[quote name="JSHoosier" post="27932" timestamp="1388891696"]I don't know how many people will agree, but I'll say it. Right now we just aren't a well coached team. We're undisciplined, sloppy, and at times just plain lazy. Yes, we're young and that will cause some problems but not all of our problems are a result of youth.[/quote] Nailed it. Crean is another level of stubborn sometimes. Blows my mind how he allows some things to go unchanged. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Hard to pull many positives besides Stan today, but there was a subtle thing that I saw. Sheehey hit a couple threes today that could have sparked significant runs (luckily, they were "shot" down by a Gary Harris 3 both times I'm pretty sure). Anyways, the times after his shots went down, Will was begging for the ball on the next couple of possessions. I feel like there will be a point this season, hopefully soon, that Will decides to do something to get these young guys' attention and light a fire. Maybe he's already tried. Who knows. I just don't see Will as a guy that accepts losing very well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Crean probably doesn't deserve to be fired this year, or even next year (if this team underachieves), but NOT because of what he has done for IU. The honeymoon is over. We are relatively successful again and the sanctions are lifted, it is now time to start performing. Crean is a pretty darn good recruiter. Great motivator. Good PR guy for the school. BUT basketball comes down to X's and O's and preparing your players to execute. From what we all have seen, Crean struggles with adapting to what the great coaches of the B1G throw at him (Izzo, Matta, Ryan). Looking to the future, I'm not convinced Crean is the man to take us where we want to go. But I am all for giving him more time, especially with this transition season we have going.

Last time IU had a home B1G game on Christmas Break at home, I was there. They beat #2 Ohio State. Tomorrow, I will be there. That has to bring some good vibes right? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

[quote name="GoHoosiers09" post="26970" timestamp="1388721043"]those are new sorry for any confusion. When i was there last feb. they werent. Saw someone rt this and thought id share[/quote] Ah I see. Never sat up in that area before, but it's nice they installed these. Always avoided those seats because of the scoreboard sightline issue.

[quote name="GoHoosiers09" post="26968" timestamp="1388720844"]last year i sat in the last row of the main level which i think is row 45... anyways these would have been nice to have lol, i guess from the tweet i read its for folks in rows 38 and above [url="http://s176.photobucket.com/user/westonpaintballfreak/media/BdAxUkOCEAAjy2i1.jpg.html"][/url][/quote] Those are there now or they are part of the renovation?

Call me crazy, dumb, or what you want, but I'm not convinced that MSU is as much better than us as some say they are. Outside of that half against UK at the United Center, I haven't been overly impressed with them. Yes, they are years, lightyears even, ahead of us in experience. That's simply a fact. If IU just goes out and plays, looking at MSU as another team, there is no reason they can't compete Saturday. Stay out of foul trouble, knock down some shots, be relatively careful with the ball (I know, I know), and we have a shot. Not to mention 17,000 of these guys' best friends bearing down on Sparty.

Hope this game doesn't come down to an IU out of bounds play. We're screwed. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Crean's out of bounds plays insult my (minimal) basketball intelligence. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

[quote name="IU Hoosier41" post="26302" timestamp="1388509639"]I understand the logic of we all did it. I just don't accept it in those circumstances. You and I might have gotten wasted and passed out in college, but neither of us were on full ride scholarships and playing basketball for a big time college. You sign up for that when committing to IU. It's not like he got wasted once and was booted from the team. You get warnings and know the standards. Kind of reminds me of Kellen Lewis although not NEAR that level.[/quote] What was the story with Lewis? I remember I loved watching him play, but completely missed his story.

[quote name="JaybobHoosier" post="26283" timestamp="1388508029"]Right there with you. I'm from Illinois, right on the other side of Princeton, IN. I can't stand most Illinois fans. Unfortunately, the In-Laws (except my wife's immediate family), are all Illini fans. It's crazy. Luckily, one of her cousins lives in Indiana now, and has become an IU fan. Much needed haha. If IU wins, it will make my life so much easier with the in-laws lol. My wife's parent's don't really watch college basketball, but do enjoy giving me a hard time when Indiana loses to Illinois for fun.[/quote] You have it way worse on the family side. My whole family is from Indiana and are IU fans. Family isn't the issue for me, it's that I'm from about 30 minutes from Champaign and all I ever hear about is "that one Illinois team that should've beaten UNC, or that other Illinois team, no thanks to Lou Henson blah blah blah".

I'm from Illinois, so naturally I hate Illinois more than I hate Purdue or UK (you understand if you ever have been around Illinois fans). Quite possibly the worst fans in all of sports, seriously. I was in Champaign last year for the buzzer beater and I was sick for a week, until Illinois lost again and their fanbase jumped off the bandwagon. This game makes me so nervous because I see a 40% chance of a W. Pull this one out for us, Hoosiers. Please. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
