Noah Vonleh’s NBA adventure abruptly changed course once again this week. The one-and-done former IU star was traded to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday as part of a four-team deal including the Timberwolves, Hawks and Rockets. Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reported the news. Robert Covington will head to Houston and Clint Capela will go to Atlanta as the headliners of the trade, with at least nine other players and draft picks involved as well. In a reserve role, Vonleh averaged 4.1 points and 4.0 rebounds over 12.0 minutes with the Timberwolves in 29 games. He had not seen any…

It has been the story of the Archie Miller era at Indiana in many respects. Which player or players are the leaders of this program? We wrote about the apparent lack of true floor leadership just months into Miller’s first season, and to all appearances, not much has changed in the last two years. Someone else that has been talking about it is a person who has seen this Indiana basketball program up close and personal for more than 40 years. The voice of IU basketball Don Fischer knows what attributes have led to the great Indiana basketball teams. And…
No. 5 ranked Cathedral and Culver Academies played an overtime classic on Saturday night. Below is the full game, and a chance to watch a future IU player along with a class of 2022 recruiting target. Indiana class of 2020 signee Trey Galloway (No. 32) shined with 27 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. Galloway secured a place in Culver Basketball history, tying the school’s all-time scoring record with 1,431 career points. For Cathedral, No. 12 point guard Tayshawn Comer is an IU sophomore recruiting target, and fellow sophomore Pete Moe (No. 30) is an intriguing young talent.…
The Barn Burner Trophy is staying with Indiana. The Hoosiers led wire-to-wire in West Lafayette as IU completed the season sweep of its home-and-home series with in-state rival Purdue. Indiana led by as many as 15 points in the third quarter before Purdue mounted a rally to pull within six points entering the fourth. But Indiana had the answers in enemy territory and reclaimed a comfortable lead down the stretch to pull out a 66-54 win. IU had three scorers in double figures. Redshirt junior guard Ali Patberg flirted with a triple double finishing with 17 points, nine rebounds and…

Okay, let’s get the cliche out of the way first. No, of course technically Indiana (15-7, 5-6) does not have to beat Purdue on Saturday to make the NCAA Tournament. And let’s be real here, at this point in the season, knowing what we know about this IU team, the NCAA Tournament is the only real goal left. Contention for a top four spot in the Big Ten standings, a run in the Big Ten Tournament, advancing to the Sweet 16 — all of that seems silly to be talking about at this point. Unless head coach Archie Miller is…
Nine former IU basketball stars are playing at the highest level of the game during the 2019-20 season. We will be monitoring their seasons with monthly updates. Below we summarize their year to date performance with NBA stats through January and provide a brief update on each player. OG Anunoby – Toronto With Kawhi Leonard gone, Anunoby has assumed a bigger role in Toronto, and so far he is delivering with career highs nearly across the board.

Take a look back at IU’s loss to Ohio State with another edition of Film Study. The analysis focuses on Indiana’s high ball screen offense, and specifically the positioning and movement of the three players not involved in the ball screen. It’s an interesting take on why the Hoosiers might be struggling in the half court. This video was produced by Tony Adragna and shared with his permission.

Indiana 2020 signees Trey Galloway and Anthony Leal both had marquee matchups on Saturday. And both future Hoosiers delivered in dramatic wins for Culver Academies and Bloomington South. Culver was taken to overtime by No. 5 Cathedral on its home floor before emerging with a 69-58 victory after the extra session. Galloway delivered 27 points including an electrifying highlight reel play that showed off the 6-foot-4 guard’s versatile talents and athleticism. You can watch highlights from the game including that play as well as Galloway’s post-game comments here. https://youtu.be/nGMmfrZ8hzc Culver is now 12-4 on the season. Meanwhile in Sellersburg, Ind.,…
A season in crisis? That might be overstating where things stand, but now on their first three game losing streak of the season, Indiana is clearly a team heading in the wrong direction at the wrong time. After losing 12 out of 13 during the 2018-19 season, it is impossible to not wonder if things are headed down the same path now. This is a different team and a different season, but the attributes that gave the Hoosiers an identity early on seem to be fading, and the issues that IU struggled to escape last year seem to be resurfacing.…
