Indiana Basketball Faces Turmoil Following Second Consecutive 25-Point Loss

Calls to fire head coach Mike Woodson intensify as the Hoosiers struggle in Big Ten play, sparking debate over leadership and team performance.

Indiana suffered a humiliating 94-69 home loss to No. 19 Illinois, marking their second consecutive 25-point defeat and one of the worst losses in program history.
Fans at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall chanted 'Fire Woodson,' reflecting growing frustration with head coach Mike Woodson’s leadership during his fourth season.
The Hoosiers are 1-5 in Quad 1 games this season, raising concerns about their ability to compete against top-tier teams and jeopardizing their NCAA tournament hopes.
Star forward Luke Goode defended Woodson, urging fans to remain supportive while acknowledging the team's poor performance and lack of effort in recent games.
