Indiana faces Oregon for the second time in nine days, this time in the Big Ten Tournament — Key stats, players, matchups, metrics and tendencies to know ahead of this afternoon. #iubb Scouting Notes: hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

Indiana has ‘everybody bought into what we want to do’ as postseason play begins. It may have taken a while to get to this point, but this group has its identity — toughness — and is ready to ‘win games when it’s ugly’. #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

Current odds to win the Big Ten Tournament, per @DKSportsbook: Michigan State +250 Maryland: +350 Wisconsin: +650 UCLA: +650 Purdue: +650 Illinois: +750 Michigan: +1200 Oregon +2800 #iubb: +6000

What does Indiana need to do for a deep run in the Big Ten Tournament? Here are some of the keys for the Hoosiers. #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/3-keys-to-a-...

ICYMI -- Mike Woodson just wants ‘the program to be successful’ and as he walked off the Assembly Hall floor one final time, he did so a winner -- as another chapter of his IU basketball career comes to a close. #iubb Story: hoosierillustrated.com/mike-woodson...

Indiana basketball has its true identity — toughness. And now ‘everybody is all bought into what we want to do’ going into postseason play. #iubb Story: hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

“They refused to lose” — After everything the program has been through this year, Indiana needed a signature moment. It got just that against Purdue, and keeps its NCAA Tournament hopes alive as a result. #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

Final: #Iubb 73, Purdue 58 -- box score, expanded stats, metrics, analytics and more. hoosierillustrated.com/hoosier-illu...

As dominant a half as you'll see. Indiana looked dead and out and came out with the type of energy and effort that it hadn't shown all year. Absolutely tremendous performance in the second half for IU in a game it had to have. #iubb

Indiana playing to just run out the clock over the last few possessions -- way too much time to do that. Some nervy energy on the floor. Need to continue to stay in attack mode and put the game away. #iubb

21-3 run for Indiana coming out of the half. Continue to make life difficult on Braden Smith and back to playing with tremendous energy and effort on both ends. #iubb

Malik Reneau's patience and passing out of the double-teams hasn't always been there throughout his career. Today has been an entirely different story. Showing terrific vision and understanding of where the double is coming from and where the open teammate will be. #Iubb

- Indiana with 4 points in final 8:39 ... now at just .833 pts per possession - 11 to 4 pts off TOs for Purdue, even with one more turnover than IU - 15 point edge for Purdue on 3s - 8-0 fast break edge for Purdue - Indiana had its chances ... Half: Purdue 37, #iubb 25

Purdue ends the half on a 21-4 run over the final 8:39. IU goes just 2-of-11 from the floor in that span. #iubb

Indiana hasn't scored in over 4 minutes -- with some head-scratching lineups during that time -- and Purdue in the middle of a 12-0 run to take control. Critically important final segment for IU coming up before the half. #iubb

Easy to be critical of how this team has opened games for the majority of the season, but Indiana playing with the most energy, pride and effort this season thus far, in what is obviously an extremely important game. #iubb

#iubb starters vs Purdue - and it's quite the change. F- Malik Reneau F- Luke Goode G- Anthony Leal G- Trey Galloway G- Myles Rice

While Indiana knows what will happen once the season ends, it doesn’t know exactly how or when it will end. So the goal? It’s simple, the NCAA Tournament — “I think it would be a hell of a thing if we can accomplish that in these last five games.” #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/its-simple-f...

“Luke has been our constant guy” — If Indiana is going to find any late season magic over the final five games, it will almost certainly include Luke Goode making shots, and plays — something he’s done consistently all season long. #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/in-a-season-...

“It’s still my job to get them over the hump” — Lack of late game execution continues to haunt Indiana basketball in conference play. #iubb Story: hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

Good teams know how to answer runs and put teams away. No matter what Indiana has done, UCLA has had some sort of an answer. Late game execution at its finest. #iubb

- IU needs to push the pace … can’t win this in 1/2 court - 2/13 on 3s — IU is going to continue to have open looks - IU -13 in bench points … need something out of Myles Rice if IU wins this game - Goes without saying but a healthy Mgbako is critical Half: UCLA 35, #iubb 25

Indiana talked all offseason about pushing the pace and running in the open floor — there’s no better time to do it than against UCLA. You rarely get good looks in the halfcourt against the Bruins, yet IU seems content walking the ball up.

It’s been a while, but still don’t see Mackenzie Mgbako on the Indiana bench. Went out earlier after some sort of lower body discomfort. Hasn’t been back since. #iubb

“Believe in one another … They’ve had a tough go at it, but I can’t let them quit.” — Indiana isn’t ready for the last chapter of the Mike Woodson era to close. Instead, they’re starting to rally around each other and their coach. #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/i-want-these...

Indiana has another terrific opportunity for another resumé win on Friday night as UCLA comes to town — Key players, metrics, stats to know, matchups to watch and more. #iubb Scouting Notes: hoosierillustrated.com/scouting-not...

“I want these guys to believe” Despite the last few weeks of turmoil and the end of an era at the end of the season, Indiana isn’t ready to write its final chapter — instead ‘coming together’ and showing some signs of resilience. #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/i-want-these...

When Indiana faces Michigan State tonight, Tom Izzo has a chance to break the all-time Big Ten wins record — held by Bob Knight. #iubb “It’s an honor … I loved him, he was good to me” hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

Indiana is an 11-point underdog at Michigan State tonight, per @DKSportsbook (9 pm ET, Peacock). #iubb

There's still a season to finish up -- but a new era of Indiana basketball is underway. What does it mean and what's next for a program that has so much history, yet very little to show for it over the past two decades? #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

Saturday felt like a true end of an era — also one of the more honest assessments from Mike Woodson about his tenure at IU & specifically this year: “I’ve done a terrible job in really putting them in the best position possible to win” #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

Final: Michigan 70, #iubb 67 -- box score, expanded stats, metrics and analytics. hoosierillustrated.com/hoosier-illu...

Putting Anthony Leal on Danny Wolf has absolutely changed this game. Doing a phenomenal job -- even though he's giving up a ton of size -- and limiting a lot of what Michigan is able to do. #iubb

Bryson Tucker -- coming off one of his best performances of the season -- with just 5 first half minutes, and is the only player with a positive +/- for IU today. #iubb

Pretty lifeless effort from Indiana today. I get it, there's a lot going on in and around the program right now. But, for a team that still has numerous 'opportunities' to end the season -- not much energy or emotion. #iubb

Nothing new here -- transition D and communication non-existent to start for Indiana. About the only consistent part of the team this year. #iubb

Back at Assembly Hall for Indiana vs Michigan — and quite a bit of storylines that come with. As always, follow along at HoosierIllustrated.com for all coverage. #iubb

Michigan plays fast, is efficient and has numerous playmakers on the floor. Taking a look at the Wolverines, key matchups, tendencies and stats ahead of today’s matchup for Indiana. #iubb Scouting Notes: hoosierillustrated.com/scouting-not...

NEWS: It’s official — Mike Woodson will step down as the head coach of Indiana basketball at the end of the season. The decision had been ‘weighing on his mind for a while, and that it was an emotional and difficult decision’. #iubb Details: hoosierillustrated.com/breaking-ind...

NEWS: Indiana has officially announced that Mike Woodson will step down as head coach after the season ends. As of now, the plan is for Woodson to coach the remainder of the season. #iubb

Report: Indiana basketball head coach Mike Woodson ‘contemplating retirement’ at end of season. #iubb Derails: hoosierillustrated.com/indiana-bask...

Dusty May is returning to Indiana this weekend to ‘try to win a freaking basketball game, and that’s it.’ #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/dusty-may-re...

As the opportunities keep slipping away for Indiana, it keeps searching for answers it can’t find. Staring at the final stretch of the season, there’s one consistent theme — ‘we’re just not a tough team right now’. #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/with-the-sea...

Bryson Tucker the lone bright spot for Indiana, 19-2 run in the first five minutes, can't spot a team 20 points, abysmal 3pt defense, these 'opportunities' are running out, a major step back -- key takeaways from IU's 76-64 loss to Wisconsin. #iubb hoosierillustrated.com/key-takeaway...

Luke Goode starting for Malik Reneau and Trey Galloway in for Anthony Leal to start the second half. #iubb

Refs reviewed the goaltending call against Oumar Ballo and overturned it. So, it's 40-28 Wisconsin -- somehow just a 12-point deficit for Indiana. #iubb
