(AP) — Indiana junior Victor Oladipo is heading to the NBA. Cody Zeller could be next. Oladipo made his announcement official Tuesday at a news conference inside Assembly Hall. He is the Hoosiers' first underclassmen to leave school early since Eric Gordon and D.J. White departed after the 2007-08 season. Zeller's announcement is expecte...

Proud as can be. And rightly so. "You have to know what to do against it," Boeheim said. Indiana most certainly did not. Limiting the top-seeded...

The Hoosiers were on the brink. As the clock ticked down, coach Tom Crean wouldn't allow himself to thing about defeat, so his mind wandered elsewhere. "That's when you just pray," he said...

But in their NCAA tournament opener, the Hoosiers turned to their speedy, 178-pound point guard to make James Madison's knees buckle right away. Yogi Ferrell was the bully. Ferrell scored Indiana's first nine points and had 14 in the f...

Indiana became the fifth straight top-ranked men's college basketball team to lose, falling to unranked Illinois 74-72 on a buzzer-beater by Tyler Griffey on Thursday night.
