Although IU has a storied basketball history, with Bobby Knight being its greatest coach, we have failed to make it to a game during the past two seasons, partly because they were not very good. We're told that the games nearly always sell out, regardless of the whether team is having a good, middling, or even a poor season. This year they are doing very well, even nationally ranked, and in early December I finally got (student) tickets, but by that time the best I could find were situated in the very last row of the main arena, much higher than we had anticipated! Next time, we'll bring the binoculars.
It was a lot of fun to experience, finally and in-person, Hoosier basketball - and it was even better to be out on a date with my lovely Julianna!!
Oh, and they beat Illinois, 84-71.
