Our defense is craptastic.

Row 41 tonight for me. Chuck Crabb was walking around up here for some reason.

IU 52 Duke 41

I second all of the love for ROJO. He is the kind of 4 year guy we need as our foundation.

[ Would people be okay if the next IU coach is a fill in for a few years before Brad comes home? I don't know who that might be but established coach who doesn't have too many years left before he's willing to bow out. [/quote] Personally, I'm not real crazy about that idea. Too many things could go wrong. I know I will get hammered for saying this but I'd rather ride it out until we can get The right guy. The next coach has to be the right coach.

This is such a great statement.  It's one of the reasons I took my time in jumping on the "time to move on" train.  The next hire has to be the right hire, not necessarily the sexy hire.  I want to win games not just a press conference.  I think the easiest thing in the world to do is to fire a coach.  It is much much more difficult to hire the right one.  Anyone can hire the flavor of the month.  I want the flavor of the next 25+ years.   I remember right before Crean was hired that a rumor was swirling that an IU plane was on the way to Las Vegas to pick up Lon Kruger.  There was a collective groan among Hoosier fans, partly because he wasn't a "name" hire.  Look at what the guy has done/is doing at Oklahoma though.  We'd kill for that right now.     I know this point gets beaten to death, but no one knew who Bob Knight was before he came to Bloomington.  We need to do the significant diligence you mention to make sure we find the right guy whether any of us are familiar with him or even initially happy with him or not.  

Sounds familiar.   I could only listen last night, so I won't comment too much, but we sounded bad.  Fischer was none to happy with our turnovers or Troy's out of control play.     From what I heard it was probably a good thing we played a cupcake last night.  

It was but, having RMK always have me hope we would adjust and get better.

That's quite true. I bet AJ hated turnovers too.

I'm my 31 years of watching IU basketball, this is the worst game EVER.

I can't wait for McNeese St. on Saturday.

We would be eyeball deep in it without Yogi tonight.

I want this game to be over.

Longest. Half. Ever.

"Under control, that is when he is special." Fischer on Troy

Niego. Oh my.

Like Eastern Washington?

Has Bryant touched the ball in the post at all tonight?

So it's a normal night then.

Troy sounds our of control tonight.

Slow starts are too common with us
