I have put little emotional investment into this Big Ten season. As the losses piled up, it was hard to. With so many turnovers and so much frustration, there came a point where you had to cut your losses and ...
FINAL SCORE: Northwestern 75, Indiana 53 THE GOOD: A hot start. IU rushed out to a 15-7 lead in the first five minutes, but once Northwestern switched to a 1-3-1 zone, they only mustered 38 points the last 35 minutes ...
FINAL SCORE: Illinois 65, Indiana 52 THE GOOD: The second half. During their first matchup, Illinois was one of the teams this year that IU was never in the game against. At halftime, it sure looked like that was going ...
FINAL SCORE: Minnesota: 62 IU: 54 THE BAD AND UGLY: The first half. Whoa boy: it was tough to watch, even by this year’s standards. Turnover after turnover after turnover. And then a few more turnovers. When the fist half ...
THE GOOD: — Jeremiah Rivers’ plaid shirt. — Devan Dumes. He was 8-of-9 for the night, including 5-of-5 from 3-point land. He scored 27 points. You can’t ask for a better night than that. – Kyle Taber looking crafty around ...
FINAL SCORE: Northwestern: 77 Indiana: 75 THE GOOD: For the first time in a long time — maybe all season? — the Hoosiers looked like they belonged. Despite the high number of turnovers, IU played so crisp and smooth at ...
FINAL SCORE: Penn State: 65 Indiana: 55 THE GOOD: After a couple of woeful games, IU returned home Saturday night and played Penn State well enough to keep it interesting and fight for a win. There was no doom and ...
THE GOOD: THE GOOD, CONTINUED: Verdell Jones looked incredibly competent in the point guard role tonight (I feel like this was the first time all year we didn’t get a lot of Daniel Moore dribbling all over the place, which ...
THE GOOD (HEY, WE HAD TO LIST SOMETHING, RIGHT?): Nick Williams. That pretty much sums it up. On a day when the Hoosiers came out with far less fight than needed to win in a hostile environment, Williams was the ...
THE GOOD: We played very good for very long against a borderline Top 25 team, who has beaten the likes Duke and UCLA. The first half was so promising, so full of life, it was a feeling we haven’t felt ...
THE GOOD Tom Crean. After Indiana’s abysmal last couple games, starting out on the road in the Big Ten — no matter what the team — and having the Hoosiers in it at the end impressed me. Credit the coach ...
THE GOOD Someone else showed up on offense besides Tom Pritchard. Devan Dumes mirrored his scoring prowess from the beginning of the season, and dumped in 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 from three-point land. Verdell Jones seems to ...
Disclaimer: This is going to be half baked, ill informed and incredibly short, namely because I watched more Bears tonight than I did Hoosiers. THE GOOD IS A BROKEN RECORD Tom Pritchard. You find him up in this top register ...
That was awful. Wait, it was worse that that. What’s the word I’m looking for here…Horrendous, Atrocious, Deplorable. All of those work, so take your pick. With Sir Ryan out of commission this evening, it’s time to open up this ...
THE GOOD LIFE Domination. Swagger. Dunks. Steals. I don’t know if we will ever see another 18 minutes of play like that again this year, but for almost an entire second half this evening, IU flat out worked over the ...
THE GOOD After the Wake Forest drubbing Wednesday, I think we were all bracing for a slaughter this afternoon inside Lucas Oil Stadium. Gonzaga has size, experience, talent; they’re ranked No. 5 in the country and are serious contenders to ...
