Finally, Crean's team gets big win (South Bend Tribune)
"More than anything else, they needed something to really go right for them," Crean said. "They needed a signature win for themselves. Like I said to our coaches, it's going to be a lot more fun to have some teachable moments after a win. They needed to see why they practiced twice on Thanksgiving, why they do individual instruction, and why the demands are the way that they are. -
Hoosiers worked hard to earn signature win (The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind.)
"Leadership really came into it," sophomore guard Verdell Jones III said. "Devan (Dumes) did a great job, behind the scenes, of calming us down. It was a big game, nationally televised game, we knew that, and we really wanted to win. Our hunger really showed." -
Win over Pitt gives IU's confidence a boost (Evansville Courier & Press)
"There was nothing new with the effort Tom Crean saw from his Indiana University basketball team on Tuesday night. What was different in one of basketball's most storied arenas was the result: IU built a lead that it didn't relinquish, defeating Big East bully Pittsburgh 74-64 at Madison Square Garden in New York." -
Rick Teverbaugh: Hoosiers showing promise (The Herald Bulletin)
"I would really like Tom Crean to succeed as the Indiana University men’s basketball coach. I found good reason to want it to be him who brings the Hoosiers back to national prominence when he visited Hoosier Park and I heard him speak and got to meet him. I found good reason to think it might happen by watching IU win a big game Tuesday night against Pittsburgh in the Jimmy V Classic in Madison Square Garden. "
A closer look at the four factors and Pittsburgh (Inside the Hall)
"Since we did an in-depth analysis of the four factors prior to the IU-Pittsburgh game, it's only appropriate to look at how each of the factors played out."

Congratulations
Excellent win against Pitt.
I would wish you luck on Saturday, but I bleed Blue.
I will admit though that despite the rankings, I have been more worried about the game on Saturday than I was of either UNC or UConn. I have always deeply respected Indiana and feel that anyone that takes the Hoosiers lightly is just asking to be disappointed.
Again, congratulations on the win.
Well, Kentucky will be heavily favored, but Tuesday’s game gives is a tiny bit of hope.

I agree. Big win, but not a signature win.
Beating last year’s Pitt team would have been a signature win. However, it may prove to be a turning point for the program. With young players, it is so important for their confidence level to beat teams that they are not supposed to beat.
I would call it the signature win so far.
There better be one that trumps this not too far down the road.
