Indiana didn’t help itself in Iowa this week, but the Hoosiers still managed to claim the eighth seed in the 2022 Big Ten baseball tournament. The conference office announced on Saturday evening the bracket for the 2022 tournament, held May 25-29 at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Neb.  It will be the league’s first tournament since 2019. The eight-team, double-elimination event begins Wednesday, May 25, with first-round games and continues through Sunday’s championship game on May 29. While their 2022 season hasn’t lived up to recent program standards, by making the league tournament, Indiana still has a puncher’s chance…

Indiana fans have a tendency to gravitate to the extremes, and Friday was no different when a euphoria swept through Hoosier Nation after the news broke Trayce Jackson-Davis would be returning for his senior season. The return of Indiana’s leading scorer and rebounder gives Indiana its deepest roster in a very long time.  The 2012-13 and 2015-16 Hoosiers may have been more talented at the top, but both squads lacked the kind of depth the 2022-23 edition of IU basketball appears to have. But unlike those two prior Big Ten championship teams, next year’s IU squad does still have one…

All-Big Ten forward Trayce Jackson-Davis is returning to IU basketball for the 2022-23 season, he announced today. Jackson-Davis posted the news on his Twitter page along with a video. His only words in the post and video were “23” and “I’m back.” https://twitter.com/TrayceJackson/status/1527688926214901766?s=20&t=xUrerGcxi5ZFxEmZheCT8Q The 6-foot-9 Jackson-Davis had hoped to make a strong impression at the NBA Combine, but he could not participate after testing positive for COVID-19.  Most NBA Draft projections had him going in the late second round or undrafted. “The opportunity I had to work on my game for the professional level was something that was invaluable as…

Indiana head coach Teri Moren had hinted on multiple occasions that her former star guard Ali Patberg had a future in college basketball after her playing career came to an end. This week Moren gave Patberg her first chance. Patberg has joined her alma mater on staff as a team and recruitment coordinator, the program announced on Friday morning. “We are excited to have Ali join our staff in this capacity after such a successful collegiate career,” Indiana head coach Teri Moren said in a release. “She has always expressed her desire to pursue a career in college coaching and…

We are in the heart of leaking the non-conference schedule season, and IU basketball’s first low/mid-major for the 2022-23 campaign surfaced on Friday morning. According to college basketball analyst Rocco Miller, Indiana will host Kennesaw State on Dec. 23 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington. The game will mark the third meeting between the programs, with the prior two meetings coming during the Tom Crean era.  Indiana won 90-66 in 2013, and 99-72 in 2015.  Both prior contests were also played in Bloomington. A member of the Atlantic Sun Conference, the Owls finished the 2021-22 season with a 13-18…

IU basketball head coach Mike Woodson grew up in a small house in Indianapolis, brimming with 14 family members. He knows what it feels like to arrive on a college campus with an opportunity to provide stability and comfort for loved ones.  Ultimately, he did just that. So it should come as no surprise, Woodson fully supports the idea of college athletes monetizing their name, image and likeness. “I’m not against players getting paid, I’ve said that numerous times,” he said at a fundraiser in Fort Wayne this week. But Woodson has also spent most of his adult life in…

In Iowa City in search of wins to clinch a spot in the Big Ten Tournament, Indiana led 13-2 after three innings. But Iowa would cross the plate 28 more times over the next five innings to completely flip the script and deliver a crushing 30-16 defeat to the Hoosiers. Indiana (25-28, 10-12 B1G) built its 3-2 lead with four in the first, five in the second and four in the third inning, as Iowa (31-17, 15-7 B1G) got two in the first. But a 10-run fourth for the Hawkeyes was followed by one run for the Hoosiers in the…

A second member of the McCullough family has departed the IU football program. Class of 2023 4-star defensive back Daeh McCullough announced on Thursday he has decommitted from Indiana.  He is the son of two-time former running backs coach Deland McCullough, who left IU following the 2021 season to take the same job at Notre Dame. “I would like to thank everyone at Indiana University for everything they have done for me and my family ever since I was a child,” Daeh McCullough wrote in a graphic posted on his Twitter page. “Second, I want to thank the staff for…
