Hoosier Basketball’s faithful fans are passionate. Psychotics often are. Indiana lost at Penn State, and social media was filled with condemnations of Archie Miller. A week before, Indiana beat Michigan State at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, and fans cheered that Indiana was finally back. The Hoosiers will play Ohio State in Columbus tomorrow, and fans will voice […]
Indiana lost yesterday, and that’s all fans will remember – the 77-76 loss to Maryland. Moral victories, after all, don’t earn bids to the NCAA Tournament. But the Hoosiers didn’t simply lose at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, they lost while playing better than they had all season. The offense moved the ball inside and then kicked […]
Big 10 Basketball is a crapshoot, so let’s shoot craps to determine where Indiana and Purdue finish!
Indiana earned a fascinating win against Michigan State last night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall with connected defense when it mattered and a couple of timely baskets by Joey Brunk and Armaan Franklin. The win lifted IU’s Big 10 record to 5-3 and dropped the Spartans into a first place tie with Illinois at 6-2. Wait. What? Indiana […]
Indiana’s quest for 10 Big 10 wins gets very serious tonight at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall against the #11 Michigan State Spartans. If the Hoosiers get a win, all of a sudden they are 5-3 in conference play and halfway to the magic number of 10 wins with a gauntlet of tough games ahead at […]
When I was a college student at Indiana, half the fun of being a basketball fan was disliking opposing coaches, and the Big 10 during that era was full of coaches that were easy to dislike. Bill Frieder (Michigan), Lou Henson (Illinois), Eldon Miller (Ohio State), Dr. Tom Davis (Iowa) and Gene Keady (do I […]
Indiana fans love to crap on Devonte Green. There have been boos aimed toward Green at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, and Twitter feeds fill with unpleasant characterizations of his play every time he misses early in the shot clock or turns the ball over. Green’s minutes have diminished over the past two games – from 26 per […]
Indiana Basketball struggled in last night’s loss at Rutgers in the same ways it has for the past two-plus years, and fans went wild on social media with calls for change. Tweets from outraged fans responded to last night’s disappointing 59-50 loss at Rutgers with calls for outgoing AD Fred Glass to bow out as athletic director with […]
When Indiana got home Saturday night after getting drilled at Maryland, coach Archie Miller drove straight from the airport to Bob Knight’s house near College Mall to seek advice about his team. After all, when the guy who led the Hoosiers to 11 Big 10 titles, five Final Fours, and three National Championships lives three […]
Devonte Green is the Indiana Basketball player fans love to love and hate – sometimes during the same game. IU likely doesn’t beat Florida State without Green creating offense when there was none otherwise. His 30 points on 10-15 shooting (5-7 from beyond the arc) were crucial in the Hoosiers’ pasting of the Seminoles. No […]
