Through three Big Ten games, Indiana’s offensive profile looks a bit like the IU teams of the last four years. And not much like the offense head coach Mike Woodson described when he took the job in the spring. The Hoosiers are doing a better job of taking care of the ball in league games, but that comes at the cost of a pace slower than what Woodson has in mind.  For the most part in the Big Ten, teams are content to focus on their defensive scheme and eliminate transition opportunities rather than gamble to create turnovers. The 4-out,…

As a player, Micah Shrewsberry was a three-year starting guard and team tri-captain at Hanover College in southern Indiana along the Ohio River. He led the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference in free throw shooting (.833) and assists (4.4) in 1998-99. But make no mistake, the Indianapolis Cathedral High School graduate would have preferred to play up the road, about 80 miles to the northwest, to be precise. An Indiana basketball kid during the Bob Knight era, he had the same dream as thousands of other boys of that generation. “I grew up idolizing Coach Knight in terms of his teams…

Indiana football radio analyst Buck Suhr announced his retirement on Monday afternoon, IU Athletics announced in a release. His announcement marks the end of a long affiliation with the IU football team. Suhr spent 17 years in the broadcast booth after 18 seasons as a coach and administrator within the program. “I am thankful for the friendship and the opportunity to work with the absolute best in the business, Don Fischer,” Suhr said in the release. “To say working with Don, Joe Smith, and the rest of the crew has been enjoyable is a huge understatement. It was a tremendous…

The honeymoon phase of the Mike Woodson era came to an abrupt end on Sunday. It’s been said that everything would be sunshine and lollipops for the first-year head coach until he started losing.  Woodson is now three losses deep into his tenure, and this one starts to raise questions — not about the entire state of the program — but certainly about what we have here with the 2021-22 edition of IU basketball. Let’s take a deeper look at how the Hoosiers lost 61-58 to the Nittany Lions with another edition of The Report Card. IU (10-3, 1-2) will…

They gave it away in regulation, but the IU women got it done in overtime to secure their first-ever win over Maryland. The No. 8 Hoosiers had a 60-51 lead with 3:05 left in the fourth quarter, but Maryland closed regulation on a 10-1 run to force the extra session.

It’s no secret. If the IU women’s basketball program wants to secure their first Big Ten title since 1983, they’ll probably need to do something they’ve never done — beat Maryland. Winning the Big Ten is something the Terrapins have done plenty. Although they just joined the Big Ten in 2014, already Maryland has won the league’s regular season crown six times.  Over that span Indiana has dropped 11 straight in the series. IU’s latest opportunity to take down the Big Ten’s gold standard comes in the form of a top-10 matchup on Sunday afternoon at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall…
