Although at one point the Hoosiers found themselves trailing by 30 points, there have been worse days in the history of the IU basketball program than Saturday at Wisconsin. Far worse. Back in 1994 head coach Bob Knight took an Indiana team that was right in the thick of the Big Ten race to Williams Arena to face Minnesota.  Indiana had defeated the Golden Gophers by 12 points a month earlier in Bloomington, and No. 12 IU arrived confident in Minneapolis for the rematch. What happened that day at Minnesota was almost inexplicable.  The perfect storm.  106-56, Golden Gophers. How…

Miller could not have been thrilled with what he found out about his team in Madison.  Perhaps most troubling, what became apparent to him during the course of the game was something that has seemingly plagued all of his IU teams during his nearly three year tenure in Bloomington. “The thing I took away most importantly is where we…

Their fingerprints were still fresh on the Old Oaken Bucket in frigid West Lafayette. But when I asked Florida natives Nick Westbrook and Tiawan Mullen about the idea of returning home for a bowl game outside the visiting locker rooms at Purdue, their enthusiasm for the idea could not have been more clear. Maybe it was the thought of escaping the weather?  While understandable after spending four hours in the rain and cold, a trip back home to play in front of friends and family means a little more. “It would be very special.  I would be grateful for it,”…
