'We won't wear that uniform the rest of the season': Mike Woodson pans alternate jerseys.

Indiana basketball fans may blame coach Mike Woodson for a few things this season, but he made clear Monday night there's one thing you can't pin on him: the uniforms the Hoosiers wore against Northwestern.

"I have no control over that," Woodson said on his weekly radio show. "I'm about wearing our white uniforms at home, like we've done for 40-some years since I was here (as a player). That was kind of out of my hands."

"We won't wear that uniform the rest of the season," Woodson said, drawing applause from some in the crowd attending the show.
