Instant Postgame Reaction: IU @ PSU

The early afternoon start had both teams off to a slow start, but it didn’t take long for them to heat up. Zeller was scoring easily inside against man coverage, so Penn State moved to a zone and Indiana shot threw the zone from three point range as any team that leads the nation in three-point field goal percentage should. However, this was a game of runs. Indiana and PSU traded runs, but Indiana had the worst five-man lineup in the game with Prichard, Roth, Moore, Oladipo, and a struggling Watford. It worries me a little bit that Indiana is not looking to go inside as much as they did in the...

MVP, So Far

What a game.  Before tip-off, I tweeted out that though IU was favored, I thought this Michigan game could be a trap game.  Well, as much of a trap game as the number 12 ranked team in the country can have facing the number 13 ranked team.  Michigan has shooters, and they proved it.  In the second half as time was winding down, it seemed that for every basket IU was making, Michigan was in transition that ended with Zack Novak draining a three pointer.  You've got to give Michigan their due; they came into Assembly Hall and almost squeaked out of there with a...

Immediate Reaction: Michigan Edition

Rapid Reactions:By: Brian HallMan that first half was fun to watch! Victor Oladipo got off to a fast start behind his great defense and quick transitions. I had a feeling before the tip-off that Victor was going to have a big game. He did not let me down!Indiana built an early lead behind Christian Watford's shooting and Michigan's inability to hit a three pointer. Watford looked like a man determined to prove to Calipari and all of the Kentucky fans that there was nothing lucky about the game winning shot! Cody Zeller played some quality defense along with a very efficient offensive showing....

Hoo's Next: Michigan

Who: Michigan Wolverines Where: Assembly Hall, Bloomington Indiana When: Thursday January 5, 2012 @ 9:00pm ET TV: ESPN 2By: Aaron Maisel As I put my blazer, my new Sperry’s and corduroy pants on three hours before embracing the new year, I did it with a smile. Not just because I was looking fresh and knew that I would find some random girl for that immaculate New Years “interaction” that I have been banking on, but because somehow that team who no one was willing to give a chance until 2012-13 season...

Is IU's 13-1 Start a Fluke?

Let me begin by saying I would like to think I am a realistic Hoosier fan. I try my hardest not to get my emotions wrapped up in my analysis and expectations for the season. Last year I had the Hoosiers winning 14 games and missing the NIT. The year before, I thought we'd win 10 games. Without Maurice Creek's injury, I'd like to think I was pretty close to predicting our seasons. This year, according to the chart below, I had us at 21-10 which would put us on the Bubble for March Madness. ...

Hoosiers Land a Big Fisch

By Brent Boles (@Slumpbusting) Indiana received its third class of 2013 commitment from Germantown, Wisconsin big man Luke Fischer. Fischer pledged his commitment to Tom Cream and the Hoosiers after making the trip to Bloomington with his family to witness IU defeat Ohio State 74-70 on New Year's Eve. What exactly does Fischer's commitment mean for the Hoosiers? For one it means front court depth. IU fans are hopeful that when the high school junior arrives in Bloomington in 2 years that Cody Zeller will still be donning candy stripes, and Fischer will serve as a viable backup. Worst case...

Happy Hoo Year!

What better way to bring in the new year than another top ten list?  It would be my pleasure, Hoosier Nation. Top Ten New Year's Resolutions for Hoosiers Basketball 10. Feed Cody. Literally, feed the boy!  Understand that he's only a freshman, and still growing, but just imagine if he put on another 25 pounds.  He'd be around 245, still getting taller than the 6'11" he already is, plus a year of experience in the always tough and physical Big Ten.  It's the recipe for domination in his future.  Along with putting on weight, he needs to be fed the rock more often.  He's...
