Doyel: Tiny crowd for IU-Syracuse basketball? Purdue loss to Valparaiso? Here's what it all means.

The first week of the college basketball season brought two eye-popping results locally, one at Purdue and other at Indiana . Purdue lost Nov. 6 to Valparaiso, the Boilermakers ’ first loss to a mid-major opponent at Mackey Arena since 2014. The Hoosiers beat Syracuse in front of 5,047 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday, the smallest crowd to see an IU basketball game in Indiana since the global pandemic. Go ahead, if it makes you feel better, and consider those results unrelated. One team won, one lost. One played a mid-major, another a historically elite program from a powerhouse conference. One large crowd. One small. What’s the connection here? What’s the problem ? The NIL-and-transfer portal era of college basketball is the connection. The future is the problem. What happened to the crowd for an Indiana basketball game in Downtown Indianapolis – and what will happen to the Purdue roster, going forward – are related to the upheaval of college sports, an upheaval that hasn’t been good for anyone but the athletes. No snark there. No shade. Before the landscape changed in the last five years – before lawsuits forced the NCAA to go from indifferent to impotent – college

Numbers that Matter: Indiana vs.USC

It’s one of football’s oldest truths: when the final whistle sounds, the scoreboard tells you who won, but the numbers often tell you why. A team may rack up more yards and still walk away with a loss, only for the turnover margin to reveal the difference. Another may control the ball, dominate time of possession, and quietly squeeze the life out of a comeback attempt. Whether it’s field position, third-down efficiency, explosive plays, or costly mistakes, the box score often uncovers the story beneath the result. In a game decided by inches, the numbers have a way of explaining what the eye test alone cannot.

‘A force’: Samet Yigitolu can positively impact IU basketball in a multitude of ways

Indiana center Samet Yigitolu didn’t take long to assert himself in a 90-66 win against Tennessee Tech on Thursday.

On the first, he rolled to the rim and laid it in off the catch. The second, a two-handed dunk on a cut to the rim from a bounce pass. The third, he backed his defender down from the elbow to the rim and finished a hook shot.
