The 2025 All-Big Ten teams won’t be announced until the week after Indiana’s game at Purdue, but we’re using the bye week to take the opportunity to assess which Hoosiers are worthy of consideration for league honors. Because IU’s offense is so explosive, field goal kicker Nico Radicic doesn’t get a lot of opportunities.  14 other Big Ten kickers have more attempts.  But he certainly comes through for the Hoosiers when his number is called. Radicic is a perfect 13 of 13 on field goals and 62 of 62 on extra points this season.  He is the only Big Ten…

On a night when the shots weren’t falling, IU basketball escaped on Sunday evening. Incarnate Word led 12-11 seven minutes into the game.  A 20-2 run in the middle of the first half is really what allowed Indiana to pull out the win.  The Hoosiers took a 31-14 lead with 5:36 left in the first.  The IU lead was 19 with 12:47 left in the game, but the Cardinals began chipping away and got within five points twice in the final two minutes.

Back on Oct. 11 Indiana ended Oregon’s 18-game home winning streak, and the dominoes have fallen since to give the Hoosiers yet another hard to imagine distinction. Missouri and Boise State both saw their own lengthy home winning streaks come to an end in the weeks that followed. And then on Saturday afternoon, Alabama lost 23-21 to Oklahoma at Bryant-Denny Stadium to snap their own 17-game run on their home turf. That leaves Indiana’s 15 straight wins at Memorial Stadium as the current longest run of consecutive home wins.  IU’s streak aligns with the Curt Cignetti era, as the Hoosiers…
