    IU vs Western Kentucky Game Thread

    I'm a WKU student. It's odd not rooting for Indiana to win. It's also odd knowing Indiana is gonna Indiana like it did. Defense obviously needs to step up for the Hoosiers.

    Analysis: The hunt for a 4-0 start

    Maybe it's because I subconsciously elevate WKU's football team after watching them the last couple seasons and because I am more uncertain about IU football, I just can't convince myself that Indiana will beat WKU this season. I think WKU's offense will be too much at the end of the day. I think it will be close game, however, so I could easily be wrong.

    GOP Debate...

    IStandWith.com slotted me: Jeb Bush 91% Marco Rubio 84% Rand Paul (meh) 84% Scott Walker 81%. Pretty interesting how sites and quizzes like these work.

    Stan Robinson transferring

    @JonRothstein: Indiana's Stanford Robinson will transfer, sources told @CBSSports. Two years of eligibility remaining. Story coming. #iubb Edit: Can't say I'm surprised.

    Potential fallout from coaching change

    I noticed that too and went over a few times to make sure. He's nowhere to be found.

    Potential coaching change suggestions

    Harper's gonna have a good team in the next couple seasons. This year's team is a little weird with its ups and downs, but it can certainly go on a run in the C-USA Tournament. Most, if not every WKU fan, love Harper.

    At this point, I don't think my brain could handle wtf is actually going on.

    BB, I want to conduct an experiment...

    I wouldn't be surprised if he's back, but I just don't think that would be in anyone's best interests. I'll say he is not back next year.

    Potential fallout from coaching change

    Someone on twitter mentioned to me that Indiana fans can't get out of the shadow of Bob Knight. No one has given Indiana fans a reason to get out of his shadow. After so many mediocre years, I don't fault anyone for holding onto winning memories. Hoosier fans are sensible enough. If a coach comes in and wins, then they can "move out of Knight's shadow." Knight will always be a legend and be held in high esteem, but the right coach can definitely move the fan base forward and create his own legacy. Hoosier fans can't stay too attached to Bob Knight, but they certainly shouldn't completely detach from him either.

    Potential coaching change suggestions

    I don't think Crean is coaching for his job Saturday. Even if Indiana wins, I don't think it changes anything. One game doesn't turn things around just like one game didn't put things where they are now.

    I've never been the biggest Ray Harper fan, but he is building a really nice team down here.

    Potential fallout from coaching change

    I've been very hesitant to call for a change, but I think at this point a change is almost needed. Essentially no one continues to like and support Tom Crean as Indiana men's basketball coach. Why would anyone want to play in an environment with a palpable sense of disdain from the fans to the coach? Crean has stagnated from results to recruiting, and no one knows if he can rise out of that. I know people may be hesitant of the unknown and don't want to make a lateral move. But at some point you have to trust the power of the Indiana name as well as money to lure an upgrade at coach, presumably an upper tier coach. I don't think Crean is necessarily a bad coach. I'd like him down here in my hometown at WKU. But I just don't think he can continue being Indiana's coach. He has given his all to the program but that just doesn't seem to be enough. If Indiana misses the tournament, then a change definitely needs to be made.

    Post Game IU vs. Northwestern

    I generally like him more than most, but I don't know how much he can really be defended at this point. I don't feel comfortable calling for his job, but I wouldn't call myself a big supporter. Crean's support continues to dwindle steadily and this fuels the fire. If the Indiana name still carries as much weight as I hope -- "It's Indiana" -- I would hope that along with some money the Indiana name could help bring a better coach in. I don't know who that better coach would be, but Indiana will never get a better head basketball coach if it doesn't try.

    The fans aren't going to the games?

    I play high school tennis, but haven't played any sort of organized basketball since seventh grade. Am I still allowed to comment on Indiana basketball?

    2015 NBA Draft...

    I think Yogi's gone, but JBJ and Troy stay. I wouldn't be too surprised if all three came back though.

    My Boy Yogi

    Yogi's draft stock can't rise a whole lot higher. I'll be surprised if he returns next season.

    Schedule

    WKU's offense will probably carve up Indiana's defense. But then again, Indiana offense should carve up WKU's offense. That will definitely be a high scoring game for sure. I live in Bowling Green and I know WKU likely won't be an easy game. The defense improved towards the end of the year, but I still think IU can win that game. I say Indiana goes bowling next season.

    IU v. Wisco Game Thread 2/3 7pm on ESPN

    To me, it seems like he's trying to come off as funny, witty, and/or snarky, but his execution is generally very poor.

    Compared SportsCenter to The View and said something along the lines of "get these women off my screen."

    IU v. Wisco Game Thread 2/3 7pm on ESPN

    Honestly, I'm getting a little frustrated with this team. I think its a good team, but I find myself getting more frustrated than usual to watch recently. I know the Hoosiers are surpassing expectations so far and that's great. But when a team surpasses expectations, I believe it creates new, higher expectations. Over the last few games, those haven't been met. Now I don't expect Indiana to win every game or be a dominant team, but I'm less than thrilled with its recent play and performance. Because the Hoosiers have surpassed expectations thus far, I expect a little more effort and execution, especially defensively. I still believe this is a tournament team that can maybe be dangerous in March and I'm not necessarily losing faith in the squad itself yet, but I'm just a bit unhappy with recent performance. Go Hoosiers!

    Yikes. That's all I have to say. Turning off the game now.

    Anunoby and Morgan

    Hopefully it's nothing serious. @NoahCoslov: Juwan Morgan, Indiana commit, being helped off floor @BassProTOfC with Crean here watching, looks like R knee, barely any pressure on it @ebosshoops: Juwan Morgan being helped of floor with what looks to be a knee injury. Hopefully nothing serious. #BassProTofC

    DraftExpress Rankings: Top 100 Prospects

    I'd be surprised if any Hoosier left for the draft this year. I just don't see any player being rated high enough to justify leaving school.
