SAD NEWS: Indiana Hoosiers former head coach Bob Knight Confirmed Dead at 83read more details
Head coach Mike Woodson and the Indiana Hoosiers are parting ways after the 2024-25 college basketball season, but the veteran coach got caught up in the moment after the school’s Senior Day victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday.
“Maybe I’m leaving too soon. I don’t know,” Woodson said when asked about his feelings postgame. “This brings back old memories. My last game on this floor [as a player] was against Ohio State for the Big Ten title back in 1980. For these seniors, this is what it’s all about because they don’t get another shot at it.
“I couldn’t be more proud of a group of guys that have hung in there with me. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs this year, but they are competitors. They keep competing, and we still got to go try to win the Big Ten Tournament. That’s what’s next.”
Both the Hoosiers and Buckeyes needed a win Saturday to help their NCAA Tournament résumés. In Mike Decourcy’s latest bracket projections, they were two of his last four teams in the tournament.
Ohio State led most of the first half and built a 10-point lead with just over 12 minutes left in the second half. But Indiana came roaring back. Senior guard Trey Galloway pitched in with two 3-pointers during a 12-0 run to give the Hoosiers a five-point lead in the final minute
