Indiana women’s basketball has made two late additions to its 2026-27 roster. 5-foot-11 guard Camille Pangonis and 6-foot-3 forward Ashlyn Anderson have both signed with Indiana, the program announced Tuesday. Pangonis will be a freshman, and Anderson will be a junior. Both players are from Ontario, Canada. They become the fourth and fifth Canadians in IU women’s basketball history, and the first since Kiandra Browne from 2020-23. Pangonis played high school ball at Fort Erie International Academy, averaging 9.6 points, six rebounds, 3.5 assists, and two steals per game through her career. Anderson’s time at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario,…

We’re going team-by-team across Big Ten men’s basketball to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out in 2026-27. Penn State enters year four with Mike Rhoades trending in the wrong direction. After winning their first NCAA Tournament game in 22 years in 2023 under Micah Shrewsberry, the Nittany Lions have stumbled to three straight losing seasons. PSU won 16 games in each of Rhoades’ first two seasons, before falling to 12-20 last year and finishing last place in the Big Ten. His job security could be riding on improvement this year. WHO’S GONE: Freddie Dilione V (14…

We’re going team-by-team across Big Ten men’s basketball to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out in 2026-27. Next up is Ohio State, which showed some real progress last season in Jake Diebler’s second full year at the helm. The Buckeyes closed the year well, winning five of their last eight in the regular season including victories over No. 24 Wisconsin and No. 8 Purdue. They defeated eventual Elite Eight team Iowa in the Big Ten Tournament and pushed eventual national champion Michigan hard, but ultimately fell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. OSU underwent…

We’re going team-by-team across Big Ten men’s basketball to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out in 2026-27. Nebraska basketball enjoyed a historic campaign in 2025-26, finally winning its first-ever NCAA Tournament game. The Cornhuskers followed that with another victory to reach the Sweet 16, only to see the run end thanks to an upset loss to rival Iowa. Fred Hoiberg is losing some key pieces from that squad, but Nebraska has plenty of reason for continued optimism into 2026-27. WHO’S GONE: Rienk Mast (13.3 PPG) (exhausted his eligibility) Jamarques Lawrence (9.8 PPG) (exhausted his eligibility) Sam…

Class of 2027 cornerback Chris Bradley has committed to Indiana football, he announced Sunday afternoon. Bradley took an official visit to IU this weekend. The West Chester, Ohio native is rated a three-star recruit by 247Sports Composite. Bradley is ranked the No. 42 overall prospect in the class out of Ohio, and the No. 106 cornerback in the class. Bradley checks in at 5-foot-10 and 150 pounds. He chose the Hoosiers over Wisconsin, James Madison, and Temple, per Rivals and On3. His other offers included Wake Forest, Miami (OH), Ohio, Kent State, and Toledo. Bradley is the 12th commit of…

We’re going team-by-team across Big Ten men’s basketball to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out in 2026-27. Niko Medved’s first season at Minnesota had some nice moments, including home upsets over No. 22 Indiana in early December, No. 19 Iowa in early January and No. 10 Michigan State in early February. The Golden Gophers showed plenty of fight in a number of defeats as well, and their 8-12 Big Ten record — an 11th-place finish — was better than many predicted going into the year. They suffered multiple injuries that set them back for most of conference…

We’re going team-by-team across Big Ten men’s basketball to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out in 2026-27. Michigan State did Michigan State things in 2025-26. A 27-8 overall record with a triple-bye in the Big Ten Tournament, a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and a trip to the second weekend. The Spartans fell to UConn in the Sweet 16 in a tight one that easily could’ve gone their way. But legendary head coach Tom Izzo now turns the page to 2026-27 with another team that should contend for championships. WHO’S GONE: Jaxon Kohler (12.5…

We’re going team-by-team across Big Ten men’s basketball to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out in 2026-27. One could say Michigan is coming off a nice season. All the Wolverines did was end the Big Ten’s 26-year national championship drought in Indianapolis, defeating UConn to win the program’s second-ever national title. Head coach Dusty May built a juggernaut in Ann Arbor with one of the best teams in the country all year long, and while UM may not be the last team standing in April 2027, there’s no sign that the program will slow down. WHO’S…

Fred Williams is joining Indiana women’s basketball as an assistant coach, the program announced Friday. Williams spent 2025-26 with Florida, which finished 18-15 overall. Before that, he served as associate head coach at Auburn for three years, with one NCAA Tournament appearance. The 69-year-old has previous head coaching experience, both in college and the WNBA. “Fred joining our staff adds another veteran voice to our program, one that has experience across a variety of levels of women’s basketball,” Indiana head coach Teri Moren said in IU’s press release. “He will be a valuable asset to our staff and players and…

We’re going team-by-team across Big Ten men’s basketball to assess where everyone stands and how things could shake out in 2026-27. Iowa, like Indiana, also went into last year with a new head coach. Ben McCollum had been linked with the Hoosiers job during their search, but he ultimately landed in Iowa City. His first year with the Hawkeyes entered the NCAA Tournament with a “solid” label — a 21-12 overall record, with a 10-10 Big Ten mark, and a No. 9 seed in the tournament. Certainly a result that IU would have taken. But Iowa’s season went from solid…
