It is commonly said in sports that you can tell if the officials did a good job if you don’t really notice them over the course of a game. That has never been college basketball referee Ted Valentine. Nicknamed “TV Teddy” for his on the court antics that have often put Valentine at the center of attention during games, the 39 year official is loathed by the Indiana fan base. If you ask any IU fan over the age of 40 about Valentine, they will immediately mention the 1992 Final Four. Dreams were shattered. Hearts were broken. The integrity of…

After nearly 50 years as the radio voice of IU football and basketball, Don Fischer thought he had seen it all. That certainly includes a less than capacity crowd at Memorial Stadium for a time or two. Truth be told, for decades Fischer has seen the fans clear out during blowout wins and losses, retreating to their tailgate at halftime, never to be seen again. But calling one of the most dramatic wins in the history of the IU football program with almost no fans in the stands? That was different, even for the 74 year old veteran. “Knowing that…

Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack was the special guest at the end of the show. The Hoosiers moved to 2-0 after a solid 37-21 win over the Scarlet Knights last weekend.

Indiana sophomore Tiawan Mullen isn’t helping his own cause. In an effort to get Mullen more involved in the run defense and utilize his dynamic skills in a variety of ways, defensive coordinator Kane Wommack has been putting the sophomore cornerback at the husky position. Mullen is happy to play the hybrid linebacker-safety position in Indiana’s 4-2-5 scheme. But the name husky? Mullen won’t have any part of it. “He calls it the nickelback position, he will not call it the husky,” Wommack remarked at his regular media availability on Monday. Mullen’s story is slightly different. “They’re allowing me to…

Ken Pomeroy picked an interesting time to drop his initial rankings. The college basketball analytics website KenPom.com released its initial rankings for the 2020-21 season at midnight on Election Night. Once again, the site projects the Big Ten to be a gauntlet for Indiana. According to the preseason rankings, KenPom has 13 of the league’s 14 teams in the top-70 and 8 teams in the top-26. Indiana claims that 26th spot after finishing the 2019-20 season at No. 34. KenPom’s middle-of-the-pack league projection for Indiana is directionally consistent with where most preseason predictions have the Hoosiers. Consistent with prior seasons under…
