Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo is approaching the Big Ten record for overall wins by a league coach with at least 10 years in the conference. Izzo has a career record of 661-263 (.715) and needs two more wins to become the all-time leader. The man he will pass is former Indiana coach Bob Knight, who won 662 games in 29 years in Bloomington (662-240, .734). Izzo has never been short on praise for Knight, and the respect runs both ways. The Michigan State head coach has long been a family friend of the Knights. “It’s humbling just being…

The February funk continues. IU lost its fifth game in a row, 80-69 to Ohio State in overtime on Monday evening. Indiana appeared to be well on its way to getting blown out on the road in Columbus, trailing by 10 with 12:06 left in the game. But seemingly from nowhere IU went on an 18-4 run to claim a 4-point lead, an advantage they held with just under a minute left in regulation before Ohio State scored four unanswered to force overtime. After a back-and-forth start to the extra session, OSU closed the game on a 10-0 run. Let’s…
Indiana led by as many as 12 but let the lead slip away in the second half as it came up short, 88-82, at Iowa on Monday night. A 12-0 run midway through the second quarter gave Indiana its largest lead of the game as guard Nicole Cardaño-Hilary scored with 2:34 to go before the half. Iowa came within single digits with six seconds remaining, but it was just enough time for Grace Berger to get the inbound pass and drive to the rim as Indiana took a 52-41 lead at the break. Iowa shot 69.2 percent in the fourth…

Indiana will be more shorthanded than expected at guard in Columbus on Monday night. In addition to guard Rob Phinisee being out with an injury, Trey Galloway (lower body injury) and Khristian Lander (reaggravation of sore leg) will be unavailable tonight against Ohio State according to an IU release. Galloway could be seen walking without a limp or any kind of boot in the pre-game. Head coach Mike Woodson hinted Indiana might be without Lander during a Saturday media availability, and the Hoosiers have been without Phinisee since January. The news about Galloway is new, however. The 6-foot-5 sophomore missed…
Selection Sunday is just under three weeks away, and with IU basketball in the mix The Daily Hoosier will check in each week to see where they stand in the eyes of the bracketologists.

As it stands on Saturday, Feb. 19 at Bracket Matrix, Indiana is in the field as a No. 11 seed. While a couple days old, this still directionally reflects where IU stands since they didn’t play over the weekend. That reflects a one seed drop after a…

Coaching transitions can often lead to depleted rosters, but in large part due to his own salvage efforts, Mike Woodson was dealt a pretty good first year hand at Indiana. On paper most believed coming into the season IU had an NCAA Tournament caliber roster at the least. Woodson has also been for the most part fortunate from an injury standpoint. Yes, Trey Galloway and Rob Phinisee have both missed significant time, and they are key pieces to the puzzle, but this 2021-22 Indiana team has not seen the wave of injuries that has ravaged other recent IU teams. But…
