Hello, and welcome to “Our Indiana.” I’m Joe Canter.

Spencer Davis:

And I’m Spencer Davis. Our first story tonight: The IU volleyball team has parted ways with head coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan after 11 seasons with the program.

Close-up of Spencer Davis.

Spencer Davis:

After the Hoosiers finished the season 12-20 overall and just 1-19 in Big Ten play, The IU Athletic Department will search for someone new to take the reigns of its volleyball team next season. Dunbar-Kruzan’s IU tenure will be most favorably remembered for the 2010 season in which the Hoosiers advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first and only time in school history. Dunbar-Kruzan went 162-196 at the helm for the Hoosiers and will be succeeded by assistant coach Paul Koncir until senior associate athletic director Mattie White completes the new head coach search. And the IU men’s soccer team defeated Michigan State on Friday night to clinch its NCAA-record 19th College Cup berth. “Our Indiana”‘s Mackenzie Salmon was at Bill Armstrong Stadium for all of the action and ensuing celebration.

Joe Canter sits at the news desk.

Joe Canter:

Thanks Mackenzie. Indiana men’s soccer will head off to Philadelphia this week as they prepare for their NCAA-record 19th College Cup appearance and their first since 2012. They’ll square off with the three-seed North Carolina Tarheels in the semifinals. We’ll see if the Hoosiers’ top-ranked defense led by freshman goalkeeper Trey Muse can propel the Hoosiers to a ninth national championship in school history and the first under head coach Todd Yeagley.

Spencer Davis appears at the news desk.

Spencer Davis:

The Indiana wrestling team improved to 6-1 after sweeping its final non-conference duals 3-0. The Hoosiers defeated Northern Illinois, SIU Edwardsville and Cleveland State by wide margins Saturday at the Hoosier Duals, winning each dual by at least 27 points. IU begins its Big Ten slate on Sunday on the road against No. 2 Ohio State. And fall sports have provided IU fans with innumerable Hoosier highlight plays this semester. And lucky for you, “Our Indiana’s” Tommy Poore is back again this week with a special compilation reel for the final edition of “Top Plays With Tommy.”

Tommy Poore stands next to a screen with the “Our Indiana” logo.

Tommy Poore:

Lucky they are, Spencer, because after looking through the film and some and intense debates between the “Our Indiana” crew, we have found the top five plays from this past semester. Let’s head back to the

It’s been a wild year for Hoosier sports, and with basketball starting up, you can only bet that more moments are coming. That’s all I got here. Now let’s look at the year-end review with Alex.

The words “Cream v Crimson” appear on screen.

Alex Emoff:

Thanks Tommy. Since our season is coming to a close, we wanted to take the opportunity to bring a few of our hosts and anchors back today to recap some Hoosiers sports before we sign off for the semester. We’re happy to have our own Zain Pyarali, Mackenzie Salmon and Brandon Riley here. Each of them report for different Hoosiers sports, so we’re happy to hear their take on a couple fall sports themselves, their seasons so far and the future of each team. Mackenzie and Zain follow men’s soccer

Alex Emoff, Zain Pyarali, Mackenzie Salmon and Brandon Riley sit in chairs in the Beckley Studio.

Alex Emoff:

pretty closely. So they’ve had a lot of success this season. They’ve been exciting to watch. We kind of want to see what’s gone into that this season, what you guys think are the big factors that played a role in their success so far.

Mackenzie Salmon:

Well I think for me what was really cool to see this season

Closeup of Mackenzie Salmon.

Mackenzie Salmon:

from the guys is how close all of them were. And you had so much depth in the team. So it really helped. You know, you had younger guys stepping up, taking the plate from the seniors at left. And I think what also really helped was Coach Yeagley. Him being a former player, being an assistant coach, to coach, just all his experience really helped to add up and just help the guys altogether. But what what do you think?

Zain Pyarali:

Yeah, I mean this team really

Closeup of Zain Pyarali.

Zain Pyarali:

starts from the defense. This defensive unit returned this year from last year, and all of them returned. Same with the midfield. Pretty much the same bunch was back. And the only thing that differentiated this year was up top at forward. Mason Toye steps in. True freshman.

Mackenzie Salmon:

He’s huge.

Zain Pyarali:

Leads the team in goals, was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He was really the difference maker that made this team kind of elevate its game from last year to this year. And then also a net between the pipes: Trey Muse, an MLS Academy- type goalkeeper that really elevated their defense. Although that defense was already stout in front of him, he really took them to the next level.

Alex Emoff, Zain Pyarali, Mackenzie Salmon and Brandon Riley sit in chairs in the Beckley Studio.

Alex Emoff:

Yeah and the most exciting thing about that is we get to keep seeing them play. They’re not stopping in the fall. They’re making their way into winter. Anything you’re predicting from the College Cup? How many times have we been here? It’s kind of, IU’s a little used to seeing it, but it’s been a minute since they’ve been there.

Zain Pyarali:

Yeah, the last time they’ve been there was 2012, but this is their

Closeup of Zain Pyarali.

Zain Pyarali:

19th appearance. I truly think they should be able to make a run and win the College Cup. They have a tough game against UNC in the semifinals. And if they win that they go on to play either Stanford or Akron. It’s really every team in the College Cup is great and really true soccer programs.

Mackenzie Salmon:

And I think they’re really hungry for the win too. They want this for Yeagley

Closeup of Mackenzie Salmon.

Mackenzie Salmon:

for his first. So I think it should be a good game regardless. I do feel like once they get there, they’re going to be ready for it, because they have had a little bit of rest. So it should be fun. I’m excited for it.

Alex Emoff:

Between the rookies and the

Alex Emoff, Zain Pyarali, Mackenzie Salmon and Brandon Riley sit in chairs in the Beckley Studio.

Alex Emoff:

vets, we have a pretty good squad out there. As much success as we’ve seen on the field, it hasn’t been the same on the court for volleyball. We expected a lot more from them. I know, Brandon, you’ve called a ton of games for them. You follow collegiate volleyball very closely. And there’s kind of a big coaching change going on within IU volleyball as well, if you have any insight on that for us?

Brandon Riley:

Yeah.

Closeup of Brandon Riley.

Brandon Riley:

They did not have a very good year this year, mainly because of the lack of experience they had. I mean, luckily they do only lose two players from this year’s team. So that’s a plus, and they had a lot of young players step up. And you know, it showed that there is a brighter future for IU. Now whoever inherits this program also brings them back and a good recruiting class, one of the best in Coach Dunbar’s, if he can keep them.

Alex Emoff:

Yeah, so

Alex Emoff, Zain Pyarali, Mackenzie Salmon and Brandon Riley sit in chairs in the Beckley Studio.

Alex Emoff:

is there anyone you have in mind that you could see filling that coaching role or kind of your superstar hopeful that you’d love to see take over the program and kind of turn it around?

Brandon Riley:

One person that I would love to see IU go after is head coach Matt Botsford. He coaches for Florida Gulf Coast University. He’s from Indiana actually. You know, he was the lead recruiting

Closeup of Brandon Riley.

Brandon Riley:

assistant at Notre Dame, brought in a big-time recruiting class at Notre Dame that ranked 13th and 15th nationally, won two conference titles at Colorado State as an assistant, and he also is now, his past three seasons at Florida Gulf Coast, they’ve eclipsed the 20-win mark. So he’s a very, he knows how to develop players, he knows how to recruit and he knows how to win. So if they want to compete in the best conference in college volleyball, they’re gonna have to go after someone like that.

Alex Emoff, Zain Pyarali, Mackenzie Salmon and Brandon Riley sit in chairs in the Beckley Studio.

Alex Emoff:

Well hopefully they can lock down someone who’s going to further their program, help it develop and whatnot, but be sure to follow men’s soccer all the way to Philly for the College Cup. It’s really exciting,

Closeup of Alex Emoff.

Alex Emoff:

only happens every once in a while, but hopefully it can happen even more. Follow our winter sports all the way into spring as well. We’re going back to you at the desk, Joe.

Spencer Davis and Joe Canter sit at the news desk.

Joe Canter:

Zain Pyarali appears on the court of Assembly Hall.

Zain Pyarali:

Although Indiana fell short tonight against Duke, there’s a lot to take away from this game for Archie Miller’s club, especially looking at the turnover margin: just single-digit turnovers for the third straight game. That’s the first time that’s happened in IU history since 1996-1997 season.

The Indiana men’s basketball team opened up its conference schedule this past week with games against Big Ten foes Michigan and Iowa.

Words appear: Big Ten Men’s Basketball. Indiana (4-4)(1-1): 55. Michigan (7-2)(1-0): 69. Final. Indiana: Juwan Morgan – 24 pts, 8 rebs. De’Ron Davis – 4 pts, 1 reb. Rober Johnson – 6 pts, 4 rebs. Michigan: Moritz Wagner – 13 pts, 7 rebs. Jordan Poole – 19 pts, 3 rebs. M-A Abdur-Rahkman – 8 pts, 11 rebs.

Spencer Davis:

The Hoosiers struggled in Ann Arbor on Sunday afternoon, falling to the Wolverines 69-55. One of the lone bright spots in that loss, though, was junior forward Juwan Morgan, who put up a Big Ten career- high 24 points on nine of 14 shooting and having eight rebounds for IU.

Spencer Davis appears.

Spencer Davis:

On Sunday, IU basketball fans got news of a roster shakeup when the team announced that sophomore guard Curtis Jones left the program. He intends to transfer at the end of fall semester. The Hoosiers evened up its Big Ten record at 1-1 on Monday night after grabbing a victory over Iowa at Assembly Hall. Here’s “Our Indiana”‘s Zain Pyarali with the post-game report.

I think coming out at halftime is a mindset. You don’t have a lot of physical time to prepare, change much. You just can change your mentality.

So I think that’s the biggest thing. We had that little lull there, and we came in and changed our mindset after the timeout and got it back rolling.

Not so much as forcing, trying to create things, off the dribble or anything, but it’s just getting other teammates open, and if they’re getting open looks, although I know they think it’s going in,
