GW starting to pull away. Some kid just hit one from 30+ feet.

GW has been ridiculous their last two games in a totally non-flashy way. What a way to end the season. And poor Valpo, they really did deserve to be in the tournament and now look what happened.

Text from above tweet.

No. 10. Indiana Hoosiers
   
2015-16 record: 27-8

Expected to return: G Robert Johnson, F Juwan Morgan, G James Blackmon, Jr., F Collin Hartman

Key draft decisions: F Troy Williams, F Thomas Bryant, G OG Anunoby

Why they’re here: It’s hard to know exactly where to rank Indiana right now. If Williams, Bryant and Anunoby all return — which is certainly possible — the Hoosiers deserve to be in the discussion for a spot in the top three. If all three leave — which doesn’t seem likely — they’d be a bit further down in the top 25. So we’ll put Tom Crean’s team here for now, knowing they’ll score a ton of points regardless and knowing that De’Ron Davis (a 6-9 recruit) will make an immediate impact next year, too.

They always find a way.

Joe Lunardis Twitter answer to Kansas outlook after losing Ellis, Selden, and Diallo.

This is how I want IU to be characterized at some point. " they always find a way". Yes, please.

It'd be nice to be able to trust that Indiana will always find a way, but I'm going to say no thanks to Kansas' way of doing it (see, Cliff Alexander, Cheick Diallo). Those two really didn't end up adding much value for them in the end either. They've had a few various run-ins with NCAA eligibility issues lately, and I just find it odd when that seems to happen multiple times to the same team. Seems like they're playing with fire.

They've been extremely successful though. Players like Selden sticking around has been huge for them.

I do agree. I just like that they are consistently good. I also think they are playing with fire and skirting the lines as much as anyone. I do get jealous of other programs getting so much national respect. I think we could trend there with 2 or 3 more straight successful years.
