Wednesday cannot come fast enough. After watching the Browns stumble through another horrible Sunday, I am already excited about the turning the page and moving on to college basketball season.
Truthfully, I’ve always been a college basketball fan more than I am a fan of any other sport, and this year there will be nothing distracting me from following every second of Indiana’s 2009-10 season, which should see Tom Crean and the Hoosier program rebound from the unavoidable train wreck that was the 2008-09 season.
Last year was obviously tough to suffer through, but I am firmly behind Crean and the plan he has in place to return Indiana’s basketball program to respectability, and ultimately to prominence. I’m not expecting miracles this year, but I do believe that a .500 record is within reach now that the talent level is more commensurate with a Big Ten power.
When and where can you watch the team this year? Below is the 2009-10 Indiana Hoosiers mens basketball TV schedule, along with some helpful links to help you find good deals on IU basketball tickets.
