Reality check, served. My how things have changed over the course of just a few days. From unknown, to darling, to disaster, Indiana basketball traveled the complete spectrum this week, and ended up a complete enigma. Junior guard Al Durham got hit in the mouth in the opening minutes in Madison on Saturday as he ran into a screen set by Wisconsin’s Nate Reuvers. The Badgers continued to deliver figurative shots to the mouth for two long hours, eventually knocking out IU 84-64 in a game that wasn’t even that close. Indiana (8-1, 0-1) must now get back up, dust…

Wisconsin opened the doors to the Kohl Center on January 17, 1998. Just eight days later Indiana waltzed in and beat the Badgers 69-59. That 1998 win extended IU’s series lead over Wisconsin to 87-47, and Hoosier fans likely thought at the time that their domination of Wisconsin would continue on despite the new 17,000 seat arena in Madison. Perhaps handing Wisconsin their first ever loss in the arena started the Kohl Kurse? Since then the series script has been flipped. Wisconsin owns a commanding 27-10 series advantage after that 1998 IU win at the Kohl Center. Much of this…
One spot where Indiana is going to lose some experienced leadership after the 2019 season is on the interior of its offensive line. They are bringing in a veteran to help shore things up. Former Stanford guard Dylan Powell announced via Twitter that he is transferring to Indiana to pursue his MBA and join the football team. https://twitter.com/Dylan_Powell74/status/1203107610309869570?s=20 According to Taylor Lehman of Rivals, Powell has two years of eligibility remaining. The Missouri native was slated to be a starting guard at Stanford for the 2019 season, but a preseason injury cost Powell the entire season. Powell will arrive at…

For the third straight season, and seemingly from here on out, Big Ten basketball is starting in December. Indiana faces the ominous task on Saturday of opening conference play at a place where they haven’t won in more than 20 years — Wisconsin. With league play set to get underway, we take a quick look at each team, and then set out our predicted order of finish for the 2019-20 conference standings. ILLINOIS (6-2 / No. 45 KenPom) Top producers: Kofi Cockburn (Fr., 16.2 ppg, 11.2 rpg), Ayo Dosunmu (15.8 ppg, 3.5 apg), Andres Feliz (14.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 4.3…
As we wrote yesterday, IU football head coach Tom Allen finished the season both with an 8-4 record, and as the lowest paid coach in the Big Ten. That changed today as Indiana announced a new seven year contract with Allen, that will pay the Hoosier head coach average annual compensation of $3.9 million per year. Based on the announced terms, the deal still leaves Allen near the bottom of Big Ten coaches on a per year basis but more than doubles the $1.805 annual haul under his old contract. As we wrote yesterday, the bottom line here is that…
As the 2019 NFL seasons hits the home stretch, the IU football is well represented in the league once again. In total, eight former Indiana University football players have registered at least one snap thus far during the 2019 NFL season and three more are with teams in some capacity. Below is a summary of the status and performance of each player through week 13 of the 2019 season. TEVIN COLEMAN, RB, SAN FRANCISCO 49ers Att – 120 Yards – 454 YPC – 3.8 TD – 6 Rec – 20 Rec Yards – 173 TD – 1 Notes: It has…
UPDATE: IU announced a new contract for Allen on Friday. In so many ways, Indiana football fans are in an unfamiliar position at this time of year. Legitimate talk about a ninth win? Come again? Waiting for bowl selection news and actually believing that Indiana could end up at an attractive destination? Um, okay. Oh, and watching the annual coaching carousel and hearing your coach named as a potential candidate rather than wondering if he is on the hot seat? Yep, that is happening too. The Florida State and Mississippi job openings are perhaps the most high profile positions that…
