Congrats Coach Crean! His best coaching performance overall at Indiana really made a difference, and our improved defense lead by 2 freshmen is a big part of this. Defense wins championships and their hot play reminds me of the 81 team.

Great job coach. I criticized a lot, but he has been a lot better this year. Most excited I've been in awhile. Keep it up coach, you deserve the award!

Excited is a sentiment I think most of us share.  Even the Zeller, Oladipo, et. al., team didn't seem to generate this kind of excitement entering the tournaments and I think it was because we had started the infamous end of season swoon and we had nagging doubts about what was ahead.  This season, we're finishing on an extremely high note and our optimism is so much higher.
