A Season to Remember: Shop Indiana Hoosiers football championship merch
Indiana football’s run to the 2025 National Championship was full of memorable plays from the 12-0 performance in the regular season to the incredible showing in the College Football Playoff.

Looking for insight into Indiana men’s basketball’s future? Watch the wings
There will soon come a day when the Upstairs Pub and Buffalouies no longer serve the most hotly pursued wings in Bloomington.

Indiana men’s basketball: The overtime thriller that didn’t have to happen
Indiana men’s basketball deserves all the credit for its gutsy, one-point, 2OT victory at UCLA.

All of that can be true while acknowledging that there was […]
3 Takeaways from Indiana men’s basketball’s thrilling 2OT win at UCLA
If I were to look at a box score to see that Tucker DeVries and Lamar Wilkerson combined to go 4-15 from 3-point range, as they did tonight, I would have assumed Indiana would have lost the game handily. The Hoosiers have had scoring balance at their best, but it’s usually involved at least one […]

With a national title, Indiana resets the Big Ten’s football hierarchy
Indiana spent the entirety of its existence right around the bottom of the ladder in college football as a whole, let alone the Big Ten. No programs lost quite like the Hoosiers, who did so more than any other teams in the conference before being passed by Northwestern this past season. Gridiron grief was a […]

Nick Dorn gave Indiana a spark. Darian DeVries must return the favor
Indiana men’s basketball was going to have its ups and downs this season.

So it wasn’t exactly surprising when the Hoosiers […]

Indiana men’s basketball is set to take on UCLA on Saturday at the Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles for a battle of the Big Ten’s two premier blue bloods.
