LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Indiana starting freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino will not play when No. 14 Indiana faces No. 10 Arizona on Saturday.

Battling back soreness, Hood-Schifino has now missed three straight games after producing his best effort of the season against North Carolina on Nov. 30.  The injury is not expected to be serious or long-term, but it is clearly now lingering for the talented first year point guard. The Pittsburgh…

The Hoosiers started fast in this one and never trailed.  They built a 14-2 lead to open the game, and Nebraska never got back within seven.  IU extended the lead out to as much as 22 late in the second half. Let’s take a deeper look at how the Hoosiers won with another edition of The Report Card. No. 14 Indiana (8-1, 1-1) will next travel to…

IU head coach Mike Woodson pulled Jackson-Davis from the game with 6:33 remaining, still two assists shy of the triple-double.  When he exited Indiana had an 18 point lead, and it was conceivable Jackson-Davis’…
