The Indiana Hoosiers hadn’t won the Big Ten regular season conference championship since 2013, but Tuesday night, they were officially back on top of the conference. They defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes to clinch the outright Big Ten regular season championship.
It was an emotional victory for the Hoosiers and they certainly let head coach Tom Crean know about their excitement. The team didn’t want to celebrate until he got back to the locker room and when Crean entered, they certainly let him have it.
They were waiting for Tom Crean.
And they erupted when he entered the locker room
Congrats, again, @IndianaMBB! https://t.co/zidAv83j0E
