Mauled at Mackey: Hoosiers lose, 74-55

·

Regardless of the odds it faced in the past two seasons, this Hoosier squad never seemed intimidated. That changed during the first trip to Mackey Arena in the Tom Crean’s era as IU coach in a 74-55 loss Wednesday.

IU falls at Purdue, 74-55

With a 74-55 loss at Purdue on Wednesday night, IU set an historic low with its 11th-straight conference defeat, longest in school history. And just as the final score resembled those of last year with another double-digit deficit, the play up to the final horn prompted flashbacks.

Historic streak or upset on line at Purdue

When the Hoosiers take on the No. 7 Purdue Boilermakers today, it will see a team that handed it a heartbreaking 78-75 loss at Assembly Hall in early February. This time though, the team’s fiercest rival will be without its star forward, Robbie Hummel.

Purdue remains tough despite loss of Hummel

·

The identity of the Boilermakers changed the moment Purdue forward Robbie Hummel tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a drive across the lane at Minnesota on Feb. 24. IU’s in-state rival had lost its best outside shooter, playmaker and one of its top rebounders. When IU travels to West Lafayette, it will not see the same team from Feb. 4.

'Pressing' need for change

The story goes that it once rained for 40 days and 40 nights.  But it’s been 41 days since IU’s last victory, as one-by-one the Hoosiers have been hit by a storm of losses ever since the Jan. 21 victory at Penn State.

IU its own worst enemy in defeat

·

On Saturday, IU coach Tom Crean told members of the media that “statistics accuse; the film convicts.” Following the Wisconsin loss, the team went through a film session in which individual players were asked to call out their own mistakes. Crean might have his team do the same following IU’s 73-57 loss at Iowa, but this team seems guilty until proven innocent.

IU drops 10th straight with loss

IOWA CITY, Iowa — It all began here. The first game of this 10-game losing streak began against Iowa on Jan. 24, but it wouldn’t end there. IU dropped its 13th conference game Sunday, losing 73-57 on the road against the Hawkeyes.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — It might be impossible to make Iowa look better than it did against IU on Sunday night.A team scrapping for wins every week, the Hoosiers made the Hawkeyes look like the best team in the Big Ten — and them some.The 73-57 loss came for a bunch who seemed overwhelmed with a Hawkeye group that has never been confused with anything resembling the Big Ten’s finest.

Watford: 'I guess we overlooked them'

IU was 9-9 before Iowa. It now sits stagnant at 9-18, approaching a conference-loss record that dates back to the 1943-44 season. Not since that year has IU been defeated in 10 straight Big Ten games.

IU's film reveals streaky behavior

IU coach Tom Crean and his players went through tape in preparation for Sunday’s 6 p.m. game against Iowa. Judging from the results of IU’s past nine games, one could guess it wasn’t pretty.

IU approaches its worst Big Ten losing streak

Too much went wrong, too soon. Like so many previous losses, this one happened quickly. Thursday’s 78-46 loss to Wisconsin marked IU’s worst loss in Assembly Hall, a stretch of 39 years.

Wisconsin downs IU, 78-46

The Hoosiers were looking for a streak-stopper, but after a lackluster performance against the Badgers, their historically-long losing streak has reached nine games after a 78-46 loss.

In time, Hoosiers should be fine

·

Many of you are probably upset with how the Hoosiers are playing, especially of late. You might be frustrated with the players. You might be frustrated with Crean. But if anyone expected a quick fix in Crean’s attempt to right the S.S. Hoosier ship through these “uncharted waters,” then you’ve gone off the deep end.

Lack of depth key to IU losses

·

IU is missing lots of weapons — a sharpshooter, a big man and a leader. Even coach Tom Crean, who said his eyesight has deteriorated since joining the Hoosiers, can see that. But the team is missing something bigger than one individual: depth.
