The Hoosiers improve to 8-2 on the season and earn a win that will provide a major resume boost for the NCAA tournament.  Indiana returns to action on Saturday against Butler in Indianapolis. THREE KEYS TO THE GAME 1.  Langford earns it.  Louisville committed 22 fouls on the day.  Romeo Langford was the recipient of 10 of them.  Nothing came easy for…

The quest for a ninth national title for the IU men’s soccer program will carry into 2019. Indiana had defeated Maryland during the regular season and took down the Terrapins in the Big Ten tournament championship game on penalty kicks. On the game’s biggest stage at the College Cup in Santa Barbara, California, however, it was Maryland that made the big plays.  The Terrapins won by a final score of 2-0. Maryland scored a first half goal in the 37th minute off a corner kick that IU was unable to clear. https://twitter.com/NCAASoccer/status/1071257636320894976 After the Terrapin goal, Indiana increased its attack…

There’s a big one on tap in Bloomington this weekend as the Louisville Cardinals come to town.  Louisville has moved on from Rick Pitino and David Padgett over the last year and hired new head coach Chris Mack.  The former Xavier leader has the Cardinals at 6-2 and playing better than many expected in his first year. Mack and Louisville leading scorer Jordan Nwora met with the media on Friday to discuss Indiana. Both teams are unranked, but both are close to the top 25.  The winner has a good chance of being ranked on Monday. Other game coverage: How…

It’s a border war on Saturday afternoon in Bloomington.  With it being only the 20th ever meeting between Louisville and Indiana, it would be difficult to call this a rivalry game.  But maybe it should be? The schools are only a two-hour drive apart, compete for the same talent, and have geographically overlapping fan bases.  One thing that most Indiana and Louisville fans would agree on is that this is a game that should be on the schedule every year.  Instead, it is Louisville’s first trip to Bloomington since 2002. This is the final game of a scheduled three game…

Football programs aren’t transformed overnight. We know what you are thinking.  And, no, with back to back 6-6 seasons, Purdue’s Jeff Brohm hasn’t transformed anything.  Not yet anyway.  He’s just been better than IU. The only difference between Brohm and IU head coach Tom Allen has been a couple seven point games.  Well, that and several million a year.  But hey, you take a million per win if someone is willing to pay for it, right? In all seriousness, of course Brohm is a good coach, but the reason he said he came back to Purdue is to finish what…

Much was made of the success of Indiana’s in-state recruiting efforts when Greenwood, Indiana native and class of 2019 five-star Trayce Jackson-Davis signed with the Hoosiers last week. But you don’t have to look forward to next season to see the fruits of Archie Miller’s recruiting efforts within Indiana. You can just look at IU’s 2-0 start in the Big Ten, where two different native Hoosier freshmen took those two games over down the stretch to lead Indiana to victory. First it was Romeo Langford against Northwestern on Saturday.  Most IU fans expected some first year fireworks from the five-star…

As has been the case the last eight times Indiana and Penn State have met, it was a close one at University Park.  Neither team has won by more than eight points in the last eight meetings.  While both teams looked like they might run away with it, in the end the game followed the script, with IU pulling out a nerve wracking win. Indiana moved to 7-2 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten with a 64-62 win over Penn State on Tuesday night.  In the process, the Hoosiers picked up their first road win in three tries on…
