March 28, 1987 — New Orleans, Louisiana The largest crowd ever for a college basketball game saw a classic. And they also saw something that many did not expect. While most anticipated a contrast in styles between run-and-gun UNLV and methodical Indiana, the Hoosiers opted to join the Runnin’ Rebels in a track meet. To the thrill and surprise of the 65,959 fans at the Louisiana Superdome, IU tried to beat No. 1 ranked UNLV in a national semifinal matchup at their own game. According to Indiana head coach Bob Knight, it was the only chance the Hoosiers had against…
Former IU star Victor Oladipo sat down with former Michigan sharpshooter Duncan Robinson and Davis Reid on the Long Shot podcast. Oladipo goes in depth on his development as a young player, his college and NBA career, and battling back from injuries. Oladipo came to Indiana in 2010 without much fanfare. He was a 3-star recruit with a reputation for being a good athlete. Three years later he would leave as an All-American and an NBA lottery pick. Along the way Oladipo earned a reputation as a tireless worker, and the results showed it. For each of his three seasons…
The theme of veteran leaders in the defensive backfield carries over from the cornerbacks to the safety and husky positions in 2022. A pair of fifth-year safeties likely sit atop the depth chart in Bryant Fitzgerald and Devon Matthews. Fitzgerald spent much of the 2021 season at the hybrid safety-linebacker husky position, but he is back working as a free safety this spring. Noah Pierre, another fifth year player who has manned every position in the defensive backfield including most recently cornerback in 2021, is back at the husky spot. Behind the veterans are largely unproven but promising younger players…
When he was hired last March, Mike Woodson was asked about the importance of having former IU basketball players involved in the program. As someone who was hired because of his own status as a former player, it wasn’t surprising to learn Woodson placed a great deal of value on the concept of unification. “I will bring them all back and bridge this gap that’s so desperately needed,” Woodson said a year ago. “I’m going to try to tie it all together to make it all work, and we will all be one big family and win basketball games.” Woodson…
Whether it was offensive rebounds or turnovers, Indiana gave it away to UConn far too many times on Saturday afternoon in Bridgeport, Conn. And a 16-0 UConn start to the second half created a hill too tall to climb in the Round of 16 matchup. “You just can’t allow that to happen against a team like UConn,” IU head coach Teri Moren said after the game of UConn’s run coming out of halftime. “It’s very difficult to overcome a start (to the second half) like that. We just did some uncharacteristic things. We knew it, we were very disappointed with…
Indiana picked up a commitment from class of 2023 in-state tight end Sam West on Saturday afternoon. West plays quarterback for Greensburg High School but was being recruited at the Power Five level to play tight end. “I wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for the blessings God has granted me with including my ability, family, coaches, teammates, and all who have made a positive influence on me,” West said in his announcement. “Big thank you to all schools who reached out during the process and gave me an opportunity. Thank you to Coach (Kevin) Wright and Coach…
Indiana will face its stiffest test yet with a return trip to the Elite Eight on the line. The No. 3 seed Hoosiers are in Bridgeport, Conn. to face No. 2 UConn on Saturday in the regional semifinal. The tip is set for 2 p.m. Eastern on ESPN. The Hoosiers will face the 11-time national champions for the first time ever. “We have a tremendous amount of respect for Geno (Auriemma) and his staff and players,” IU head coach Teri Moren said on Friday. “They’ve (UConn) been the bar for women’s basketball for some time. … We know the task. …
Indiana University men’s basketball coach Mike Woodson announced on Friday afternoon Brian Walsh, the program’s team and recruiting coordinator, will be elevated to the position of assistant coach. Assistant coaches Kenya Hunter and Yasir Rosemond will assume new roles as associate head coaches. “I think it’s extremely important for our program that we continue to build on what we were able to accomplish this season and my first priority was to heighten the roles of Kenya and Yasir and allow Brian to broaden his responsibilities with an on-floor coaching role,” said Woodson in a release by IU Athletics. “I like…
Ball State men’s basketball has appointed a new head coach, and he’s back home again in Indiana. Director of athletics Beth Goetz announced the hiring of current UCLA assistant coach and Jasper, Ind. native Michael Lewis Friday. The former Indiana University standout will begin the job in Muncie once the Bruins have concluded their season. “Basketball in our state is personified in Michael Lewis,” Goetz said in a release by the school. “His outlook on the game, relationship building, recruiting network, pedigree and proactive approach to engagement with our stakeholders resides at a high level. Additionally, his program values and…
