The Hoosiers kept things close throughout and had the ball in their final possession with a chance to tie or take the lead.  Instead, IU fell 67-66 at Illinois. Indiana (18-11, 8-10) will host Minnesota on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.…

A major factor in the emergence of the Indiana football program is moving on for greener pastures according to multiple reports.

Ballou was in his third season as Indiana football’s director of athletic performance and was cited regularly by recruits as a key reason why they chose Indiana.

While the road has not been kind this season, Indiana can do itself a lot of favors when it plays its last true away game on Sunday afternoon at Illinois. The Hoosiers could give themselves some breathing room as it relates to the NCAA Tournament bubble, while also helping the cause of not finishing in the bottom four of the Big Ten and thereby avoiding the dreaded Wednesday game at the Big Ten Tournament. But IU is just 2-7 in true road contests, and the Hoosiers have looked dreadful at times away from Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.  Meanwhile, Illinois has…

With a father that has been a head basketball coach since the day he was born, Trey Galloway has a different appreciation for the game than most 18 year old high school seniors. The osmosis of being in the gym his entire life, first watching his dad coach and then playing for him has created a player with all of the intangibles that can be difficult for college coaches to develop. What does Galloway think he can bring to Archie Miller and Indiana next year? “Having that fire, wanting to win every possession, and also being ultra-competitive,” Galloway told The…

Indiana isn’t going to make this easy. After its worst shooting performance in six years and a seventh straight loss to Purdue, IU isn’t going to be finding a comfortable spot in the NCAA Tournament anytime soon. The Hoosiers could never get comfortable in a tough road venue on Thursday night.  And while they battled throughout, IU never gave itself a chance on the offensive end of the floor in a 57-49 loss at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette. Another challenging road contest awaits. Indiana (18-10, 8-9) will travel to Illinois on Sunday afternoon.  That game will tip at 2…
