Some members of the Indiana baseball team have gone from the disappointment of a season ending loss to Texas on Sunday night to the thrill of being drafted by a Major League Baseball team within a matter of days. Coming into the 2018 draft, 90 Hoosiers had been selected by a MLB team all-time. Chicago Cub Kyle Schwarber is the earliest selected Hoosier ever in the draft. He was taken in the 1st round, 4th overall, in 2014. With a total of four Hoosiers taken in the 2018 draft, IU has now had 24 players drafted in the last six…

It was already going to be one of the better Indiana University football quarterback competitions to watch in recent memory. Back in the early spring you had the presumed front runner Peyton Ramsey being pushed by true freshman Michael Penix. Others were lurking in the shadows like Nick Tronti, Johnny Pabst, and of course 2017 Indiana Mr. Football Reese Taylor. And then Brandon Dawkins happened, and the dominoes started falling. Indiana announced that Dawkins was going to transfer to IU as a graduate with one year of immediate eligibility remaining back on April 10, just days before the annual Cream…
The 2017-18 NBA season has ended for all of the eight former Indiana Hoosiers that registered statistics in the league this year. Today marks the eighth in a series of more in depth reviews of their respective seasons as we discuss former Hoosier one and done sensation Eric Gordon. Everything about Eric Gordon’s brief tenure with Indiana, from his commitment on through to the end of his freshman season, was high profile. Gordon first verbally committed to Illinois in November of 2005 before having a change of heart and signing on with Indiana in October of 2006. In the intervening months, IU hired new…
The Indiana University baseball team’s 2018 season has come to an end at the Austin Regional of the NCAA Tournament. After advancing earlier in the day with a 9-7 win over Texas A&M, the Hoosiers came up short against the host Texas Longhorns. The final score was Texas 3, Indiana 2.

The IU bullpen combination of Tommy Sommer and Cal Krueger was strong as well, giving up just 1 run. Krueger pitched…

If you’ve ever wondered how the Big Ten/ACC Challenge men’s college basketball match-ups are determined, the pairings for 2018 should leave little doubt. Despite Duke finishing 2nd in the ACC, and Indiana 6th in the Big Ten last season, the teams will meet in the event for the third time in the last four years. If the teams are not matched up based on their prior season conference standings, there seems to be only one other possibility — TV ratings. It is hard to blame the television networks. You might as well pair up the biggest names and create marquee,…
Indiana starting pitcher Pauly Milto has had a knack for delivering dominant starts for the Hoosiers at critical junctures during the 2018 season. There was no more critical juncture than a NCAA Tournament elimination game for Indiana, and their ace came through once again. With the season hanging in the balance, Milto threw his second complete game shutout of the season, compiling a career high 11 strikeouts in the process. The complete game against Texas Southern was critical for an Indiana bullpen that was forced into extensive action on Friday and potentially has a long day in front of it…
