ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky runs out of another endzone with Fernando Mendoza-Ty Simpson take
On October 12, 2008, then-Detroit Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky made one of the most memorable blunders in NFL history when he, facing pressure from Vikings defensive end Jared Allen, ran out of the back of the Lions’ own endzone for a safety. On Tuesday, now-ESPN NFL analyst Orlovsky made a similar blunder when he, facing […]
There are 6 Big Ten teams in the Sweet 16. Here’s how Indiana did against them
If this year’s Sweet 16 feels extra tough to watch, it’s probably because there are a lot of familiar faces. Six of the Big Ten’s 18 teams made it to the second weekend of this year’s March Madness, a testament to just how much talent there was at the top of the league this year. […]
It’s been a decade since Indiana men’s basketball made a Sweet 16. How did we get here?

Breaking down Indiana men’s basketball’s transfer portal needs and wants
Indiana men’s basketball will enter the 2026 offseason in need of… quite a bit in the transfer portal.

Indiana fans express lack of confidence in men’s basketball program with offseason looming
Indiana men’s basketball’s 2025-26 season, the first under head coach Darian DeVries, doesn’t seem to have given Hoosiers fans confidence heading into DeVries’ first full offseason. At least, that’s what the results of a recent survey we ran seem to indicate. Just under half of fans surveyed, or 49%, indicated that they weren’t very confident […]

March Madness 2026: Start time, TV schedule and streaming for Selection Sunday

Is Indiana in? Fans predict results of the 2026 men’s NCAA Tournament bubble
Are you tired of talking about the NCAA Tournament bubble? I certainly am. Unfortunately for us Indiana men’s basketball is still on it and there’s probably a universe in which the Hoosiers do, in fact, receive a bid. Will that happen? Almost certainly not. Indiana collapsed nearly as badly as it could’ve to (likely) close […]

Darian DeVries’ senior-heavy approach falls flat for Indiana men’s basketball in year one
Darian DeVries built his first roster as Indiana’s head coach almost entirely through the transfer portal as the remaining members of Mike Woodson’s final team entered the transfer portal and Trent Sisley affirmed his commitment to the program.
