Indiana has a tough two game trip out west against USC and UCLA but with five games left before the Big Ten Tournament the Hoosiers have more chances to get some wins and look toward the postseason which looks much brighter than a week a half ago.

Indiana University Football Confirms Tyson Brown as the Director of Athletic Performance IU football made it official Friday, announcing Tyson Brown as the new head strength and conditioning coach. Brown replaces the departed Derek Owings, who left for Tennessee. Here is the full release from Indiana on Brown resume:
Indiana head football coach Curt Cignetti announced Tyson Brown as the program’s director of athletic performance on Friday. Brown comes to Bloomington after two seasons at UConn that featured back-to-back appearances in the Fenway Bowl and program-best 18 wins over the 2024 and 2025 seasons. During his time in Storrs, Brown helped UConn reach back-to-back bowl games for the first time since 2009-10.
He led the Mississippi State football strength and conditioning program for four seasons (2020-24) which netted three-straight bowl appearances from 2020-22 under head coaches Mike Leach (2020-21) and Zach Arnett (2022). The Bulldogs were 2-1 in those games and won nine games in Leach’s second season – its most since 10 winds during the 2014 season. He spent six seasons at Washington State with two as the head of the strength and conditioning program (2018-19) and four as an assistant (2014-17) for Jason Loscalzo. In his time with Leach, Brown helped the Cougars to five straight bowl appearances, 46 wins and four top-3 finishes in the Pac-12 North.
Between 2017 and 2018, Brown was hired by Cignetti at Elon, but Loscalzo left for the NFL, opening the door for Brown to remain in Pullman and lead the Cougars’ strength and conditioning efforts. Brown spent one year as associate director of strength and conditioning at USF (2013) and two seasons as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Washington (2010-11). He spent one year each as an intern/graduate assistant with the NFL’s Houston Texas (2010), Baylor (2009) and his alma mater, Sioux Falls (2008). A native of Bothell, Washington, Brown holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Sioux Falls where helped the Cougars to the 2006 (player) and 2008 (strength coach) NAIA National Championships. Brown also holds a master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania. He is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the National Strength and Conditioning Association and owns his certification from the USA Weightlifting organization.

Former Purdue University Men’s Basketball Player Porter Roberts Passes Away at Age 51 Porter Roberts, a three-time Big Ten champion at Purdue and a former Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, has died. He was 51 years old. An announcement came from the Purdue men’s basketball social media account late Friday evening. He passed away in Chattanooga, Tenn. A visitation and funeral service will be held on Thursday, Feb. 12. “Saddened to hear of the passing of Porter Roberts — a 3-time Big Ten champion, who starred on the mid-90s teams,” Purdue’s social media account wrote. “He backed down from nothing on the court but loved to joke around off it.”
Roberts played at Purdue from 1992-96 and was a key piece to the Boilermakers winning three straight Big Ten championships from 1994 through 1996. He played in 126 career games and made 96 starts during his time in West Lafayette. Roberts ended his career with 691 points, 464 assists, 438 rebounds and 93 steals. As a senior during the 1995-96 campaign, Roberts had the best season of his college career. He averaged 7.9 points, 4.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per contest. At the end of that season, he was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. Roberts was just the second player in Purdue’s history to receive that honor, alongside Ricky Hall in 1984.
During Roberts’ final three seasons at Purdue, the program posted an impressive 80-18 record, which included a 44-10 record in Big Ten play. The Boilermakers reached the Elite Eight round of the 1994 NCAA Tournament. Roberts played alongside several notable Boilermakers during his time at Purdue. He was coached by legend Gene Keady and had teammates like current Purdue coach Matt Painter, current assistant coach Brandon Brantley, Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson, Cuonzo Martin, Linc Darner, Brad Miller and Chad Austin.
