with ...

Dominique Keller: Not a fan of IU

In the 14 months I’ve lived in my apartment, I’ve gotten in about three fights with my roommate. These fights have not stemmed from taking out the trash, or rent, or leaving too many dishes in the sink: They’ve all ...

Feb. 16, 2009: The day the Internet decided to bash Indiana for all the wrong reasons

Let me tell you about my morning. I got up late. I put on clothes I wore out to a bar Friday night. I took a cab to work. I wrote some blogs posts for the day job. Typical Monday. ...

Good, Bad and Ugly: Illinois

FINAL SCORE: Illinois 65, Indiana 52 THE GOOD: The second half. During their first matchup, Illinois was one of the teams this year that IU was never in the game against. At halftime, it sure looked like that was going ...

Pat Forde brings IU’s attendance into perspective

I’ve already said my piece on attendance at Assembly Hall this year, but since then and the addition of the $5 tickets in the balcony, attendance hasn’t been too shabby. If you make it cheaper, they will come. Sunday against ...

Good, Bad and Ugly: Minnesota

FINAL SCORE: Minnesota: 62 IU: 54 THE BAD AND UGLY: The first half. Whoa boy: it was tough to watch, even by this year’s standards. Turnover after turnover after turnover. And then a few more turnovers. When the fist half ...

Tonight is the night IU gets its first conference win

Back in my days at the Indiana Daily Student — hey look, new design! — I used to do a bit in the paper the day of each basketball game called “Beyond the Arc,” which was basically just a 200-word ...

Reliving that Matt Roth 3-point barrage one last time

I’ll be honest: I probably didn’t appreciate Matt Roth’s 9-of-11 3-point performance against Ohio State — shameless plug: Club Trillion! —  quite enough. He did, after all, tie an IU record. As a freshman. That’s pretty darn impressive any way ...

Pat Knight is not gonna take it anymore

Hey, it’s Knight family day at Inside the Hall on this Super Bowl Sunday. You’ve heard about Bob Knight apparently having interest in the Georgia opening — I agree with Alex, for as great as a coach as The General ...

FINAL SCORE: Northwestern: 77 Indiana: 75 THE GOOD: For the first time in a long time — maybe all season? — the Hoosiers looked like they belonged. Despite the high number of turnovers, IU played so crisp and smooth at ...

Reporting live from Tom Crean’s speech at Joe’s on Weed Street

It’s 9:30 at night, around 45 minutes after he’s left the stage, and Tom Crean is drawing a basketball court on a napkin with a sharpie. A fan has just asked the first-year IU coach to teach him how to ...

Good, Bad and Ugly: Penn State

FINAL SCORE: Penn State: 65  Indiana: 55 THE GOOD: After a couple of woeful games, IU returned home Saturday night and played Penn State well enough to keep it interesting and fight for a win. There was no doom and ...

And now, we shall discuss the low attendance inside Assembly Hall

It’s no secret that attendance INSIDE THE HALL this season has not been very good, at least in terms of what we’ve come to expect. We’ve come to expect sellouts or near sellouts, so when that doesn’t happen, it becomes ...
