It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.  Indiana followed its first win at Mackey Arena in 10 years with one of its worst losses ever on its home court. This one was never really close.  Iowa had a 10-point lead less than three minutes into the game.  IU pulled to within four at 24-20, but Iowa responded with a 19-6 run.  The Hoosiers got back to within single-digits once more at 47-38, but that was met with a 14-2 knockout punch by the Hawkeyes. Let’s take a deeper look at how the Hoosiers lost 90-68…

With his ninth rebound against Iowa on Tuesday night, Indiana forward Trayce Jackson-Davis passed Alan Henderson and become the program’s all-time leader in that category. Henderson set the previous mark of 1,091 during his career that spanned from 1991 to 1995.  He sent out a congratulatory Tweet after the game. https://twitter.com/44AlanHenderson/status/1630761300354531330?s=20 Jackson-Davis had 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting with 13 rebounds, five assists and a career-high four steals in the loss to Iowa.  This was Jackson-Davis’ 48th career double-double. It was also his 22nd career game with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds. Jackson-Davis started the game third all-time…

While he won’t play on Tuesday evening, point guard Xavier Johnson looks much closer to a return. The fifth-year point guard wore the team’s pre-game warmups and put himself through a much more intense shooting routine than what we’ve seen over the last month. Johnson left the court in a full sweat, and he was likely getting back in the routine to prepare for a possible return on Sunday when IU hosts Michigan. https://twitter.com/daily_hoosier/status/1630697460233273344?s=20 Also not playing on Tuesday is junior forward Jordan Geronimo. Geronimo emerged from the tunnel during pre-game wearing a boot on his right foot. https://twitter.com/daily_hoosier/status/1630701721566453760?s=20 The…

Proceed with caution if you’re going to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall tonight. There’s a FranCon Alert in the greater Bloomington area. Just days removed from his latest episode of bizarre on the court behavior, Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery and his posse of Hawkeyes have rolled into town. It’s a rematch Indiana fans have been anxiously awaiting. Eight weeks ago at Iowa, McCaffery came over to the Indiana bench with less than a minute remaining in a tight game and was whistled for a technical foul. But for reasons never explained publicly by the Big Ten, that technical was rescinded.…

If Xavier Johnson returns during the regular season, it won’t be until Indiana’s final home game on Sunday against Michigan. On his radio show Monday night, head coach Mike Woodson said the fifth-year point guard won’t be available when IU faces Iowa on Tuesday in Bloomington. “He’s been on the floor here recently (at practice),” Woodson told show host Don Fischer.  “We’re still waiting to get the final approval from the doctors and training staff to make sure he’s ready to go. “He won’t play tomorrow (Tuesday vs. Iowa) and then we’ll have a few days to continue to work…

Trey Galloway’s coaches and teammates call him the crazy man. And on Saturday night at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, it was Galloway driving Purdue and their fans crazy with a two minute and thirty second sequence of events early in the second half that completely changed the game. Indiana went on a 12-0 run during that span, and Galloway was at the center of it all, with eight points, two forced turnovers and an assist. “I’ll tell you what, Trey Galloway has come out in the second half, and he’s playing his heart out,” FOX play-by-play man Gus Johnson…

The countdown to Selection Sunday 2023 continues.  Now just two weeks away, it is time once again for our weekly look at where IU basketball stands in the eyes of the bracketology world. With two regular season games plus the Big Ten Tournament remaining, Indiana (20-9, 11-7) remains solidly in the NCAA Tournament field after splitting a week of brutal road trips to Michigan State and Purdue. The best estimate might be that Indiana is hovering right now between a No. 3 and No. 4 seed, and probably leaning towards a No. 4 at this point. With a minimum of…
