Indiana jumped on Illinois from the opening tip and surged to a 28-8 first quarter lead. Things never improved for the Fighting Illini. Led by Ali Patberg’s 26 points on four 3-pointers, No. 7 IU (17-3, 9-1) cruised to a 93-61 rout in Champaign. “Our kids came out and I thought they looked really comfortable, got into some easy flow early, early easy flow for us offensively,” head coach Teri Moren said. “Saw a lot of those shots go down for us whether they were attacks at the rim, whether they were kickout 3’s. I don’t want to pick one…

The actions Mike Woodson took on Tuesday when he suspended five players had to feel very familiar to the first-year IU basketball head coach. Nearly 44 years ago, it was Woodson himself who was right in the middle of a mass suspension of Indiana players.

Reports at the time indicated widespread marijuana use was central to the turmoil inside the program just two-and-a-half years removed from an undefeated NCAA championship season.…

There are seven former Indiana basketball players currently with Division One programs around the country. Take a look at how each of them are performing at their new schools. Al Durham, Jr. After four seasons in Bloomington, Durham decided to play his fifth and final season of college basketball at Providence.  So far that is a decision that has turned out fairly well, although the results have been mixed. Durham is averaging career highs in minutes (35.6), points (13.3) and assists (3.2) per game, but he has been highly inefficient, making just 33.6 percent of his field goal attempts, easily…
