Indiana forward Malik Reneau is with the team in Washington after being hospitalized earlier in the week. Based on photos on IU basketball’s social media accounts, the junior forward was a participant in the team’s pregame shootaround at Alaska Airlines Arena. Reneau is not listed as questionable or out on the Big Ten’s pregame availability report. He should be able to play. Sophomore guards Jakai Newton and Gabe Cupps are both out. IU coach Mike Woodson was not sure of Reneau’s status after the Penn State game on Wednesday. Reneau went to the emergency room ahead of that game due…

Trey Galloway has seen it all over five seasons at Indiana. That’s what happens when you play in more games than anyone in IU basketball history, a mark he’ll achieve next week if all goes well. And that’s something you can never really take for granted with the guy Mike Woodson has called “crazy man.” Much of what Galloway has been through since arriving in Bloomington in 2020 hasn’t been a joy ride. There have been numerous injuries, shooting slumps, losing streaks, boos, disappointing seasons, and now two coaching changes. But the 6-foot-5 guard has persevered, and Galloway is in…
Former Indiana defensive tackle C.J. West is helping his NFL Draft stock once again this week. West garnered significant attention at the Shrine Bowl recently, and he is building on that momentum. In Indianapolis Thursday, West became just the ninth defensive tackle weighing 315 or more pounds to run a sub-5 second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine since 2003. Measured at 6-foot-1 and 316 pounds, West also posted a 33-inch vertical leap. His arms measured 31.5 inches, and his hands 9.75, all according to the NFL. West appears to have worked his way into the conversation as a possible…
It doesn’t get much sweeter than beating your rival 66-0 on Senior Night. And in November, former IU football center Mike Katic paraded around the field at Memorial Stadium with the Old Oaken Bucket in his hands and an ear-to-ear grin on his face. The win over a rival, the margin, Senior Night — that would all be enough to explain Katic’s joy. But after six years in Bloomington, Katic became fully immersed in the rivalry with Purdue. And this week he unleashed a tirade aimed at the Boilermakers that illustrates just how much he grew to dislike them. Katic…
Indiana forward Malik Reneau went to the hospital on Wednesday. The junior forward was nowhere to be found when the Hoosiers came out for pregame warmups ahead of their game against Penn State. Following his team’s 83-78 win over the Nittany Lions, IU coach Mike Woodson said Reneau came down with an illness earlier in the day that required him to go to the hospital. “Malik, right now, I’m just — I’ve got to get an update,” Woodson said. “I know we took him to the hospital, the emergency room. He was fine in shoot-around. Then he came down with…

Indiana football entered foreign territory in 2025. The program set a new win total record. It contended for a Big Ten championship until the final week of the regular season. It made the College Football Playoff, providing a path to win the national championship. And the quarterback was legitimately in the Heisman Trophy conversation. What are the chances of all of that happening again in Curt Cignetti’s second season as head coach of Indiana? One thing is clear — everyone thinks IU’s chances of high level success are much better this time after witnessing Cignetti’s dramatic program turnaround. Ahead of…
