Hey guys, lets pause for a highlight replay of the game brought to you by @IndianaMBB.  This video is filmed right under the rim allowing the viewer to hear the sounds of the players, shoes, and the ball.  As an additional bonus Don Fischer's golden tones are calling the replay!  Be sure to check out Yogi the Bear accelerating down 60-80% of the court to finish with a left hand at the 1:15 mark on the video.  There are several great plays on here(... well depending on your agenda or outlook :) ).  Another segment you may want to listen for is at the 1:58 as Holt takes the pass from Blackmon.  I love the slap of the ball as Holt catches the ball.  This team is showing a lot of bounce. Let's keep this up for tonight.   http://www.snappytv.com/tc/510642       Ok.  Back to the regular scheduled programming.

There ya go.  I had to fix that for you, otherwise CC would have had to tidy up there.  Nothing personal mdn.  I appreciate what you guy do.

It's been over thirty minutes now.  No one has woke up A SHAKE with the news.  This is just unreal!

Great post CC.  I arrived back home early this morning after attending a Newsboys concert last night and this video was the first thing I viewed before watching the ball game.  This CTC guy... what a great giver and lover of people.  It was awesome to see Brian be a part of that presser.  btw, The ballgame wasn't bad either.  Congrats guys. Keep building.

This was the exact question my son was asking me as I tucked him in last night.  I told him that it is always possible.  As I was on my way out of his room he sighed and said, “I really wish we would have made this play or that play.”  I told him that I understood how he felt.  I then asked him the following questions: Did the players that missed opportunities let up on the defensive end after not making the play?  Do you think our players and their coaches did everything they could in preparation to win this game?  Do you feel that everyone on this team expected to win this game during the entire course of the game?  We agreed that it was an awesome game and our Hoosiers made us proud.  I then closed his door.   I went to the living room to begin watching the game again and pulled up btownbanners.  Curious to see if there would be as many positive statements as there have been over the last couple of days, I skimmed some of the game and post-game threads where I was amazed by the environment of this place.  I thought there must have been some special greeting page that had Hova giving out huge hugs that absolutely melted the hearts of everyone posting last night.  I appreciate the objectivity and I think/hope  it will make a positive impact on the families that are considering iubb for 2015 and 2016.   Chris Reynolds has been mentioned multiple times during this thread and I thought I would add that when that came to drawing a charge in crucial situations that it would be difficult for anyone to do it better than he did.  His feet were always moving.  The dude had to go through some serious shoes.  We currently have room for improvement, but you know …  I think our guys are making big strides on the defensive end.   You can tell this group wants it bad.   Here’s to great growth in preparation for Sunday.

Well stated XLevel.  I appreciate you including the the vision of this team going as far as the elite eight. CTC has consistently been building while the dark side has continued to tear down despite the 6-4 record with the favorable part the schedule still to come.  The noise from "Fire Tom Crean" crowd is real; however the substance to those claims is dwindling.  In my opinion it is awesome to think that the young men on our team take responsibility for their thought process eliminating the significance of the spineless blaming casts upon them and their coach.

Thanks for sharing.  I appreciate the link.

When the thought process of those people who get together to discuss the termination of Glass Crean & Co approaches anything close to the bolded paragraph above,  then I also will say Tom Crean,  It's time ....  and Indiana will never again be the Indiana that I have loved.   In my opinion the below does not justify or explain the above thought process.  

I'm not following how Crean or any other coach is going to reunite multiple message boards. Please explain further.   Edit: Thank you for the recap on GC, Waffle & the split.

When he was talking about masterful jobs, subs, or both? Dan mentioned the masterful job Coach Crean was doing and right there I turned to my wife and said this will not last.  You wait in 1.5 weeks to 2 weeks this cat will be changing his tune.  It was about two minutes later and he was yapping about substitutions.  I love the sincerity. 

You probably know better than I.  I just thought he was banned from that site so maybe there was a name change or something.  The guy really seemed ticked off quite a bit and was always mixing it up with Waffle.  Didn't Waffle and several of the members of HSN come from Scout?

Is he schoosier on this board?  I remember he & WaffleHeadFred use to have some awesome discussions on the original Hoosier Sports Nation board.

Thank you for the update.

I'm not sure, but I believe Don Fischer said there is hope of having HMP available Sunday.  Most likely to return again UMD.

                You're starting and inspiring monstrous recruiting threads.  You're posting positive! ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................                   ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................     "Ohhhh ..... I'm coming early Elizabeth!"       .

I find it ironic that Richard Pitino stands at 3-7 with Minnesota considering his recommendation for Rick to acquire Kenny Johnson was like having a large tree limb fall across our driveway when it comes to recruiting.  I'm very happy with job that Chuck Martin has done in resurfacing and cleaning up that area.  I must say he is off to a solid start laying the proper foundation bringing Holt for our recruiting momentum to spiral onward and upward.  I like the variety of facial expressions that the lad Emmit Holt brings to the table.  Forget about the wingspan, ability to defend ...ability to get to the rim & charity stripe ....  and all that other stuff.  The facial expressions are just marvelous. 

Laz, I pray that God will place his hand on your wife so that every disease germ flees from her instantly in the name of Jesus.  I'm thankful that he is touching everyone mentioned in a very special way.

Where can I get the animated version?

  "Woe is Me."      

I understand where you're coming from here; however, there are many top programs that are in the same boat.  This is a recruiting thread, but if people can't get excited about the development of 7'3" wingspan Holt over the next 2 yrs, something is wrong.

The hate of Crean showing up in multiple threads including recruiting threads is going to continue until the site staff from 41 on down acknowledges a standard & reinforces it.  To Wayne's credit I saw recently were he was trying to eliminate the negative & off topic conversations from the recruiting threads.  I understand the need let off steam about a coach,  in my opinion boy Mdn & CC general are great examples of doing so with class.  I believe I have an understanding that CC stands pretty close to 130 degrees opposite of where I stand, but I respect the guy a ton for the class that he shows & how he serves the people on this site with all the information he brings.   CC,  I apologize in advance if I have you pegged wrong in how you feel regarding Coach.

So does having Luke Fischer.

"Tired?"  Please show me the times Wade has been brought up by me or anyone else in the last two months.  While your thinking about that, here are a couple of examples of you praising Coach Tom Crean and then you come on here & go back to trashing him.   IU vs. Maryland Game Thread  Posted by schoosier on 22 January 2015 - 11:15 PM in Indiana Hoosiers Basketball Easily Yogi's best game in an Indiana uniform. I'm really happy for the team and Crean. Indiana tied for the Big lead; things finally getting back to normal. The party must be on in Bloomington; like they needed an excuse.   Posted by schoosier on 22 January 2015 - 10:35 PM in Indiana Hoosiers Basketball Crean working the refs! Love it.   Posted by schoosier on 22 January 2015 - 10:29 PM in Indiana Hoosiers Basketball Maryland looks gassed. Love the uptempo.    Posted by schoosier on 22 January 2015 - 10:15 PM in Indiana Hoosiers Basketball Best 2nd half start all year in the biggest game. I like it.   Here hopefully you can see that the Crean/Wade reference is not near as tired as your little emotional roller coaster ride where you're jumping on & off the wagon is entertaining.
