There were distinct moments in the first half of Indiana’s game against Seton Hall on Wednesday night when Hoosier fans likely first thought “Here we go again”, and then later “Hey, what’s this”. The here we go again moments were when Indiana fell behind 10-2 at the outset, and then 27-18 at just under the 7:00 mark. IU responded to both of those moments, perhaps to the surprise of Hoosier Nation, narrowing the early lead to 12-11, and then actually taking a momentary lead right before halftime. It was those moments where people just might have seen a glimmer of…

Think having the most prestigious program in the country and playing the most popular sport in the world means that the Indiana men’s soccer team is “Hoosiers” in name only? Think again. The roster is loaded with players that went to Indiana high schools. In case you needed one more reason to rally around the institution that is Indiana men’s soccer as it prepares to commence its quest for a 9th national title, take note of the following Hoosiers playing for the Hoosiers: 2 – Jordan Kleyn, Defender, Plainfield, IN (Avon High School) 6 – Jack Griffith, Midfielder/Defender, Danville, IN…
Despite only playing at Indiana for one season (and what an interesting season it was), Eric Gordon has made it clear from time to time that he is a strong supporter of Indiana basketball. Hoosier fans will always appreciate the 2007-08 season (has it really been 10 years!) for the brief moment that we felt like we had an elite program again. No one was more important to the success of that season than Eric Gordon. Who can ever forget the insanity that was the road game at Illinois, and his miraculous bank shot 3-pointer that forced the game into…
If Hoosier fans had a wish list for the 2017-18 season, one thing that would likely rank high on that list would be the health of Juwan Morgan and Collin Hartman. We documented Hartman’s rollercoaster ride, which has added a new twist already this season with a groin injury that has forced him to miss the first two games and possibly more. Morgan has battled the injury bug during his time at Indiana as well: Freshman year – A shoulder injury that flared up during several games and ultimately resulted in post-season surgery. Sophomore year – A foot injury on…
It’s that time of year when even the most casual Hoosier soccer fans start to pay attention to IU’s signature athletics program — the men’s soccer team. Collectively, Indiana University has 24 team NCAA titles. Eight of these titles belong to the men’s soccer program. The eight titles are the second most in NCAA history. St. Louis has 10, but it last won a title in 1973. Indiana has won all eight since then. It is the most prestigious men’s soccer program in the country, and this season has done nothing to diminish that standing. Meet the 2017 Hoosiers Led…
As you’ve likely heard by now, Indiana class of 2018 target Darius Garland has committed to play for the Vanderbilt Commodores. First and foremost, congratulations to Garland for choosing a great academic institution and a location that will allow his family to easily attend his games. By all accounts, Garland appears to be a good kid that we would have welcomed and cheered enthusiastically for in Bloomington. We wish him all the best in Nashville and his future endeavors. So where does that leave Indiana for its 2018 class? Thus far the Hoosiers have signed 4 players and have a…
Indiana opened its season with the program’s third worst home loss in the history of Assembly Hall. After that 90-69 loss to Indiana State the Hoosiers just needed a win. In a game against Howard, who is one of the lower rated teams in the country, Indiana did in fact get that win, 86-77. It wasn’t always pretty and this team has a long way to go, but this was, if nothing more, a step in the right direction. Overall – C+ The bottom line here is that Howard, at least on paper, is not a team that should be…
Indiana has seen its share of recruits that came in underrated and left as stars. Victor Oladipo, anyone? While we aren’t going to start making Oladipo comparisons, we will say that Al Durham, Jr. at least has the look of someone that was flying a bit under the radar. The final rankings for the class of 2017 for Durham, Jr. by 247Sports.com, ESPN.com, Rivals.com and Scout.com were as follows: 247Sports Three stars, No. 166 nationally ESPN Four stars, unranked in top 100 Rivals Three stars, unranked in top 150 Scout Three stars, unranked in top 100 Through 2 games the…
As you’ve probably heard by now, IU alum Joe Buck did an hour long interview with former IU coach Bob Knight on the Audience Network. You must be a Direct TV subscriber to watch the full interview. At the end we tell you how to watch the full interview for free. It is must see for any IU basketball fan, irrespective of your opinion of the legendary coach. Here are some of the highlights that we noted: First, we’ve heard various reports that Coach Knight was having health issues. Nothing was apparent in the interview. His mind seemed as quick…
