For the first time since March 28, 2013, two former Indiana Mr. Basketball winners walked out to midcourt as starters for the IU basketball program. When Jordan Hulls and Cody Zeller did it more than eight years ago, it was widely expected. They had started all year for IU’s last team to achieve a No. 1 ranking.

The Crossroads Classic came to end over the weekend, and if this kind of reception in Indianapolis continues, Mike Woodson might want to think twice about bringing his team back up to his hometown. Just nine months ago irate fans booed as Indiana missed free throws against Rutgers in the Big Ten Tournament at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. On Saturday it was Xavier Johnson who drew the ire of the petulant segment of the fans in the Circle City.
