It will be a one-and-done tenure for wide receivers coach Adam Henry in Bloomington. Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported on Wednesday afternoon Henry is headed back to the NFL to coach the wide receivers for the Buffalo Bills. Tom Allen announced the hiring of Henry, who also held the title of co-offensive coordinator, less than a year ago on March 18, 2022. In his lone season at IU, Henry helped Cam Camper emerge as a weapon at the Power Five level after transferring in from junior college.  Camper had 46 catches for 569 yards in seven games before…

Indiana will start its game against Northwestern on Wednesday having not allowed a point in its last 5:12 of action. But the last time they faced the Wildcats, a veteran backcourt duo scorched that now surging IU defense. Chase Audige and Boo Buie combined for 47 points in early January as Indiana struggled to contain both of them off the drive. And what Audige and Buie did a month ago to Indiana was nothing new. A year ago in Evanston, Buie had 18 and Audige 12 as Northwestern beat a shorthanded IU squad. Back in Dec. 2020, Audige scored all…

Lost in the chaos of Indiana’s stressful 62-61 win at Michigan was an impressive start. On IU’s first play of the game, the Hoosiers ran a set that freed up Trayce Jackson-Davis for a wide open dunk. And on Monday night head coach Mike Woodson gave credit where it was due — to the IU women’s basketball staff. As it turns out the IU men’s staff first saw the play — involving a scissors action and a UCLA style back screen — when watching the women’s game against Iowa on Thursday. “My assistant coaches were at the girls’ game, and…

Indiana senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis was named Big Ten Co-Player of the Week for the fourth-straight week, while freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week, the league announced on Monday.

A 2-0 week with wins over Rutgers and Michigan help IU men’s basketball continue to ascend the AP top-25. The Hoosiers are ranked No. 14 in this week’s AP top-25, up four spots from last week’s poll.
