    Tom Crean's first 20-win season at Indiana came with some fitting benchmarks.

    A freshman credited with turning the program around led the way again. An injured senior who survived a six-win season closed it out. And, of course, the Hoosiers had to scrap for another 40 minutes to pull off the win.

    Cody Zeller, the freshman, finished with 23 points and Verdell Jones III scored all six of his points in the final 4:03, leading Indiana (No. 20 ESPN/USA Today, No. 18 AP) past Northwestern 71-66 for a milestone victory that had Crean's fingerprints all over it.
