They’ve done it again. The Indiana women’s basketball’s home game on Feb. 22 against Iowa is officially sold out, the program announced on Wednesday via release. It will be the second sellout in as many seasons. The Hoosiers sold out Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall against Purdue last February.

Indiana isn’t finished pursuing talent for what has become a pretty impressive wide receiver room. According to a report by national 247Sport reporter Matt Zenitz, James Madison transfer wideout Elijah Sarratt will visit Indiana and South Carolina in the coming days. Sarratt was named first-team all-Sun Belt Conference after catching a team-high 82 passes for 1,191 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore in 2023, helping James Madison finish 11-2. Over the Dukes’ final six games, Sarratt had over 100 receiving yards in five contests. The 6-foot-2 Sarratt transferred to JMU after spending one season at Saint Francis (2022) where…

Cornhuskers center Rienk Mast will be a game time decision as Big Ten play resumes in Lincoln, Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said. Mast went through most of a noncontact practice Monday then participated in “a little bit of contact” Tuesday, Hoiberg said. “We’ll see how he reacts tomorrow,” Hoiberg said. “Obviously we’re gonna play it careful this time of year with him. We’ve got a long ways to go, but it’s nice to see him…
After a bit of a sluggish start, Indiana freshman forward Mackenzie Mgbako seems to have turned a corner. And people are noticing.

The Gladstone, N.J., native averaged 13.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists on 6-of-16 (37.5%) shooting from the 3-point line in a trio of non-conference games against Morehead State (Dec. 19), North Alabama (Dec. 21), and Kennesaw State (Dec. 29). Mgbako tallied 13 points, seven rebounds, and one assist in 32 minutes against Morehead State. He followed with 12 points, five rebounds, three…
As is the case throughout college football each season, Indiana’s roster will look quite a bit different in 2024. In total as of Tuesday morning Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers have added 17 players from the transfer portal. They also have another 17 players from the high school ranks set to join the team in 2024. Today is the last day players can enter the portal for a while, although those in the portal by today can take as long as necessary to find a new home. The overhaul will continue all the way through the end of spring practice, after which…
We spend nearly eight months wondering what the next edition of IU basketball will look like, only to drink from a firehose once the season begins. With the calendar now flipped to 2024 and Big Ten play about to hit overdrive, it’s a good time to take step back and examine what the advanced data says about these 2023-24 vintage Hoosiers. First, here’s the big picture for Indiana from three of the main advanced analytic resources, including the NCAA’s NET tool which is used by the NCAA Tournament Committee to help evaluate at-large selections. NCAA NET – national overall No.…
