The Minute After Archive

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Thoughts on a 64-58 loss to the Spartans: The Hoosiers fought hard in this game. They battled in a foul-heavy, ugly, offensively-challenged contest. But in the end, in a game they absolutely had to have to cling to any NCAA ...

Thoughts on a 73-57 loss to the Wolverines: In its previous two losses to Michigan State and Rutgers, Indiana collapsed over the final 30 minutes of action, blowing huge leads in the process. That didn’t happen today. But even though ...

Thoughts on a 74-63 loss to Rutgers: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we’ve reached the low point of the season. This was a disastrous performance from the Hoosiers tonight, a re-run of how things went against Michigan State, yet ...

Thoughts on a 78-71 loss to Michigan State: This one had all the makings of an early blowout. The Spartans turned the ball over like mad. On the other end, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Race Thompson got the ball with ease ...

Thoughts on an 82-72 win against the Golden Gophers: The Hoosiers absolutely needed this game tonight. Their play matched the desperation of the moment. The energy was up. The start was better. It wasn’t all perfect, but it was enough ...
