IU basketball head coach Mike Woodson will not coach Indiana on Wednesday evening as he recovers from COVID, the school announced in a release. Associate head coach Yasir Rosemond, who had the primary scout for tonight’s game, will handle all post-game media obligations. An IU representative told The Daily Hoosier there is no acting head coach tonight, and the staff will be sharing the decision making responsibilities. Woodson also missed his radio show on Monday night but host Don Fischer said he was at a wake in New Jersey. Rosemond is in his second season at IU and first as…

The losses keep mounting for Minnesota. Indiana has played a significant stretch of the season without starters Race Thompson and Xavier Johnson, but it could be worse. The Golden Gophers will be down to just seven scholarship players when they face the Hoosiers on Wednesday evening (9 p.m. Eastern, BTN). The team announced on Wednesday they’ll be without junior forward Dawson Garcia and freshman forward Pharrel Payne.  At 6-foot-11 and 6-foot-9, they are the Gophers’ two tallest main rotation players. Garcia, a player IU recruited out of high school, is Minnesota’s leading scorer (14.9 points per game) and rebounder (6.3…

Indiana made some momentum changing 3-pointers against Michigan State on Sunday.  And their ability to make those shots had the Spartans unsure of just what to do with Trayce Jackson-Davis, who scored 18 points in the second half. MSU head coach Tom Izzo called it a “pick your poison” scenario after Indiana’s 82-69 win. While they don’t shoot a high volume of attempts from beyond the arc, 3-pointers have become a reliable part of Indiana’s offensive attack this season.  The Hoosiers are making 38.1 percent from deep through 19 games.  That’s 19th best in the country.  Four main rotation players…

After falling completely out of the votes last week, the IU men nearly climbed all the way back into the AP Top-25 after finishing off their third straight double-digit win over a Big Ten opponent. Indiana is receiving the second most votes of teams outside the top-25, placing them effectively at No. 27 in the poll. As strange as it may seem, that also gives IU the second-highest vote total in the Big Ten, behind Purdue, who returned to the No. 1 spot. The Boilermakers are the only team in the league in this week’s top-25.  A look at the…

After stuffing the stat sheet last week in IU wins over Illinois and Michigan State, Trayce Jackson-Davis has received a wave of national player of the week honors on Monday.  Naismith, ESPN and the NCAA all named the senior forward the best player in the country last week. Jackson-Davis was also named the Big Ten player of the Week on Monday.  He received the weekly league honor for the fourth time, and he’s the first IU player to win it since Jackson-Davis got it on Nov. 15, 2021. Here is a release from IU Athletics highlighting Jackson-Davis’ eye-catching accomplishments last…

Hey, I think we’ve got something here.  Indiana claimed its third straight double-digit Big Ten win on Sunday with a strong effort against Michigan State. Indiana fell behind early 17-8, and again by nine at 25-16.  But a 10-0 IU run changed the game, and the Hoosiers carried a 37-32 lead into halftime.  The Spartans rallied and took a 51-49 second half lead with 13:34 left in the game — only to be met immediately with a second 10-0 IU run.  This time the Hoosiers never looked back. Let’s take a deeper look at how the Hoosiers won 82-69 with…

North Carolina is expected to hire Indiana’s Jason Jones as cornerbacks coach, Matt Zenitz of On3 is reporting. Indiana hired Jones away from Florida Atlantic following the 2019 season, and he served as the program’s safeties coach for each of the last three seasons.  Jamar Johnson was selected in the NFL Draft in 2021 after playing a year under Jones. At UNC, Jones will be reunited with Tar Heels’ defensive coordinator Charlton Warren, who served for one season (2021) as defensive coordinator at IU under Tom Allen. Allen knew Jones well when he hired him.  The pair had worked together…
