You take them any way you can get them in February. Indiana survived a home court scare on Saturday, earned its third straight win over Illinois, and clinched at least a .500 record in the Big Ten for the first time since 2018. It was a struggle throughout. After IU led 17-12 early, Illinois surged out to 34-26 first half advantage. The Illini took multiple nine-point second half leads, and Indiana never led after the break until a pair of Jalen Hood-Schifino free throws with :30 seconds left. Let’s take a deeper look at how the Hoosiers win 71-68 with…
While it’s no major surprise, Trayce Jackson-Davis broke some news on Saturday after Indiana’s 71-68 win over Illinois. The senior forward, who may end a first team All-American after a highly productive season, told Stadium’s Jeff Goodman he is planning to go through senior night when IU hosts Michigan on March 5. “I am indeed going through senior night,” Jackson-Davis told Goodman. “I feel like it kind of speaks for itself, but I feel like four years is enough for me. Sometimes you’ve got to move on. I’m grateful for my time here, and I’ll say the rest during senior…
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana defeated Illinois by a final score of 71-68 on Saturday afternoon at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Illinois led 38-35 at halftime. The Hoosiers were led in the game by Trayce Jackson-Davis with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Three others scored in double figures to balance out the scoring. Indiana (19-8, 10-6) will next travel to Michigan State for a Tuesday evening contest. THREE KEYS TO THE GAME 1. Winning ugly. The Hoosiers shot just 43.9 percent from the field and had 14 turnovers, but after trailing for most of the second half, they rallied late. IU scored six…
Illinois is expected to be without leading scorer Terrence Shannon on Saturday against Indiana according to a report. Stadium’s Jeff Goodman said on Twitter Shannon will not play because of a concussion he suffered against Penn State earlier this week. The 6-foot-6 Shannon is averaging 17 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He is the leading scorer for the Fighting Illini and scored 26 points in the first meeting with IU. He is coming off a team high 20-point performance at Penn State. Shannon’s absence will likely lead to more playing time for a trio of reserve wings. R.J. Melendez…
Watch as Illinois head coach Brad Underwood met with the media on Friday in Champaign. The sixth-year coach spoke extensively about the challenge of guarding IU’s Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Indiana made an official announcement regarding the addition of Matt Guerrieri as the program’s new co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach. The news of Guerrieri joining IU first broke last week. Guerrieri replaces Jason Jones, who recently left the program to take the cornerbacks job at North Carolina. Below is the full release from IU Athletics, with comments from head coach Tom Allen and Guerrieri. —————- GUERRIERI NAMED INDIANA CO-DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana head football coach Tom Allen announced the hiring of Matt Guerrieri (gurr-AIR-ee) as co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach on Friday afternoon. “Matt fits in perfectly with our culture and aligns with…
Indiana’s recent run of success on the hardwood has been fueled by the high-level play of Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jalen Hood-Schifino. Their production over the last six weeks has led to IU winning eight of ten games and has the Hoosiers squarely in the mix for a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament. It has also led to a completely new NBA Draft outlook for both players. When ESPN’s Jonathan Givony published a mock draft in late December, neither of them were projected to be drafted in the 2023 NBA Draft. Both Jackson-Davis and Hood-Schifino dealt with lower back issues…
If there are common links to Indiana’s losses this year, combatting pressure defense and stopping dribble penetration seem like a couple that stand out. Along with a lack of reliable guard depth. Those are areas where fifth-year point guard Xavier Johnson can help, and it sounds like he’ll be back on the court for Indiana sooner than later. On his pre-game radio spot on Wednesday evening, IU coach Mike Woodson said Johnson is “probably another week or two” from returning. That was the first time Woodson put any kind of timeline on a possible return for his veteran floor general.…
In a tale of two halves, Indiana couldn’t quite dig out of the massive hole it created. IU fell behind by as much as 21 points in the first half, fueled by a 14-0 Northwestern run that included four technical foul free throws for the Wildcats. Indiana still trailed by 17 with 15:50 left in the game, before they mounted a furious rally and tied the game at 62 with 28 seconds remaining. Let’s take a deeper look at how the Hoosiers lost 64-62 with another edition of The Report Card. Indiana (18-8, 9-6) will next host Illinois on Saturday…
