Hoosiers Basketball

For the last couple of years, watching IU basketball has been an anxiety inducing chore. This season things have started to turn around with new coach, Kelvin Sampson. It used to be that IU would build a lead, muck up the last couple of possessions before halftime, make no adjustments, and lose the lead and usually the game.

Nowadays, IU can build a lead. Or more importantly sustain one: up by 5 with a few minutes to play used to be as good as a loss. Even when things aren't going the Hoosiers' way, I am confident that they will make the correct adjustments and get things going their way. There is still plenty to improve on, but watching IU is fun again.
