By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor I’ve never seen anything like this. I never imagined a No. 1-ranked team could lose to an unranked foe with a losing record in league play and stay at the top. Indiana did it. The Hoosiers’ convincing win at Ohio State on Sunday was enough to override the loss to Illinois and […]

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent Let’s take a quick look at how the Indiana Hoosiers pulled off an impressive 81-68 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday afternoon at Value City Arena. WHY IT HAPPENED: Indiana’s frontcourt trio of Victor Oladipo, Christian Watford and Cody Zeller dominated this game almost from start to finish. […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent Luckiest man of the season so far? Tyler Griffey is leading the pack after the free-and-easy layup he stuffed into the final nine-tenths of a second to upset top-ranked Indiana Thursday. On an inbounds play, the Illinois backup broke right to the basket and scored with the closest defender 10 […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent The Indiana Hoosiers left it all on the floor Thursday night. Including, for example, two timeouts. Indiana coach Tom Crean declined to call one with the game tied and his team in possession with 37 seconds left. But then Illinois’ John Groce made the same decision after the Hoosiers’ Victor […]

But it’s time to start talking about the mid-major in Terre Haute. As a Creighton graduate, let’s just say I adjusted my plans a bit […]
By COLLIN O’CONNOR ISL Correspondent Indiana this season has become what some people probably never expected: an elite half-court defensive team and a team that is undefeated on the road, the last remaining team in the Big Ten with that mark. A lot of that has to do with the emergence of Victor Oladipo as […]

From Butler Athletics and ISL staff: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Butler center Andrew Smith and Indiana guard Jordan Hulls have been selected among 10 finalists for the 2012-13 Men’s Basketball Senior CLASS Award. Purdue’s Robbie Hummel won the award last year. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division […]
By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent This time, the rebound careened away from Cody Zeller, instead of right to him. And when the loose ball headed for the other side of the lane in the direction of Nik Stauskas and Trey Burke, Zeller absolutely seemed out of the picture. But Zeller shot forward like an overgrown […]
ISL’s Collin O’Connor lists five keys to tonight’s Michigan-Indiana showdown. 1. Shutdown corner Indiana’s Victor Oladipo has been, up to this point, one of the best defenders in the Big Ten. That can become very critical on Saturday night against Michigan’s potent offensive attack, especially from the wing. Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Nik […]
By DOUG GRIFFITHS ISL Assistant Editor You don’t need anyone to tell you that tonight’s matchup between No. 1 Michigan and No. 3 Indiana should be every college basketball fans’ dream matchup. After all, it’s being dubbed the “Game of the Year” and for good reason. The Wolverines and Hoosiers are a combined 39-3, are […]
