Five takeaways from the Mike Woodson era

Indiana missed the 2025 NCAA tournament and the Mike Woodson era in Bloomington is over.

Here are five takeaways from his four-season tenure as IU’s coach:

Indiana failed to compete for Big Ten or national titles

One of Woodson’s stated objectives when he took the job in the spring of 2021 was to compete for Big Ten and national titles.

While Woodson mentioned on more than one occasion that the Hoosiers finished second in the conference in the 2022-23 season, the program never seriously challenged for the league crown under his leadership.

In the 2022-23 campaign, Indiana finished 12-8 in the Big Ten and tied for second with Northwestern.
