IU takes 7-game slide to Minnesota

·

The Hoosier team that squeaked by the Gophers a month ago will not be the one traveling to Minneapolis this weekend. Back in January, the Hoosiers had gone through a three-game winning streak — two of those on the road — before the Gophers came to town. And it had been about two and a half weeks since IU beat Michigan on New Year’s Eve in the Big Ten opener.

Hoosiers pulling positives from loss to Spartans on Tuesday

IU coach Tom Crean stopped mid-sentence when talking about Michigan State point guard Kalin Lucas’ level of competitiveness. “There’s no question he’s a next-level player — All-American, the whole thing,” Crean said after taking a deep breath to start the declaration.

Hoosiers make small strides in loss

The scoreboard might not have shown it — and it was the team’s seventh loss in as many games — but IU took some baby steps in the right direction Tuesday.

IU extends losing streak to seven

The Big Ten was expected to be one of the best conferences this year, and it has lived up to its billing. The Hoosiers, however, aren't helping its prestige.

Hoosiers look to end losing streak against No. 11 Spartans

·

Most of the teams in the Big Ten have had a losing streak this season, but none have had it as bad as IU. As the Hoosiers enter tonight’s contest against the No. 11 Michigan State Spartans — No. 1 in the conference — they will be looking to end a six-game losing streak.

Undefeated season remains untainted

·

For all that is good, honorable and still respectable in today’s college game, hallelujah, an undefeated season is no longer possible for John Calipari’s southern sideshow in Kentucky.

IU needs to overcome internal woes

·

When IU lost to No. 11 Michigan State last March, it was the team’s eighth-straight loss and the 19th in 20 games. Yet after the way the Hoosiers performed against the eventual NCAA Tournament runner-up Spartans this year, there wasn’t much with which to be disappointed.

Hoosiers still trying to find identity

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

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

·

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.
