Indiana's Assembly Hall gets electric before tipoff

Bloomington, Ind. — ESPN’s College GameDay has wrapped up and now it’s time for the showdown between No. 1 Michigan and No. 3 Indiana.
The crowd at Assembly Hall has been raucous since the doors opened at 7:00 and there’s not an empty seat in the house. With all the pregame preparation and the time to get lathered up, the Hoosiers fans have come ready for their big game.
No. 2 Kansas lost, so it looks like whoever wins this game is going to be No. 1 in the country.
There are plenty of pro-Indiana signs but very few anti-Michigan ones and Assembly Hall is a sea of crimson with a few maize shirts mixed in.
It’s an electric atmosphere — let’s hope the game lives up to the billing.
