Indiana coach Mike Woodson spoke to the media after the Hoosiers lost their second Big Ten road game of the season.
The Hoosiers’ four losses this year were by an average of 21.5 points. In two true Big Ten road games, Indiana lost by a combined 42 points.
Indiana’s 85-60 loss Saturday at Iowa was its 18th loss to a Big Ten opponent by 10 or more points in four seasons under coach Mike Woodson.
Indiana fans will remember the date Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025 for years to come. It's the day the Mike Woodson era became unsalvageable at IU. Inside Assembly Hall on Tuesday night, echoes of "Fire Woodson" rained down from the student section as Hoosiers fans fed up with the product called for his ouster in an eventual 25-point loss to No.
Chants of “Fire Woodson” reverberated throughout Alumni Hall on Tuesday while coach Mike Woodson’s Hoosiers squad suffered an “embarrassing” 94-69 home loss to No. 19 Illinois. The Hoosiers (13-5, 4-3 Big Ten) trailed by as much as 31 points and faced a 28-point deficit at halftime while dropping a second straight conference game by 25 points.
Indiana lost its second game by a 25-point margin as No. 19 Illinois defeated Indiana 94-69 on Tuesday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. This heavy loss came in the wake of the Hoosiers' 85-60 defeat at Iowa Saturday. Woodson spoke to the media after the heavy loss. Here's everything the fourth-year coach had to say.
We very likely saw the end of the Mike Woodson Era on Tuesday. Sure, Woodson will linger on as Indiana's coach, likely until the end of the season – midseason firings except in cases of significant misconduct are not the Hoosiers' style – but there is no longer much doubt that this season will be Woodson's last leading the Hoosiers.
Indiana basketball is searching for answers after a second straight blowout loss and changes to the starting lineup could be on the way:
Indiana basketball went to Iowa looking to prove it belonged back in the conversation as a Big Ten contender amidst its longest regular-season win streak in two years. The Hoosiers created a fresh-round of doubts instead.
Indiana Hoosiers head coach Mike Woodson is firmly right back on the hot seat following a 25-point home loss to Illinois
At this point, most of the Indiana basketball fanbase wants Mike Woodson gone. He was on thin ice coming into the Illinois game, and his team put on a thoroughly uninspiring performance. To make matters worse, Woodson skipped his postgame radio interview.
Under Mike Woodson, Indiana has not had the urgency needed in multiple areas to compete at the level fans expect.
