With his team trailing 10-0 to FCS foe Idaho, Shaun Shivers took the handoff on IU’s first offensive play of the second half, saw an opening to his left, and turned on the jets. Then the first defender he encountered, 11 yards past the line of scrimmage, felt Shivers’ rage. The fifth-year senior back lowered his left shoulder and blasted through Vandals safety Tommy McCormick, who went along for the ride for about four yards before falling helplessly to the turf. By the time Idaho got Shivers down 31 yards later, the tone had been set for the second half. …

September 10, 2000 was a day that will live in infamy in the lore of IU basketball. On this day twenty-two years ago, Robert Montgomery Knight, the most iconic individual ever associated with the program, was fired. Knight was the Indiana basketball coach from 1971 to 2000 with a career record of 661-240 while at IU. He coached teams that won 11 Big Ten Championships, a Big Ten record, and NCAA championships in 1976, 1981, and 1987. He was inducted into the IU hall of fame in 2009. Knight publicly returned to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in February, 2020 at…
Indiana has a chance to open the season 2-0 on Saturday evening when it hosts Idaho for the second straight season. The Hoosiers will be looking to avoid a let down after an emotional 23-20 season opening win a week ago, and they’ll get an FCS Vandals squad that turned some heads by nearly pulling off an upset of Washington State. We know much more about these 2022 Hoosiers going into week two, including the composure of starting quarterback Connor Bazelak, new offensive coordinator Walt Bell’s up-tempo offense, and the return of an aggressive ball-hawking defense as Tom Allen took…

Indiana continues to make it abundantly clear — irrespective of class, 2025 point guard Jalen Haralson is a top priority. Mike Woodson and all three of his assistants — Kenya Hunter, Yasir Rosemond and Brian Walsh — were at a 6:30 a.m. workout for Haralson on Friday, the first day coaches were allowed to hit the road and watch prospects during the fall recruiting period. Fishers head coach Garrett Winegar confirmed that plan to The Daily Hoosier yesterday. The fall period is unique because, unlike the spring and summer when several prospects are playing in the same event, college staffs…

IU Athletics then released the full schedule at the conclusion of the BTN segment. The non-conference schedule was published earlier in the summer and features matchups at Xavier,…
Tom Allen was asked repeatedly during the offseason who was going to step into the void left by Micah McFadden as the heart-and-soul of his team’s defense. At 3 a.m. early Saturday morning, just hours removed from his team’s season opening win over Illinois, Allen sent a text to the player who arose as the unequivocal answer. But hours before that, Allen was on the field, staring down at the same player, senior linebacker Cam Jones, who was in considerable pain at the Indiana 30-yard line after his teammate, tackle Demarcus Elliot, inadvertently crashed into the back of his legs.…
