BLOOMINGTON — For a team centrally built around 3-point shooting, Sam Alexis can be a little overlooked on IU men’s basketball at times. Alexis is the only true big man in Indiana’s rotation. He’s started for the Hoosiers since the Penn State game on Dec. 9, but he largely split time inside with Reed Bailey. And though Alexis has been solid for much of the season, Bailey has had the bigger games of the two thus far. But that changed Saturday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Alexis had one of the best games of his collegiate career and helped Indiana…

Indiana football’s historic season was full of memorable moments. The Hoosiers captured their first-ever national championship and became the first team since the 1890s to finish 16-0. The Daily Hoosier has compiled our list of the top 10 plays and moments from IU’s march to the title. Here, in no particular order, are our honorable mentions for this list. Some are plays that just narrowly missed the cut. Others are moments that weren’t in serious contention for the top 10, but deserved some love. Jonathan Brady punt return touchdown vs. Old Dominion This one is easy to forget, since it was way…

Indiana women’s basketball has a winning streak for the first time since December. The Hoosiers held on to defeat Wisconsin 77-74 at Kohl Center in Madison, Wis. on Wednesday. IU (13-11, 2-10 Big Ten) led for nearly 33 minutes of game time, but struggled to put the game out of reach for the Badgers. Wisconsin (13-10, 5-7) trailed by 12 points in the third quarter, but came back to take the lead with 3:33 remaining in the game. But Indiana star Shay Ciezki took over from there. The senior was at her best when her team needed it most, scoring 10…

Indiana men’s basketball didn’t go down easily against USC. The Hoosiers managed to stay in the game and put pressure on the Trojans to close out Tuesday’s contest, even when USC appeared positioned to pull away. IU turned a 10-point deficit into just two in a span of just over four minutes at the end of the game. But that fight stands as one of the few positives Indiana displayed on Tuesday; a bright spot on a night that didn’t feature many of them. Darian DeVries’ squad just couldn’t get enough going at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, falling…

Curt Cignetti has an opening on his coaching staff. Per reports, IU quarterbacks coach Chandler Whitmer is leaving the Hoosiers to take the same position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL. This will be the second consecutive offseason Indiana will have to replace its quarterbacks coach. Cignetti hired Whitmer last year after Tino Sunseri left to become UCLA’s offensive coordinator. Sunseri was let go midseason as the Bruins struggled. Whitmer came to IU after spending 2024 with the Atlanta Falcons as pass game specialist, and before that he was an offensive quality control coach for the Los Angeles…

IU women’s basketball signee Addy Nyemchek has been named a McDonald’s All-American. This is the first time in program history a high school commit has earned this prestigious honor. IU has had multiple transfers who previously played in the McDonald’s All-American Game, including Zania Socka-Nguemen (2024) and Sydney Parrish (2020). But Nyemchek is Indiana’s first high school signee to be selected. The 6-foot-2 guard is rated a four-star recruit and the No. 28 overall player in the class of 2026 by ESPN, making her one of the highest-rated commits in IU women’s basketball history. Nyemchek, an Oceanport, N.J. native, is…

After a miserable nine-game losing streak spanning the entirety of January, Indiana women’s basketball started February with a better taste. The Hoosiers finally ended their long skid Sunday, holding off Northwestern for a 89-75 victory at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. This is IU’s first Big Ten win this season, and its first win of any kind in six weeks. Indiana (12-11, 1-10 Big Ten) took advantage of its first winnable conference matchup on its home court. Teri Moren’s team spent the first 10 games in Big Ten play largely facing teams in the top half of the conference standings. Northwestern…

Indiana men’s basketball sat in great position to close out a great road win at UCLA. IU led 71-61 with 1:50 remaining at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. Had the Hoosiers finished it off in regulation, it would’ve marked a clear turning point heading into February. But that isn’t how things played out on Saturday. UCLA closed out regulation on a 15-5 run, and Trent Perry hit a game-tying 3-pointer with two seconds left. IU faced a precarious situation going to overtime — with Tayton Conerway unavailable and Conor Enright fouled out, the Hoosiers didn’t have a point guard. And…
