    REACTION: Indiana Basketball Off to a TERRIFIC Start w/ BLOWOUT Win Over Eastern Illinois in Opener

    Indiana Basketball is off to a TERRIFIC start in Year 2 under Darian DeVries! The Hoosiers dominated Eastern Illinois 91-57 in their 2026-27 season opener, and Markus Burton delivered a statement performance with 19 points, 5 assists and just 1 turnover! On this live postgame edition of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Indiana's 34-point blowout victory, the biggest takeaways from opening night, and why this team already looks completely different from last season. Markus Burton was outstanding, shooting 7-of-8 from the field and 3-of-3 from three-point range. After a disappointing exhibition stretch, Indiana's new point guard showed exactly what he can bring to Darian DeVries' offense. But Burton wasn't the only player who impressed! Bryce Lindsay scored 14 points off the bench, Samet Yigitoglu provided size and production inside, and Sam Alexis showed why Indiana's frontcourt depth could be a major advantage this season. We also discuss Aiden Sherrell's difficult shooting night, Indiana's deep guard rotation, Trent Sisley's contributions, and the offensive versatility that makes this year's Hoosiers so exciting. PLUS: Jacob shares his biggest LIKES and DISLIKES from the win. Indiana shot 50% from the floor, hit 38% of its three-point attempts, and outscored Eastern Illinois 29-8 in points off turnovers. But there are still concerns about perimeter defense, defensive communication, guard foul trouble and Sherrell's outside shooting. Did Indiana show the improvements we've been waiting to see under Darian DeVries? How good can this team become when the competition gets tougher? The Hoosiers return to action Thursday against Bellarmine, and Locked On Hoosiers will be LIVE again for postgame reaction!   Indiana Basketball, Indiana Hoosiers, IU Basketball, Indiana vs Eastern Illinois, Indiana Eastern Illinois highlights, Indiana basketball postgame, Indiana basketball reaction, Indiana basketball 91-57, Darian DeVries, Markus Burton, Markus Burton 19 points, Bryce Lindsay, Samet Yigitoglu, Aiden Sherrell, Sam Alexis, Trent Sisley, Jaeden Mustaf, Darren Harris, Indiana basketball season opener, Indiana basketball 2026-27, Indiana basketball roster, Indiana basketball depth, Indiana vs Bellarmine, Big Ten Basketball, Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins #IndianaBasketball #IUBB #IndianaHoosiers #MarkusBurton #BigTenBasketball   00:00 Indiana Basketball Dominates Eastern Illinois00:55 Indiana Wins 91-57 in Season Opener01:36 Why This Was a Stress-Free Opening Night02:15 Indiana Looks Completely Different02:47 First-Half Run Changes the Game03:13 Indiana's Defense Takes Control03:56 Burton, Yigitoglu and Sherrell Reactions05:08 What Makes This Offense Different?06:13 Markus Burton's Incredible Debut06:58 Bryce Lindsay Delivers Off the Bench07:19 Samet Yigitoglu and the Frontcourt08:06 Aiden Sherrell's Shooting Struggles10:06 Why This Was an Ideal Season Opener16:39 Team Shooting and Free Throws17:23 Rebounding and Turnover Breakdown18:41 Indiana's 29 Points Off Turnovers19:00 Perimeter Defense Concerns20:45 Lindsay, Harris and Mustaf21:18 Opening-Night Likes and Dislikes22:01 Offensive Efficiency and Shot Selection23:15 Sherrell's Three-Point Shooting24:49 Trent Sisley's Contributions25:01 Indiana's Biggest Defensive Weakness27:45 Final Takeaways From the 91-57 Win   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

    Curt Cignetti Has Some BIG Decisions to Make During Indiana's Bye Week!

    Indiana Football WON against Minnesota… and somehow DROPPED TWO SPOTS in the AP Poll! The Hoosiers fell from No. 4 to No. 6 despite winning another Big Ten game, and Jacob Goins has some serious questions about the latest college football rankings. On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob breaks down why he disagrees with the AP Top 25, where he ranks Indiana in his own JG Poll, and what the first College Football Playoff rankings could mean for Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers. Indiana is ranked No. 6 in the latest AP Poll, but Jacob has the Hoosiers at No. 4. He also questions Utah's No. 3 ranking, evaluates Miami, Georgia, Notre Dame, UCLA, BYU, Alabama and Ohio State, and explains why he believes the college football rankings are becoming increasingly difficult to defend. PLUS: Indiana Football enters a crucial bye week with TWO major position battles to settle before USC! Should Grant Wilson officially replace Josh Hoover as Indiana's starting quarterback? Has Paddy McAteer earned the full-time field goal kicking job after his clutch 60-yard field goal against Minnesota? Jacob explains why he wants both decisions made during the bye week and why Indiana must get healthy before the final stretch of the regular season. We discuss injury concerns involving Josh Hoover, Turbo Richard, Rolijah Hardy and A.J. Harris, plus the importance of Indiana's depth at running back, linebacker and in the secondary. The Hoosiers still have USC, Washington and Purdue remaining on the regular-season schedule, with Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff aspirations on the line. And with the first CFP rankings scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, Jacob explains why he has lost confidence in the committee's evaluation process and what he wants to see when the initial rankings are released.   Indiana Football, Indiana Hoosiers, IU Football, Indiana football AP Poll, Indiana AP Poll ranking, Indiana football rankings, Indiana ranked number 6, AP Top 25, college football rankings, College Football Playoff rankings, CFP rankings 2026, Curt Cignetti, Grant Wilson, Josh Hoover, Indiana quarterback controversy, Paddy McAteer, Indiana kicker, Indiana football bye week, Indiana football injuries, Turbo Richard, Rolijah Hardy, AJ Harris, Indiana vs Minnesota, Indiana vs USC, Indiana vs Washington, Indiana vs Purdue, Big Ten Football, JG Poll, Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins #IndianaFootball #CurtCignetti #CollegeFootballPlayoff #APTop25 #BigTenFootball   00:00 Indiana Football Has Major Bye-Week Battles01:11 Indiana's Remaining Schedule01:52 Why Getting Healthy Is Priority No. 103:03 Four Key Indiana Injury Concerns04:09 Grant Wilson vs. Josh Hoover at QB105:01 Why Indiana Still Needs Josh Hoover06:33 Turbo Richard and A.J.

    Here's Why Indiana Basketball Will MAKE the Sweet 16! | FULL SEASON PREVIEW

    Indiana Basketball could go 16-4 in the Big Ten! Darian DeVries enters Year 2 with a completely revamped roster, massive expectations, and a chance to bring the Hoosiers back to March Madness. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins delivers his complete Indiana Basketball 2026-27 season preview ahead of the Hoosiers' opener against Eastern Illinois at Assembly Hall. After an 18-14 season, a 9-11 Big Ten record, and another missed NCAA Tournament, Indiana desperately needs a turnaround. Jacob explains why he believes Darian DeVries has addressed the biggest problems from last season with improved scoring depth, better guard play, more size, stronger rebounding and one of the nation's best transfer portal classes. We break down the entire Indiana Basketball roster, including Notre Dame transfer Markus Burton, Bryce Lindsay, Darren Harris, Jaeden Mustaf, Aiden Sherrell, Samet Yigitoglu, Trent Sisley, Sam Alexis and Indiana's talented freshmen. Could Bryce Lindsay force his way into the starting lineup? Will Markus Burton provide the point guard play Indiana has been missing? Can Aiden Sherrell become the centerpiece of DeVries' offense? PLUS: We preview Indiana's entire schedule, including major non-conference matchups against Arkansas and Kentucky, early Big Ten games against Rutgers and Iowa, and the toughest conference stretch featuring Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State. Jacob shares his boldest predictions, including a possible 16-4 Big Ten season, an NCAA Tournament victory, and a potential Sweet 16 run. Indiana Basketball begins its second season under Darian DeVries with something to prove.

    TRENDING: Josh Hoover OUT as Indiana's Starting QB, Grant Wilson Needs to Be QB1 Moving Forward!

    Grant Wilson EARNED Indiana Football's starting quarterback job! After Curt Cignetti benched Josh Hoover against Minnesota, the Hoosiers now enter a critical bye week with a massive QB decision ahead of their matchup against USC. On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins explains why he believes Grant Wilson should be Indiana's starting quarterback moving forward and why Josh Hoover's struggles have reached a breaking point. Indiana escaped Minnesota with a 23-16 overtime victory, but the biggest story was the quarterback change. Hoover struggled in the first half before Wilson entered and helped spark the offense, ultimately delivering the game-winning touchdown pass to Charlie Becker. Jacob breaks down Hoover's season-long inconsistency, why the problems began before his recent injuries, and how Wilson changed the energy of Indiana's offense. Hoover finished 8-of-19 for 119 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Wilson completed 9-of-17 passes for 156 yards and the overtime winner. Did Grant Wilson just earn QB1? Should Curt Cignetti give Wilson all the first-team practice reps during Indiana's bye week? PLUS: Indiana Football desperately needs to get healthy before hosting USC on November 14. Jacob discusses the latest injury concerns involving Josh Hoover, Turbo Richard, Rolijah Hardy and A.J. Harris. With USC's dangerous passing attack approaching, Indiana needs its defensive starters healthy and ready.

    TRENDING: Josh Hoover OUT as Indiana's Starting QB, Grant Wilson Needs to Be QB1 Moving Forward!
  7. 3d ago

    REACTION: INDIANA WINS IN OT AGAIN! Hoosiers Still Have BIG Issues | Josh Hoover BENCHED

    Josh Hoover BENCHED! Grant Wilson steps in, Indiana Football survives Minnesota 23-16 in overtime, and Curt Cignetti now faces a HUGE quarterback decision heading into the bye week! Indiana Football found another way to win, but this one was anything but pretty. On this live postgame edition of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins reacts to Indiana's dramatic 23-16 overtime victory against Minnesota, Josh Hoover being benched at halftime, Grant Wilson's second-half performance, and the massive changes the Hoosiers may need before facing USC. Josh Hoover finished 8-of-19 for 119 yards, one touchdown and one interception before Curt Cignetti made the switch to Grant Wilson. Wilson responded by completing 9-of-17 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown, including the game-winning overtime throw to Charlie Becker. Did Grant Wilson just earn Indiana's starting quarterback job? Jacob explains why he believes Wilson should be QB1 moving forward and why the quarterback change gave Indiana's offense a much-needed spark. PLUS: Paddy McAteer delivered an incredible 60-yard field goal to force overtime! After a disastrous special teams performance, did McAteer also earn the starting kicking job over Nico Radicic? Indiana's defense was outstanding once again. The Hoosiers held Minnesota to just 16 points and approximately 215 total yards, with Tobi Osunsanmi delivering the game-ending sack in overtime. Jacob breaks down the performances of Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh, Lee Beebe Jr., Jacob Savage, Byron Baldwin, Jamari Sharpe and the rest of Indiana's defense. We also discuss injuries to A.J. Harris and Turbo Richard, Rolijah Hardy's pregame injury, Curt Cignetti's postgame comments and the biggest problems Indiana must solve during the bye week. Indiana won, and its College Football Playoff hopes remain alive. But can the Hoosiers continue winning with this level of offensive inconsistency and special teams mistakes?   Indiana Football, Indiana Hoosiers, IU Football, Indiana vs Minnesota, Indiana Minnesota overtime, Indiana football postgame, Indiana football reaction, Josh Hoover benched, Josh Hoover injury, Grant Wilson Indiana, Grant Wilson quarterback, Grant Wilson touchdown, Curt Cignetti, Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh, Paddy McAteer 60 yard field goal, Nico Radicic, Indiana football quarterback controversy, Indiana football defense, Tobi Osunsanmi, Jacob Savage, Indiana vs USC, Indiana football playoffs, Big Ten Football, College Football Playoff, Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins #IndianaFootball #IUFB #IndianaHoosiers #CurtCignetti #BigTenFootball   00:00 Indiana Survives Minnesota in Overtime01:41 Indiana's Defense Saves the Day Again04:09 Josh Hoover Benched, Grant Wilson Steps Up05:05 Hoover vs. Wilson: Comparing the Numbers07:15 Indiana's Offensive Problems Remain09:33 Is Indiana Still Championship-Caliber?10:21 Special Teams Nearly Costs Indiana13:53 Second-Half Reaction and Player Stats16:57 Indiana's Defense Wins Another Game20:42 Defensive Standouts and Injuries24:16 Can the Defense Keep Carrying Indiana?27:22 Changes Needed During the Bye Week30:35 Final Segment and Live Fan Reactions31:44 Josh Hoover vs. Grant Wilson34:26 Should Grant Wilson Start Against USC?36:27 Indiana's Punt Return Problems37:46 Nico Radicic vs. Paddy McAteer39:06 McAteer's 60-Yard Field Goal40:25 Why Two New Starters May Have Emerged42:54 Curt Cignetti's Postgame Comments44:30 Injury Updates and Final Takeaways   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

    REACTION: INDIANA WINS IN OT AGAIN! Hoosiers Still Have BIG Issues | Josh Hoover BENCHED
  8. 4d ago

    LATEST: Indiana is BETTER Than Miami, Notre Dame, BYU, & Georgia - Hoosiers Will PROVE it This Week

    Indiana Football is STILL a legitimate national championship contender, and I'd take Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers over No. 1 Miami right now! Despite Indiana's recent offensive struggles, the Hoosiers have one of the best defenses in college football. But can Josh Hoover and the Indiana offense make the adjustments necessary to compete for another national championship? On this bonus episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins joins TJ Pittenger of Big Ten Football Addiction to debate Indiana's national championship chances, the biggest problems facing the Hoosiers, and why Indiana could still be one of the most dangerous teams in America. Indiana's defense has been outstanding, but the offense has struggled to find consistency. Josh Hoover, the offensive line, the rushing attack, the wide receiver rotation and the tight ends all come under the microscope. Jacob explains why he believes Indiana's offense is only a few adjustments away from becoming much more effective and why the upcoming bye week could be crucial. PLUS: Would Indiana beat No. 1 Miami? Jacob makes the case for Curt Cignetti and Indiana's defense against Miami's explosive offense led by Darian Mensah. TJ leans toward Miami, setting up a national championship debate about which teams can actually be trusted. Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Georgia, BYU, UCLA and Utah are all discussed as potential contenders. Jacob also reveals why Notre Dame would be his tentative national championship pick if the season ended with teams playing at their current levels. Then, the Big Ten College Football Playoff race takes center stage! Ohio State travels to USC with major playoff implications. Can Lincoln Riley and the Trojans bounce back? Will Ohio State overcome its quarterback uncertainty? Wisconsin travels to Iowa in another important Big Ten matchup. Could the Badgers win out and make the College Football Playoff? Is Nebraska still alive? And will the Big Ten's difficult remaining schedule hurt the conference's playoff representation?   Indiana Football, IU Football, Indiana Hoosiers, Indiana football national championship, Indiana vs Miami, Indiana Miami prediction, Curt Cignetti, Josh Hoover, Indiana football offense, Indiana football defense, Indiana playoff chances, Indiana national title chances, Darian Mensah, Miami Hurricanes football, Notre Dame football, Ohio State football, Georgia football, Big Ten Football, Big Ten playoff race, College Football Playoff, Indiana vs Minnesota, Ohio State vs USC, Wisconsin vs Iowa, Nebraska football, Lincoln Riley, Ryan Day, TJ Pittenger, Big Ten Football Addiction, Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins #IndianaFootball #CurtCignetti #CollegeFootballPlayoff #BigTenFootball #IUFB   00:00 Is Indiana Football Still a National Title Contender?01:24 Can Indiana Fix Its Offense?02:42 Why Indiana's Defense Is Championship-Caliber03:54 Indiana vs. Miami Debate04:48 Why Jacob Would Take Indiana Over Miami05:30 The Problems With College Football's Top Teams07:10 Who Will Win the National Championship?08:49 Jacob Reveals His Current Pick14:59 Big Ten Week 9 Preview15:53 Ohio State vs. USC Playoff Implications18:54 Ohio State–USC Predictions22:06 Wisconsin vs. Iowa Playoff Implications24:35 Oregon, Northwestern and Nebraska26:26 Could the Big Ten Hurt Its Own Playoff Chances?   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
