Indiana lost to Wisconsin today at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, so the Hoosiers will be the 11-seed in next week’s Big 10 Tournament. Without a win or two in Indianapolis next week, they may be relegated to a second straight bid in the NIT. IU coach Archie Miller knows it, and he took a swing at the […]
Ali Patberg is the perfect Indiana point guard.

On February 8th, Indiana was reeling after losing their fourth straight, a 12-point loss to Purdue at Assembly Hall. Bob Knight returned that day along with […]
The Indiana Basketball roller coaster is fun again. Up and down it has rolled through solid wins against Florida State and Penn State and miserable losses to Purdue and Maryland (2X). Devonte Green has been a one-man thrill ride with made threes and ill-conceived lob passes with equal enthusiasm. Coach Archie Miller was intractable in defending screen […]
