It doesn’t matter a tiny bit to me where Dawson Garcia goes to college. Fans of basketball programs at Indiana, Marquette, Minnesota and Memphis will be on pins and needles Wednesday afternoon at 4:30p ET as they watch Garcia pull a hat from under a table with the logo of his chosen school. It’s an absurd […]
Indiana Basketball’s November march of paid opponents continues tonight at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall as the University of North Alabama comes to town. For many of us, these games are the only moments we consider the existence of schools like North Alabama, and we wonder things like, I wonder if North Alabama is actually to the […]
IU Basketball has brought a mixed bag to fans during the past three seasons, and last night’s meaningless exhibition played in front of friends and family at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall was no different. The Hoosiers played well in the second half, overwhelming Gannon by 30 points, but Gannon actually led late in a miserable first half. There are two ways to […]
Jerome Hunter’s leg is getting healthier every day. That is the only useful piece of insight shared by the 11 players who appeared in three groups or three and one group of two during yesterday’s IU basketball media availability. Other than that, media was delivered an endless torrent of cliches and pablum before being served […]
Archie Miller doesn’t do a lot of press. Some coaches are very receptive to the idea of chatting with media people about life and basketball. Archie is not among them, and that’s just fine. I have no problem with coaches – whose time is at a premium because of workouts, meetings, compliance, recruiting, and other […]
This is Indiana! IU Basketball fans say “This is Indiana” a lot – as though evoking the name of the university and state that takes such pride in its basketball heritage can shake off the rubble and cobwebs of a program that has receded into national irrelevance over the past quarter century. During that 25-year period, […]
Ed Schilling is moving on, according to multiple online reports. Archie Miller’s original staff (Schilling, Bruiser Flint, Tom Ostrom, and Bill Comar) remained intact for two years, and Schilling’s decision to bolt could be explained in a number of ways – Miller is a tough guy to work for, recruiting is a pain in the ass, […]
Indiana Basketball getting back to where fans crave it to be is not about Bob Knight. It’s about the values that are established by successful basketball programs – many of which were embraced by Knight as he led the Hoosiers to 11 Big 10 titles and three national championships. Being successful is not dependent upon […]
Turn me up Indy!!🕺🏽 Where my Hoosier fans at?🔴⚪️ #hoosierpride pic.twitter.com/rm4AUolRfy — Lester Quinones (@Effort_les) April 11, 2019 I don’t like hypists, and Lester Quinones appears to be a hypist. The above tweet from Quinones represents a pre-college basketball player who’s quite fond of himself. Services like 247 Sports and ESPN have Quinones ranked anywhere between […]
Romeo Langford is an enigma. He’s inscrutable. Mysterious. On the basketball court, he has very clever hands around the basket, silky smooth movement, and he’s become an improved defender. His shooting lacks consistency, but averaged 16 points per game. We saw all of what Romeo with our own eyes. What we never saw or heard was the […]
