Last year the IDS had four Little 500 riders blog on a weekly basis (well, we gave 'weekly' our best shot) to give readers a different perspective about the race at the center of the 'Greatest College Weekend'.

UPDATE: IU coach Tom Crean said via Twitter that Maurice Creek will undergo surgery on his right patella Thursday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sophomore guard Maurice Creek will be out indefinitely after suffering a stress fracture on his right patella, IU coach Tom Crean said Monday on his weekly radio show. The injury came with 2:02 remaining in IU's win Saturday against Michigan. Creek took a long inbounds pass all the way to the basket.
Late in IU's victory against Michigan last Saturday, IU sophomore guard Maurice Creek drove hard through the lane with confidence he rarely had shown throughout the season and scored easily. It was one of those flashes that showed, slowly but surely, he was on his way back. Even later in the game, on a fast break layup, it all came crashing back down. "It," as it were, was Creek's right patella, which slammed into the Assembly Hall floor in an eerily similar fashion as his left patella did against Bryant last season.

(Pre-post caveat: I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer after IU's first Big Ten win. We will have full coverage of the team's 80-61 victory against Michigan.
IU coach Tom Crean knew exactly what his team needed to do to win. He told his fellow coaches Saturday that if the Hoosiers didn't make defensive mistakes and got the ball to prime spots on offense there was no way they would lose. The players did just that - and more - and IU won its first Big Ten game of the season and broke a six-game losing streak in the process with a dominating 80-61 victory against Michigan on Saturday at Assembly Hall. "We had very good carryover from a very good week of practice, and our players understood that it began with what our defensive transition was going to be like because of how well they push the ball up the court" Crean said.
