Indiana women’s basketball dug itself a hole early on Wednesday at Rutgers. But unlike so many other such instances this season, Teri Moren’s team climbed out of it. The Hoosiers overcame a double-digit deficit at Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway, N.J. to earn a 79-69 win. This is their second straight victory, and it secures a winning record in February. IU 16-13, 5-12 Big Ten) has now won five of its last seven games. Indiana committed nine turnovers in the first quarter and 14 in the first half, which allowed Rutgers (9-19, 1-16) to take control of the game. The…

BLOOMINGTON — Tucker DeVries sat down at the dais, sniffling into the microphone as he hung his head, doing his best to hold back tears. DeVries has lost plenty of games in his long basketball career, but rarely have those defeats elicited the type of emotion he displayed in the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall media room Tuesday. He barely made it through answering the first question of the press conference without breaking down, taking several pauses to collect himself. Such is the weight of Indiana men’s basketball’s crushing 72-68 loss to Northwestern. The Hoosiers (17-11, 8-9 Big Ten) let a…

BLOOMINGTON — Even with only nine points going into the fourth quarter of IU women’s basketball’s game against Oregon on Sunday, there was little doubt in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall that Shay Ciezki would get going. All season long, all she’s done is deliver when her team’s needed her most. 102 seconds into the final period, she knocked down her first 3-pointer of the game — a wide-open look coming off a screen. Ciezki shuffled back on defense with a fierce look in her eye. She’d gone 0 for 5 from beyond the arc through the first three quarters, but…

BLOOMINGTON — On senior day, nearing the end of a tumultuous regular season, Indiana women’s basketball picked up its best win of the year on Sunday. IU defeated Oregon, ranked No. 25 on Torvik, 72-65. This is the Hoosiers’ highest-rated victory all season, surpassing their win over Gonzaga in November. Indiana (15-13, 4-12 Big Ten) built a nine-point lead at halftime, through balanced scoring and effective defense. But the game turned in the third quarter, when the Hoosiers went the entire period without a made field goal. They got seven points at the foul line in the third quarter, which was…

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Early in Friday’s game between IU men’s basketball and No. 7 Purdue, Boilermakers forward Trey Kaufman-Renn outmuscled Indiana’s Tucker DeVries for a layup. Kaufman-Renn pumped his fist several times as he shuffled back on defense, as if to gesture that he’d do that all night long. He wasn’t wrong. Purdue was the aggressor at Mackey Arena, for all 40 minutes. Indiana gutted out a 72-67 win over its in-state nemesis in late January at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, but those Hoosiers never showed up on Friday. The Boilermakers ran away with a 93-64 win,…

Indiana men’s basketball heads to Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Ind. on Friday, for the first time in the Darian DeVries era. The Hoosiers take on in-state rival Purdue at 8 p.m. ET on FOX, looking for a season sweep. IU defeated the Boilermakers at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Jan. 27. But this is an even bigger challenge, in a notably loud and hostile environment. DeVries knows IU has to be locked in mentally at Mackey. “I think there’s probably a few components. No. 1, it’s just the communication aspect of play calls and that type of stuff, being…
