Tom Crean really, really wanted Indiana to foul Wichita State sooner

Indiana coach Tom Crean desperately wanted his team to foul Wichita State and stop the clock, but the Hoosiers wouldn't listen.

Late in Indiana's game against Wichita State on Friday, the Hoosiers needed to get a foul and stop the clock. Tom Crean knew this, apparently better than his players did. 

An excruciating 13 seconds dripped off the clock between when the Shockers took possession and Indiana's Troy Williams finally fouled Ron Baker. Television cameras showed Crean desperately pleading his players to get a foul but they did not, not until 13 seconds disappeared.

Indiana ended up losing, 81-76.
