It's been 20 years since Bob Knight stepped foot in Assembly Hall to see the Indiana Hoosiers play.

That streak is expected to end Saturday.

The Hall of Fame coach who led the Hoosiers to three national titles during his 29-year tenure has made plenty of appearances around Bloomington since moving back last year, but attending an IU basketball game has remained a long shot. Until now, according to Tom Brew of Sports Illustrated.

Knight will likely attend Saturday's rivalry game between Indiana and Purdue at 2:00 p.
