I Love Indiana Basketball. It started at age 5, when the General had em rolling. Even in defeat, whether it was close or a blowout, I grew for IU🏀. 30+ yrs have passed, but that🔥 burns bright. Today, I have my cream and crimson on and I intend to fight for the Glory of Old IU!.

Driving through the great state of Indiana, one word comes to mind, “Hickory”. If you’re a sports fan, you’ll understand. If not, do a little soul searching, learn it and live it. Only then will you understand why Indiana is a sacred place.

Never saw this….Wow. 🤣.
I had a front row seat for Bob Knight's time as Texas Tech's head coach. Saw and heard plenty in press conferences and during coaches shows interviews. One of the funnier moments.

The Hoosiers are much better than the way they played today. The good news is that they are gaining valuable experience and it will show in March. IU has abundant talent and experience, which will make them a title contender when pieces settle in place. Book it.

Parents: Agree or Disagree. But we(myself included) better start listening. Like Coach Izzo, Coach Painter is highly successful because he upholds the promise of teaching young men the value of sustenance. No agendas. Be consistent. Be coachable. Be dependable. Be accountable.

It’s been an honor. Thank you, Miles. Thank you for being coachable and bringing it everyday. Thank you for being responsible for your own actions, never blaming others. Thank you for your loyalty and love. Lastly, thank you for believing in us. You’re already a pro. ✊️ #SFL

Special, but somber moment. I've never seen 3 Brothers that were closer than Cassius, Zach and Khy Winston. Cash, the loving and supportive oldest. Zach, the vibrant one that was always smiling. And Khy; quiet, observant and the youngest of the 3 boys.
Cassius Winston has a great family, and it is evident, yet again, today.

Coach Davis (aka Mad Dog), took a group of no-names and created champions. His success story is a special one. His selfless commitment to serving others is one of envy. Most importantly, success and $$ has never changed him. Thank you, Coach Davis. Love you. #IUAthleticsHOF?

ON THIS DAY-2001: A buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Indiana center Kirk Haston gives the Hoosiers a 59-58 victory over Michigan State, the first ever win over a top-ranked opponent in Assembly Hall. Haston would lead all scorers with 27 pts. #iubb @IndianaMBB @KirkHaston35IU

Mike and I were teammates at IU and remain close friends to this day. He loves his school and will be a huge asset to the B1G. Mike was known to be a very physical player. In fact, he once fouled out, before the game.

On This Date - Jan. 12, 1993 - In a clash of titans, No. 6 @IndianaMBB traveled to Ann Arbor and defeated No. 2 Michigan 76-75. The win was the 500th at IU for Bob Knight. Alan Henderson sealed the road win with two late blocks, including one in the final seconds of Chris Webber.

This is a good example as to why Michigan St. basketball is unique and very special. Former players are totally supportive of the program. Steve is as dedicated as they come. And Coach Izzo works tirelessly to make former players/parents/managers feel welcome and appreciated.
Tom Izzo said after the game on Saturday vs Illinois that Steve Smith grabbed Tyson Walker after the game and went shot free throws. Izzo didn’t know until Tyson’s dad told him after the game. “Not many places have it like that.”.
