The Crimson Quarry · Jul 5, 2024
What if ... OG Anunoby had stayed healthy in 2016?
Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY SportsAs the summer drags on with little Indiana sports news to report on, I thought it would be a good time to revive an old Crimson Quarry series, the “What ifs” of Indiana athletics.
Having been a student at Indiana for the last four seasons of the Tom Crean era, I know how hot his seat was following his inability to solve Syracuse’s (in)famous zone defense in the 2013 NCAA tournament.
However much that game may have decided Crean’s fate, it was far from his only wart. When I was a junior in 2015-16, he failed to land a center for his roster. Hanner Mosquera-Perea, Troy Williams, and Emmit Holt - the tallest of whom is six foot nine - rotated time at the five spot.
