Playing on the road at UNC Greensboro, the Hoosiers started fast with a goal from Maouloune Goumballe in the 16th minute.  He took a throw-in, made a quick turn a fired a laser into the far corner. https://twitter.com/IndianaMSOC/status/1599168457114677249?s=20&t=UZXPjGZY4j1s7pnRtXTqXg The Hoosiers carried that 1-0 lead into halftime, and then extended the advantage when Sam Sarver turned a Patrick McDonald steal and a 3-on-2 advantage into a breakaway score. https://twitter.com/IndianaMSOC/status/1599188255576010752?s=20&t=UZXPjGZY4j1s7pnRtXTqXg The Hoosiers won it by a 2-0 final score.

“I haven’t beat Rutgers since I’ve been here.” Say what now? It was a bit startling to hear Trayce Jackson-Davis say those words on Wednesday evening just after Indiana’s 77-65 win over North Carolina. From an IU basketball standpoint, Rutgers was a welcome addition to the Big Ten when they joined in 2014.  The Hoosiers were in between two outright Big Ten titles in four years, and the Scarlet Knights hadn’t made the NCAA Tournament since 1991. Rutgers looked like an easy win or two on the Big Ten slate each year, and that’s exactly what they became for Indiana. …

When it comes to bringing high end recruiting talent on campus — IU basketball has been on a roll of late.  The Hoosiers had eight prospects on campus for their win over North Carolina, and they followed several elite prospects over the last few months. The trend will continue into the month of December as the Hoosiers will welcome class of 2024 wing Tyler Betsey for an official visit, he told Jamie Shaw of On3.  Ranked a 4-star and the No. 59 player in the class according to the On3 Consensus, Betsey has gone from unranked into even the top-20…

Indiana made a statement on Wednesday night in Bloomington against No. 18 North Carolina.  Now with impressive high major wins both at home and on the road, it’s reasonable to say this IU squad is the real deal heading into Big Ten play. The Hoosiers never let their foot off the gas.  They led for more than 37 minutes of the game, never trailed by more than a point, and didn’t trail in the last 27 minutes of the contest.  After taking a double-digit lead with 16 minutes left in the game, IU’s lead was never less than seven. Let’s…
