We adapted this story that was published just prior to Purdue’s visit to Indiana in 2018. Unfortunately, it is still all too relevant in 2019. Whether it is the national rankings, KenPom, the NET or just common sense, all signs point in the same direction — Purdue is better than Indiana this year. Although it didn’t look that way two months ago, sitting here today, there is just no way around it. And a Purdue win in West Lafayette in January erased all doubt. But being better doesn’t always mean that you are more talented. And being more talented doesn’t…

It has been a long three months for Indiana redshirt freshman Race Thompson. A lot longer than that, really. After suffering a serious concussion in practice in November, the Hoosier forward has had to watch from the sidelines as his team has gone through the highs and lows of this crazy 2018-19 season. The Minnesota native said that Saturday’s game against the Gophers wasn’t circled on the calendar as a contest he was targeting for a return. No, it sounds like Thompson has had a fire burning that at times appears to be sorely lacking from this IU team. The…
Things appear to have reached a tipping point in Bloomington. Whether or not it translates to results on the floor remains to be seen, and at the time seems highly unlikely. But it is clear that Indiana head coach Archie Miller has seen enough. After the game the second year leader of this floundering IU program said in no uncertain terms that this team had to recreate itself, make drastic changes, and find someone else that can help. The trouble is, this was that game. Indiana inserted two new starters on Saturday in De’Ron Davis and Devonte Green. Both players…

After watching his team lose their tenth game in eleven tries, Indiana University head basketball coach Archie Miller has apparently seen enough. A recurring theme throughout this miserable six week stretch for Indiana has been an overall lack of tenacity and resilience up and down the Hoosier roster. It appears to have come to a head in Minneapolis on Saturday. In his post game interview after a 84-63 loss to Minnesota, Miller didn’t hold back on his frustration with this Hoosier team. “For us, we didn’t play with the urgency, toughness, and fight that we need on the road this…
Indiana lost to Minnesota on Saturday afternoon 84-63 in Minneapolis. It was their 10th loss in 11 games. The Hoosiers (13-12, 4-10) will host Purdue on Tuesday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Stay tuned for The Report Card for a complete summary including post-game interviews and highlights. THREE KEYS TO THE GAME 1. The banks were open in Minneapolis. It started as sick joke, with Gopher center Daniel Oturu hitting his first career three pointer and then consecutive banked three-pointers by Minnesota. Then it got worse, as the Gophers got hot from long range with good shots. Minnesota came…
It appears we are in the home stretch of the recruitment of class of 2019 five-star Keion Brooks, Jr. While we are long past when many believed a commitment would be announced, the 6-foot-9 wing is taking what is apparently one last look at his primary options. News broke early Friday evening that Brooks, Jr. would be attending Saturday’s high profile contest between Kentucky and Tennessee in Lexington. https://twitter.com/ChrisFisher247/status/1096546824809263104 Later in the evening it broke that Brooks, Jr. would also be attending Sunday’s Ohio State at Michigan State contest. https://twitter.com/SeanScherer247/status/1096589697483186176 Brooks, Jr. is also reportedly considering North Carolina. We are…
Stop us if you have heard this one before. Indiana just needs to get a win. Trouble is, so does Minnesota. While Indiana has lost 9 of 10, the Gophers have lost 7 of 11. Neither team can afford another loss at this time of year — but someone will be walking off the Williams Arena floor on Saturday afternoon with just that. IU is still firmly in the NCAA Tournament hunt, and a win over Minnesota would provide another quality win to further bolster that resume. But it won’t be easy. The Gophers have lost just twice all year…
