No Champaign for IU

Saturday's performance in Champaign was just plain awful. No offense. No defense. No nothing. I definitely had higher expectations because practice last week was unlike any other.

Hoosier Hysteria tips-off tonight

Note: Here is our Hoosier Hysteria preview that ran in today's paper. Be sure to check out the basketblog later tonight and tomorrow for our coverage. Tom Crean isn't holding his first official practice at midnight, but you can expect the traditional madness. Despite being picked to finish last in the conference by "everyone and their brother," as Crean put it, the Hoosiers' first official practice will be a part of two national television networks' Midnight Madness coverage. "A true 'It's Indiana' moment for me is when ESPNU called me and wanted to be here as part of their kick-off for Midnight Madness," the first-year coach said. The other four schools on ESPNU's docket are regarded as some of the top teams in the country.

Meet the Hoosiers ... videos?!?!?!

That's correct. By a happy mistake in counting (we're journalists, not math majors, don't hate us), We had far more "Meet the Hoosiers" installments than the four we originally advertised. So without further ado, and with greatest possible Basketblog fanfare, I bring you the last four episodes of Meet the Hoosiers.

"Midnight Madness" events are a bit old school these days, but regardless of what time a major college basketball program tips off its first "practice," it is always a big draw for top recruits and potential targets.

A few days old, but worthy of bringing you toknight

On Wednesday, eight years ago to the day he was fired from Indiana University, Bob Knight appeared on the show "Mickey's Corner," a local interview program of WFYI in Indianapolis. At one point in the Q&A session, the show's moderator, Mickey Maurer, asked Knight what he thought of cheating in recruiting.

Let's kick this off

Hey folks, Yes, I'm aware that this is neither Inside Pitch nor the Basketblog. It is, in fact, our newest little addition to our online family -- Corner Kick, an IU soccer blog. It is here you will find information, posts and other such poppycock regarding both the IU men's and women's soccer teams.
