BLOOMINGTON, Indiana - The crimson Women's NIT 2018 championship banner arose majestically toward the Assembly Hall rafters Saturday afternoon.
And Indiana basketball partisans certainly wouldn't mind seeing banner-raising? become habitual.
Romeo Langford, part of a celebrated men's basketball freshman class, put it this way when asked Wednesday about his goal heading into the 2018-19 season:
"Win the national championship."
That's the way the 2018 Indiana Mr. Basketball from New Albany has always approached any basketball campaign at any level – shoot for the biggest available prize.
And that was echoed by women's Hoosier head coach Teri Moren while watching fans file out after Hoosier Hysteria, the annual inaugural showcase for Hoosier hoops.
