IU coach Tom Crean finished up his third annual lecture at the IU Auditorium a few hours ago, and here are a few highlights from his speech:
- "We are all here to go above and beyond what people think we can do. To go above and beyond what people thought we had the capabilities of back in high school. To go above and beyond what people think we should be capable of. I don't want to be at an Indiana that's like that. I want to be at an Indiana that's getting ready to win championships again."
-"People have gotten used to seeing Indiana being down. Our opponents, they don't want to see it come back. The people that we deal with in this business and all the other fans that aren't Indiana fans, they like to knock Indiana. They like Indiana coming off the losing seasons. They like the probation Indiana."
-On referees acting as an outside influence: "Except for the Wisconsin game, I did OK with that. They got me that night. I couldn't deal with it any longer."
