IU freshman Maurice Creek underwent surgery on his knee Tuesday for a fracture suffered against Bryant in a 48-point win.
Monday gave IU its largest win of the season, but also yielded its biggest loss.
Creek, who was averaging 16.4 points in his freshman season is not expected to return this year, but IU coach Tom Crean said after visiting Creek and his family that he is expected to make a full recovery.
Crean has tweeted several times about the affect the loss of Creek will have on the team, saying that his players understand "it just got alot tougher 4 us."
Here are a few comments on his time with Creek:
"In visiting with Dr. Steve Ahlfeld, the surgery went very well and we expect a full recovery," said Crean. "His rehabilitation will start as soon as possible."
"After spending time with Maurice and his family tonight, it is clear they are very touched by all the support they have received from fans and friends across the country," Crean added.
