The start of the regular season is just three weeks away and the official tipoff of the IU basketball season, Hoosier Hysteria, takes place Saturday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
Here are three things to watch for at Hysteria:
· The extended scrimmage: Hoosier Hysteria is an event that is put on for fans and recruits, but it has tended to drag on too long at times in its recent history.
That is expected to change this year as a full 40 minute scrimmage will be the focus of the evening. That’s not to say that Hysteria will look completely different than how it’s looked in the past, but brevity will be emphasized leading up to the scrimmage.
