In the thrill of rushing the court with camera in hand after the IU men's basketball team beat No. 20 Illinois, and in the frantic submission of photos after the game, I missed something. I was so focused on the frame that said it all (photo 9) that the story of the first victory over a ranked team by Tom Crean was lost, and indeed the story of the game itself. I had interviews at the Associated Press job fair in Indianapolis on the following Saturday, so on Friday I looked through my pictures again and found a cohesive plot.
