After a massive second half of his senior season, Trayce Jackson-Davis is Indiana’s first AP first team All-American since Victor Oladipo. Joining Jackson-Davis on the first team are Jalen Wilson (Kansas), Zach Edey (Purdue), Marcus Sasser (Houston), and Brandon Miller (Alabama). Jackson-Davis averaged per game career highs in points (20.8), rebounds (10.9), assists (4.1), blocks (2.7) and steals (.9) while shooting 57.8 percent from the field. Over his last 16 games of the 2022-23 season, Jackson-Davis averaged 23.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.1 steals per contest. He also recorded just the third triple-double in IU basketball…

You can’t really call it a vengeance tour. Very few people involved with IU basketball in 2008 are even still around the program. But the IU fans remember.  And for them at least, the name Kelvin Sampson is synonymous with pain, frustration, embarrassment, and three years of misery. Sampson, of course, was the IU basketball head coach in 2008 when the team was placed on probation following an NCAA investigation into impermissible phone calls.  And if Indiana advances to the Sweet 16 on Sunday, there’s a good chance they’ll face Sampson and his No. 1 seeded Houston Cougars next week.…

The NCAA made the peculiar decision to open the transfer portal the day after the NCAA Tournament field was announced. Yes, the portal opened for undergraduates on Monday, just as 68 staffs around the country are preparing for their opening round games in the Big Dance. For Indiana and every other program in the NCAA field, this week will be about dividing up and conquering both the NCAA Tournament and the transfer portal. So that means we’ve got to dual-track it too. We’ll call this our “lay of the land” post, to be followed up with all of the notable…

For the first time in program history, IU women’s basketball is a No. 1 seed. The Hoosiers will host the first two rounds of the 2023 NCAA Tournament, beginning on Saturday.  They’ll face the winner of a play-in game between No. 16 seeds Monmouth and Tennessee Tech.  The Saturday tip time has not yet been announced. If the Hoosiers advance they’ll play the winner of an 8/9 game between Oklahoma State and Miami (Florida). IU is the second highest No. 1 seed in the tournament, behind South Carolina.  The Hoosiers would not have to face the Gamecocks until the national…

The wait is over.  March Madness is here, and Indiana is dancing once again. Indiana is a No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region and will face No. 13 seed Kent State in the first round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament.  The game will be played in Albany, N.Y. on Friday night at 9:55 p.m. ET (TBS). Kent State finished the season 28-6 and won the MAC tournament title over the weekend after finishing second during the regular season.  The Golden Flashes are ranked No. 71 according to KenPom.com, with the No. 110 offense and No. 38 defense in the…

There will be no nerves on Sunday evening as the NCAA Tournament bracket is revealed. Indiana (22-11) is solidly in the field, and they won’t even have to suffer through any absurd Dayton to Portland crack of dawn adventures along the way. But while the travel will be much simpler this time around, “where” seems to be the biggest question for Mike Woodson’s Hoosiers right now. IU entered the Big Ten Tournament widely expected to be a No. 4 seed in the Big Dance, and their 1-1 performance this weekend seems to have done little to change that.  It should…
