Take a look back at what IU did well and what went wrong in their 69-67 overtime loss to Florida State on Wednesday night. Indiana’s offense is a work-in-a-process, but the Hoosiers were often able to take advantage of switching by FSU to create mismatches both on the perimeter and in the paint. IU’s spacing is improved this year, but as you will see, the Hoosiers are still working out the details to truly open things up in the half court. It is a bit of a broken record, but with better execution and shot-making, this 2020-21 offense has a…
“Earmuffs and blinders” is a common mantra heard from IU head football coach Tom Allen as he implores his team to ignore outside noise and distractions and stay focused on the task at hand.

And some of his most pointed remarks were directed at the College Football Playoff committee and their decision to leave Indiana ranked No. 12 after their road win over at the time No.…

It was the Big Ten’s worst nightmare when it announced the new nine-week schedule in September. An annoying upstart like Indiana lands a straight-flush on the flop, after its games against Penn State, Ohio State and Wisconsin are canceled due to COVID-19. Awash in good fortune, the lucky Hoosiers sit alone atop the Big Ten East with a 5-0 mark after the league’s financial darling, the Buckeyes, stumbled while enduring their full and unfair eight-game gauntlet. The solution was simple. Make sure Indiana, and all the other bottom-feeders that should simply be grateful to play in the Big Ten, can’t…
They had their chances. IU and Florida State played hard on both ends and put together a highly entertaining game on Wednesday night in Tallahassee.

Indiana head coach Archie Miller has been consistent since before the season started. Rebounding is a big area of concern. For a while on Wednesday night at Florida State, it looked like the concern had been addressed. With under a minute to go in regulation, Indiana held a 42-31 rebounding edge over the Seminoles. Less than six minutes later, at the end of overtime, the rebounding battle was deadlocked at 44.
