Indiana’s 2017-18 campaign unofficially tipped off on Saturday evening with Hoosier Hysteria.
Unlike previous editions of Hoosier Hysteria, there was no guest host. Besides the fireworks during the introductions, the pizazz was kept to a minimum.
Before the festivities started, the thousands gathered in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall roared as one by one, IU recruiting targets and commits were paraded across the court to their designated seats. Among the recruits in attendance: five-star 2018 guards Romeo Langford and Darius Garland and 2019 five-star forwards Trayce Jackson-Davis and Keion Brooks. Class of 2018 commits Damezi Anderson, Jerome Hunter and Robert Phinisee were also in the building.
