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."

Earlier on Friday, all of Hoosier Nation, including head coach Mike Woodson, received great news as star big man Trayce Jackson-Davis announced his return to Indiana. Based on this decision, Indiana will almost definitely begin the preseason as a Top 25 team with expectations of breaking into the Top 4 of the Big Ten, if not contending for a title.

WOW. HOOSIERS. Indiana trailed 60-43 with 13 minutes to go. It looked very bleak. Little did we know that Mike Woodson's team would storm back from behind to erase the deficit and knock off Michigan, 74-69. The guys put the inspiring win in context and break down what went right down the stretch.
Has IU locked themselves into March Madness? We'll tell you what we know...

We're not going to beat a dead horse. IUBB is obviously stuck in a horrible slump right now, but the schedule lightens up this week. How can IUBB turn things around? Is their enough time?
Nithin and Jevan tell you how the Hoosiers can go dancing, preview Maryland and Minnesota, and more!

What a disaster. Everything felt so peachy after IU's win at Maryland, then after Illinois clobbered the Hoosiers, Mike Woodson suspended five scholarship players for violating team rules. Unsurprisingly, IU dropped the contest at Northwestern, but let's face it: this program is at its biggest turning point of the season. How will the Hoosiers respond?
