Indiana women’s basketball is no longer undefeated. The Hoosiers suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday, a 106-95 defeat to No. 10 Iowa State in the Coconut Hoops title game in Fort Myers, Fla. IU (7-1) trailed by only three points at halftime, and held a one-point lead with 6:09 remaining in the third quarter. But Iowa State (9-0) stormed back in front with a 9-0 run, and then pulled away in the fourth quarter. The Cyclones stretched their lead to double digits just over a minute into the final period; Indiana got it back to a nine-point…

Indiana football has spent the last two years under Curt Cignetti redefining what’s possible for its program to achieve. The Hoosiers completed another chapter of that story on Friday. Yes, they obliterated Purdue in a 56-3 rout to capture a second consecutive Old Oaken Bucket. But more significantly, they finished off a 12-0 regular season for the first time ever. It’s the second-ever undefeated regular season in IU history — Bo McMillan led the program to a 9-0-1 campaign in 1945. But this 2025 season, 80 years later, has reached another level. That feat shouldn’t be taken lightly. “It’s really…

Indiana football beat Purdue by a final score of 56-3 on Friday evening at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Ind. Second-ranked IU finishes the regular season undefeated for the first time since 1945, with a 12-0 overall record and a 9-0 Big Ten mark. Curt Cignetti’s team clinches a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis next week with the victory, with either No. 1 Ohio State, No. 6 Oregon, or No. 15 Michigan on the other side. Below are three quick reasons why the Hoosiers won their second consecutive Old Oaken Bucket, along with highlights and final…

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…
