That message came up on Mike Woodson’s radio show on Monday night as well. “We’ve got to get…
Mike Woodson’s lengthy NBA career can pay dividends to Indiana in a number of ways — including on the recruiting trail. The second-year IU head coach has extensive relationships across the basketball spectrum, including a long list of former players. When IU senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis went looking for feedback on Woodson when Indiana hired him in 2021, he ended up connecting with Carmelo Anthony. “I asked around, I asked last year, Carmelo Anthony, he told me he was his favorite coach he ever played for, and I can see why now,” Jackson-Davis said earlier this year. Woodson’s bond with…

Indiana looks fast so far, but it would be wise to avoid quick conclusions. While he and his coaches and teammates feel the need for speed, Tamar Bates says he knows there will be fewer transition opportunities as the season progresses. Beginning on Friday evening at Xavier, when IU faces its first of 24 high major foes, the opposition will be more athletic, longer, and better schooled on what we are seeing from Indiana through two games. Since KenPom started tracking average possession length in 2010, Indiana has only had one team under 16 seconds per trip, and it was…
