Class of 2024 guard Boogie Fland announced on Friday he has committed to Kentucky. After months of effort prioritizing Fland, the news came as a surprise to Indiana when a decision was reached this week. So where does that leave IU basketball looking forward to the 2024-25 season? For now, Indiana will focus on 2024 power forward/center Derik Queen, who should decide on a school in the next couple weeks. IU, Maryland and Houston appear to be his main schools. But whatever happens with Queen, Indiana will have to address its backcourt prior to next season. Indiana is certain to…

One day before he announces, class of 2024 top-20 guard Boogie Fland has the national recruiting outlets guessing. While the 6-foot-3 Fland is publicly down to IU, Kentucky and Alabama, the one thing everyone does seem to agree on is Fland won’t pick the Crimson Tide. 247Sports national reporter Eric Bossi believes Indiana has made a strong push towards the end of Fland’s recruitment. But he wouldn’t go so far as to say the Hoosiers have passed Kentucky. “While the Wildcats have maybe been seen as the slightest of favorites, Mike Woodson and the Hoosiers have been making a serious…
The expansion of the Big Ten to 18 teams may lead to more men’s basketball conference games next season. The Big Ten was the first conference to play 20 conference games in the history of Division I basketball in 2018-19, and it could be adding to the gauntlet just six years later. There are ongoing discussion to increase the league slate to 22 games.

Former IU baseball star Kyle Schwarber struggled in the National League Divisional round of the playoffs earlier this month. But the Philadelphia Phillies outfielder is off to a torrid start in the NLCS. Schwarber has hit three home runs in the first two games of the best-of-seven series with Arizona, including two on Tuesday evening in connection with a 10-0 Phillies win. With those two home runs, Schwarber has tied New York Yankees legends Reggie Jackson and Mickey Mantle with 18 postseason home runs — the most by a lefthanded batter in Major League Baseball history. And while Jackson earned…
Romeo Langford is a free agent just days before the start of the 2023 NBA season. According to multiple reports on Tuesday, Langford has been waived by the Utah Jazz. He signed a deal with the NBA franchise in August. The deal was an Exhibit 10 contract, meaning the Jazz own Langford’s G-League rights if he’s waived by the organization. Most recently with the San Antonio Spurs, Langford was also a free agent following the 2022-23 season. Langford, who will turn 24 next Wednesday, was drafted 14th overall by the Celtics in 2019. Over his four-year NBA career, Langford is…
