We may not be in San Juan, but IU Athletics is. Check out an update on the Hoosiers from the Puerto Rico Tipoff:
IU won, and that’s probably what matters most, but it wasn’t pretty.
IU took down USC Upstate 69-61 in what turned out to be a closer game than it should have been. Christian Watford and Derek Elston continue to impress, as does Maurice Creek, while some of the others are working harder for their points and minutes.
IU hosts USC Upstate tonight at Assembly Hall at 8:30 p.m.
As the Big Ten has quietly posted an 11-1 record thus far in 2009-10 college basketball action -- Iowa, somewhat unsurprisingly, was the lone loser -- two negative Big Ten-related stories have found their way into the headlines.
Then IU men’s basketball team will travel to Puerto Rico on Tuesday, where they will play three games in four days. At the end of the Puerto Rico Tip-off on Sunday, the Hoosiers will have played a total of five games in 10 days. For that reason, staying fresh will be critical for IU coach Tom Crean’s squad as they dive deeper into this grueling week.
Here's a report from the Memphis' The Commercial Appeal, saying that Jelan Kendrick has signed with the Memphis Tigers. So much for the speculation he was going to sign in the spring signing period.

Nov. 12, 2008, was a special day all around – for IU coach Tom Crean, for the five freshmen who signed their national letters of intent and IU basketball as a whole.
Tom Pritchard started every game last season. Verdell Jones averaged 15.5 points in the team’s last 10 games. And in one game in particular, Matt Roth dropped 29 points on Ohio State in just 27 minutes.
As a journalism major, stock market talk isn’t my forte. But I do know a general strategy for playing the stock market, and that is “Buy Low, Sell High.”
If you thought IU coach Tom Crean would take it a bit easy on the players the day before a game, you would be wrong.
DeAntate and I were among the six or seven members of the media who met with Tom Crean around 6:30 tonight in Assembly Hall.
Former IU players Jamarcus Ellis, Rod Wilmont and A.J. Ratliff were selected in tonight's NBA Development League Draft.
Earlier this afternoon, IU coach Tom Crean tweeted that freshman center Bawa Muniru has been cleared to play.
In a word, one could easily say IU played “sloppily.”
There might not be any true “diaper dandy,” leave-early-for-the-NBA-type talents among IU’s highly touted freshman class, but these guys are darn good.
IU coach Tom Crean met with the media earlier in the hour and, among other things relevant to the upcoming exhibition with Grace College on Wednesday, he updated us on the status of the four guys who sat out at Saturday's Haunted Hall of Hoops scrimmage.
This just in from IU media relations:
Today marks the first of several periodic updates on how IU's NBA players have faired here in 2009-10.
