Indiana opened the basketball season Saturday with Hoosier Hysteria at Assembly Hall. 16,100 fans were on hand to support and get a preview of the 2011 IU men’s and women’s teams.
I had the pleasure of hosting the night’s events on BTN.com and the network uploaded videos of the scrimmage as well as interviews with Tom Crean and Cody Zeller to their website. Click here to see each of those. I also posted Victor Oladipo’s singing performance, team introductions, the dunk contest video from afterwards when Remy Abell, Austin Etherington, Cody Zeller and Will Sheehey addressed the media.

Then it was time for team introductions – voiced by the one and only Gus Johnson…HA HA!
