Indiana men’s basketball has officially concluded its 2025-26 season. IU failed to earn an NCAA Tournament bid in Darian DeVries’ first season at the helm. That’s now confirmed after the bracket was released on the Selection Show. In mid-February, The Hoosiers sat in a good position to make the tournament, with a 17-8 overall record. But they proceeded to lose six of their final seven games, including two particularly damaging losses to Northwestern. Indiana finished the season 18-14, ultimately finishing among the first four teams to miss the NCAA Tournament. And ultimately, DeVries posted one fewer win this year than…

With spring football approaching, we’re going position by position looking at Indiana’s roster. Curt Cignetti has long favored a committee in the backfield, and that’s held true with the Hoosiers. They utilized both Ty Son Lawton and Justice Ellison in 2024, and Kaelon Black and Roman Hemby did the heavy lifting last year. Lee Beebe Jr. appeared to be part of a three-man group at the beginning of the season, but he suffered a season-ending injury during non-conference action. John Miller’s group looks three-deep going into spring this year once again. Beebe is back and should be a factor at…

IU women’s basketball signee Addy Nyemchek has been named New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year. Nyemchek becomes the fourth Gatorade Player of the Year on Indiana’s roster for 2026-27, joining Lenée Beaumont (Illinois, 2023), Maya Makalusky (Indiana, 2025), and Nevaeh Caffey (Missouri, 2025). The No. 28 recruit in the class of 2026 per ESPN, Nyemchek is also the first high school commit in Indiana program history to be selected to the McDonald’s All-American Game. The 6-foot-2 guard led Red Bank Catholic High to a state championship this season with a 30-2 record. Nyemchek, per MaxPreps, averaged 19.8 points, seven…

With spring football approaching, we’re going position by position looking at Indiana’s roster. The Hoosiers lost a lot at wide receiver after winning the national championship. Between Omar Cooper Jr., Elijah Sarratt, and E.J. Williams Jr., IU is losing a combined 170 receptions for 2,205 yards and 34 touchdowns from last season. It won’t be easy to replace that production, particularly the reliability Cooper and Sarratt brought to Curt Cignetti and Mike Shanahan’s offense. But Indiana’s receiver room has plenty of promise going into 2026. Charlie Becker will headline the group of returnees, after playing every bit as big a…

IU women’s basketball’s Faith Wiseman is set to enter the transfer portal, per a report from On3. The forward is the second Indiana player reportedly departing for the portal as of Thursday, joining Phoenix Stotijn. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/report-indianas-phoenix-stotijn-to-enter-portal/ Wiseman, a Martinsville, Ind. native, entered college hoping to make a lasting impact down the road in Bloomington. But it never materialized for the 6-foot-4 sophomore, appearing in 26 games across her two seasons with the program. She averaged 5.1 minutes per game in her IU career, with 0.3 points and one rebound per game. The Hoosiers are down to 12 scholarship players remaining…

The transfer portal carousel has begun for Indiana women’s basketball. Sophomore guard Phoenix Stotijn, per a report from On3, will enter the portal when it opens on April 6. Stotijn appeared in 24 games for IU this season, averaging 2.1 points, one assist, and 0.7 rebounds across 14.3 minutes per game. She transferred to Bloomington last spring after leaving Arkansas. The Amsterdam, Netherlands native played a key role off the bench for the Hoosiers early in the season, averaging 19.2 minutes per game through their first 13 contests. But her numbers underwhelmed in that span, with 3.2 points, 1.5 assists,…

CHICAGO — Down the stretch this season, Indiana men’s basketball has been the cat with nine lives. The Hoosiers have suffered a tailspin since mid-February, losing six of their last seven games. So many of those contests carried “must-win” labels, with the team hovering around the NCAA Tournament bubble. IU dropped every significant game in that stretch, along with some that should’ve been simple. Winning even one of those contests might have Indiana in decent shape to make the field of 68, with a particularly weak crop of fellow bubble contenders. But on Wednesday at United Center, the cat finally…

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana women’s basketball has yet to officially finalize any postseason plans, but it doesn’t look like a program preparing for further game action in the 2025-26 season. At 18-14 overall, the Hoosiers are unlikely to make the NCAA Tournament — they’re listed as the final team in the “next four out” in ESPN’s Women’s Bracketology. After their loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament, head coach Teri Moren said she had not yet thought about whether the program would accept a WNIT or WBIT invitation, and that she’d lean on seniors Shay Ciezki and Jerni Kiaku…

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Indiana’s regular-season finale at Ohio State was as much of a must-win game as college basketball can have before postseason play. IU entered Columbus coming off a blowout win over Minnesota, but a four-game losing streak before that. The team desperately needed to win a game like this — against another team on the NCAA Tournament bubble — to boost its own resume. But the Hoosiers didn’t play Saturday’s first half like a group facing a must-win situation. They waited too long to show that urgency, as Ohio State cruised to a 91-78 win at the Schottenstein…
