Indiana didn’t waste any time getting straight to work Friday, the first day of official practice for college basketball programs across the country.
The Hoosiers, who open the regular season six weeks from today, took the floor in Cook Hall for a pair of practices. The first began at 6:30 a.m. this morning and the day wrapped up with a late afternoon session in which Tom and Dick Van Arsdale, who played for IU from 1962 to 1965, observed and spoke to the team afterward.
ESPN college basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla was in Bloomington for an up close look and left with high praise for an Indiana team that is likely to open the season ranked in the top 15 nationally.
