By Jordan Cohen · Wednesday, Jan. 30,2008 2:02 a.m.

Wait, Tom who? That was the reaction of most Hoosier fans this fall when virtually unknown Tom Pritchard pledged to play basketball next season for IU coach Kelvin Sampson. Sampson had never heard of the 6-foot-8 big man when he first saw him play this past summer.
