The Legacy and Future of IU Basketball

The Legacy and Future of IU Basketball Indiana University basketball—better known as IU basketball—isn’t just a sport; it’s practically a religion for Hoosiers. From the banners hanging in Assembly Hall to the unforgettable moments that have made fans laugh, cry, and occasionally yell at their TVs, IU basketball has built a legacy that’s as rich as it is exciting. A Legacy to Remember When you think of IU basketball, the name Bobby Knight probably pops up first. The man was a legend, and let’s be honest, he could throw a chair with the best of them. Under his leadership, IU clinched three NCAA championships in 1976, 1981, and 1987. That’s not just history; it’s winning history. The 1975-76 season, when IU went undefeated, is still talked about as one of the greatest achievements in college basketball. Seriously, how many teams can say they’ve done that? (Hint: Not many.)
