Here are the state of Indiana NCAA Division One men’s college basketball power rankings two months into the season. Let the debate begin. Current Indiana…

For the fifth time in program history, the IU women’s basketball team is ranked in the AP Top 25. The voters are giving the Hoosiers somewhat of a trial run, slotting them in at No. 25 this week. Now the challenge will be staying there. The Hoosier women’s program does not have a long history of being ranked in the AP Top 25, and when they’ve gotten there, they haven’t stayed long. IU was ranked for one week in 1993 and 2014 before dropping out the following week each time. The Hoosiers were ranked in the preseason poll in 2016…
Not on the road. Not against a team this good. No, the fun loving fall behind early and rally for a win Hoosier narrative fell flat on its face in Ann Arbor on Sunday afternoon. After trailing by five or more in each of their last eight wins, IU saw their seven-game winning streak snapped as they fell to 3-1 in the Big Ten as a result of a 74-63 loss to Michigan. The sold-out crowd at Crisler Center saw yet another game where the Hoosiers were short handed. Rob Phinisee missed his third straight game with a concussion, and…

A shorthanded Hoosier squad went on the road for the first time in a month and ran into a first half buzz saw. Hot early shooting by Michigan allowed the Wolverines to run out to a 32-13 lead, and Indiana spent the rest of the game playing catch up. Indiana suffered its first loss in Big Ten play. IU is now 12-3 overall, and 3-1 in the conference. The Hoosiers will return to action on Friday night at Maryland. THREE KEYS TO THE GAME 1. Falling behind early finally caught up with Indiana. We warned you. The trend was not…
The skeptics have been waiting. On Sunday afternoon, Indiana delivered. Despite a 13-1 start to the season, the IU women’s basketball team had yet to crack the top 25. Perhaps the voters were looking for a signature win. Michigan State came to Bloomington on Sunday as the No. 15 team in the country. They went home with a loss, while the Hoosiers got that noteworthy win it needed. The Hoosiers struggled out of the gate and fell behind 15-11 after the 1st quarter in front of 6,380 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. But a sustained defensive effort that limited the…
Michigan’s Crisler Arena has not always been a friendly environment for the Indiana University men’s basketball team, but the Hoosiers have certainly had their share of memorable moments against the Wolverines in the building.

Indiana goes back out on the road for the first time since a December 4th visit to Penn State. Sunday’s trip to Michigan will be the first of six road games over the next eight as the Hoosiers face a brutal stretch that will go a long way in deciding the fate of this 2018-19 season. This will be IU’s biggest challenge since a November road loss at Duke. Of course, that game didn’t go well for the Hoosiers, and Michigan has similarly been running opponents off the floor, especially on their home court. The Wolverines have really only had…
