Whether he plays on Saturday or not, this is it for Cam Jones’ college football career. After starting his fifth season at IU on what head coach Tom Allen has referred to as an All-American pace, Jones was injured in the Nebraska game and hasn’t seen the field since. With one more opportunity to play for Indiana, it would be reasonable to expect Jones to have a singular focus this week — get back out there between the lines a final time. But the Memphis, Tenn. product has more than himself in mind as the weather turns cold and the…

After a 2-0 week that included a high major road win at Xavier, IU men’s basketball moved up a spot to No. 11 in the new AP top-25 released on Monday.

Indiana junior guard Trey Galloway sat out of the Hoosiers’ Sunday 86-56 win over Miami (Ohio) in Indianapolis.  The team announced before the game he was being held out for precautionary reasons. According to head coach Mike Woodson, the Culver, Ind. product has what he described as a minor knee issue. “We didn’t play Gallo tonight,” Woodson said.  “He got banged up in the game before or he would have been in the rotation. “He twisted his knee the other night at Xavier, and we’re just being cautious to make sure he is okay.” Galloway did not participate in pre-game…

Then a 9-play, 70-yard IU drive capped off by a 1-yard Josh Henderson touchdown run completed the rally, as Indiana tied the game at 31…
