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 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…

Below are three quick reasons why the Hoosiers won, along with highlights and final stats. IU (4-0) returns to Bloomington to take on Butler on Wednesday. —————————————————— Three quick reasons why Indiana beat Florida State 1. Lenée’s day: Lenée Beaumont had a tough night against Marshall, with a team-high seven turnovers. She scored 10 points, for the second time in the first three games this year, along with six assists and four turnovers, but the redshirt sophomore appeared out of sorts throughout that…

BLOOMINGTON — Curt Cignetti, at times, is a madman on the sidelines. And he doesn’t shy away from it — he’s acknowledged those tendencies on multiple occasions. Indiana’s head coach will pace around furiously and continue coaching his players hard when his team is winning by 40 points in the fourth quarter. He’s become a meme for his many displeased facial expressions captured during games, even when the Hoosiers are playing well. But when IU entered halftime on Saturday against Wisconsin ahead by just three points, Cignetti took a different approach. He didn’t light into his team in the locker…

Indiana football is looking to make more history on Saturday. The second-ranked Hoosiers (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) take on Wisconsin (3-6, 1-5) at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, kicking off at noon ET on Big Ten Network. This is IU’s final home game of the regular season, so the program will honor its seniors on the field before the contest. Curt Cignetti has led Indiana to a 10-0 start for the second straight season. But this was where the run ended for the Hoosiers last year, as they fell to Ohio State in Columbus in their penultimate game in 2024. So…
