Hoosiers turn up the D for 13th straight win

If there was a knock on Indiana in their past 12 games, it was a lack of consistency on defense. Sure, there were some flashes of defensive brilliance, but all in all, the Hoosiers had yet to put it all ...

Giving D.J. White his due

Forgive me, D.J. White. You see, somewhere in between the Eric Gordon phenomenon and the 16-1 start for the Hoosiers, I lost track of the most important ingredient to this season’s success: You. You didn’t listen to the agents who ...

Battle tested Hoosiers prevail, 81-65

A game that looked to be a mismatch on paper turned out to be quite a battle for No. 9 Indiana Sunday afternoon in Assembly Hall. Penn State, minus All-Conference player Geary Claxton, led 52-51 with 11:53 remaining before the ...

The Morning After: Minnesota

In the days leading up to the Minnesota game, it seemed fashionable to proclaim Minnesota IU’s first road loss. It was an understandable diagnosis; The Barn is an historically difficult place to play, Minnesota has been playing well, and the ...

Q and A: ESPN’s Pat Forde

We spend plenty of time discussing IU basketball here, but there’s a whole world of hoops just beyond these borders. To help us get a national perspective — as well as discuss media and, OK, the Hoosiers too — we ...

The Morning After: Illinois

As R’s headline yesterday said — phew. I was hoping for a rout, though I won’t say I expected it; Illinois under Bruce Weber is, if good at anything, good at keeping games close with stifling defense. They did that ...

Phew!: IU escapes at home against the Illini

Well, this one certainly didn’t go as planned. The Illini did what they do best — that is, they defended the hell out of IU — and nearly handed the Hoosiers their first loss at home under Kelvin Sampson. Fortunately, ...

The Morning After: Michigan

Perhaps I’m just used to last year’s struggles on the road, but I have to admit I didn’t expect anything approaching the blowout last night in Crisler Arena. But when you combine an absolutely dreadful — I mean, just totally ...

D.J. White goes off; Hoosiers roll in Ann Arbor

It seems every couple games we’re writing about D.J. White racking up a career high in rebounds. And tonight in Ann Arbor, Mich., White was getting down and dirty again. D.J. snatched 22 boards during IU’s 78-64 win against the ...

Bassett likely out on Tuesday; D.J. talks to SI

– According to Chris Korman of the Herald Times, Armon Bassett will likely miss Tuesday’s game at Michigan. Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson had the following to say on this morning’s Big Ten conference call: “We have to get Armon Bassett ...

The Morning After: Iowa

Given the difficulty inherent in any Big Ten road game, we should probably just be thankful that IU won last night. After all, the Hoosiers have a history — at least in the past few years — of struggling in ...

Hoosiers hold off Johnson and the Hawkeyes, 79-76

Eric Gordon scored 25 points and No. 11 Indiana (12-1, 1-0 Big Ten) held off Iowa 79-76 Wednesday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa. The Hoosiers led 71-60 with 1:26 remaining, but Iowa didn’t fold. Justin Johnson scored ...

Hoosiers overcome slow start in rout of Coppin State

It was a tale of two halves for No. 14 Indiana Saturday afternoon in Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers (10-1) shot just 28 percent in the first half and led 28-26, but started the second half on a 20-4 run and ...
