Thoughts on a 106-64 win against Marian: From the jump, the Hoosiers dominated this one. Indiana’s size, athleticism, talent and depth were just way too much for the Knights. The Hoosiers posted a stout 1.38 points per possession against Marian’s ...
Thoughts on a 66-62 win against the Volunteers: This certainly didn’t have the feel of a charity exhibition. Indiana and Tennessee both played with intensity. Each squad got after it on defense. Things got chippy at times. But that didn’t ...
Thoughts on a 93-66 loss to the Cornhuskers: That escalated quickly. In the final 2:58 of the first half, Nebraska ripped this off: Three Keisei Tominaga 3-pointers, a Jamarques Lawrence 3-pointer, a Juwan Gary 3-pointer and two free throws from ...
Thoughts on a 61-59 win against the Nittany Lions: Out of halftime, the momentum shifted. The Nittany Lions, who made just seven first-half field goals and went 1-of-14 on layups, started to find something on offense. Ace Baldwin Jr. kicked ...
Thoughts on a 65-64 win against the Spartans: Indiana started with a bang. The Hoosiers scored inside, outside and in transition. On defense, they rode Michigan State deep into possessions, forcing tough shots and misses. At the 13:14 mark, the ...
Thoughts on an 83-78 win against the Terrapins: To start, Indiana very much played the role of the road team. Be it the crowd or Maryland’s full-court pressure, Indiana struggled with ball security. The Hoosiers turned it over 26.4 percent ...
Thoughts on a 74-70 win against Wisconsin: Indiana hadn’t been up by double-digits in a game in 24 days. But there the Hoosiers were, up 15 (32-17) against the Badgers in the first half at the 6:09 mark after a ...
Thoughts on an 83-74 loss to the Nittany Lions: Indiana played well enough to win this game. The Hoosiers came out with intensity on defense. And with Trey Galloway (foot injury), Mackenzie Mgbako (Mike Woodson auto-bench with two fouls), Kel’el ...
Thoughts on an 85-70 loss to Nebraska: The Cornhuskers came to Bloomington losers of all seven of their Big Ten road games. Those losses came by an average of 12.4 points. But tonight? They were victorious, easily leaving Bloomington with ...
Thoughts on a 76-72 loss to the Wildcats: Mike Woodson still hasn’t gotten over the hump against Northwestern. He’s now 0-4 against the Wildcats in his tenure. Northwestern remains the only Big Ten program he’s yet to defeat. The Wildcats ...
Thoughts on a 79-59 loss to the Boilermakers: From the start, it looked like Indiana might make a game of this one. The offense came out crisp. The defense was good enough. Purdue wasn’t dominating. Indiana led for much of ...
Thoughts on a 76-73 win against the Buckeyes: Things weren’t going well early in the second half. After arguing what he believed was a missed goaltending call, Malik Reneau said something to a referee. That garnered him a technical foul. ...
Thoughts on an 85-71 loss to the Nittany Lions: Early on, this much was clear: Penn State looked very much like some of the lower-level, non-conference opponents the Hoosiers had trouble putting away earlier this season. Speedy guards. Lots of ...
Thoughts on a 74-68 win against Iowa: For a second straight game, Indiana played with more grit and determination, showing an elevated togetherness on defense. But this time around? The shots fell and the Hoosiers made the plays down the ...
Thoughts on a 70-62 loss to the Illini: Indiana gave a great effort this afternoon in Champaign. The Hoosiers fought. But in the end, it’s another loss and another missed opportunity to get their first signature win of the season. ...
Thoughts on a 91-79 loss to the Badgers: Twenty straight losses at the Kohl Center. Tonight’s version featured an Indiana team that looked out of sorts midway through the second half. So out of sorts that long-time play-by-play announcer for ...
