Hoosiers miss 13 free throws — and lose by 13

To call free throw shooting a problem for the 2008-2009 version of the Indiana Hoosiers would be an understatement. The foul line has been more of a major catastrophe. Indiana (6-18, 1-11 Big Ten) hit just 11 of 24 free ...

Eric Gordon dishes on girls and hobbits (yes, you read that right)

Let me preface this by saying I’m a huge Eric Gordon fan. He seems to be a soft spoken, genuinely nice kid that does things the right way. I even own an “Air Gordon” t-shirt and admittedly watched YouTube highlights ...

Proof that Tom Crean’s human: Audible frustration

Since the day Tom Crean arrived on campus in Bloomington last April, he’s said all of the right things. After inheriting a situation that quickly turned far more sour than anyone could have ever imagined, Crean still managed to give ...

Pat Forde brings IU’s attendance into perspective

I’ve already said my piece on attendance at Assembly Hall this year, but since then and the addition of the $5 tickets in the balcony, attendance hasn’t been too shabby. If you make it cheaper, they will come. Sunday against ...

Good, Bad and Ugly: Minnesota

FINAL SCORE: Minnesota: 62 IU: 54 THE BAD AND UGLY: The first half. Whoa boy: it was tough to watch, even by this year’s standards. Turnover after turnover after turnover. And then a few more turnovers. When the fist half ...

Good news: Statistically, Indiana only sort of bad

So it’s been a pretty horrendous season. We can all agree on that, right? The Devan Dumes suspension is only the most recent metaphorical nut-punch this season has delivered upon fans of Indiana basketball. It’s also been, at times, very ...
