Thoughts on an 83-74 loss to the Hawkeyes: This game was there for the taking, offering a road win Indiana really could have used. One, to start building some confidence away from Assembly Hall. Two, to continue to build an ...
Thoughts on a 73-60 win against Minnesota: Another Big Ten game, another puzzle for the Hoosiers to solve. Instead of quick-hit shots from Trayce Jackson-Davis and transition scores like we saw Thursday night against Ohio State, Indiana had to go ...
Thoughts on a 67-51 win against the Buckeyes: Just when Indiana’s offense was looking rote and predictable, a scene all too familiar, Ohio State came to Bloomington and everything changed. Yes, Indiana still went to Trayce Jackson-Davis time and again. ...
Thoughts on a 61-58 loss to the Nittany Lions: As the inaugural Mike Woodson season enters Big Ten play for good, a team that once looked confident and multi-dimensional on offense is losing its swagger. The remnants of the Archie ...
Thoughts on a 79-61 win over Northern Kentucky: It was, as it has often been this season, a tale of two halves for Indiana tonight in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Indiana started strong against Northern Kentucky, which played a matchup ...
Thoughts on a 64-56 win against Notre Dame: While it’s a win, this one will not go down as one of Indiana’s better performances of the season. Were it not for a stout defensive effort against a strong Notre Dame ...
Thoughts on an 81-49 win over Merrimack: Coming off of Wednesday’s disappointing second-half collapse in Madison, Indiana wasn’t sharp defensively in the first 20 minutes against Merrimack. The Hoosiers were a step slow getting out to shooters and Merrimack made ...
Thoughts on a 64-59 loss to the Badgers: There are games you lose. Games you don’t execute down the stretch. Times it’s just not your night. It happens. This … well this was something else. There’s no way to be ...
Thoughts on a 68-55 win against Nebraska: Indiana wins. Indiana covers. Indiana moves to 1-0 in Big Ten play. But this was far from a top performance from the Hoosiers, and it’s unlikely to pass muster against better Big Ten ...
Thoughts on a 112-110 double-overtime loss to Syracuse: After a wild, insane, ridiculous, never-say-die-from-either-side game, the honeymoon is over. The Hoosiers won two in the Bahamas, a secret scrimmage in Louisville and six straight to start the season inside Assembly ...
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 70-35 win against the Tigers: It’s that time of the year. With a holiday approaching, fewer students in the stands and another inferior opponent to play, the energy inside Assembly Hall this evening was low. And at ...
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 68-62 win against Eastern Michigan: Three offseason talking points we know to be true. (Well, as true as anything can be after just one game, that is.) 1) Mike Woodson’s steady drumbeat of the “defense being ahead ...
