In case you can't make it to Assembly Hall Friday night, you can catch a portion of Hoosier Hysteria live on the Big Ten Network.
As part of their "Big Ten Tonight: Basketball Season Tip-Off Special," the network will televise the first official practices at five campuses around the conference: Indiana, Wisconsin (Night of the Grateful Red), Michigan State (Midnight Madness), Minnesota (Tubby's Tip-Off) and Purdue (Mackey Madness).
(And no, I did not make those names up, they came in the release.)
The show is 2 1/2 hours and starts at 9 p.m. which I take as an indiciation to when the men's basketball team will take the floor. Tom Crean said during IU Media Day that ESPNU would also be televising IU's Hoosier Hysteria as part of their national coverage.
DJ Update: On Monday, surgeons declared DJ White's surgery a success after removing a benign growth from his jaw. He'll have a second operation in six weeks. The team still estimates White will be about 4-6 months.
