GRAHAM: The Jersey Means Something
BLOOMINGTON, Indiana - The last time looms. But the first time still resonates.
Robert Johnson dons an Indiana basketball jersey for the final time in regular-season play at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall as the Hoosiers host No. 16-ranked Ohio State for Friday's 8 p.m. tip.
The first time Johnson put on an IU jersey for a ballgame, he was about 900 miles away. In another country.
"It doesn't even seem like it was that long ago, to be honest," Johnson said of the Hoosiers' August, 2014, preseason week of exhibitions in Montreal. "I still remember first putting on the uniform and just having the feeling of I'm finally here – I'm finally a college athlete."
