season.

INDIANA IN THE ISLANDS:
Indiana's appearance in the United Airlines
Tipoff Classic is the school's first trip to Hawaii since 1994-95 when
the Hoosiers opened the season at the Maui Invitational. Overall this is
Indiana's fifth trip to the islands. In the previous four trips, the
Hoosiers went 7-5 which includes a 1-2 record at the 1994 Maui

history. The only other time this has happened was 1918-19. Indiana has
played three games away from home before to start the season but in

and 1994 Maui Invitationals.
