Indiana fell to third-ranked Michigan 86-72, extending their losing streak to four games and dropping the Hoosiers to 12-7 overall and 3-5 in Big Ten play.

After falling behind 22-5 early without injured point guard Tayton Conerway and watching Tucker DeVries pick up two quick fouls, the Hoosiers never found their offensive rhythm against Michigan's size and defensive intensity, though they did show some fight late to cut a 24-point deficit to the final 14-point margin.

Coach Tonsoni breaks down the loss solo and looks ahead to Rutgers:

• Why this team simply cannot go through 8-10 minute stretches scoring only four points against quality competition, and how those droughts continue to define their losses
• The roster construction issues that are becoming more apparent with each loss, particularly the lack of athletic drivers and post presence to attack good defenses
• Tucker DeVries finally seeing shots fall late in the game after struggling for 30 minutes, and whether that can spark him moving forward
• Sam Alexis showing aggression and efficiency with 11 points in 19 minutes before fouling out, providing a glimpse of what Indiana needs from that position
• Reed Bailey's improved attack mentality driving to the rim, even if the finishing remains inconsistent
• Coach Tonsoni's measured approach to staying positive about the program's direction while acknowledging the deep frustration with how they're playing right now
• Why Friday's game at Rutgers feels critical for trying to end this streak before the Purdue rivalry game at Assembly Hall

Plus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.

Indiana defeated Miami 27-21 to capture the program's first-ever national championship and cap an improbable 16-0 season.

After jumping out to a 10-0 halftime lead, the Hoosiers weathered a second-half surge from the Hurricanes before a crucial fourth-down touchdown run by Fernando Mendoza and a game-sealing interception by Jamari Sharpe secured the victory and delivered the most unlikely championship in college football history.

Coach Tonsoni, Bob, Mike, Eddie, and Ryan celebrate the historic moment and break down the game:

• How Indiana's defensive scheme of dropping eight into coverage neutralized Miami's explosive passing attack in the first half before the Hurricanes found seams in the second
• Fernando Mendoza's gutsy fourth-and-five touchdown run that embodied this team's resilience, and why it ranks alongside Keith Smart's shot in Indiana sports lore
• Coach Cignetti's brilliant timeout call in the final minutes that broke Miami's tempo and set up the game-sealing interception
• Charlie Becker's emergence as a clutch performer with crucial sideline catches that kept drives alive when Indiana needed them most
• The blocked punt by Mikail Kamara for a touchdown that restored a two-possession lead when Miami threatened to take control
• Why this represents the greatest coaching job in sports history and the most unlikely championship ever won, surpassing even the Miracle on Ice
• What this moment means for former players who endured decades of losing, longtime fans who never thought they'd see this day, and Scott Dolson's 30-year journey to bring this vision to life

Plus: live reactions from Kirkwood Avenue, gratitude for everyone who believed, and the celebration of a lifetime for Hoosier Nation.

Indiana fell to Iowa 78-61 at home, dropping the Hoosiers to 12-6 overall and 3-4 in Big Ten play in a third consecutive loss that has this season teetering on the ... yeah, you know what work is coming ... brink.

After Iowa controlled the game from the opening tip and imposed their will on the Hoosiers, Indiana briefly cut the deficit to five in the second half before the bottom fell out once again, continuing a disturbing pattern of collapses that has defined their most disappointing losses this season.

Jerod, Eddie, Bob, Mike, and Ryan break down the loss and assess where this program stands:

• Why this team simply isn't talented enough to play poorly and still compete, and how fatigue—admitted publicly by Darian DeVries—is starting to catch up with a rotation stretched too thin
• The losing that's starting to creep into this team's psyche after three straight deflating defeats, and whether there's still enough will to fight through the brutal stretch ahead
• How Iowa's Bennett Sturts and Payton Sandfort combined to nearly outscore Indiana by themselves, exposing the gap between teams with multiple attackers and Indiana's limited offensive options
• Bob and Mike's eye-witness account from Assembly Hall, including the frustration on the bench and the vibes from a crowd that watched another winnable home game slip away
• Tayton Conway's ankle injury that removed the one player who could consistently penetrate Iowa's defense, and what it means when this team loses its only reliable driver
• The roster construction issues that one host compares to having elite wide receivers but no offensive line or quarterback to get them the ball
• Whether Indiana is now in tournament danger zone after dropping two home games they should have won, and what the math looks like with Michigan and Purdue looming
