Indiana delivered a stunning upset in East Lansing, defeating Michigan State 71-67 to delay Tom Izzo's bid to break Bob Knight's all-time Big Ten wins record. The Hoosiers showed impressive resilience and toughness, particularly in the second half behind Malik Reneau's 16 points after intermission. The win ended a difficult stretch for the program and demonstrated what this team is capable of when playing together for 40 minutes.Indiana's effective use of zone defense and balanced scoring helped overcome Michigan State's home court advantage, with Reneau (19 points, 12 rebounds) and Oumar Ballo (14 points, 10 rebounds) leading the way. The victory required clutch free throw shooting down the stretch, as every Hoosier who played scored and attempted at least one free throw in a true team effort.Key topics analyzed:Indiana's defensive adjustment to more zone looks proving highly effectiveMalik Reneau's dominant second half performance after coming off the benchThe Hoosiers' improved late-game execution, particularly at the free throw lineMental toughness shown bouncing back from early deficit to control middle portion of gameBetter offensive balance and ball movement leading to quality shotsCritical road win to snap recent losing streak in dramatic fashionPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana put together one of its better performances of the season but ultimately came up short in an 81-76 loss at #10 Purdue. The Hoosiers led by as many as seven points in the first half and showed tremendous resilience in the second half, responding to a Purdue run with a 12-0 spurt of their own to retake the lead. However, the Boilermakers made enough plays down the stretch to secure the victory -- and Indiana made enough mistakes to ensure defeat.Mackenzie Mgbako led IU with 25 points in perhaps his best game as a Hoosier, while Trey Galloway added 16 points and sparked the second-half comeback. The five-man group of Mgbako, Galloway, Luke Goode, Anthony Leal and Umar Ballo played nearly the entire second half and showed tremendous fight, though fatigue may have been a factor late.Key Talking Points:Strong defensive effort limiting Purdue to 2-13 from three-point range20 turnovers prove costly, leading to 26 Purdue pointsBench contributes 28 points behind Galloway and GoodeLittle production from starters Myles Rice (0 points) and Malik Reneau (3 points)Final possession execution costs IU chance at potential game-tying shotPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Hoosiers fail to get over the hump at Mackey! Malik Reneau did not start himself in either half, but his presence on the floor was not positive for IU.

Indiana continued its frustrating pattern of inconsistency on Tuesday night, falling 79-70 at Northwestern for their fifth straight loss to the Wildcats. After building a six-point halftime lead with an 18-2 run to close the first half, IU's defense completely fell apart after intermission as Northwestern scored 54 second-half points on a blistering 62.5% shooting.While Indiana showed brief signs of life with a 10-0 second-half run to take a 52-49 lead, Northwestern responded with a devastating 21-4 run that effectively ended any hopes of IU's first win in Evanston since 2019. The loss drops Indiana to 14-6 (5-4 B1G).Key Talking Points:• Northwestern torched IU's defense for 1.69 points per possession in the second half• Four Wildcats (Barnheizer, Martinelli, Barry, Leach) combined for 77 of Northwestern's 79 points• IU's offense remained overly reliant on contested mid-range jumpers while Northwestern generated clean looks• Malik Reneau showed significant rust in his return, going 0-6 in 11 limited minutes• Another game defined by IU's inability to sustain positive momentum when taking leadsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana's concerning trend of lopsided losses continued in Lincoln, as the Hoosiers fell to Nebraska 85-68 in a game that spotlighted many of this team's persistent issues, particularly on the defensive end.The Hoosiers showed flashes of improved play and modern offensive principles in stretches, including battling back from early deficits in each half to make it a one-point game with seven minutes remaining. However, as has happened far too often under Mike Woodson, Indiana collapsed down the stretch as Nebraska closed on a 17-1 run.Key topics discussed and analyzed in the postgame show include:Indiana's defensive struggles, as they allowed Nebraska to shoot over 61% and score 1.25 points per possessionThe unusual shot distribution, with IU attempting 35 three-pointers while post players Malik Reneau and Oumar Ballo combined for just 10 shotsMyles Rice's impressive 20-point performance, including a crucial run where he scored 13 straight points that kept Indiana in the game (temporarily)Luke Goode's continued emergence as an energy player and leader despite the team's strugglesConcerning trends about IU's ability to compete for 40 minutes on the roadQuestions about whether this team's defensive issues can be fixed given both scheme and personnel limitationsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana's 76-57 victory over Miami (OH) displayed both the team's immense potential when locked in and lingering concerns about consistency. The Hoosiers built an early lead, let Miami back in, then pulled away late behind strong performances from their frontcourt. Omar Ballo's dominant 18-rebound, 6-assist effort and Malik Reneau's efficient 19-point performance highlighted IU's size advantage, but 16 turnovers and defensive communication issues remain worrisome with Big Ten play approaching. Mike Woodson emphasized the need to clean up defensive switches and maintain better focus throughout games.Other key storylines discussed:A tale of two halves, with IU outscoring Miami 37-21 after halftimeTrey Galloway's improved three-point shooting (3-4) and overall steady playMyles Rice's efficient 17-point performance despite some turnover issuesMackenzie Mgbako's struggles (4 points) and the challenge of staying engaged when shots aren't fallingStrong bench contributions, particularly from Luke Goode who provided energy and hustle playsPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Anthony Leal had the best game of his IU career scoring 13 points off the bench while Kel'el Ware led the team with 23 points.IU took the lead for good at 69-68 on a Gabe Cupps three-pointer in the final two minutes. This was after Iowa's Payton Sandfort gave the Hawkeyes the advantage on a ridiculous fade away jumper in the corner as the shot clock was expiring.
