Ep 69Open 3's and turnovers everywhere as the Indiana Hoosiers squeak by Army, need a "get (w)right game" (Army recap/Wright St preview)

E

Good Lord, we have some work to do... Let's get into this one as the Hoosiers make victory over the Army Black Knights about as painful as it could have been. Indiana came out slow, something needs addressed there. Payton Sparks, maybe a lil' too amped for this one. In a turn of events free throws saved the Hoosiers here. Fastbreak was downright painful in this one. Indiana's turnovers fueled by intention-less passing. Defense acting like the opposition just created the pick. Kel'el Ware's motor seems to be one of the most reliable parts of this team right now. Most teams you give 18 more shots to aren't going to beat you. I'm still convinced Mackenzie will need to be on the floor for this team to hit its potential. Showalter Fish of the Game. Indiana News: Penguin Point... pour one out, Liam McNeeley Signs his NLI, Derik Queen latest, 2026 offer, Emonn on OSP, Ant on Titus, NBA Stars on Trayce, congrats to the Men's Soccer Team.

Ep 66Despite Slow Start, Hoosiers Find Form and Down the Hounds. (UIndy recap)

E

Welcome to the Often Daunted. After a slow start the Hoosiers down the U Indy Greyhounds 74-52, let's talk about it. Takeaways from the game: Credit to the IU Sports Media program and Zion Brown in particular, Gabe Cupps and Anthony Walker provided the intangibles that made the difference in getting this squad rolling, a little selfishness may go a long way in finding a shooting option on this team, Mgbako showed enough for us fans to get really excited for what his season may have in store, Kel'el Ware's 14 point performance, Trey Galloway needed to show more but I'm willing to bet he can show he's added dimensions to his game, Showalter Fish of the Game.
