By CALEB LYNN ISL Correspondent BLOOMINGTON, Ind. __ Indiana beat Minnesota 80-54 on Friday night for their 100th win all time against the Golden Gophers.

By TYLER SMITH (@TylerSmith_ISL) ISL Editor Now that the Hoosiers are officially out of the NCAA tournament conversation, all eyes have shifted towards Athletic Director Fred Glass.

By ANDY PROFFET ISL Correspondent BLOOMINGTON—For the first eight minutes or so, McNeese State was testing Indiana. Like Cowboys coach Dave Simmons pointed out, you’ve got to play 40 minutes. The Hoosiers’ 105-60 victory Saturday night didn’t provide a great tuneup for next Saturday’s Crossroads Classic matchup with Notre Dame. Chances are the Irish will […]
By ANDY PROFFET ISL Correspondent BLOOMINGTON—Indiana’s defensive effort against Duke on Wednesday left a lot to be desired. The Hoosiers got the point. “I think we know our defense needed to get better and really worked on it the past two days,” senior forward Max Bielfeldt said after the Hoosiers’ 92-59 romp over Morehead State […]
