Thoughts on a 67-54 win over the Evansville Purple Aces: Can the Hoosiers put it together for a full 40 minutes? That’s the challenge heading forward. After a first half thick with turnovers (12), fouls (three each for Bobby Capobianco, ...
Notes on a 71-54 win over Mississippi Valley State: There was trepidation among the ITH faithful before this one. We worried Sean Woods, a Rick Pitino disciple, would have his Delta Devils — about as fantastic a team nickname as ...
Notes on a 67-44 Sunday night win over Wright State inside Assembly Hall: First 10. Wright State took away the 3-pointer from the Hoosiers. Couple that with its impressive ability to draw charges — and IU’s penchant for silly turnovers ...
Musing on a 88-60 IU win over Florida Gulf Coast: Them threes is back. As I wrote after IU’s first exhibition game, there’s enough 3-point shooters on this team to really do some damage. But as we saw against Ferris ...
Notes on a 78-65 overtime win against Ferris State: Vic does it again. On a night when IU shot the ball poorly and were without last year’s go-to crunchtime player in Verdell Jones — he again sat due to his ankle ...
A few scattered thoughts on IU’s 89-37 win over Franklin College in their first exhibition game of the 2010-11 season: No Guy for you. After all the positive chatter surrounding Guy after Night of the Living Red, I’m sure I ...

FINAL SCORE: 74-55 | Box score Kicking it old school tonight. THE GOOD 1) Derek Elston. Not sure if Elston got more run tonight because he limited his defensive mistakes tonight, or because well, he just deserves it. (Because I ...
FINAL SCORE: 73-57 | Box Score It’s easy to chalk this one up as uninspired effort by the Hoosiers. But this loss was somewhat different than what we’ve seen lately. Let’s break it down: SHOOTING It may not have felt ...
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 ...
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 ...
