Kohl Center: House of Horrors for Indiana From the Beginning

It's been nearly 23 years since Indiana has won a basketball game at the Kohl Center in Madison, and the losing streak is now at 19 games after Wednesday night's 64-59 loss to the Badgers. The streak has gone through five IU coaches, from Bob Knight through Archie Miller, and now first-year coach Mike Woodson.

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin in the wintertime is rarely a favored travel destination, and that is certainly true for the Indiana basketball team. Coming to Madison for a basketball game has been a true nightmare for going on two-plus decades now.

Indiana has now lost 19 straight games here at the Kohl Center after losing 64-59 on Wednesday night. Indiana won the first year the building was open, on Jan. 25, 1998, but they haven't won since.

The streak is so old that none of the current Indiana were even born yet when the Hoosiers last one. And who did the losing streak start with? The great Bob Knight.

Now that was a long time ago.

TOM BREW COLUMN: Xavier Johnson had a rough night, and Mike Woodson let him hear about it in a postgame film session. Woodson requires a lot of his point guards, and Johnson needs to keep his game under control. CLICK HERE
