IU basketball’s Haunted Hall of Hoops returning on Thursday, October 30

For the first time since 2016, the Haunted Hall of Hoops is returning to Assembly Hall.

The Haunted Hall of Hoops was an annual tradition for IU basketball under Tom Crean, but was discontinued beginning with the 2017-18 season following the hiring of Archie Miller. The first Haunted Hall of Hoops took place in 2008.

The event is returning this fall, the program announced Wednesday morning.
