Indiana will play Indianapolis in exhibition on Nov. 5

by in Schedule | October 4th, 2011

Per IU Media Relations:

The Indiana University men’s basketball team has completed its 2011-12 schedule with the addition of an exhibition game on Saturday, November 5 at Assembly Hall against the University of Indianapolis. Tip-off will be at 7 p.m. and the game will be streamed on Bigtennetwork.com.

“Our goal in scheduling our exhibition games is to find programs that will best prepare us for the upcoming season, “ said IU Coach Tom Crean. “Having the opportunity to schedule a team with strong local ties is an added bonus. Stan (Gouard) and his staff have done a great job in a short period of time, which is evident by their win at Tennessee last year.”

The Greyhounds were 19-9 last season and return three starters. The two teams last met in an exhibition game on November 10, 2006 in Assembly Hall with the Hoosiers taking an 83-46 triumph. A year earlier to the day, IU also defeated the Greyhounds, 96-49 in Bloomington in another preseason exhibition.

The Hoosiers will open the season on Friday, November 11 and will host Stony Brook at 7 p.m.

Big Ten announces single-plays for 2011-2012 season

by in Schedule | June 16th, 2011

The Big Ten isn’t expected to announce the full men’s basketball schedule for 2011-2012 until August, but the conference announced single-plays for next season earlier today:

During the 2011-12 Big Ten men’s basketball season, each team will play seven teams twice and four teams once. Below are each team’s “single-plays” for the upcoming season, as well as home-away designations for those games.

The single-plays for IU are as follows:

Home: Illinois, Northwestern
Away: Nebraska, Wisconsin

Tough break with getting Wisconsin on the road rather than at home, but the game at Lincoln should be a solid opportunity to walk away with a win. The Hoosiers avoid a trip to the other Assembly Hall, but also won’t get the opportunity to travel to Welsh-Ryan Arena, which is usually packed with IU fans.

The list of single-plays for the remainder of the conference is available after the jump …

Big Ten tournament to rotate between Chicago, Indianapolis

by in Schedule | June 5th, 2011

When Indianapolis’ five-year contract as the host of the Big Ten men’s basketball tournament expires in 2012, the event will begin rotating between the United Center in Chicago and Conseco Fieldhouse.

The Big Ten made the announcement after its annual meeting of the Council of Presidents/Chancellors at the Big Ten office in Park Ridge, Ill.

The decision, according to Indiana University President Michael McRobbie, was unanimous among council members.

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delaney expressed excitement over the conference’s decision to rotate the event between Chicago and Indianapolis.

“What we wanted to do is get back to Chicago. We’re really pleased that we could get to the United Center.” Delaney said on a conference call Sunday afternoon. “And we’re really pleased that we had enough events that we could see Chicago, get back to Chicago and also continue to have a strong presence in Indy.”

Tom Crean expressed his desire for the event to remain in Indianapolis on an annual basis last week at an IU Tailgate Tour stop at Huber Farms.

“I absolutely see no reason, not only as the coach at Indiana, but from anything I’ve seen as a coach walking into that environment, that it shouldn’t stay there,” Crean said. “I’m hopeful that it does. I think any support that can be shown is really good.”

The United Center hosted the first four Big Ten men’s tournaments before the event rotated between Conseco Fieldhouse and the United Center from 2002-2007.
