There was little doubt Indiana was missing star receiver Elijah Sarratt on Saturday afternoon at Beaver Stadium. With Penn State bringing the blitz play after play, and locked in press man coverage, the Hoosiers needed their receivers to win one-on-one matchups — and win them quickly.  That is a Sarratt specialty, and with him out of the game with a hamstring injury, someone else had to step up. Enter sophomore Charlie Becker. Although he showed promise in 2024 as a true freshman, Indiana recruited over Becker this past winter and spring.  They brought in Jonathan Brady from California, Makai Jackson…

FOR FURTHER UPDATES HEAD TO THE LIVE GAME ARTICLE AND DISCUSSION. Indiana All-American linebacker Aiden Fisher is expected to return to the starting lineup when the Hoosiers face Penn State this afternoon. That’s according to a Saturday morning report by ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

Preseason No. 2 meets the current No. 2 as Indiana travels to Penn State. This game looks completely different now than it did just a few months ago. But in a stadium where they’ve never won against a team full of talent, IU knows better than to take this one lightly.

Trailing UIC 34-27 at the half, Indiana appeared to be in trouble. But senior guard Shay Ciezki erupted for 25 second half points and the Hoosiers clamped down on the defensive end to pull away for a 72-56 win at SImon Skjodt Assembly Hall Friday evening. UIC’s defensive effort set the tone in the first half.  But it was Indiana’s defense that led the way after the break.  IU outscored the Flames 45-22 in the second half.  UIC shot just 24% and had six turnovers in the final 20 minutes. With 35 points on the night, Ciezki finished with the…

Three former IU basketball players are on NBA G League rosters as play begins Friday evening. Trey Galloway is with the Santa Cruz Warriors, Luke Goode is with the South Bay Lakers, and Miller Kopp is with the Cleveland Charge.

There was plenty to like about Indiana’s season-opening 98-51 win over Alabama A&M Wednesday evening in Bloomington.  The Hoosiers were elite on both ends ends of the floor against a team they should have dominated. And recently, that hasn’t always been something that could be taken for granted. Archie Miller opened his IU tenure with a 90-69 home loss to Indiana State, and fell again weeks later at home by 20 to Fort Wayne. Mike Woodson’s start at IU wasn’t that bad, but his first game as head coach saw Indiana only leading Eastern Michigan by two points with less…

Indiana’s first-ever trip to Beaver Stadium in 1993 might have been their best chance to beat Penn State in the mammoth 100,000-plus seat venue. Played 32 years ago to the day on Thursday, the game appeared to be over as PSU took a 31-17 lead into the fourth quarter.   But IU quarterback John Paci connected with Thomas Lewis for a 99-yard touchdown to bring the Hoosiers within seven, and they weren’t finished rallying. The Hoosiers were ranked higher than the home team that day and still had Rose Bowl aspirations.  No. 15 IU was tied with the No. 17 Nittany…
