Indiana University basketball has one of the richest traditions in all of college basketball. The Hoosiers from Bloomington, Indiana have competed in the sport since 1901 and have won a total of five national championships. The Hoosiers are known for the five championship banners that they have hung for the 1940, 1953, 1976, 1981, and 1987 championship seasons.
