Since what seems like forever the state of Indiana has produced enough local talent to provide the IU basketball program a solid foundation to build its roster from. In fact, the last two head coaches prior to Mike Woodson both used the phrase “inside-out” at their introductory press conferences to describe their seemingly logical Indiana first recruiting strategies. Ultimately, inside-out turned, well, inside-out, as Tom Crean and Archie Miller lost their ways to varying degrees landing kids from the Hoosier State. Each coach built early momentum keeping the local talent home, but then Crean’s relationships with key local folks deteriorated,…

Michigan State had IU right where it wanted them, down a point with the ball in the hands of their All-American point guard for their final possession. Indiana freshman Rob Phinisee fought through a high ball screen and then found himself isolated one-on-one with Cassius Winston as the Spartans’ star drove right from the top of the key. With a mesmerizing display of lateral quickness, Phinisee directed Winston to the corner, and forced a tightly contested 15-foot step-back baseline jump shot that fell harmlessly off the rim and secured a 63-62 Indiana upset of No. 5 Michigan State in 2019.…
