A signature win for Indiana

Published by Source on December 10th, 2011

The Build-up

Despite being 8-0 and winning each game by more than 10 points, Indiana was not favored to win today at Assembly Hall. In fact, most people outside of Indiana did not even really think twice about Indiana’s chance to win today. The reason? The top-ranked, undefeated and uber-talented rival Kentucky Wildcats were coming to town.

John Calipari’s bunch was fresh off of a win over previously top-ranked North Carolina that vaulted them up to that number 1 spot. In addition to that, Indiana hadn’t beaten UK since 2007. But none of that matter to Tom Crean and the Indiana Hoosiers. Because of that, their program has been changed forever.

Most Hoosier fans will tell you that this year’s IU team has been playing better than the non-ranking given to them by national media. They have been receiving votes in each poll but had yet to crack the Top 25. Indiana’s first 8 wins did not exactly come against top competition, though they had won 2 true road games (Evanston and NC State) and a tough home win over Butler. There was a lot to be excited about in Bloomington and with an entire week to prepare for this game, Hoosier Nation was in heavy anticipation for their date with Number One.

Kentucky came into Saturday’s game with 8 wins of their own, coming against the likes of UNC, Kansas and St. Johns, but had yet to play a true road game. With a young team, a road trip to a wild environment like Assembly Hall is a real challenge.

Hoosier Hysteria Unofficial Guest List

Published by Source on October 13th, 2011

Plenty of prospects, some already committed to IU but most undecided, will be making their way to Bloomington on Saturday Oct. 15th for the annual Hoosier Hysteria “midnight madness” event. Normally, the festivities take place on Friday night, but with an away football game that weekend the event was moved to Saturday evening. Head coach Tom Crean has put together an impressive group of prospects for the weekend, including a large contingent from the state of Kentucky.

This move also coincides with the official visit of 2012 star Gary Harris (Fishers, IN) who will be making his official visit that Saturday. Normally, official visits get started on Friday but since Harris is a football player he will be busy that night.

Notably missing are Indiana’s two 2014 verbals James Blackmon Jr and Trey Lyles, who will be attending the USA Basketball Mini Camp in Colorado for the weekend. 2013 target BeeJay Anya has also been invited to the camp. 2014 prospect Jaquan Lyle (Evansville Bosse) considered attending, but as of Thursday night he is not planning on it. It is possible he will head up to Merrillville, IN for the Pangos All-Midwest camp instead.

UPDATE: These are guests of a different type, but IU Athletics has announced that college basketball TV broadcaster Bill Raftery will be at Assembly Hall as an announcer, and former Hoosiers/current NBA players Eric Gordon and DJ White will be in attendance.

LIST AFTER JUMP!

Indiana commitment profiles – 2012 Backcourt

Published by Source on August 15th, 2011

By: Kyle Dunne, IU contributor

In the past year, Indiana head coach Tom Crean went on a recruiting run unparalleled by any other coach in the country. What made his recruiting success more amazing was the way he locked down the state of Indiana, receiving in-state commitments for the classes of 2011 through 2014. Crean’s five-man 2012 group is currently the consensus number one class among the major scouting services. The class, dubbed by some as a modern-day Fab Five, features one player at each position. Today, we will take a look at the three Indianapolis frontcourt prospects that are less than a year away from hitting Bloomington.

Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell

5-11 * 165 * PG

Park Tudor (Indianapolis, IN)

Rivals (5* #23) – Scout (4* #28) – ESPN (4* #34)

 

Yogi Ferrell may just be the true point guard that the Hoosiers have been lacking. The 5’11’’ point man from Park Tudor High School in Indianapolis knows how to control a basketball game. He has an extraordinary handle that allows him to relentlessly attack the basket, as well as get his teammates involved through precision passing. Yogi also has the ability to knock down the midrange jumper, which forces the defenders to remain honest throughout the course of the game. As a junior he led the Panthers to the 2A state title. He committed to Indiana on November 24, 2010, just prior to his first high school game of this past season. Ferrell was strongly influenced by the commitments of freshmen Austin Etherington and Cody Zeller, with whom he played AAU ball with in the summer of 2010. (more…)
