In three seasons at IU, Woodson has had two teams outside the national top-200 in three-point percentage, and one in the top-40.

Sure, having Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jalen Hood-Schifino on that team made a big difference, but Woodson and his staff also relied on long-range…

Fans all across the country have been coming out to get a glimpse of new WNBA star Caitlin Clark. The Indiana Fever have already set their home season attendance record, and road venues are shattering records left and right when Clark comes to town. The same thing happened at IU a year ago.

Just a few months ago when Clark came to Bloomington, IU recorded their second all-time sellout for a women’s game, and ticket prices soared on the secondary…

“I’m into production over potential.” New IU football coach Curt Cignetti has said variations of that phrase on multiple occasions during his seven months in Bloomington. And it showed as the new head Hoosier assembled his first roster in Bloomington. At several positions Pro Football Focus has said IU has players among the highest-graded returners in the Big Ten.  When PFF says returners, they mean players returning to college football from any school and playing in the Big Ten in 2024. According to that measure, IU has three of the top-10 returning wide receivers (Elijah Sarratt, Donaven McCulley, Ke’Shawn Williams),…

Rocco Miller of bracketeer.org is reporting IU basketball will host Chattanooga in a 2024-25 nonconference game. The Mocs were the No. 140 team in the nation at the end of the 2023-24 season according to KenPom.
