  1. IU Basketball: Who is leaving? Who is staying?

    It's clearly a question on the minds of most Indiana basketball fans now that the 2015-16 season has come to an end. Of the players with eligibility remaining, who will be in an Indiana uniform come the fall of 2016? Here is my take.

  3. Analysis: It was a bad loss but goals are still ahead of the Hoosiers

    As bad as the loss to Penn State was Saturday night, the reality is that if IU beats Iowa on Thursday it will still be no worse than tied for first in the conference after 12 games.

  5. Analysis: It was a bad night to be a non-IU Big Ten basketball fan

    This was supposed to have been a reality check game for Indiana Basketball. Instead, the Hoosiers turned it into a statement game. And that statement was that these Hoosiers are for real.

  6. Analysis: IU is 8-1 in Big Ten play and Hoosier fans still feeling uneasy

    Indiana will head into the second half of the conference Tuesday no worse than tied for first place in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers have won 13 of their last 14 games and are among the top 20 teams in the nation. And yet IU fans are a little worried as the back heavy portion of the schedule is about to begin. Here's my take.

  7. Analysis: Wisconsin shows why you shouldn't get too far ahead of yourself with Indiana's schedule

    Indiana was careless with the basketball Tuesday night. It didn't hit the offensive glass, had zero second chance points and its best shooters struggled from beyond the 3-point line. But the bottom line was that Indiana was able to come away with a 59-58 victory over Wisconsin to win its eighth game in a row. Here's my analysis as to why this IU team in particular -- and its fan base, too -- needs to take it one game at a time.

  8. Analysis: IU-Rutgers ... Well, that was interesting

    Indiana was lucky Wednesday that it played Rutgers in the Big Ten opener. I'm not sure how many other Big Ten teams the Hoosiers could have beaten with that performance. Here is my analysis of IU's 79-72 victory.

  11. Analysis: It was just Morehead State but ...

    Indiana looked better on the defensive end Saturday night. As you would expect the Hoosiers to do. But the most important thing I took from the win over Morehead State is that Indiana at least looked as if it was taking a little pride in what it was doing and tried to play together as a defensive unit. And that's a start.

    I didn't expect Indiana to beat Duke Wednesday night. But I didn't expect the Hoosiers to roll over and play dead either. Here is my take following a disappointing effort in a 94-74 loss to No. 7 Duke in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

  15. Analysis: Letting it slip away in Maui

    This was supposed to have been a measuring stick trip for Indiana in Maui this week as it was expected to face teams like Vanderbilt, UCLA and Kansas. Instead, IU's belly flop Monday night against Wake Forest will be a tough pill to swallow.

  23. Analysis: My thoughts on the Grant Gelon commitment

    There seems to be a lot of conversation about Indiana's first commit in the 2016 men's basketball class. Good pick up, or big time reach? Myself, I think the positives may outweigh the negatives. But it's close.
