Basketball recruits sign letters of intent
The Movement is official, minus Gary Harris. All five commits from the class of 2012 sent in their national letters of intent to IU on Wednesday.

College basketball is, without a doubt, the best sport to watch as a spectator or as a fan. It seems like just yesterday that we had an 11 seed playing an eight seed in the Final Four. The excitement that comes with an entire season of college basketball is second to none.
Make no mistake, the 2012-2013 Indiana Hoosiers will be a new benchmark for this program. Whereas modest four-star recruits were satisfactory in the 2009 class (Jordan Hulls, Christian Watford, Maurice Creek) and five-star forward Cody Zeller was considered a surprise in Crean’s current freshman class, the class of 2012 is why the term “Indiana basketball” will again carry a once-respected connotation.
According to Brian Snow of Scout.com, 2012 shooting guard Gary Harris has committed to Michigan State. Harris took his official visit to East Lansing this past weekend.
Bbehind the sophomore forward Will Sheehey's subdued demeanor is a blossoming talent that led all IU scorers with 18 points in the Hoosiers’ 90-72 exhibition win against the University of Indianapolis.
The Hoosiers won their first and only exhibition game, defeating the University of Indianapolis, 90-72, Saturday at Assembly Hall. IU was aided by a 50-point outburst in the first half, that allowed IU a double-digit lead the entire second half.
The crowd cheered every time freshman forward Cody Zeller touched the ball, wanting to see the 2011 Mr. Basketball in action. However, Zeller waited for his opportunities as the Hoosiers continued to build a double-digit first-half lead.
In it's only exhibition game of the season, IU defeated University of Indianapolis, 90-72.
The live chat for the only exhibition game of the 2011-2012 men's basketball season begins at 7 p.m.
Columnist Avi Zaleon lists his expectations for IU versus UIndy exhibition game Saturday.
Here’s a look inside the numbers of how IU has fared in exhibition games in the Tom Crean era:
Now, for the third consecutive season, the University of Indianapolis looks to knock off a Division I opponent when it heads to Bloomington this Saturday evening to take on IU in the Hoosiers’ only exhibition game of 2011.
This season, the Hoosiers can thrive if they execute an up-tempo offense that centers around transition play, following a year when they gave up the most points in the Big Ten.
The IU men’s basketball team welcomed local trick-or-treaters into Assembly Hall on Saturday afternoon with a 30-minute intersquad scrimmage.
The IU men’s basketball team is 28-66 in the Tom Crean era. It is 8-46 in Big Ten play during that three-year period. On top of that, the Hoosiers are 1-26 in Big Ten road games under Crean.
This Saturday, Justin Pagan and his senior teammates have the opportunity to bring their careers full circle. It is once again Homecoming, and the Wildcats are the opponents one last time.
At Big Ten Basketball Media Day, men’s and women’s basketball coaches and players expressed that consensus, but most talked about how another addition to the conference brings more competition for all teams involved.

Hoosier Hysteria belonged to Will Sheehey.

The headliner of a plethora of prospective student athletes was Gary Harris, the No. 25 ranked player in the Class of 2012, according to rivals.com.

I’m willing to bet this was the first time in Assembly Hall’s 40-year history that blow-up guitars, imitation Ray Bans and Usher shared the same floor that was once graced by Bob Knight’s airborne chair.
