Indiana goes back out on the road Monday night for a Big Ten Conference contest with Rutgers. Both teams are on only one day of rest and both teams are riding long losing streaks (Indiana 4, Rutgers 5). We took a look at what the Rutgers media is saying about the game: A COREY SANDERS ANTIDOTE? On the Banks laments that the defense that has been giving Rutgers the most trouble is the pack-line. This is primarily due to the fact that the pack line places a heavy emphasis on eliminating dribble penetration and forces you to win from the…

On a night when Indiana basketball 2018 recruiting target Romeo Langford was honored for being a McDonald’s All-American, one has to wonder if he is making a final push for the ultimate Indiana high school basketball honor: all-time scoring king. After missing a game earlier in the year it appeared that Romeo would come up short in his pursuit of Damon Bailey’s all-time mark. In the words of former Indiana football coach Lee Corso, “Not so fast my friend!” Langford has scored 107 points in his last two games, and for now, the chase is back on. On Saturday, New…
Some how, some way, Indiana found themselves with the ball down three with a chance to tie. Devonte Green missed a 55 footer off the back of the rim as time expired. The shot was close, but ultimately not close enough. That’s a familiar story for the 2017-18 Indiana Hoosiers.

There are plenty of positives to draw from these games but there is no time to reflect on those or anything else for that matter. …

GAME NOTES: The Indiana Hoosiers (11-12, 4-6) host the Northwestern Wildcats (9-14, 2-7) on Sunday at 12 p.m. ET at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The game will be broadcast on BTN. Take a good look at that picture. Sure, it’s just a snapshot. Just a moment in time. But it perfectly encapsulates Tyra Buss on the basketball court. If you went to a game uninformed you might watch warm-ups and suspect that #3 was an undersized walk-on that would never see the floor. Then the game tips-off, and you know immediately who is running the show. It’s the perfect combination of…
A DISTRACTED PROGRAM? OK, so the Chicago Tribune isn’t exactly the “MSU media”, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t give you an independent perspective on how the Larry Nassar saga and related fallout at Michigan State is impacting Tom Izzo and his program. The Tribune covered it and highlighted how Izzo hasn’t been addressing the matter when asked: “I’m going to do what I think is right,” Izzo said Wednesday night after the fifth-ranked Spartans beat Penn State for their fifth straight win. “I’m sorry. I really am. I watch a lot of TV and I see on shows that everybody…
