I see no reason why IU can't execute a similar turnaround, given our more prestigious program and more experienced coach.

Crean never contended for anything at Marquette, and how long was he there? IU has a bunch of marginal players committed. Certainly not blue-chippers. Give me a break!

Most years, there isn't a lot to talk about in relation to IU when the summer months come rolling around.

There's a good chance this team won't be playing anything after the Big Ten tournament anyway. I may be wrong. This team has a lot of potential but will be very young and we don't even know for sure if we'll have Crawford. However I don't think the Hoosiers will get any further punishment from the NCAA. With a new team and completely new staff the NCAA will probably love the changes that have been made. They have already made an example out of IU by pulling this school into such a negative spotlight. It is rather frustrating worrying about things like this when I live close to a top 5 school and see constant MAJOR NCAA violations by the local team. At least IU cares and IU fans care about the rules. I've always been proud of my Hoosiers playing by the rules.
