We ran a poll last week (courtesy of our friends at big SB Nation) asking Indiana fans a simple question: How do they feel about the Darian DeVries hire for the men’s basketball program?
Coming off of a disappointing two-season stretch culminating in another missed tournament, the fanbase could use any optimism it could get. It looks like the DeVries hire has provided some at the very least:

Respondents were pretty overwhelmingly in favor of the hire with a plurality indicating they feel great about the hire.
DeVries probably won the press conference too with notes on shooting, specifics of his practice regimens and a note on the importance of roster construction with the pieces making sense and fitting together on the court.
