They’ve landed three commitments as of now, two small forwards and one guard. The Hoosiers pursued multiple centers in the class, but weren’t able to land a commitment. The small forward position […]
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.

Barring a miracle, one that Indiana absolutely does not deserve, Indiana’s men’s basketball’s season came to a close Wednesday night with a loss to Northwestern in the Big Ten Tournament.

If Indiana men’s basketball has made any key statements in Darian DeVries’ first season as head coach it’s that the NCAA absolutely should not expand the Division-I men’s basketball tournament. The Hoosiers entered the second half of February pretty firmly in most projections, with a bye even. They proceeded to lose six of their final […]

Indiana men’s basketball needs some strong performances against Ohio State and in the coming Big Ten Tournament to put itself into good position for an NCAA Tournament bid. The last time a player emerged and helped spark a winning streak was in late January when the Hoosiers beat Rutgers, knocked off Purdue and held on […]
Indiana men’s basketball is set to take on Ohio State on Saturday in Columbus in the final regular season game for both teams.
