Indiana women’s basketball showed its mettle yet again. The Hoosiers outlasted Gonzaga in a tight matchup in Fort Myers, Fla. on Friday, in a 76-72 win in the Coconut Hoops opener. IU advances to the title game on Sunday against No. 10 Iowa State at 1:30 p.m. ET. Indiana (7-0) carried a six-point lead into the fourth quarter, but Gonzaga (3-4) kept the pressure on. The Bulldogs cut their deficit to one point three times in the final period. But after all three Gonzaga scores to make it a one-point game, the Hoosiers responded with a clutch bucket of their…

Indiana football will get a key playmaker back for the Old Oaken Bucket game, but it’s losing a different one. The Hoosiers will not have wide receiver E.J. Williams Jr. on Friday — he’s listed as out on the Big Ten availability report. Head coach Curt Cignetti, during the week, did not mention Williams being at risk of missing the game. IU will, however, get Elijah Sarratt back at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Ind. The star wideout has been out two straight games with an injury, and he missed most of the Maryland game as well. Additionally, left guard…

Indiana football is on the doorstep of the Big Ten Championship Game. IU can lock up a spot in the title game with a win over Purdue in the Old Oaken Bucket game on Friday. It would also secure the program’s first-ever undefeated regular season. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will air on NBC and Peacock. Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti met with local media on Monday to discuss the upcoming rivalry game. Here are some key points from the press conference. Battling the Boilers Purdue is in its first season with head coach Barry Odom,…

It’s nothing new for Indiana women’s basketball to be working with a thin rotation. Head coach Teri Moren typically doesn’t go very deep into her bench, particularly as the season progresses. When the Hoosiers won the Big Ten regular season championship in 2022-23, they had only one player average double-digit minutes off the bench. That number jumped to four last season, but two of those players (Jules LaMendola and Henna Sandvik) finished just above 10 minutes per game, and both reverted below that mark in conference games. Through five games this season, three IU players are playing double-digit minutes per…

When Fernando and Alberto Mendoza played football in the backyard as children, they pictured themselves on bigger stages. No, they weren’t hitting the Heisman Trophy pose, or thinking about becoming a future Heisman frontrunner. The Mendozas, growing up in South Florida, acted the same as a lot of kids playing around at home — just like Bloomington children who’d imagine themselves as, say, Indiana taking on Notre Dame or Purdue. “Whenever I was in the backyard playing with Alberto, we’d make up high-pressure situations, whether it was University of Miami versus University of Florida in the national championship, or the…

BLOOMINGTON — Indiana men’s basketball just looked flat. The Hoosiers started Thursday’s game against Lindenwood with a 12-2 run, but it took them over 7:30 of game time to get those 12 points. They created enough separation on the scoreboard to pull away comfortably, overall, for a 73-53 win. But Indiana’s on-court leader didn’t mince words about his team’s display at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. “We just got to play harder, to be honest,” redshirt senior Tucker DeVries said after the game. “It’s been an emphasis in practice and we’ll get it fixed.” Indiana (5-0) has now endured back-to-back games…

Indiana women’s basketball defeated Butler 72-53 on Wednesday evening at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Below are three quick reasons why the Hoosiers won, along with highlights, final stats, and a few quotes. IU (5-0) goes back on the road for its next game to take on Florida Gulf Coast on Tuesday. —————————————————— Three quick reasons why Indiana beat Butler 1. A big first quarter: Indiana raced out to a big lead early in the game. Teri Moren’s team dominated the opening period and built up a 23-7 lead by the end, with freshman Maya Makalusky capping it off with a 3-pointer…

Indiana football has its second bye of the 2025 season in the penultimate week of the regular season. IU is off this week, with only one regular season game remaining after the bye: the Old Oaken Bucket game at Purdue. Curt Cignetti’s team will be a heavy favorite in that matchup, and a win would secure the first undefeated regular season in program history. But even without playing this week, the Hoosiers could officially clinch a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game. They’d need two results to go their way on Saturday for that to happen. Maryland (4-6, 1-6…

IU women’s basketball’s first power-conference matchup of the season presented the Hoosiers with a crossroads. Teri Moren’s team was coming off a rough outing last week against Marshall. IU won that game, but it more so survived its own poor play rather than assert any control over the Thundering Herd. Indiana followed that with a road battle at Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla. Last year, the team allowed bad performances to spill over into future games, leading to several non-conference losses and a tougher Big Ten slate than the program had seen in several seasons. The Hoosiers had to respond…
