For two years in a row, a ligament injury derailed a debut season for Romeo Langford. In his lone season at IU, a torn thumb ligament on his shooting hand hindered Langford for months. Now as a rookie for the Boston Celtics, another torn ligament ended his season. “Romeo Langford this morning underwent successful surgery to repair the scapholunate ligament in his right wrist, the Celtics said in a release. “He will miss the remainder of the 2019-20 NBA season. Further updates will be provided as appropriate.” The release did not indicate how long the rehab process will take. Langford…
With Raheem Mostert hobbled, a big opportunity opened up for Tevin Coleman. It didn’t last long. The former IU star suffered a knee injury on Sunday in New York soon after Mostert, and now Coleman will be on the shelf for a while. According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the 49ers running back will miss multiple weeks with a knee injury. “49ers’ RB Tevin Coleman is expected to miss “multiple weeks” with the knee injury he suffered Sunday,” a source told Schefter. It was not clear when during Sunday’s game Coleman suffered the injury. Coleman has carried the ball 18…
September 22, 1945 — Ann Arbor, Michigan The challenge to open the 1945 season could not have been much greater. Indiana knew it had something special going into the season, but an immediate tall task stood in their way. The Michigan Wolverines — on the road. The Hoosiers traveled to Ann Arbor knowing they could slay Michigan. They did it a year earlier by a convincing 20-0 margin. That was only the third win by IU over Michigan since 1900, and the first Wolverine Big Ten loss since 1942. Perhaps Bo McMillin’s Hoosiers caught Michigan off guard in 1944? Maybe. …

Indiana head coach Archie Miller doesn’t offer a lot of scholarships. But he isn’t afraid to be early when he sees a player he likes. That is the story with Frederick, Md. based guard Masai Troutman. Aided by their new assistant coach’s relationships in the Washington D.C. metro area, IU got involved with Troutman in August. “I first got on the phone with Coach (Kenya) Hunter, Troutman said on The Daily Hoosier sponsored Hoosier Experience Podcast. Indiana hired Hunter in August from UConn. The long time college basketball assistant spent several years at Georgetown and still has deep ties to…
Make no mistake, Indiana drew a tough slate when the Big Ten released its updated 2020 schedule on Saturday morning. Indiana got no favors from the league, and it never does playing in the Big Ten East. The Hoosiers are the only team in the Big Ten that has to face all four traditional powerhouse programs Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin and Michigan. But don’t go full Nebraska mode and throw a temper tantrum about the undeniably challenging eight game gauntlet. This might be the IU team best equipped to take on the tall task in more than 25 years. …
