You know that relaxed feeling that you had when Indiana ran out to a 24-8 first half lead? The IU players had it too. And it got them beat. From that point forward Rutgers had more energy in just about every aspect of the game and it followed a red hot Corey Sanders to victory. The Hoosiers’ misery in the Big Ten tournament continues, and now they are left to wait to see if they will be invited to any postseason play. If you believe this NIT bracketology, Indiana was barely in that tournament before last night’s loss. After so…

The Indiana University women’s basketball team survived perhaps the most dramatic game in the history of the Big Ten tournament with a thrilling 111-109 four overtime victory. The Hoosiers improved to 17-13 on the season and keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive with the victory. The game contained a little bit of everything, including a clock malfunction at the end of the first overtime. Michigan State had hit what appeared to be the game winning shot at the buzzer, but the clock did not function properly in that final sequence and the officials were forced to determine that the shot…

What a difference six weeks can make. On January 16, Indiana let a fourth quarter lead slip away on the road and lost to No. 14 Maryland 74-70. The loss left the struggling Hoosiers with an 8-12 overall record and a 1-6 mark in Big Ten play. Any thoughts of playing in the postseason seemed more fantasy than anything based in reality.
