From Indiana Athletics BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana head football coach Kevin Wilson announced Wednesday the signing of 22 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent to play for the Hoosiers in 2013.

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent This time, the rebound careened away from Cody Zeller, instead of right to him. And when the loose ball headed for the other side of the lane in the direction of Nik Stauskas and Trey Burke, Zeller absolutely seemed out of the picture. But Zeller shot forward like an overgrown […]
By DOUG GRIFFITHS ISL Assistant Editor You don’t need anyone to tell you that tonight’s matchup between No. 1 Michigan and No. 3 Indiana should be every college basketball fans’ dream matchup. After all, it’s being dubbed the “Game of the Year” and for good reason. The Wolverines and Hoosiers are a combined 39-3, are […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A lot of sports writers get criticized for not going back over their predictions and bold statements because by not doing so, they never seem wrong.

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent These are not your younger brother’s Indiana Hoosiers, not with Cody Zeller roaming the middle and defensive stalwarts like Victor Oladipo and Yogi Ferrell clogging driving lanes, and they reestablished supremacy again Wednesday night. Purdue’s Baby Boiler era looks for all the world like a fading memory, a four-year blip […]
By DOUG GRIFFITHS ISL Assistant Editor What’s your favorite Purdue-Indiana game? Perhaps it’s the Hoosiers’ 41-point blowout over the visitors in 1992 or IU’s 1987 double-digit home win over No. 4 Purdue. If you’re a Boilermaker backer, thoughts of the Austin brothers slaying Bob Knights’ IU teams in the 1990s come to mind and so […]

Following is what Clisby, the “Voice of the Boilermakers,” had to say about Purdue, who is 11-9 this season. IndySportsLegends.com: Do […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor A Purdue win over No. 3 Indiana on Wednesday wouldn’t be as big an upset as some might think. I have covered both teams this season, so I have perhaps a unique perspective on their matchup. Indiana is loaded with skill and weapons, but the Hoosiers have some weaknesses the Boilermakers […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Most players are fortunate to accumulate six steals and three blocks in a week. Indiana forward Victor Oladipo needed just one joyous Sunday afternoon. With the National Football League playoffs on a one-week hiatus, Oladipo provided national television viewers a reasonable facsimile of a cornerback in their […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Cody Zeller typically finds points at will. At 7-feet, he can get his shot off against nearly any post defender in the country. For an entire game, Zeller rarely looked for offense. And yet No. 7 Indiana breezed past Penn State 72-49 in spite of Zeller’s career-low […]
