Hoosiers still trying to find identity

By DeAntae Prince · Monday, Feb. 15,2010 9:44 p.m.

IU coach Tom Crean is still teaching. Instead of letting his team pack it in during games such as IU’s 83-55 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday, Crean has pushed the team through the losses.

IU hits historically low losing streak

By DeAntae Prince · Monday, Feb. 15,2010 1:08 a.m.

One of IU coach Tom Crean’s favorite lines explains the unprecedented circumstances he incurred when coming to Bloomington. It’s a true statement. No IU men’s basketball coach has ever had to assemble a team from scratch the way Crean has in the past two seasons. But different faces on media guides aren’t the only new thing to hit campus.

Tough stint awaits Hoosiers, starting at Wisconsin

By DeAntae Prince · Friday, Feb. 12,2010 1:04 a.m.

IU recently lost its fifth consecutive game but now embarks on a stretch tougher than any other this season. It starts with a 2 p.m. game against the No. 11 Badgers on Saturday in Madison, Wis. Competition within the Big Ten so far has shaken up the young team IU coach Tom Crean called “fragile” Wednesday night.

Hoosiers enter uphill stretch with little rest

By Jordan Cohen · Thursday, Feb. 11,2010 11:39 p.m.

After falling to No. 13 Ohio State on Wednesday, IU will play at No. 11 Wisconsin on Saturday and No. 10 Michigan State at home Tuesday.  Outside of the Big East Conference’s Providence Friars — currently in the middle of a four-game stretch consisting of No. 7 Georgetown, No. 4 Villanova, No. 5 West Virginia and No. 2 Syracuse — no other team in the country is facing a tougher span of games than the Hoosiers. But while Providence is facing the Murderers’ Row of the Big East during a 15-day period, IU’s difficult three-game stretch is taking place in a week’s time.

Buckeyes roll past Hoosiers

By DeAntae Prince · Thursday, Feb. 11,2010 12:37 a.m.

Basketball isn’t known as a contact sport, and the more passive team lost in IU’s 69-52 faltering against Ohio State on Wednesday. Similar to the first contest on Jan. 6 in Columbus, Ohio, IU struggled against the larger, more physical Buckeyes.

Hoosiers outplayed in big loss

By Jordan Cohen · Wednesday, Feb. 10,2010 11:52 p.m.

The NBA All-Star Game 2010 Weekend won’t begin until Friday, but Wednesday’s IU and Ohio State game at Assembly Hall had the looks of it. There was plenty of dunking – alley-oops, two-handed flushes and a near-perfect windmill attempt by Ohio State’s William Buford. There were a fair amount of 3-pointers shot.

OSU walk-on, blogger makes return to Assembly Hall

By Jordan Cohen · Tuesday, Feb. 9,2010 11:13 p.m.

This year’s Ohio State squad (18-6), currently ranked No. 13 in the country, has just a single Indiana native. And while this particular player has earned just 47 minutes in four years, he might be the most well-known Buckeye of them all.

Freshman guard Matt Roth hugs junior guard Devan Dumes, left, and freshman guard Verdell Jones, right, following the Hoosiers 68-60 win over Iowa Wednesday night at Assembly Hall. The win ended an 11 game losing streak and was the Hoosiers first Big Ten victory.

Hoosier guard ready for second chance

By Zina Kumok · Tuesday, Feb. 9,2010 11:06 p.m.

Before every home game, he is there.  On the same court where he shot 9-of-11 and scored 29 points against Ohio State. On the same court where he lost 10 games and won five. On the same court where this season he hoped to help the Hoosiers return to national prominence. He is in the same huddle, among the same candy-striped wearing teammates he played with, some for a whole season, some for only two games.

After IU dropped a 58-43 contest to Iowa on Jan. 24, something changed. Both IU coach Tom Crean and his players alike spoke about the team’s quality practices and its renewed focus and belief since the home loss.

Northwestern's deep shooting buries IU

By DeAntae Prince · Sunday, Feb. 7,2010 11:48 p.m.

IU knew the Wildcats were shooting 36 percent from 3-point range as a team going into its Sunday contest in Evanston, Ill. The Hoosiers had also been prepped on the movement of their offense, based largely on back cuts resulting in easy layups. The scouting report didn’t matter Sunday.
