    If we cannot get Brad Stevens then Archie is my next choice. If we can't get Archie? Meh.

    I actually think he would be a stud assistant coach.

    Are we allowed to captain this photo or is that a no no at the time?

    IU vs St. John's Post Game Thread

    St. Johns has been the underdog in both games though. I think the reality is that one of their opponents played to their level and the other lived up to their billing. There aren't a lot of positives to draw from this trip to Maui so far. Not without reaching anyways.

    Exactly! He is extremely overrated as a recruiter. In his entire tenure at IU, there was one season where we didn't have a major hole to fill. Speaking on recruiting: If we think it has went bad in the last two years, it's about to get really bad. We can kiss finishing up this class strong. Crean's seat will be hotter than it's ever been and if the team continues to play the way they are, attendance will dwindle. This is going to be a LONG SEASON!!!

    Lots of ability but a very low basketball IQ

    Maui misery thread. Consolation game vs ST Johns

    This win was every bit as bad as last nights loss. The Johnnies are a significantly worse team than Wake Forest.

    That's a win win in my book.

    This is a spitting image of last year's team, minus the hot start to the season.

    And now I'm legitimately concerned for the treatment of Crean and his family. I hope our fanbase understands the effects our treatment of him and his family will have on a potential replacement. We could be digging our own grave.

     Final Fours with the 1992 squad and the 2002 squad. I was really young for the 1992 game but I still rememeber the entire family getting together and being really excited about the game (until Teddy V took over). The 2002 run was my most fond. I gave myself a concussion at the end of the Duke game. I was in my friends converted bedroom attic and jumped up and hit my head on a roof rafter. So much fun. I live in Fort Wayne and I remember all of the IU pride that was oozing out from that run. IU flags out on everyone's porches... Local businesses rooting on the Hoosiers on their company signs... People honking and waving hello to fellow hoosiers with bumper stickers or flags flying from their windows.  That was what sealed my fate as a lifetime IU fan. Ever since????? Pure torment.   Note: I dont consider a sweet 16 appearance a deep tournament run.

      I'm only 29 years old and in my entire lifetime I have witnessed just two deep tournament runs. Pretty sad. One of the guys who works with me witnessed all 3 of Knights championships. He tells me all the time, that he feels terrible for the younger generations bc we will likely never get to enjoy Indiana Basketball the way they did. I'm beginning to lose hope and that's a bad sign for our program. The leadership has beaten me into submission.

    Just stop with the "so called IU fans crap." We all have gripes and they've been the same ones for his entire tenure. All valid and substantiated year after year with the team's poor performance against teams with less talent. If criticizing Crean irks you so much then why don't you just avoid the thread? There are plenty of Pro-Crean threads for you and the rest of the real IU fans to congregate in. Leave us to one of the very few forums, on this site, that we can voice our frustrations with our coach.

    [quote name="Whoozhers" post="213341" timestamp="1448324809"]That was the worst drawn up play equal to the Colts punt debacle. I tell you folks.... The tenor of the game was set when JBJ got the ball stolen from behind in the first half. NO other team allows that to happen. It's 2014/2015 all over again. I wouldn't chant Crean sucks at his son/daughter's high school game. But, I sure as hell will say it here.... CREAN SUCKS! Stop the BS at IU and Go get BS.... Brad Stevens!![/ That's the dream...... And why I delusionally my keep my avatar as BS. BUT...... It's not happening anytime soon. He is in the middle of building a legitimate contender for the Boston Celtics and he looks like he's having a lot of fun.

    Indiana vs. Wake Forest Game Thread

    I refuse to get mad this season. That's one of the promises I made myself. We knew what to expect. We were just too afraid to come to grips.

      It's pathetic. I knew I shouldn't have allowed myself to be encouraged from our first 3 games. I expected this against Vandy. Not Wake Forest.
