Lou Henson won a lot of basketball games, his 779 total placing him No. 10 on the major college list headed by Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight.
But this isn’t about what Henson did on the sideline. It’s about who he is. His character.
Two decades and 423 UI wins are dwarfed by the two decades since.
And that’s why his signatures and replicas of his orange blazer will be permanently placed on both ends of Lou Henson Court at State Farm Center.
A formal ceremony will be held Dec. 2 prior to the home opener with Notre Dame.
