7:00 - Estimated attendance, per IU media relations, was 1,800
Kentucky has just announced its star freshman point guard, John Wall, has been cleared to play by the NCAA. Wall is the top rated incoming freshman in the country, and a member of the Top 5 Wildcats squad that will play at IU on Dec. 12.
The first ESPN/USA Today Coaches' poll was released early this morning, and there are a number of IU's 2009-10 opponents in the Top 25. This includes two of the top five teams: Kansas, Michigan State, Texas, North Carolina and Kentucky.
As reported last week, private donors sent a $75,000 check to Bob Knight to settle a lawsuit in which he claimed he was not properly defended by the university when sued by his former assistant Ron Felling.
As we found out yesterday after Tom Crean and a couple players met with the media, the men's basketball team will host the "Haunted Hall of Hoops" again on Halloween. Last year's event, which took place on a Friday night, failed to draw many students, though it is geared more towards familes and children. But perhaps this year's earlier start time is, in part, for that reason, as the team will hold an open practice and scrimmage at 4 p.m.
IU coach Tom Crean briefly - as in five minutes - met with the media this afternoon.
While last Friday's Hoosier Hysteria marked the start of official practices for the IU men's basketball team, the team will "tip off" the 2009-10 campaign with a pep rally at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29.
As excited as the team is to get back on the court, they now have less than three weeks before their Nov. 4 exhibition game with Grace College. That means just 25 days until their season opener against Howard on Nov. 13.
As much as Hoosier Hysteria is about getting fans excited for IU basketball, it’s equally a major recruiting tool.
Trying to put together some sort of list for recruits who will be attending Hoosier Hysteria and I've picked up some other tidbits along the way.
Just past noon today, Tom Crean met with the media for his first press conference of the year. After, we got to watch the team work out on the court for 45 minutes, something Crean didn't do last year.
Just received a press release from media relations regarding Hoosier Hysteria, which will be held on Oct. 16. The men are expected to take the floor at around 8:30 p.m. that night.
In a plug for the new ESPN College Basketball Encylopedia that hit stores today, SportsCenter just revealed the book's top five all-time programs. National titles won are in parentheses:
FoxSports.com's Jeff Goodman has released his Big Ten preview on the web site. One of the top storylines/questions he poses is whether or not IU will take "the next step back to respectability" this year with the addition of transfer Jeremiah Rivers and the six freshman.
In an appearance on the EZ and Bo Show on Louisville's ESPN 1450 The Ticket , former IU player and coach Dan Dakich said he expects Bob Knight to return to Bloomington for his November induction into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame.
What Tom Crean's 6-25 record doesn’t capture is the number of fans and the amount of support he has won in the process off the court.
This photo comes from Tom Crean's Twitter account. I've seen him on a couple of occasions coming out of class where the full sport coat and tie and even, if I'm not mistaken, a suit.
IU coach Tom Crean has yet to meet with the media this year at Assembly Hall. But behold, the "first ever Twitter video."
It was not a matter of "if," but instead a matter of "when." Five-star senior point guard Kyrie Irving will be on campus for his official the weekend of Oct. 2, according to Adam Zagoria.
