Mike Woodson coached his final home game as Indiana's head coach on Saturday, which resulted in a much needed 66–60 win over Ohio State.

Woodson and Indiana are expected to part ways after the 2024-25 season comes to an end for the Hoosiers. Through four seasons, Woodson's posted a 82-52 record as a coach.

The Indiana basketball alum seemed to be a bit speechless after Saturday's win, but he did give a couple comments that held a lot of weight, such as him saying "Maybe I'm leaving too soon." Is Woodson's time at Indiana really done?

"Maybe I'm leaving too soon, I don't know," Woodson said in his post-game interview. "It's tough. My whole life was shaped in this building. It's going to be tough."

"Maybe I'm leaving too soon, I don't know."
