By CHRIS GOFF ISL Assistant Editor INDIANAPOLIS – Back in snowy Central Indiana, the only soil he’d ever known until four months ago, and suiting up in the arena where he won three state titles in high school, Cody Zeller’s mind wandered back to schoolwork. Here it was mid-December, and his former Indiana University teammates […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Assistant Editor BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Written in block lettering high on a wall of one of the Hoosiers’ meeting rooms at Memorial Stadium are traits any coach would want to see in his team: ‘relentless,’ ‘fearless,’ ‘loyal,’ ‘honest,’ ‘accountable,’ ‘unselfish’ and ‘confident.’ Coach Kevin Wilson readily applies those terms to his […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Assistant Editor BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Evan Gordon didn’t do any shakes or shimmies or jigs on Tuesday night. He didn’t hurl any trash talk at his hapless defenders. And no, Gordon didn’t anoint himself the second coming of his brother after the final buzzer had sounded. He let his play do […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Assistant Editor BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – How does a freshman launch his career with six double-doubles in nine games? To Indiana coach Tom Crean, it’s pretty amazing. “We’ve got an 18-year-old out there getting double-doubles, playing with a relentless fervor,” Crean said. Hoosiers star Noah Vonleh continued his tear on Saturday by […]

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Assistant Editor The Indiana Hoosiers’ season essentially ended when Tevin Coleman juggled and dropped a game-losing lateral against Minnesota on Nov. 2. After starting 3-2, the Hoosiers ended the season 2-5, including five losses in a six-game stretch that turned a once-promising bowl-bound campaign into a disappointing 5-7 showing. As final […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Assistant Editor Let’s take a quick look at how the Indiana Hoosiers fell 69-52 to the Syracuse Orange on Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Assistant Editor BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Purdue coach Darrell Hazell didn’t know where to start. Maybe the most points ever allowed by Purdue against Indiana. Maybe the Boilermakers’ worst loss since 1988 in a heated in-state rivalry. Maybe a defense shredded for an unthinkable 56 points, 42 first downs, 401 yards rushing, […]
