Mike Woodson

Hoosiers Head Coach Mike Woodson says it’s hard to put into words the impact Legendary IU basketball coach Bob Knight had on his life.

Woodson becomes the third highest paid coach in the Big Ten behind Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and Illinois’ Brad Underwood.

The Hoosiers have won three straight heading into tonight’s game, which tips off at 9 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.

Indiana had 16 turnovers, nine more than Northwestern, and the visitors enjoyed a 25-6 scoring edge off turnovers.

It’s the last year for the challenge, where the 14 schools in each conference play each other over a series of three nights. The challenge began in 1999.

The men are ranked No. 13 and the women 11th in the Associated Press polls heading into this season. The men are picked to win the Big Ten, while the women are predicted to finish second in the league.

Indiana coach Mike Woodson is bringing back fan favorite Jordan Hulls as the Hoosiers’ team and recruiting coordinator.

Indiana’s first road basketball game of the season will be a challenge. The undefeated Hoosiers will face Syracuse Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge at the Carrier Dome.

Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 19 points and blocked seven shots and Race Thompson finished with a double-double as Indiana rolled to a 85-49 victory over Northern Illinois in nonconference play on Friday night.

Trayce Jackson-Davis enjoyed having the fans back inside Indiana's home arena Tuesday night.
