    Indiana Hoosier basketball at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.  While the energy can be addictive, it’s something that many of us take for granted.  As you may have heard by now, for 88 year old Bonnie Husband of Terre Haute, it was a life long ambition that was finally realized last week.  See her in depth story here:

    Bonnie’s wait to see an IU basketball game actually goes back beyond the history of Assembly Hall itself.  In fact Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall is the third home arena for the Indiana basketball team during her lifetime.

    You can take a look back at the history of the legendary current home court of the Hoosiers here:
