Indiana University Women’s Basketball and Bedford Native Chloe Spreen to Enter the Transfer Portal Another IU women’s basketball player is hitting the transfer portal. Guard Chloe Spreen will become the fourth Hoosier in the portal when it opens in April, per On3. She joins Phoenix Stotijn, Faith Wiseman, and Jade Ondineme. Spreen spent her sophomore year at Indiana after transferring from Alabama. Her arrival was viewed as one of the program’s biggest additions last offseason, as IU added the 2024 Indiana Miss Basketball winner. But she never cracked Teri Moren’s rotation throughout the year, playing in only 11 of the team’s 32 games and averaging only 4.4 minutes in those appearances. This will leave Maya Makalusky as the lone Indiana native on IU’s roster going into next season — though, of course, Moren could add others from the portal. The Hoosiers currently have 10 players remaining for the 2026-27 season, barring any other transfers.
Indiana University Men’s Basketball Hires Assistant Coach Thomas Carr Indiana head men’s basketball coach Darian DeVries announced the hiring of assistant coach Thomas Carr on Friday. He has twice been named to the Silver Waves Media 2026 100 Most Impactful High Major Assistants with a decade of experience at the Division I level. Carr will join assistant coaches Drew Adams, Rod Clark, Kenny Johnson, and Nick Norton on Coach DeVries’ staff for the 2026-27 season.
Carr, a native of Toledo, Ohio, spent four seasons as an assistant coach for Pat Kelsey at Louisville (2024-26) and College of Charleston (2022-24). The Cardinals finished 51-19 with a mark of 29-9 in ACC play during his two-year run in Louisville. UofL earned NCAA Tournament bids in both 2025 and ’26, punching postseason tickets in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2007-15. The 2024-25 Cards appeared in the program’s first ACC Championship game. He worked with All-ACC First Team selection Chucky Hepburn (2024-25), Second Team honorees Ryan Conwell (2025-26) and Terrence Edwards (2024-25), and ACC All-Rookie guard Mikel Brown Jr. (2025-26).
Prior to his two-year stint with the Cardinals, Carr served as an assistant coach at the College of Charleston. The Cougars compiled a record of 58-12 with a pair of CAA regular-season championships and two CAA Tournament championships. He helped mentor All-CAA First Team selections Ante Brzovic (2023-24) and Dalton Bolon (2022-23), Second Teamer Reyne Smith (2023-24), and Third Team additions Ben Burnham (2023-24) and Ryan Larson (2022-23). James Scott (2023-24) was voted to the All-CAA Rookie Team, while Bryce Butler (2023-24) and Pat Robinson III (2022-23) were each selected at CAA Sixth Man of the Year.
Carr came to Charleston after serving for two years as Athletics Director at national high school powerhouse Word of God Christian Academy in Raleigh, N.C. During that time, he also connected with numerous coaching staffs across the country as Scouting Director of Your Fourth Assistant, while also working as Director of Team Loaded NC, one of the premier AAU programs in the country. Before that, Carr spent five combined seasons as an assistant coach under former NC State head coach Kevin Keatts with both the Wolfpack and UNC Wilmington. During the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns, NC State went 45-24, highlighted by a 2018 NCAA Tournament berth.
Carr’s time at UNC Wilmington was transformative for the program, producing three straight regular season CAA championships, two CAA Tournament titles and back-to-back NCAA trips in 2016 and 2017. Carr specifically coached the Seahawks’ backcourt and helped cultivate six players who received all-conference honors in three years. Carr broke into the Division I coaching ranks in 2013-14 as an assistant coach at East Tennessee State with the Bucs making a nine-win improvement from the previous season.
He began his coaching career at Chipola College in 2009, then joined Keatts for his final season at Hargrave Military Academy in 2010-11. That year, Hargrave finished the season as the No. 1 prep school in the country and saw eight players sign D-I scholarships. Carr also spent one season leading George Washington High School to a 25-3 mark as the head varsity coach before landing the assistant coach position at East Tennessee State. Carr was a two-year captain at Pfeiffer University from 2006-08 and finished second in the country in 3-pointers made.
Aubree Hooks’ No-Hitter Guides Indiana University Softball to a Friday Night Win Indiana defeated Detroit Mercy on Friday 8-0, at Andy Mohr Field in a non-conference matchup. Indiana’s record now stands at 26-7 overall with the win. The Hoosiers got the scoring started in the bottom of the second. Following walks from Madalyn Strader, Hannah Haberstroh, and Alli Gavin to load the bases, Cassidy Kettleman drove a ball into shallow left field to score Strader, giving the Hoosiers a 1-0 lead. On the defensive side, starter Aubree Hooks and the Hoosier defense shut down the Titans early, opening the game with three straight 1-2-3 innings. The first hit of the game didn’t come until the bottom of the fourth, when Eillie Goins hit a shot to the wall in left center for a stand-up double. Goins would later score, as Kettleman would tack on her second RBI of the game with a single, extending the lead to 2-0.
The Hoosiers continued to add insurance runs in the bottom of the fourth, as an error in the infield would allow Peyton Drummond to score, a triple from Aly VanBrandt brought Kettleman home, and a sac fly from Avery Parker would bring in VanBrandt to make it 5-0 after 4. The Hoosiers continued to pile on the runs, as a double from Gavin would score Goins, giving Goins a multi-run outing. Gavin would later score on a wild pitch to extend the lead to 7-0 for Indiana. The final runs would come as a result of a Strader single through the right side, which would bring home pinch-runner Neveah Nash to make it 8-0 Hoosiers.
Aubree Hooks recorded the first no-hitter of the season for Indiana and the first of her career, giving her a third shutout and a 6th win on the season. Madalyn Strader scored her 30th run of the season, becoming the 3rd Hoosier this season to 30 runs. Aly VanBrandt recorded her 26th extra-base hit of the season, which is the most on the roster. In the bottom of the 5th, the Hoosiers took the national lead in Hit by Pitches with 46, surpassing the UCLA Bruins. Indiana and Detroit Mercy will play the second game of the two-game series this afternoon at 2 p.m. at Andy Mohr Field.
PRs Highlight Day Two of Raleigh Relays for Indiana University Track and Field The Indiana track and field team wrapped the second day of the Raleigh Relays seeing personal bests and high finishes in multiple events. The women’s discus started the day for the Hoosiers. In the event, Hannah Alexander saw a second-place finish with her distance of 51.33m/168-5. Caleb Smith saw a new personal best (52.52m/172-4), finishing fifth in the event. His distance helped him move to 19th on the all-time school record list. On the track, Catie McCabe (4:26.34) and Maddie Rocchio (4:38.32) saw personal bests in the women’s 1,500-meter races. Michaela Quinn (10:38.46) saw a top-10 finish in the women’s 3,000-Steeplechase, moving herself up the School record list.

The Hoosiers will finish the weekend from Raleigh, N. C. tomorrow when they compete in the men’s and women’s hammer throw.
Indiana University Baseball drops Series Opener at Nebraska On a cold night in Lincoln, the Indiana Baseball team (10-15, 3-7 B1G) came just short of completing a five-run comeback in the series opener against No. 24 Nebraska. The Hoosiers got within one run on two occasions but were retired in order in the eighth and ninth innings in a 6-5 loss on Friday evening at Haymarket Park. It’s the sixth one-run loss of the season. IU’s offense came alive in the sixth inning as it finally chased Nebraska’s starter Ty Horn from the ballgame. All nine Hoosiers came to the plate. The big hits in the frame came on an RBI single from freshman pinch hitter Owen ten Oever and a two-run single from sophomore catcher Hogan Denny.
Sophomore outfielder Caleb Koskie opened the scoring on a wild pitch. Denny and sophomore shortstop Cooper Malamazian each had multi-hit days against the Huskers. Three defensive errors were a sore spot in a game where IU’s pitching staff held its own. Graduate student right-handed pitcher Reagan Rivera (L, 0-3) gave up five runs but only two were earned. He allowed just three hits in the contest. In total, Nebraska bats produced just six base knocks. Redshirt junior right-handed pitcher Jacob Vogel had the best outing of the night. He tossed just 29 pitches in 2.2 innings of scoreless relief. A bases-loaded hit-by-pitch in the sixth inning made all the difference in the game. Sophomore outfielder Cole Decker closed the deficit to one in the seventh with an RBI groundout, but IU would never lead in the Friday contest. Nebraska reliever J’Shawn Unger got the final six outs in order for his third save of the year. The Hoosiers will look to even the series this afternoon at 3 p.m. ET in Lincoln. Graduate student southpaw Tony Neubeck will take the bump in search of his third Big Ten win of the year. The game will be streamed on B1G+ and can be heard at iuhoosiers.com/watch.

The Trojans had an incredible display in the 5,000-meters recording four top five finishes. Luke Harber led the pack with a second-place finish at 15:06.91. Ryan Hanak, Jordan Burden, and Jared Stayte rounded out the top five all with times of 15:15.03 or better.
Spencer Stout finished top ten in both hurdle events once again. The sophomore clocked a time of 15.47 in the 110-meter hurdles before finishing fourth in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 57.48.
