Indiana and Pittsburgh will meet on Friday night with a trip to the national championship game on the line. Indiana has not suffered a loss in 11-straight matches, but in order to keep that streak alive in Cary, N.C., the Hoosiers will need to slow down an upstart Panthers squad. Pitt is coached by ACC Coach of the Year and former IU player Jay Vidovich. They will be playing in their first College Cup after running through their first three opponents in the 2020 NCAA Tournament by a cumulative score of 13-1, including a 3-0 victory over No. 8 Washington…

Updating the scholarship has become a full-time job in recent weeks. Here is the latest look at Indiana’s projected rosters over the next four seasons after today’s news that redshirt sophomore forward Jerome Hunter will not be back with the team. This latest development gives IU one opening to work with for the 2021-22 season, and it means the Hoosiers are no longer over capacity for the 2022-23 season.

Indiana University men’s basketball coach Mike Woodson has announced that redshirt sophomore wing Jerome Hunter will not return next season. “We appreciate everything that Jerome has done as a member of the program and wish him nothing but the best in the future,” said Woodson in a release by the school. Hailing from Pickerington, Ohio, Hunter arrived in Bloomington as part of the class of 2018. Prior to his freshman season he suffered a medical condition in his lower legs that required surgery and cost him the entire 2018-19 campaign. In two seasons at IU, Hunter averaged 4.9 points and…
Watch below as IU basketball legend Bob Knight is inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on May 13, 1991, thirty years ago today. Knight spent the majority of his speech recognizing everyone who makes successful coaching possible. “More than anything else, when a coach is honored, it is a team honor,” Knight said as he accepted his induction. “For all the people of all my teams, most of all the players, I’m very appreciative. This is their award, this is a team award.” Long time friend and fellow Hall of Fame coach Pete Newell introduced Knight. https://youtu.be/pBlvpvBU0MA Video…
Indiana continues to signal that their 2021-22 roster may not be finalized. And post depth continues to be an area of interest for the IU staff. 7-foot, 250 pound center Michael Durr had been planning to transfer from South Florida to Virginia Tech, but Durr tweeted Monday that he decided to reopen his recruitment. 247Sports national recruiting analyst Dushawn London reported on Twitter that Indiana has shown interest in Durr since he reopened his recruitment, along with Penn State, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, DePaul and others. In a story published at 247Sports, Durr told London that while he is…

Indiana has secured an official visit from one of the more coveted big men in the class of 2022. Kyle Filipowski’s high school coach Mike Mannix confirmed with The Daily Hoosier on Wednesday that he has an official visit with IU scheduled for mid-June. Josh Verlin of The City of Brotherly Love was the first to report last week that the 4-star top-60 forward was scheduling the visit in Bloomington. With Indiana’s recruitment of the 6-foot-10 Filipowski rapidly accelerating, we took the opportunity to ask Mannix about Filipowski the player and teammate. Mannix is Filipowski’s head coach at Wilbraham &…
Indiana has never had a 5-star recruit on its roster during the rankings era, but that might change this fall. And the man largely responsible for delivering some high end recruits to Indiana in recent weeks would be the reason why if it happens. Stephen Carr came to USC as the nation’s No. 3 running back in the 2017 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. A 5-star prospect out of Summit High School in Fontana, California, Carr played for then Trojans’ running backs coach Deland McCullough during his freshman campaign. According to a report by Keely Eure of 247Sports’ USC…
In many ways Khristian Lander has gone from a prized 5-star recruit to the forgotten man at Indiana. Or young man, if you prefer. After reclassifying to move up a year and join the IU program as a 17 year old last summer, Lander encountered the bumpy road that probably should have been easy to predict for someone his age, but that was nevertheless surprising because of the accolades he brought with him from Evansville. The 6-foot-2 Lander appeared in 26 games for Indiana, all off the bench. He averaged 2.1 points and 1.2 assists per game in 10.2 minutes…
