Indiana has 20 wins for the first time since 2007-08 and are NCAA tourney bound for the first time since that same season. Add it all up, and some think the program is ahead of schedule in its rebuilding project under fourth-year Indiana coach Tom Crean, who has done a great job cleaning up the mess left by Kelvin Sampson. This is why Jordan Hulls decided to stay home. He wanted to be part of something special. He wanted to be part of rebuilding the school he grew up loving and worshiping.
The final weekend of the Big Ten men’s basketball regular season is here. And thanks to some upsets last week, there’s some drama at the top.

Right before halftime of Nebraska’s game against Iowa in the Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament on Friday, Nebraska’s Lindsey Moore brought the fans to their feet with a nifty last-second shot as the Huskers cut the Hawkeyes’ lead to 36-33. The junior guard took an Iowa turnover, dribbled up the floor and past defenders, then headed toward the center of the court before launching a long bomb to beat the buzzer. We’ve been building up our “Did You See This?” archive all year. If you liked Moore’s fantastic shot, you’ll want to see all of the others.
