Tom Crean consoling Thomas Bryant was heartbreaking

These photos might just break your heart.

Indiana had an excellent season as they won the Big Ten championship and advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament, but they ran into a hot North Carolina team which beat them 101-86 on Friday night in Philadelphia.

Freshman center Thomas Bryant scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the contest, and he was devastated after the game, to say the least.

The photos just show how close Crean is to some of his players.

For Bryant, who knows if he will leave for the NBA. If he does, he would likely be a first-round pick.
