IU men's team to hold Halloween scrimmage

The Indiana men's basketball team will hold its second annual "Haunted Hall of Hoops" on Halloween (Oct. 31) in Assembly Hall. Players will pass out candy, sign autographs and pose for photos in the upstairs lobbies of the building at 3 p.m. The team will then hold an open practice and scrimmage at 4 p.m., when the doors to the court open. Admission is free.

At halftime of the scrimmage, children can participate in a costume parade on the Assembly Hall floor.

"I thought last year's event was terrific and we want to continue and build this into a tradition as well," IU coach Tom Crean said in a statement. "We hope to provide families with a fun and safe activity and give everyone a chance to get to know our players better.

"It's a fun event, but we also want our players to have the opportunity to play in a game situation in front of fans. We are hoping the crowd brings a ton of energy to our team that day."
