Team loses two key senior players to graduation. One of the team’s best defensive players out with an injury. A redshirt junior wing player moving up from reserve to starter suspended before the season starts. A complete decimation by a top-20 team in a pre-season classic. And now, Indiana?
Oh, man, it is 2009 all over again. Only instead of Jermaine Dixon, Gil Brown and a Texas program that was peaking really early; we had Cam Wright, Durand Johnson and San Diego State. It’s not exactly the same, but here comes Indiana under Tom Crean once more.
