The Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team represents Indiana University (IU) and competes in the Big Ten Conference in Division I of the NCAA. The Hoosiers play on Branch McCracken Court at the Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana on the IU campus. The team is currently coached by Kelvin Sampson.[1] Indiana has intense rivalries both in-state, against the Purdue Boilermakers, and out-of-state, against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Indiana has won five NCAA Championships in men's basketball (1940, 1953, 1976, 1981, 1987) — the first two under coach Branch McCracken and the later three under Bob Knight — and 20 Big Ten Conference championships. The Hoosiers' five NCAA Championships are the third-most in history, trailing only UCLA (11) and Kentucky (7). Their eight trips to the Final Four ranks seventh on the all-time list. The Hoosiers have made 32 appearances in the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament (fifth-most in NCAA history). In those 32 appearances, Indiana has posted 52 victories, the sixth-most in NCAA history. The Hoosiers also won post-season tournaments in 1974, the Collegiate Commissioners Association Tournament, and in 1979, the National Invitation Tournament.

Men's basketball at IU grew phenomenally popular during Knight's tenure. Indiana has ranked in the top 15 nationally in men's basketball attendance every season since Assembly Hall opened in 1972, and often in the top five.[2]

In the 1975-76 season, Knight led the Hoosiers to the NCAA Championship without a single defeat; Indiana remains the last school to accomplish this feat. Knight's 1981 and 1987 NCAA championship teams were led by Isiah Thomas and Steve Alford, respectively. The 1987 championship game against the Syracuse Orangemen was capped by Keith Smart's game-winning jumpshot with five seconds of play remaining. Knight's volatile temper, though, often brought as much controversy to the school as success, and eventually led to his dismissal in 2000 by then-University President Myles Brand.

Students and alumni protested the Knight firing, and several players threatened to transfer unless Knight assistant Mike Davis was chosen to replace Knight. Davis was ultimately named head coach. In his second year, Davis led his team to the 2002 NCAA championship game. After initial success, Davis struggled and was given an ultimatum to improve his team in the 2005-06 season.[3] On February 16, 2006, Davis announced he would resign but remain with the team for the rest of the 2006 season.[4]

On March 28, 2006, Kelvin Sampson, head men's basketball coach at the University of Oklahoma, was named the successor.[5]
