No one has played in more IU basketball games than Trey Galloway. When the Hoosiers tipped at Oregon on Tuesday evening, Galloway logged his 138th game with Indiana.  That broke a tie coming into the game with former star point guard Yogi Ferrell. The Culver, Ind. product joined the IU program ahead of the 2020-21 season after he committed to play for former head coach Archie Miller. Although Galloway has missed a number of games due to injuries, he was able to break the games played record because of the fifth season he received as a result of the COVID-19…

The IU football program has been training with the strength and conditioning staff over since everyone returned to campus, but the Hoosiers are about to return to the practice field. Here are a few key things to know about the next six weeks: TODAY – MARCH 4 IU football hosts its annual Pro Day for NFL scouts and other personnel in Bloomington.  While only Kurtis Rourke and C.J. West received NFL Combine invites, this day expands the opportunity for former IU players to perform combine-like activities in front of the league and gives them a chance to earn training camp…

Mike Woodson had a predicament coming into this fourth season as head coach of Indiana. Two of the top players on his roster were without a doubt Malik Reneau and Oumar Ballo.  Reneau averaged 15.4 points per game as sophomore and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten.  Ballo was first team All-Pac-12 last year and averaged 12.9 points per game. Either player would start for just about any team in the country.  But should they start and play together?  That was the question. Now with nearly a full season of data, it has become easy to see why playing Reneau and…

With the first and primary round of transfer portal activity in the books and spring practice right around the corner, the page has been fully turned to the 2025 college football season. ESPN’s Bill Connelly has made his first power rankings projection for 2025 utilizing his SP+ tool. Connelly’s SP+ model is more of an analytical tool rather than a prediction of the AP top-25.  The three primary inputs are returning roster production, recent recruiting performance, and recent program performance. A couple words of caution:  That latter element (recent program performance) still includes noise from the last two years of…

With four wins in its last five games, Indiana has flipped the script on its 2024-25 season. Let’s get the easy part out of the way.  As we reported yesterday, the Hoosiers are in the Big Ten’s 15-team tournament that starts on March 16. And their possible seed range for the league’s March 12-16 event in Indianapolis is fairly tight at this point.  The Hoosiers could finish anywhere from the No. 8 seed to the No. 12 seed.  And by beating Ohio State this weekend, IU would be guaranteed a spot in the 8/9 game. As the No. 8 or…

Sydney Parrish will get another shot at her former team on Thursday in Indianapolis. On Sunday evening the Big Ten announced the bracket for the 2025 women’s basketball tournament.  No. 9 seed Indiana (18-11, 10-8) will face No. 8 Oregon (19-10, 10-8) on Thursday at Noon ET. The Hoosiers lost 54-47 to the Ducks in Eugene in the lone meeting during the regular season. A Parrish 3-pointer as part of a 7-0 run gave the Hoosiers a 10-point edge, 32-22, with 5:36 left in the third quarter. But from that point Indiana was outscored 32-15 the rest of the way. …

A late season surge including wins in four of their last five games has put IU basketball comfortably in the Big Ten Tournament. Their 78-62 win at Washington on Saturday sealed the deal. With the addition of four new teams in 2024, the Big Ten Tournament moved to an 15-team field, meaning three teams will not participate in the event that runs March 12-16 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. When IU fell to 5-8 in the league following a home loss to Michigan, the Hoosiers appeared to be in jeopardy of missing the Big Ten Tournament.  But they’ve gone 4-1…

(via release) No. 2-ranked Indiana won its fourth consecutive Big Ten Men’s Swimming and Diving Championship on Saturday (March 1) inside the Jane K. Freeman Aquatic Center on the campus of the University of Minnesota. IU’s 448-point margin is the largest in Big Ten history. Over the four-day meet, the Hoosiers won 11 Big Ten Championships, earned 26 medals, set Big Ten records in the 200 medley relay (1:21.39), 400 freestyle relay (2:45.62) and 200-yard backstroke (Owen McDonald – 1:37.15) and broke championship records in the 400 medley relay (2:59.87), 200-yard IM (Owen McDonald – 1:39.89) and 100-yard breaststroke (Finn…

You had to go back to Valentine’s Day to find a missed shot by Malik Reneau. And even that day he finished with four makes in a row. The junior forward made his final four shots against UCLA on Feb. 14, made all seven attempts against Purdue on Feb. 23, and started Saturday’s game against Washington by making his first six. Those 17 consecutive makes from the field are the most by an IU basketball player in at least 25 years, an IU spokesperson tells The Daily Hoosier. What’s particularly impressive about Reneau’s historic streak is that he missed a…
