While Indiana fans wonder about the program’s NCAA Tournament chances, their place in the Big Ten Tournament is set. In total, 128 tournament scenarios remain according to projections by Michigan State associate AD Kevin Pagua, but the Hoosiers are the No. 9 seed in every one of them. That means they will play the first game on Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on March 10. Indiana’s opponent can be either Michigan State or Michigan according to the scenarios, with the Wolverines currently the more likely foe. IU lost their lone meeting with both teams this season. If Indiana were to advance…
Some of the cast members have changed, but in so many ways, the song remains the same. A strong, promising start against suspect competition, followed by a February free fall in the Big Ten. In many ways that was the story of the Archie Miller era at Indiana, and to this point the Mike Woodson era has followed the same script. Miller was 67-58 (.536) overall at Indiana, including a 34-14 (.701) mark in non-conference games, and a 33-44 (.429) result in Big Ten contests. Woodson by comparison is 18-11 (.621) overall, with a 9-1 (.900) non-conference record and a…

One of Indiana’s more promising talents in its front seven is no longer with the team. Outside linebacker/defensive end Jaren Handy has been dismissed from the IU football team head coach Tom Allen said on Thursday during a Zoom press conference. Allen said Handy faced a series of disciplinary issues and was suspended multiple times prior to being dismissed. “Just a series of just disciplinary issues that we had to deal with, and dealt with those, and systematically had some suspensions involved there prior to this that led up to it,” Allen said. … “I’d say it was more of…
Indiana lost what was supposed to be its final home game of the 2021-22 season. And now it probably won’t be the final home game. Like a broken record, IU led at halftime and came up empty down the stretch. Indiana led 32-22 before Rutgers hit a 3-pointer at the first half buzzer — an ominous sign for what was to come. The Hoosiers led 37-28 with 17:48 before the Scarlet Knights responded with a 10-0 run to take the lead. Indiana was back up 47-40 in a yo-yo affair, and up 52-45 with 9:08 left. But Rutgers would close…

The turnover continues on the IU coaching staff. And this latest move is both surprising and late. As first reported by Brandon Marcello of 247Sports, wide receivers coach Grant Heard is leaving Indiana for the same position at Central Florida. IU head coach Tom Allen confirmed the news on Thursday. “I would like to thank Grant Heard for his time here and appreciate all he’s given to our football program and wish him well,” Allen said.

Indiana will have one of its top class of 2023 targets on hand when the Hoosiers face Rutgers on Wednesday night in Bloomington. 6-foot-7 forward Coen Carr arrived at IU yesterday for an official visit. A Hampton, Ga. product, Carr attends Legacy Early College prep school in South Carolina. In 11 games on the NIBC circuit playing against top national competition, Carr averaged 15.5 points while shooting 58.2 percent from the field.
