Back to the Indiana Hoosiers Newsfeed

In five months, Indiana basketball and football have been turned completely upside down. That might be a good thing.

All gas, no brakes.

Back when Indiana basketball had first returned to college basketball relevance, enjoying a #1 ranking for a large part of the season and playing an up-tempo, high-wire style of basketball that allowed players to push the pace at the expense of some mistakes. The transaction, despite complaints to the contrary, often resulted in overwhelmingly positive returns (four seasons ended in the top-10 for offensive efficiency) and it became Indiana's identity. The Hoosiers could rarely be stopped from scoring, but they consistently struggled to keep their opponents from doing the same (one top-25 defensive efficiency season).
