Hoosiers pound Purdue
IU took an early lead and never looked back Wednesday afternoon during their 9-1 victory against Purdue in their first Big Ten Tournament game. A leadoff home run by senior Chris Hervey in the bottom of the first began the onslaught of run support to come for junior pitcher Eric Arnett. The Hoosiers scored a run in the third and fourth and then poured it on in the fifth and capitalized on a Boilermaker error to lead off the inning.

Hoosier honors keep rolling
Eric Arnett. Matt Bashore. Josh Phegley. Their names just keep on appearing, and so do new awards. But a new name was added to the award's list. Freshman Alex Dickerson led all conference freshman with his 14 longballs and 52 RBI to earn him Big Ten Freshman of the year honor.

Twitter War: Crean vs. Cal
Thanks for the comments on my scouting report of Teague and Ferguson. There was one in particular that asked me to allude on why Kentucky's John Calipari has a much greater Twitter following than IU's Tom Crean.

Which Hoosier hurler, slugger deserves MVP?
Leading up to the Big Ten Tournament, here are my thoughts. Pitchers Matt Bashore and Eric Arnett along with catcher Josh Phegley have all been honored in the last day - Bashore with Big Ten player of the Week honors, Arnett as one of 15 semifinalists named for the College Baseball Foundation's National Pitcher of the Year honor, and Phegley as one of 13 semifinalists for the nation's top catcher's award, the Coleman Company Johnny Bench award. So which one of these juniors, if any, do you think should earn MVP?

Bashore earns conference honor
In case you missed it, Matt Bashore pitched one hell of a game, or better yet one hell of a May. Beating Michigan State Friday 6-1, Bashore pitched a near-flawless game.

Dominique Ferguson: IU attractive because of location
Lawrence North forward Dominique Ferguson told Sean today that he likes IU because the location would make it easy for his parents to attend games, opening a door for Hoosier fans looking for big-name commitments in the 2010 class. The consensus five-star recruit, who says his versatility is his greatest strength, was once committed to Kentucky, but reopened the process when Billy Gillespie left Lexington.

Deshaun Thomas, he of Ft. Wayne, Bishop Luers and many the recruiting wishlist, reaffirmed his commitment to Thad Matta and Ohio State, according to friend of the Basketblog Ryan Gregg. "I like the teachers, the campus and I like coach Thad Matta," Thomas told reporters. Thomas committed to OSU early in high school but was one of a handful of top recruits IU fans hoped might be shaken loose of early commitments by Tom Crean's arrival.
