Indiana women’s basketball has announced its non-conference schedule for the 2025-26 season. Head coach Teri Moren has completely revamped her roster this offseason, with six outbound transfers joining some major pieces graduating. Only five player remain from the 2024-25 roster, with only senior guard Shay Ciezki having played major minutes. The new-look Hoosiers could face some early tests this year. They played only one true road game in non-conference play last season, at Butler, which still had a heavy contingent of IU fans in the crowd. But this season, Indiana has two non-conference road games: at Florida State on Sunday,…

BLOOMINGTON — Going into the season-opener, Indiana football had a predicament at safety. That situation only became dicier after the Hoosiers defeated Old Dominion. Louis Moore started at free safety, and played well. He led the team with seven tackles, and added an interception and a pass breakup. But his availability is highly uncertain beyond the Kennesaw State game, depending on the outcome of his lawsuit against the NCAA. IU entered the season with some depth at safety behind Moore and Amare Ferrell, though largely inexperienced. But that depth took a hit on Saturday, when Bryson Bonds suffered an injury…

BLOOMINGTON — Punt returner was one of the last position battles to be decided for Indiana football during fall camp this year. At the beginning of the final week of camp, head coach Curt Cignetti said that position remained unsettled, with several players still in the mix. Only one player on IU’s roster, wide receiver Jonathan Brady, had any significant experience returning punts at the FBS level — he served as New Mexico State’s punt returner in 2023. Brady ultimately won the job. And he validated Cignetti and special teams coach Grant Cain’s decision very quickly during Indiana’s season-opener against…

As Indiana football gets set to open the 2025 season Saturday, it marks the beginning of one last go-around for the team’s defensive stalwarts. Linebacker Aiden Fisher and defensive end Mikail Kamara grew up just 90 minutes away from each other: Fisher in Fredericksburg, Va. and Kamara in Ashburn. Fisher arrived at James Madison after Kamara had already spent two seasons with the Dukes. Their college football paths have since become intertwined. The duo helped JMU find immediate success after moving up to FBS, before following head coach Curt Cignetti and his staff to Bloomington. And all they’ve done since…

Sitting on the Indiana football team bus in Columbus, Ohio in November 2022, Carter Smith could hardly contain himself. The offensive tackle, who grew up around 20 minutes from Ohio Stadium, knew he’d make his collegiate debut that day. And the true freshman couldn’t hide his excitement as he left the team hotel. Smith was so amped up, some teammates became concerned. “I will never forget, on the bus ride over there, he had his sunglasses on and Beats headphones in. I was freaked out, like how excited (he was),” former IU center Mike Katic said in 2023. “I was…

BLOOMINGTON — At long last, Indiana football is set to take the field. It’s officially game week for the Hoosiers, for the first time in 2025. They open the season against Old Dominion on Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Memorial Stadium televised on FS1. IU head coach Curt Cignetti met with local media on Monday for his weekly in-season press conference, to talk about his team entering the season, the upcoming opponent, and more. Here’s a few key points he discussed. Game week is back Indiana worked hard throughout fall camp, spanning around three and a half…

BLOOMINGTON — For Zen Michalski, switching from left tackle to right tackle is like writing with his non-dominant hand. And for the Ohio State transfer, that’s more than just a metaphor. He joined Indiana football out of the transfer portal in the offseason, and head coach Curt Cignetti and offensive line coach Bob Bostad told him they envisioned him on the right side of the offensive line. So he started making an effort to use his right hand — his non-dominant hand — more frequently in routine daily actions. “I was like, ‘I’m going to start doing everything with my…

With football season approaching, we’re going through Indiana’s roster to look at each position group going into fall camp. Indiana has most of its specialists back this season. The Hoosiers brought in some pieces for special teams this offseason, including their starting punter for this season. But other than that spot, most of the additions were more about depth and future potential than anyone who will contribute this season. Roster turnover — who’s gone James Evans (P) (exhausted his eligibility) Derek McCormick (K) (exhausted his eligibility) Roster turnover — who’s back Mark Langston (LS) (sixth-year senior) Nico Radicic (K) (redshirt sophomore)…

When Mark Langston started long snapping, he intentionally misfired. He wanted to play punter in middle school, but his coach put him at long snapper. He wasn’t keen on the move, initially. So in Langston’s mind, if he purposely messed up on his snaps, his coach would move him off snapping duty and over to punter. His coach soon sat him down and told him, ‘You’re not going to do either, now.’ It all worked out eventually. Langston played outside linebacker at Kennesaw State in 2019 and 2020, though he didn’t see any game action. He kept long snapping on…
