Update:
John Decker of IU's Scout affiliate just tweeted this story (subscription required). Seems like no decision tonight after all. I'll keep watch in case anything changes.

Update:
Still no word at half past seven. We'll keep trying. Bear with us.

Update:
All signs point toward a decision coming tonight in the next couple of hours. About to settle down with some food from my favorite restaurant back home and wait. Might be another late night, so I've already made the coffee. Should, hopefully, be very eventful and pleasant.
Join me, won't you?

Update:
Crean has returned to Bloomington and is touring the new basketball facilities according to his Twitter account, indicating to me that he won't be taking a return trip at the end of the no-contact period tomorrow. This is a bit of a stretch, but that could mean he has said all there is to say to Abraham, strengthening the possibility of a decision being made tonight.
Looks like we'll see in a couple hours.

Update:
Inside the Hall is now reporting the decision might come at 9 p.m. Not sure of the reason for the discrepancy, but I've reached out to my source to receive some clarification. Regardless, all signs point to tonight as the night. Then again, all signs pointed to last night as the night, too. We'll see what happens.

Update:
For what it's worth, I just received confirmation that Abraham will make his decision at 7 p.m. tonight. It's reasonable to assume he could really go either way at this point. Stay with us for more coverage. Also, the no-contact period ends tomorrow, and with Crean in the area, there could be a potential meeting between the two should tonight's decision time fall through.

Update:
Here's the gist of what I just gathered:
Abraham was supposed to decide yesterday. He talked to Crean yesterday, as well. Suddenly, Abraham didn't feel like deciding anymore - or at least couldn't based on what he'd heard.
This morning, Crean spoke to Abraham again. It's obvious to my source that there's something going on there, because otherwise Abraham would already be a Hoya. That's Georgetown, to those of you unfamiliar with the situation.
Basically, Crean has tried to sway Abraham, and has, in part, been successful. If you were to ask me as of right now, I'd say this bodes well for IU and that the longer Abraham takes, the better for the Hoosiers.
Not necessarily better for me. But more fun, at least.

Update:
Just got a text saying Abraham has already spoken with Crean. I'm working on finding out what they spoke about and the impression Crean made. We'll hopefully hear back soon. Stay tuned.

After a late night last night, I awoke to see Dustin Dopirak of the Herald-Times was the first to reach someone this morning. A source close to the situation told Dopirak "Indiana is doing a great job" in this final surge, making Moses Abraham's decision difficult, and that Abraham will speak with IU coach Tom Crean via phone again today.
There was also no timetable placed on Abraham's decision, as the source said that was "Up to Moses."
I'm working on getting confirmation of my own. Follow this thread for more news as the day wears on.
