BLOOMINGTON — There’s this team I cover, and they do the damndest stuff. See, they lose to a team that is, statistically, one of the worst they’ll play this season. Lose, hell, they get walked on, tooled against the worst ...

BLOOMINGTON — Execution is the common theme that runs through all of basketball. Everything a team wants to do, every goal it wants to achieve, however small or large, specific or grandiose, will be determined by its ability to execute. ...
Watch the postgame comments of Jordan Hulls (13 points, 4-of-4 from the field), Verdell Jones (24 points, 9-of-10 from the field) and Christian Watford (17 points, 10 rebounds) following Indiana’s 80-61 win over Michigan on Saturday at Assembly Hall in ...

Notes on an 88-76 loss to the Eagles: Well, despite the double-digit loss, there were at least some positives tonight, eh? Sure, the Hoosiers came out flat in the first half — running their Verdell Jones-only offense we’ve seen from ...
