BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Legends have a way of lighting up a room – or even a 17,000-seat-plus basketball area.
You'd better believe Isiah Thomas did a lot of lighting Saturday afternoon.
There he was on the Branch McCracken Court of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, as good a point guard as the game has ever seen, college or pro, participating in a Hoosier Hysteria like no other.
For one, fans were back in the arena for the first time since March of 2020.
For another, Thomas' former Hoosier teammate, Mike Woodson, one of five Hoosiers to ever score 2,0000 career points (2,062), now coaches the program, and Thomas had a few things to say.
