PHILADELPHIA — The debates around IU are changing.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Moments before tip off, as everybody else on the team jogged back to the IU bench, freshman center Thomas Bryant decided he had to take one last shot from the free throw line.
DES MOINES, Iowa — The first thing senior guard Yogi Ferrell asked Derek Elston on Friday morning was about the IU-Kentucky rivalry.
DES MOINES, Iowa -- It took sophomore guard Robert Johnson 10 minutes of playing time to take his first shot in a month, except it didn’t feel like that. It was surprising to look at his stat sheet and see one field goal attempt, when it felt like he had 10 points already.
A little more than 24 hours before his first NCAA Tournament game, freshman forward OG Anunoby is hiding.

Around this time a year ago, IU Coach Teri Moren was still trying to find leaders and establish a culture.
The most telling moments of IU’s clinching of an outright Big Ten title Tuesday came when just about everybody was gone. There were maybe 200 people remaining in Carver-Hawkeye Arena compared to the 15,500 capacity.
The most fascinating part of these two Big Ten titles are how far apart they feel.
No James Blackmon Jr. No Robert Johnson. No Troy Williams for much of the second half. IU was just fine.
Troy Williams keeps fidgeting with his water bottle. He’s folding and unfolding his hands. He’s looking over at the stat sheet.
