*Checks calendar* Yes, it is still November, but for the second year in a row and presumably from now on, Big Ten basketball is about to begin. Starting this weekend, teams will play two league games in early December before resuming pre-conference action. Teams will then pick things back up in late December on the conference’s more traditional schedule. With the benefit of three weeks of the season under our belts, it is time to predict the 2018-19 Big Ten conference basketball race. Predictions are of course more for entertainment than anything else — but one things seems clear. This…

The 2018 Indiana football season has come to an end, and nine Hoosiers have received recognition from the Big Ten for their performance on the field and sportsmanship. The players include four that will be back with the team next year. Adapted from an IU release — SECOND TEAM ALL BIG TEN Logan Justus Justus continues the Hoosiers run of all-conference kickers as Griffin Oakes earned Bakken-Andersen Kicker of the Year and first team accolades in 2015 and 2017, and Mitch Ewald collected second team laurels in 2013. One of 20 semifinalists for the Lou Groza Award, Justus finished the…
It was reality check time in Durham, North Carolina on Tuesday night, as Indiana walked into a buzz saw. The Hoosiers seemed to walk willingly into that buzz saw, with countless mistakes of their own doing that ultimately doomed them. Duke extended the lead into double figures less than seven minutes into the game, and really never looked back. A combination of IU turnovers, poor shooting, and a slow reacting defense made sure of that. On the positive side, IU is starting to get healthy again, with Zach McRoberts and Devonte Green returning to action after extended layoffs. Both will…
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski met with the media after Duke’s 90-69 win over Indiana on Tuesday night.

Indiana faced their toughest test of the season on Tuesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and they didn’t handle it well — to put it lightly. Duke got off to a fast start, and IU never had answers. Season high turnovers and a season low field goal percentage buried any hope of staying in the game or manufacturing a rally. If there was a bright side, it really had nothing to do with the game itself. The Hoosiers saw the return of two key veterans in Zach McRoberts and Devonte Green. Both players saw extensive action and should be in…
Since the Indiana basketball schedule was officially released back in August, a challenging stretch of five games in late November and early December jumped off the page. And now here we are, and the journey begins with what is by far the toughest of the five, and most likely the toughest of the entire regular season. Indiana goes back out on the road for the second time this season to face one of the better teams in the country in one of the better venues in the country. Oh, and they arguably have the best coach in the history of…
With an easier schedule and a depleted roster, to be honest, we really haven’t learned much about the 2018-19 Indiana Hoosiers just yet. That is about to change. Goodbye cupcake city. Next stop, Duke and their Diaper Dandies. Don’t worry, if you are not a fan, those references are not meant to hint that you are going to have to endure Dick Vitale for any of the upcoming big games. None that we know of, anyway. You will have to endure Jay Bilas back at his alma mater of Duke on Tuesday night, however. But that’s nothing like what Indiana…

Duke is ranked No. 3 in the latest AP poll, while the Hoosiers remain unranked.

The Indiana and Notre Dame men’s soccer programs met back in September, but the stakes will be much higher when they meet again in late November. The Hoosiers and Irish battled into overtime in South Bend more than two months ago before Justin Rennicks scored the match winner in the 93rd minute to give IU the hard fought victory. When they meet this Friday night at 7:00 pm. eastern in Bloomington, it will be about more than just a regular season victory and in-state pride. The College Cup is on the line. It will be a tall task for the…
