Big. Shot. Rob. The whole gang is back to break down IU men’s basketball and their massive victory over Purdue. William has a metaphor, Jack has a bad take, this episode has it all.…
Streaks are meant to be snapped just like records are meant to be broken. Indiana just didn’t know when it would happen. Having lost nine straight games to Purdue, Jan. 20, 2022 will be remembered in a number of ways. It could go down as the “Rob Phinisee game” after…
We are officially at the halfway point of the Indiana basketball season. Fifteen games are down, and 15 are on the horizon as Mike Woodson continues his first season back at his alma mater. IU stands at 12-3, with a 3-2 record in the Big Ten, and a respectable 23rd…
While it was not the season opening blowout the Hoosiers wanted, they most importantly showed resilience over Eastern Michigan. They won a challenge, 68-62. While it may not have been the one they expected, it was a challenge. When it seemed like Eagles guard Noah Farrakhan was making everything he…

Indiana basketball is a different team when Rob Phinisee and Jerome Hunter are at their best. For most of the season, one of the two, if not both, have struggled with maintaining consistency, leaving a continual gap in Indiana’s scoring options and ultimately leading to some extra losses. On Wednesday,…
Bad habits are difficult to break for anyone, and especially so for Indiana basketball. The Hoosiers’ same struggle of finishing close games down the stretch is beginning to sound like a broken record, but it is still just as true in Indiana’s 75-71 overtime home loss to No. 12 Illinois.…
In a year where postponements and cancelations are commonplace, Indiana basketball is in the midst of its second extended layoff of the season. The Hoosiers have nine days between their most recent game — Sunday, Jan. 24 against Rutgers — to this Tuesday when the Hoosiers will host No. 19…
