‘Indiana is on its way back’: Leonard Hamilton praises Hoosiers after loss

Leonard Hamilton served as an assistant at Kentucky from 1974-1986, and he remembers coming to Assembly Hall and facing tough teams in front of raucous crowds.

He was reminded of that feeling Tuesday night as his No. 17 Florida State Seminoles came to Bloomington to battle the Indiana Hoosiers as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

Hamilton has been at the helm at Florida State since 2002 and this was the first time he’s matched up against the Hoosiers during his tenure.

The Seminoles got off a to a good start, leading Indiana 11-4 early, but then Devonte Green checked into the game and Hamilton walked back into the locker room at halftime with an 11-point deficit.
