The Hoosier Sound | IU Sports Podcast
We are the official podcast of IndianaHQ. Our mission and goal is simple: we want to bring in-depth analysis and coverage for Indiana University sports to as many fans as possible across a multitude of modern platforms. "The Hoosier Sound" was founded in 2017 by Noah Freeman and Matt Lukens who had a passion for all IU sports. The guys wanted to give listeners analysis of programs such as Indiana basketball, Indiana football, Indiana soccer, Indiana women's basketball, Indiana baseball, Indiana swim and dive, and more. We also do a daily IU sports news roundup called "Hoosier Sound-Off."

Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers SMASHED Nebraska 56-7 on Saturday in one of the best environments and performances in IUFB history. The offensive line was awesome, the pass rush dominant, and the receivers exceptional. One issue: Kurtis Rourke suffered a thumb injury that will knock him out from IU's next matchup.

Mike Woodson is showing that he can adapt to the transfer portal era just fine.
After landing Kel'el Ware last year, Woodson snagged Myles Rice and Oumar Ballo over the last few days. Rice and Ballo both received All-Pac-12 honors last year.
What will the two newest Hoosiers bring to the team next year? How should IU attack the last four scholarship spots?
