Indiana men’s basketball showed a lot on Sunday. The Hoosiers went up to Chicago and put on an impressive display in their first real test of the season. They racked up strong shooting numbers and fought through some challenges in a 100-77 win over Marquette at United Center. Indiana (2-0) shot 14 for 28 from 3-point range as a team, the program’s most threes in a game since 2018. IU built up a big lead in the second quarter of the game going into halftime; and though Marquette (2-1) made a run in the second half to close the gap,…

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Fernando Mendoza embodies every cliché about a football player remaining calm and composed under pressure. The redshirt junior threw a pick six in the fourth quarter of Indiana’s huge game at Oregon, and responded with a clinical touchdown drive. Mendoza locked in when the Hoosiers needed him most at Iowa at the end of the game and led them to the winning touchdown. He withstood hit after hit from Penn State on Saturday and never gave in. The growing spotlight and hype surrounding his Heisman Trophy candidacy has yet to shake his focus and his attitude…

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Indiana football has overcome adversity in several games this season, whether a small hiccup or a serious threat. But ‘adversity’ isn’t a strong enough word to describe what the Hoosiers faced Saturday at Beaver Stadium. And ‘overcome’ doesn’t do justice to what they pulled off in those moments. IU, seeking a second consecutive 10-0 start to a season, trailed Penn State 24-20 late in the fourth quarter. The Nittany Lions entered Saturday on a five-game losing streak. They had very little left to play for this year, and PSU’s fan base had no reason to believe…

If Darian DeVries aimed for a strong first impression as Indiana’s head men’s basketball coach, he can check that off his list. In his first game at IU, DeVries’ team displayed a level of dominance on Wednesday rarely seen by the program in recent years. It cruised to a 98-51 win over Alabama A&M in the season-opener at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, and gave DeVries the largest margin of victory for any IU coach in their first game with the program. The Hoosiers wasted no time this year showing what they’re about — and showing how different they are from…

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Indiana football isn’t just winning games. The Hoosiers are dominating. They’re overpowering their opponents and breaking them, every single week. Every game is different; some opponents are tougher than others, some road environments are more hostile than others, some other circumstances can be more challenging than others. But No. 2 IU is simply crushing its competition, week in and week out. Maryland was the latest victim, in a 55-10 drubbing on Saturday at SECU Stadium. “The key to the drill to me is that you’re playing from the first play to the last play the same.…
