By Bailey Loosemore · Thursday, March 1,2012 12:10 a.m.

In Tom Crean’s early years as head coach, tickets weren’t moving as much. This year, however, Crean’s team is winning. This year, everyone wants to go to the games. And more scalpers want in on the profits.

Column: Persevering from the post

Tom Crean was shorter than expected. That is what surprised senior forward Tom Pritchard the most on his first day at IU. Not the scandal that rocked the foundations of Indiana basketball to spawn an unprecedented rebuilding project. Not that the squad he would be playing on was bringing back a combined average of just 12.8 minutes and 1.6 points per game from the prior season in Kyle Taber and Brett Finklemeier.

By Avi Zaleon · Tuesday, Feb. 28,2012 11:19 p.m.

Daniel Moore obviously doesn’t get it. He’s the shortest man playing for the Hoosiers, not even measuring 6 feet tall. At 175 pounds, he is the lightest scholarship player on the team.
