    Watch as IU basketball great Landon Turner is inducted into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012.

    The video includes comments from Don Fischer, a letter from Bob Knight read by Bob Hammel, and a speech from Turner.

    Turner helped lead Indiana to the 1981 national championship game.  Knight referred to Turner as the best player in the country because of his level of play during the last eight weeks of the season including the NCAA Tournament run.
