I think Crean just  :farting_smiley: himself.  

That was just a weird sequence.  

  I remember thinking Vic is going to be really good.  I was thinking 4 year potential 2nd rounder.  I actually had a sig on our old site from a PU guy.  It was f'ing hilarious.  Before Vic's Junior year he came on our site and made a bet with me.  A bet that Kelsey Barlow would get more ppg, steals, boards, assists and 3's than Vic that year.  Barlow got the boot and Vic the 2nd pick.  It is a more vocal PU fan on Rivals.  Lol

I would like him to stick to his mid-range now.  We have been able to get to the rim at will today.  Would really like him and his vision heading that way with someone cutting.  We could get a couple of easy buckets that way.  

Yep.  It may not mean as much now, but the dude has talent.  We need him to believe he can be that good.  

I think Stan is better than Vic as a Freshman.  He was more Troy.  Stan has been more consistent than Vic as a Freshman.  Vic's breakout game was that first win at PU as a Soph.  

That ain't the only place.  

Jeremy beat that dude to the rebound.  Dude, tonight he looks like he gets "it".  

This is the first game in a while the kids look like they are just having fun.  

Yeah, my dog walks into the sliding glass door at least once a week.  It sure as hell isn't doing backflips.  

This year has to be some sort of record at IU for walk-on minutes.  

Good call.  

I can't believe the over/under was at 146, and I told 3 people to take the under.  I thought it was a fools bet.  Man, Vegas is good…  Lol, they get rich off of people like me.  

So glad Devin got some energy points.  He needs that confidence going forward.  That is what he is.  

I am partial to the VCU game in the tournament.  

  We don't ask much, but you can see what I changed.  

Not much I can say about that, but wow..  Thanks for that!

I felt the need to pump you guys up with a little sunshine before I get started.  Are you guys honestly shocked by losing a game we were up by 10 at half anymore?  This team is as inconsistent as a team can be.  I love them, because they represent us.  Beyond that, I am just disappointed.  I am ready for this season to be over at this point.  I think the players for the most part would feel the same.     As a team, it just depends on which half you want to evaluate to see how you felt about tonight.  The 1st half gave us Will Sheehey going off to start the game, and finish with Noah Vonleh taking over from everywhere.  It also gave us Wisconsin only scoring 19 points, while holding onto the ball.  I didn't think that was possible.  The 2nd half?  Ugh…  I hate that I even have to relive it to put it in context.  On both ends it was as much of a cluster as you could have.  We couldn't find the shooters.  Offense?  Dribble, dribble, dribble, drive, kick out, and repeat.  Either that or cross screen that worked like twice, and we ran it every play seemingly the whole half.  Just complete and utter disappointment for what we just witnessed.  Funny thing, is we scored 29 points in both halves.  Sad part is they went from 19 to 50.  Yep.     Individually, it came down mainly to 4 players.  Outside of those 4 players, the rest of the team scored 2.  How is that even possible?  Yogi had 24 points on 19 shots.  Noah had 18 and 6.  Will and Stan had 7 each.  Beyond that, it gets embarrassing.  Jeremy scored 2.  Back to that sunshine?  We only had 10 turnovers as a team!   Well, I don't think anyone would really be surprised by the outcome of this if we were given the score beforehand.  Doesn't make it any easier.  When Wisconsin chanted NIT, they were being kind.  However, I would like to remind them how many early tournament exits they consistently have had under Bo Ryan.  They weren't wrong on us.  We will end up in the NIT at this rate.  Hey, at least we get more home games!     

I am only basing this off of things you see Crean doing on the recruiting trail, but I see him staying.  He isn't going at this like he HAS to have 2 bigs to fill for Luke and Noah.  Unless he goes the JUCO route (which I don't know if there are any solid bigs there) I am leaning towards him staying.  We will see.  I think a lot depends on if the NBA makes that new rule that you must be 20 to be drafted.  Then it would be silly for him to wait 2 years longer. 

It was, but the same could be said about the next 2 years.

To play Devil's Advocate (I think he is gone too, but not cut and dry) Cody did improve his position and went into last year as the presumed #1 pick.  He would have been late lottery after Freshman year.  He ended up being the 4th pick.  Noah will be fringe top 5.  I honestly can't see him going that high, because you still have Exum, Randle, Wiggins, Parker, Smart, and dude from Arizona. This draft is stacked.  Noah's athleticism is his knock for draft.  Most people don't feel he is explosive enough to have high upside. I disagree with that, however my opinion doesn't matter.  I think the thing that may hurt us the most is the Lakers and Celtics will be in the range he could get drafted.  I would go for that reason alone.  They won't stay down long.  

Lmao, I think its so stupid its funny.  I think a person who can't see anything wrong with the current team is over the top.  I also think someone thinking Crean should be fired for this season after the last 2 is over the top.  It is somewhere in the middle for me.  I think his seat should be warm heading into next season, because things aren't where they need to be.  A lot for next year depends on Noah coming back.  Unfortunately, it comes down to Crean if he does not, because he didn't have the pieces in place to make up for Luke and Noah.  Right or wrong, people will feel he needed more than 2 logical bigs.  Too much to happen before I stress this.  Next year is too far away for that.  

  I probably wouldn't be so pissy if I didn't have to look forward to being a Cubs fan for the summer.  On the bright side, I get to finally see some of these prospects I have been told to be patient about for 3 years.  

I don't even know your wife, and I want to beat her too after that…  Anybody reading this have a cat?  I have no problem kicking a cat.  

I didn't even get it.  I think Natty is drunk and changed some scores.  Damn Zimas.
