After the 2024-25 college basketball season, head coach Mike Woodson will be parting ways with the Indiana Hoosiers. However, after a Senior Day victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes, Woodson expressed mixed emotions about leaving, citing nostalgic memories of his own playing days. The Hoosiers needed the win to boost their NCAA Tournament chances, and the victory secured them a first-round bye in the Big Ten Tournament and their fifth Quad 1 win. Woodson’s announcement of his departure came when the team was 14-9 overall and 5-7 in Big Ten play but finished strong at 19-12 overall and 10-10 in the Big Ten, improving their conference standing from 12th to ninth.
Woodson, a former Indiana player, reflected on his time at Assembly Hall, hinting that he may not be quite ready to say goodbye. The Hoosiers will face the No. 8 seed in the Big Ten Tournament under Woodson’s leadership for the last time before potentially making their third NCAA Tournament appearance under his coaching.
Despite the upcoming changes, the team and fans can look back on a successful season that included memorable victories and a strong finish. The search for Woodson’s replacement will soon begin, but for now, the focus remains on finishing the season strong and making a deep tournament run.
