FINAL SCORE: 78-46 ALTERNATE TITLE: The night Tom Crean’s frustration finally got the best of him. Tom Crean had enough. The turnovers. The poor defensive rotations. The other team carving up his squad like a Thanksgiving turkey. His Hoosiers lacking ...
Many of you have your gripes about IU’s defense, and it’s justifiable. Many of you have gripes about IU’s offense. That, too, is justifiable. For the purposes of this post, I’m going to dig into some specifics on both sides ...
FINAL SCORE: Minnesota 81, Indiana 58 Here’s an easy way to game plan against the Hoosiers: pound it inside all game long. As the Spartans showed us Tuesday and the Gophers displayed this evening — it works. IU just doesn’t ...
FINAL SCORE: 72-58 | Box score We feeling better out there, guys? Sure, IU got murdered this evening. But all the worries about this team in recent days, that they were lacking effort and hustle and heart and resolve wasn’t ...
Men and boys tonight, kids. I know the Hoosiers haven’t played the Badgers or Spartans yet this season, but there’s been no other team that’s outclassed them like the Buckeyes this year. OSU is just a well-oiled, highly-efficient machine. Tonight’s ...
Sorry for the tardiness here, ended up stopping for a bite to eat on the way back down from Evanston to Chicago. In an effort to make amends, here’s a photo of Tom Crean at the United Center last night ...
This team has a way of keeping things interesting. Twice in the second half, I thought the Hoosier were toast. Down five and looking out of sync with 8:42, all it took was Devan Dumes and Jordan Hulls threes with a ...
I should probably take a solid two hours, calm down, maybe do some Yoga or some breathing exercises or go get a massage … because I’m worried this will be an expletive-laden tirade about how angry and upset I am ...
Yesterday, via our dear friends at the Hoosier Scoop, we got a clearer picture of Matt Roth’s progress from his foot injury. We know the boot is off; he even was shooting around a bit before the Iowa game. Some ...
After some discussion on this after Thursday’s game, we’ve decided to change up the title of this guy. Onwards. Well that was unexpected. Coming off a terrific OT win against Minnesota at home a week ago, and the program’s first ...
THE GOOD: BENDING, NOT BREAKING. Heck of a win tonight in Happy Valley. Sure, Penn State was a meek 0-5 in the Big Ten heading into this game, but a young Hoosiers team like this isn’t supposed to get conference ...
THE GOOD: IT’S A WIN. There are plenty of things this young Hoosiers team has yet to master, yet to grasp, yet to learn. And so far this season — and especially as of late in losses to Illinois and ...
THE GOOD: CONSISTENCY, EXECUTION, AGGRESSION. The Good Hoosiers showed up tonight in Bloomington. After the Bad Hoosiers lacked any sense of urgency in Columbus earlier this week, IU was a completely different squad this evening. They played like they wanted ...
BAD AND UGLY: YEAH, WE’RE STARTING IN REVERSE TONIGHT. Do you know what we learned tonight? Because I’ll tell you what we learned tonight. This Hoosiers team is trending as such: good performances buttressed by bad ones. Really, really bad ...
Ohio State is 0-2 in the Big Ten, with losses to Wisconsin and Michigan. The same Michigan squad IU beat New Year’s Eve. On the surface, this should give the Hoosiers some confidence. But then you realize both these game ...
THE GOOD: RESOLVE. Oh baby, what a win. With Mo Creek out for the season, and Indiana fans a bit down, a bit defeated, IU proved this afternoon inside Assembly Hall that your leading scorer does not an entire team ...
