Improvements Are Coming for Indiana Basketball

The moment the whistle blows and the referee tosses the orange into the air, the college basketball court becomes a fighting zone. Having a capable leader pulling the strings and making the decisions is essential once a war is declared.

Indiana University basketball is fortunate to have two exceptional referees in charge of the team. Teri Moren has solidified her place on the sidelines for the women’s division. Additionally, Mike Woodson has performed well enough in the offseason on the men’s side to win back the supporters of the Indiana Hoosiers. These two have given the Indiana University basketball program enough weapons to surge back toward title contention with their heroic recruiting efforts.

Losing Sara Scalia and Mackenzie Holmes was devastating for the female side. Nevertheless, they are bringing in two strong frontcourt players from their 2024 recruiting class and a third from Tennessee. Even while they might not be able to completely replace the vacuum left by the Hoosier icon Holmes, the three of them ought to work well together in the upcoming season. Additionally, some of the hurt caused by Scalia’s departure should be lessened by Penn State’s commitment to sharpshooter Shay Ciezki.

On the men’s side, Gabe Cupps, Anthony Leal, Mackenzie Mgbako, Malik Reneau, Trey Galloway, and Jakai Newton return as a strong core of the team. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist, though, to see that group by itself wouldn’t be sufficient to propel this squad back to true relevance. A lot of supporters were concerned that the wild 2023–2024 season would lead to problems for the next year.

Woody is here, so don’t be afraid.

Floor space remained a challenge even after the team signed McDonald’s All-American Bryson Tucker and signed highly sought-after transfer targets Myles Rice, Oumar Ballo, and Kanaan Carlyle. Thus, Mike Woodson went out and signed 6’7″ wing Luke Goode, who is a proven sniper and pretty much the player prototype this team sorely needed. This is officially a depth chart that should not be taken lightly, with 2 spaces yet to be filled.

Indiana University basketball is a serious program, and those in leadership roles are not to be taken lightly.
