On Saturday, however, the Hoosiers were working together better offensively than in many recent games, as nearly three other players were in double-figure scoring: Troy Williams and Will Sheehey each had 11 […]

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Editor Let’s take a quick look at how the Indiana Hoosiers lost 66-60 to the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday night at Williams Arena. WHY IT HAPPENED: Deandre Mathieu torched the Hoosiers throughout the night and clinched it with a late drive and finish. The diminutive point guard had 16 points and […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Editor BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Tom Crean doesn’t care about winning ugly when it comes to how his Hoosiers look on the basketball court. He doesn’t care if viewers shield their eyes or if things get messy over the course of a 40-minute affair in the Big Ten, just that his players […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Editor BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Yogi Ferrell, the Big Ten’s third-leading scorer, has been ineffective lately at the start of games, and then going to work later on. It was the same story Sunday: He shot 0-for-2 in the opening half and then finished with a team-high 17 points as the Hoosiers […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Editor Here are three observations gleaned from Indiana’s 71-66 loss at Michigan State: 1).

The Wildcats began the year with hopes of a first-ever NCAA tournament berth, then saw a brutal offense quickly put their season on the ropes. Collins delivered a hard message, one that […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Editor BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – After playing 11 minutes against Notre Dame and then 17 against Penn State when Jeremy Hollowell was removed from the rotation, the Hoosiers’ Austin Etherington seemed a likely candidate for a progression of playing time as Indiana figures out a lot of things about its personnel. Indeed, […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Editor BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Hoosiers were up one with 40 seconds to go and the shot clock running down. Evan Gordon dribbled outside. Based on common sense, pretty much everyone at Assembly Hall figured the ball would eventually wind up in the hands of Yogi Ferrell. But the Hoosiers’ star […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Editor As the college basketball season moves along, coaches tend to shorten their rotations as they get a better feel for their rosters and which players deserve more time on the court.
