With its season on the line, Indiana baseball suffered one of its worst pitching performances of the season.

Indiana baseball left itself too much work to do. The Hoosiers fell behind No. 1 overall seed Tennessee and allowed the score to become too lopsided to overcome in Saturday’s NCAA regional game. The Volunteers rolled to a 12-6 victory at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, putting themselves in the regional final. IU will play Southern Miss Sunday at noon ET in an elimination game on ESPN Plus. The winner of the game will have a doubleheader and take on Tennessee at 7 p.m. The Volunteers would win the regional with a win in that game, but the teams would…
Indiana baseball didn’t waste much time in its regional opener. The Hoosiers’ offense jumped on Southern Miss in the first two innings, opening a 5-0 lead that only grew. They didn’t relinquish that edge, cruising to an 10-4 win on Friday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn. Indiana advances to the 1-0 game in the regional on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET against the winner between Northern Kentucky and No. 1 overall seed Tennessee. IU’s offense dominated on Friday, with 17 hits along with two walks and one hit batsman. All nine starters got at least one hit, with…
BORDEN, Ind. — After undergoing an offseason procedure related to a meniscus in his knee, Indiana men’s basketball guard Trey Galloway is recovering. The surgery was related to his injury suffered during IU’s regular-season finale against Michigan State. He missed the rest of that game after the injury as well as the Big Ten Tournament. IU head coach Mike Woodson addressed Galloway’s status on Wednesday at Indiana’s annual event at Huber Winery and Vineyards in southern Indiana. “He’s going through rehab. He’s not ready to play yet on the floor, but we’re hoping and thinking he’s going to be back…
Keyanna Warthen didn’t always envision herself coaching. Indiana women’s basketball’s new team and recruitment coordinator and assistant coach knew she liked working with kids, and she loved basketball. But she didn’t begin picturing herself as a coach until she transferred from IU to SMU in 2021 — and even still, she didn’t immediately go that route. She took a marketing internship with the WNBA’s Dallas Wings after completing her sports management master’s degree at SMU. It took Warthen stepping back from the action to fully realize where she belonged. “To kind of not be around it but work behind the…
Indiana baseball’s postseason fate was uncertain going into Selection Monday. But the Hoosiers didn’t have to wait long to hear good news. IU has made the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year and the third time under head coach Jeff Mercer. The Hoosiers are in the Knoxville Regional, hosted by No. 1 overall seed Tennessee. Indiana (32-24-1) will open against Southern Miss (41-18), with the Golden Eagles coming off a Sun Belt Tournament championship.

IU baseball entered Saturday at the Big Ten Tournament with wins in its first two games and high hopes of bolstering its potential NCAA Tournament résumé. The third-seeded Hoosiers needed to win just one game of a potential two on Saturday against No. 2 seed Nebraska to advance to the conference championship game. The Cornhuskers’ close win Saturday morning forced a win-or-go-home game for both teams around five hours later. The nightcap’s result was never really in doubt. Nebraska dominated at the plate with seven extra-base hits and rolled to a 10-4 victory at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha. A…
After a hot start to the Big Ten Tournament this week, Indiana baseball quieted down on Saturday morning. The third-seeded Hoosiers suffered their first loss of the tournament in Omaha, a 4-2 defeat to No. 2 seed Nebraska. The teams will face off again this evening at 6 p.m. ET in a do-or-die game for both sides. The winner advances to the Big Ten championship game, while the loser will suffer its second loss of the tournament and go home. IU (32-23-1) brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth inning after a leadoff single by Jasen Oliver.…
Indiana baseball set the tone of Thursday’s Big Ten Tournament matchup against Ohio State early. The Hoosiers made clear the contest would be a slugfest, with five runs in the second inning. Ohio State fought back and tied it up, making Indiana work for it. But IU wasn’t fazed and ran away with a 14-7 victory at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha. This is the first time since 2014 IU has won its first two games in the Big Ten Tournament. And Indiana’s 14 runs tied a program record for its most in a Big Ten Tournament game. Indiana (32-22-1)…
Indiana men’s basketball went into this offseason with a lot of work to do and very little margin for error. With the program opting to stick by head coach Mike Woodson despite some recruiting misses in the class of 2024 and a disappointing 2023-24 campaign, this became a critical offseason for the Hoosiers. And with seven open scholarships, thanks to Liam McNeeley decommitting, Kel’el Ware going to the NBA Draft, and three outbound transfers, IU was looking at a major roster overhaul. Woodson was playing the transfer portal on expert mode. Given some of his swings and misses in the…
