‘We love you Woody’: Excitement builds at Mike Woodson’s first Hoosier Hysteria

In his first act at Hoosier Hysteria as Indiana’s head coach, Mike Woodson, wearing candy stripe pants and a crimson top, strutted out to “Big Poppa” by The Notorious B.I.G.

In the middle of a spotlight, he made his way between a pair of flames shooting up on either side of the court and waved his hand into the air as the crowd erupted. His team was feeling the bouncy rhythm. Some lifted their arms and waved them back and forth. Eventually, Woodson turned to his team and smiled, swaying his hips back and forth to the beat.
