Galen is joined by longtime contributor Zach to talk about the ridiculous and tantalizing news of the day that USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac 12 and joining the Big Ten starting in 2024-25. We discuss the background of these moves, the butterfly effect that led to the current moment, and what may happen next in college sports as a result.
GC and Griffin Gonzalez are joined by Indiana men's basketball players Anthony Leal, Miller Kopp, and Jordan Geronimo at Switchyard Brewing Company in Bloomington, in partnership with the Hoosier Ticket Project. We talk with each player about their perspectives on the end of last season, what they're up to this summer, and what they're looking forward to for next year. Our thanks to Jerod Morris and Anthony Leal for helping to pull together the guest lineup, Dave Burton from Switchyard for organ...
Scott and Galen are back with a nearly two-hour episode, talking about Trayce Jackson-Davis's return to IU and what it might mean for the Hoosiers next year, where Indiana's improvements may come from in terms of long range shooting, and what the expectations for this team are now that the roster is set. At about the hour-15 mark we switch to football and field some questions about this vintage of IU gridiron play. We talk about our levels of excitement for the season, what we're looking out for...
On this episode of CrimsonCast, we tackle some questions and concepts about IU basketball as we head into mid-April. We discuss roster composition, how to evaluate the incoming recruits (and what to expect / not expect), and how this offseason might be remembered. We also take a detour and discuss Purdue’s unfortunate end in the NCAA tournament.
Today's episode features Griffin Gonzalez (The Hoosier Network; WDRB), Grace Ybarra (Inside The Hall) and Matt Cohen (IndyStar) as they join DoctorGC for a concise 30 minute discussion on some current issues with IU basketball, drawn directly from listener questions. We discuss the apparent chasm in athleticism between IU (and the Big Ten) and the two teams that just played for the national title, what the realistic ceiling is for the team in 2022-23, what to make of personnel moves and discipli...
We're back, as Tony Adragna and Father James Pierce sit down to chat IU basketball, roster movement, and what Indiana's defense might do next year if there are any defections from the group of post players currently on the roster. We also talk about the crowded backcourt, the three pointer as a function of the personnel on the roster, and the Brian Walsh hire.
The IU Women's Basketball team is in the Sweet 16, taking on the Habsburg Empire of women's college ball, the UConn Huskies. We talk with IndyStar reporter Matt Cohen and Indiana Daily Student reporter Amanda Foster about the Hoosiers' 2nd round win over Princeton, the lead-up to Saturday's game, the matchup vs UConn, and what happened in the pre-game press conferences on Friday.
After a quiet few days, Indiana men's basketball news has started to come hot and heavy --- to the point that this was recorded just a few hours ago and is ALREADY out of date. We're joined by the Indy Star's Zach Osterman to discuss the departure of Dane Fife, the likely departure of Khristian Lander, the season that was, and the offseason that needs to be.
The surest way to guarantee that news will happen in IU basketball is to record a podcast about the status quo, and that's exactly what happened here. Still, this was a fun and enjoyable discussion about some of the roster and statistical aspects of this past year and some items to look forward to for next year, featuring our friend, Father James Pierce, who makes his triumphant return to the show after an 8 year absence.
Galen and Scott talk about the loss to St. Mary's and some to reflect on the season.
Galen and Scott discuss IU's NCAA win vs Wyoming.
Galen & Scott did a quick live show on Twitter after the NCAA Selection Show on Sunday. Posting that audio here on the Podcast feed. Enjoy!
Yes. Indiana saved the season. Two wins in Indianapolis and a classic third game that ended up in a gutpunch last second loss breathed life back into the 2021-22 season for the Hoosiers, and for the first time in a while, IU fans got to enjoy watching their team fighting through adversity and bad habits and figuring out a way to win --- twice. We talk about the events of the last few days, the reframing of the season as a result, and the program's tournament chances and projections.
Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Thomas @tbeindit from BT Powerhouse @BTpowerhouse to preview all things B1G Tournament.
IU loses a tough game to Purdue. The B1G bracket falls completely wrong for IU. But, we aren't playing on Wednesday, so we have that! Galen and Scott break it all down for you on this episode of CrimsonCast.
IU had a golden chance to pick up a victory at home against Rutgers on Senior Night that would've likely guaranteed them a spot in the NCAA Tournament. But as has been the case with IU over the last several years, they seized the opportunity to miss an opportunity. Now the Hoosiers stand at 9-10 in conference, with a pretty flimsy tournament resume, and a whole bunch of frustrated and concerned fans. We talk about the Rutgers game and the fallout, before evaluating IU's remaining chances and dis...
Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Jess Settles @JessSettlesHoop from the B1G network for a great discussion, talking about the Indy 500, Coach Woodson and current state of #iubb.

Tough times for IU men's basketball. We recap the last game and look ahead, but not forward, to the next one.
Scott is joined by Thomas @tbeindit from BT Powerhouse @BTpowerhouse They chat about the best uniforms in the B1G, then get down to business, why is IU struggling, how is Rutgers doing this with similar metrics as IU, thoughts on the Michigan fiasco, and best/worst teams for March.
Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Ryan Phillips @RumorsandRants - Senior Writer at @thebiglead / Co-host of @AssemblyCall They debate which is worse for #iubb: * Missing the NCAA Tournament this year or * TJD not getting drafted into the NBA Enjoy
Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Tony Adragna @CoachAdragna to talk about what has gone wrong in the last 2 weeks with IUBB, and where there are glimmers of hope for the rest of this season.
On this episode of CrimsonCast, we delve into the current situation with IU basketball and try to parse out what it all means. We also talk extensively about IU's recent offensive woes and what kind of a threat that poses to the rest of the season. Finally we discuss Indiana's current NCAA tournament positioning and what they need to do as the regular season comes to a close.
Scott is joined by Thomas @tbeindit from BT Powerhouse @BTpowerhouse They review IUBB's place in the B1G this season, why it's important to have IUBB relevant again and then look at most surprising and disappointing B1G teams, B1G Player of the year options, who is making the NCAA Tournament, and which B1G team could finally cash in and get a Championship.
Indiana had a pretty good week overall, recovering from the surprise blowout loss at home vs Michigan to knock off Penn State and Maryland in successive games. The Hoosiers now stand at 16 wins overall and 7 wins in conference play. Scott and Galen look back at the week that was and discuss some of the interesting or exciting trends in how the team is playing. We also check out Indiana's current NCAA tournament status and discuss some of the implications of IU's current seeding projections. Fina...
A rare next-day podcast from the CrimsonCast Brigade, as we revel in Indiana's three point victory over Purdue. There are so many storylines and emotions to unpack in this one --- the Rob Phinisee Redemption Game, the Mike Woodson Signature Win Game, the Assembly Hall Atmosphere Comeback game, and more --- that it's hard to know where to start the conversation.
CrimsonCast is back, talking IU basketball. If you actually read the descriptions, my apologies, I got nothing for you today.y
THIS IS NOT AN INDIANA SPORTS EPISODE. Instead, Galen talks with longtime friend Sam Dewig, who is in the throes of deciding on a European soccer (football) team to support. And she has questions! Let's face it, European soccer is a bit confusing in how it is set up at the highest levels, even for those of us who have been following it for years. Sam asks the questions, Galen tries to give the answers to the best of his ability (even if he accidentally referred to the Supercoppa as the Coppa Ita...
On this episode, Scott and GC are back with: - A recap of the IU wins over Ohio State and Minnesota - A discussion of defense and lineups - Some Tamar Bates talk - A look at Trey Galloway's big return - An evaluation of the upcoming game vs Iowa We also talk about football a bit, including: - The change at defensive coordinator - The influx of transfer players - The challenges facing IU football in the NIL era
Indiana lost at Penn State. Lots of people were irritated about the loss (justifiably so!) but is it a harbinger of larger issues or just a bump in the road? We talk about lessons from the game, as well as taking a look at IU's current NCAA tournament chances.
Happy New Year! Here's 45 minutes of food reviews, recipes, music thoughts, and some stray football and basketball observations. Thanks to all of you for your continued support of CrimsonCast. We hope you have a tremendous end to 2021 and a better start to 2022.
