He didn’t start the game, but Cade Bunnell finished it. The senior second baseman entered Wednesday night’s rivalry matchup against Purdue in the bottom of the eighth inning as a pinch hitter.  Bunnell struck out in that plate appearance, but the second time around for Bunnell would go much better. In the bottom of the tenth the Wisconsin native sent a one out bases loaded single down the left field line to send everyone home. https://twitter.com/IndianaBase/status/1116185441781395458 Indiana (20-12) won its third game in a row as the Hoosiers defeated Purdue 7-6 in ten innings. Things got sideways quickly for IU…

It hasn’t reached a fever pitch by any stretch of the imagination, but they are out there.  You know the ones.  The crazies out on the margin. “Glass settled for Miller.” “Should have hired Alford.” Surely you’ve seen or heard the variations of the silliness.  Every fan base has them.  The opportunistic blowhards that howl at the first sign of trouble. These folks are in desperate need of some context. No, not excuses.  Context. Indiana basketball needs to be better.  On that, perhaps everyone can agree. And no, this isn’t about ignoring that immediate success can happen.  Coaches such as…

A lot will change between now and November.  First and foremost — roster reconstruction.  NBA decisions remain, transfers are on the move and class of 2019 recruits remain undecided.  Big Ten rosters will change a fair amount between now and the end of May. But if you want an early indicator on where things stand in the Big Ten for 2019-20 conference race, there is nothing more impartial than Vegas. The Caesars sports book released odds for winning the 2020 national championship this week.  We converted those odds into an early look at how the Big Ten standings are currently…

With just one game remaining in the 2018-19 college basketball season, today we begin to look forward to next year’s campaign. The 2019-20 Indiana men’s basketball season will begin in just seven short months.  While we don’t know all of the pieces to the schedule, much of it has already been determined due to a 20 game Big Ten schedule and other commitments. Head coach Archie Miller will be entering his third season at Indiana as he attempts to continue to advance the program.  IU went from no postseason in Miller’s first year to an appearance in the NIT in…

Indiana University head baseball coach Jeff Mercer is just like the rest of us in a lot of ways. He was born and raised in Indiana and indoctrinated at a young age on IU basketball. If you grew up in an IU family you either knew yourself or from your elders that former head coach Bob Knight was royalty. In some houses even right up there with God.  No really.  We’ll come back to that. So you can imagine how Mercer, 33, felt when he learned earlier in the week that Knight would be making an appearance at Bart Kaufman…

Tom Allen continues to convince Indiana kids to stay home. Fort Wayne, Ind. native Luke Wiginton has committed to play for Indiana.  The 6-foot-5, 275 pound offensive tackle from Bishop Dwenger High School is the second to commit to IU’s 2020 class.  Carmel, Ind.’s Ty Wise committed to Indiana last month. Wiginton is a 3-star rated recruit.  He is ranked as the 108th best offensive tackle in the country and the 12th best player in the state of Indiana according to the 247Sports Composite. Wiginton also held offers from power five programs such as Illinois, Purdue, West Virginia and Vanderbilt.…
