Indiana defeated Wisconsin in double overtime on Tuesday evening at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington. The Hoosiers (14-14, 5-12) host Michigan State on Saturday. THREE KEYS TO THE GAME 1. Indiana overcame a lot of adversity to finally get a win. De’Ron Davis threw up right before the game. Juwan Morgan, Justin Smith and Al Durham all fouled out. Race Thompson played about as many minutes tonight as he has played all year. Indiana had lost 12 of 13 contests and gave up several opportunities to win this game. They hadn’t won at home since Illinois in early January. …
On paper, Wisconsin is not the cure for what ails Indiana. Not based on the recent history anyway. The Badgers come into Bloomington tonight having won five straight against the Hoosiers since January 2016 and 19 of the past 21 meetings dating back to 2008. When you combine that recent head-to-head futility with Indiana’s struggles this year it is difficult to imagine an IU victory. But these Hoosiers haven’t given up, and all indications are that it will be another close contest where the team that makes plays late will come out on top. With a favorable schedule to close…

He can do 30 minute sessions of non-contact work right now. You can follow us on…
Dictionary.com says this about Murphy’s Law: “A facetious proposition that if something can go wrong, it will.” Facetious? They had no idea about this Indiana basketball team. In a season that has felt like a never ending series of springing leaks, we are now to the point of fixing a leaky faucet in a burning building. Okay, no, we are past even that point now. From slow starts, to giving up big runs, to poor shooting, to a never ending rash of injuries, everything seemingly could and has gone wrong. The latest leak du jour to emerge during this incomprehensible…
For the sixth time in program history, the Indiana women’s swim and dive team won the Big Ten championship. Competing in their home pool at at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center, the Hoosiers were able to upset No. 2 ranked Michigan with a total score of 1,386.5 points.

Parratto was named the Diver of the Championships. Olympic champion King…
We’re not sure, but it’s just a hunch that you might be a bit more interested in looking to the future rather than trying to convince yourself that a magical run through the Big Ten Tournament is going to happen this year. Let’s just say that tournament has not been IU’s best friend in the past, and sitting here right now, there’s no rational thought that something is going to change in 2019. But the beautiful thing about sports is that there is always next year. And in major college basketball, roster turnover, and thus a potential change in fortunes,…
We are embarking on a critical year three for Indiana head coach Tom Allen, and the conditions are right for this program to take a step forward. Improving recruiting classes are being stacked. Impressive new coordinators are in place. Facilities are being upgraded yet again. It’s time to accelerate things. So how does Indiana next level this program from consecutive 5-7 seasons? In 2018, the buzz word around the strength and conditioning program for Indiana football was speed. For 2019, just being fast won’t be good enough. Everybody is fast in the Big Ten. Just clocking in at 20 miles…
It was comical to read and listen to all of the faux outrage this past week when the Indiana University student section chanted profanity at a Purdue basketball player. Who knew that thousands of drunk college kids at a sporting event might lose their cool from time to time? Oh the humanity! Was it a slow news week? Or perhaps some of the reporters hadn’t been around long enough to know first hand what a real spectacle looks like. While certainly none of those derisive students on Tuesday night were there to see it, perhaps they were channeling a much…
Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse. In a game that it felt like Indiana just might find a way to win, along comes all 6-foot-0, 180 pounds of Iowa’s Jordan Bohannon. Again. With three minutes remaining in regulation the Hawkeye guard had three points. In what seemed like the blink of an eye he ended the game with 17 points including four late three-pointers to break Hoosier hearts yet again. It wasn’t as if the Hoosiers forget about Bohannon. He just stepped up and found ways to give himself room and knock down closely guarded shots. But that…
