Indiana basketball

With graduating seniors, NBA Draft potential and the transfer portal, Indiana's roster will look much different in year three under coach Mike Woodson.

Freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino looks to drive March 19, 2023, at MVP Arena in Albany, New York. Miami defeated Indiana 85-69. By Emma Pawlitz.

And soon, for Woodson and those who choose to stick with him, it won’t be long before it’s time to start piecing back together the puzzle of Indiana men’s basketball. We’re not the heaviest team. We’re not the tallest team. Desire, fight, grit and motivation weren’t the problem. The Hoosiers surrendered 20 offensive rebounds and 29 second-chance points. "We’re not the biggest team. The former is a center’s league, focusing on pounding the ball inside to strong, explosive post players. “It kind of makes them expand their defense a little bit; they’ve got a principle of trying to pack the paint. With every full-court pressure trap Indiana threw, Miami weaved its way around for a wide-open dunk on the other end. He worked his way through the lane over multiple Miami defenders, drawing a handful of fouls in the process. The No. What one lacks in post play, the other makes up for in an All-American power forward.

Everything you need to know about the Hoosiers' NCAA tournament matchup with the Hurricanes.

They were down 17 at the half but mounted a furious comeback thanks to big runs in the third and fourth quarters. The Hoosiers played that one on cruise control, and they did so without Mackenzie Holmes, who dressed but did not play due to knee soreness. The Hoosiers top-four seed status earned them the right to serve as a host during the tournament’s first weekend but the Sweet Sixteen and beyond will be held at neutral sites.

Miami celebrated the win appropriately, but refocused to face one of the best teams in the country. It’s a great blessing to have, that people in the stands that bring us so much energy and enthusiasm, and they’re smart. Fans are gonna come out and support teams that win and have success and we’ve been able to do that and so I’m not not surprised by it. As IU celebrated that victory, Holmes memorably bolted up the bleachers, high-fiving students on the way up as her teammates followed behind. She expects her standout forward to be able to play, but said that her minutes would depend on how she’s feeling — both in terms of her injury and her conditioning. IU won its first-ever Big Ten title on senior day against Purdue, in front of the first sellout crowd in program history. I feel like our defense is going to be what we focus on a lot, and I think that we’re ready to do that.” But they flipped the game around in the third quarter with a 20-7 advantage, significantly cutting into the deficit. But that need never arrived, as freshman Lilly Meister and graduate student Alyssa Geary filled in admirably and the Hoosiers pulled away by halftime. The forward was available in a limited capacity, if needed, as she battled knee soreness. Holmes said after Saturday’s game that her status for Monday would depend on how she’s feeling on game day. 16 seed Tennessee Tech on Saturday in the first round, despite first team All-American Mackenzie Holmes not playing.

There’s more basketball to be played tonight from Teri Moren’s programs and plenty of updates to write in the coming weeks. Kaleb Banks logged a few key minutes in the latter half of the season while Malik Reneau grew into his own in a reserve role for Thompson and Jackson-Davis. Between his roof-raising dunks and his leadership, he was a centerpiece for both the fanbase and the team itself. That’s a lot of production to replace, so expect the transfer portal to come into play. He didn’t have to, could’ve rode off into the sunset and worked his way up in the NBA, but he did. Led by second year head coach Mike Woodson and star Trayce Jackson-Davis, the Hoosiers gave the team and fanbase plenty of memories.

ALBANY, N.Y. — In a single file line, Indiana's Race Thompson, Miller Kopp and Trayce Jackson-Davis walked out of Indiana's locker room.

The coaches, fans and players all care. Jackson-Davis didn’t just leave his legacy in the record books, he left it in the hearts of everyone who counted on him, saw him play and raised the roof after a big dunk in Assembly Hall. This year they were a lock and a four-seed. But on a season-ending loss, the “hows” and “whys” don’t carry much weight. To have the Indiana fans on your back and just cheering for you and giving them hope. People might remember that for the next couple of days. and I know this guy right next to me (Mike Woodson) is gonna make sure that things stay in the right direction.” The game is a story in itself. Over the past two years, Kopp, Thompson and Jackson-Davis have grown and changed. The person feels more important than the player. — In a single file line, Indiana’s Race Thompson, Miller Kopp and Trayce Jackson-Davis walked out of Indiana’s locker room. He stood in the corner opposite of Indiana’s bench and slowly walked off the floor.

A right ankle injury against Duke didn't hold back Norchad Omier for long, and guard Isaiah Wong continued to be a dominant player.

The Hoosiers will play their final game at Assembly Hall for the season.

But the Hurricanes answered by getting the ball to Harden in the paint, who faced up against Berger. But it turned into a metaphorical boxing match in the fourth quarter, in a tight game that saw both teams hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. Grace Berger came out and opened the quarter with a three-pointer, quickly followed by a defensive stop, and then another Berger layup. The Hurricanes were hitting their open shots, but also tough, contested looks, and they responded in big moments when the crowd came alive. Both teams traded big shots in the fourth quarter, but it was the Hoosiers who ultimately came up on the wrong end. The Hurricanes built a double-digit lead during the first quarter, and IU was unable to cut into it for very long.

But as she gazed from one block of empty seats to the next, her appreciation for her short time in Bloomington was evident. For Moren, Holmes, Berger and everyone involved in the program, it will likely take some time to recover. She stepped to the free-throw line, took a few dribbles and sunk her first attempt. Whether we didn’t communicate the way we needed to on a switch, whether we went under a ball screen, that was not our gameplan.” React to the loss as you wish. The 8-point hole felt more akin to a giant well, but to the Hoosiers credit, they fought. But a questionable offensive possession in which Berger put up a contested floater bailed out the Hurricanes and yanked them right back into contention. Holmes was completely stifled in the first half, but her 18 second half points spearheaded a comeback that fell just short. Most importantly, each saw the farewell of Hoosier greats that ushered in a new era of Indiana basketball: senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis for the No. But now, the pairing’s third March Madness run has come to a close. It’s hard to script a worse 24 hours for the Hoosier state. Each saw one team pouncing on loose balls and boxing out for rebounds with tenacity, and the other seemingly flustered by the physicality.
