Video: Indiana honors Elston, Hulls & Watford

Prediction: Indiana's 2013 senior class will hold a special place in Hoosiers fans' hearts. This is a group, after all, that committed to Tom Crean following the painful 6-25 2008-09 campaign, the team's first in the wake of the Kelvin Sampson NCAA violations. It's also a group that took its lumps before helping turn Indiana around and catapulting it back to the top of the sport.
