  1. @SethDavisHoops: I think he will, yes. Gotta tune out the noise and get his guys to D up. https://t.co/1NWeowE0GQ
  2. It's going to be in the 60's in the city this upcoming weekend. I don't know if the elements are coming anytime soon up here... Very odd, but I like it.
  3. So Gelon is good. We're good. Crean is not good. Let's play ball.
  4. @ajguyton: I'd love to wash IUs uniforms, that's how much I'd love to be a part of that program https://t.co/V139UTuLwI
  5. Charge your battery.   And yes, this will be very funny. They should just have everyone wear white, and then crowd into columns. There will be more than enough empty seats to make up the red stripes.
  6. I'm telling you, ESPN has been trolling Crean for a while now. I know Crean always takes goofy pics, but they seem to always find the worst.
  7. Here's my question: Why did Watford, Zeller, Oladipo, and Hulls overcome Crean's deficiencies, and these players can't?
  8. Still refusing to feel bad for the players after that performance. Quotes from Doyle:   "The Blue Devils outrebounded Indiana 38-25. Duke missed 35 shots and grabbed the offensive rebound on more than half of them (19). “We thought we could drive and get offensive boards if we were patient and strong,” said Krzyzewski. The Blue Devils spent the game diving all over the court, diving over press row, diving into the cameras on the baseline. I saw IU sophomore James Blackmon Jr. hit the floor once, but he tripped. And while the ball was on the court near him, he just sort of reached for it. Duke’s Matt Jones then dived on the ball and passed it to a teammate for a bucket that gave Duke a 25-point lead. Here’s a stat that illustrates what I’m talking about: Indiana’s starting frontcourt – Troy Williams, Thomas Bryant and Hartman – played 41 combined minutes in the first half and combined for zero rebounds. None. Another stat: Duke entered the game No. 1 in the country in points per possession at 1.18 – and were much, much better against Indiana. The Blue Devils scored 1.49 points per possession, their most efficient offensive game against a major-conference opponent in 20 years. Coach K tried to be diplomatic about that."   "Defense is effort. So is rebounding. And late in the second half, after nearly 36 minutes of basketball, the Hoosiers’ leading rebounder was someone called “TEAM.” That’s who gets credit for the rebound when it goes out of bounds. The team gets the rebound, not a player. And with 4 minutes left, “TEAM” was Indiana’s leading rebounder with five. Robert Johnson was next with four."   Zero heart from anyone outside of the first 8 minutes of the game until the second half of the second half when Yogi and Troy started playing like the experienced NBA-hopefuls they are. Crean was god awful in every regard, but every single player who set foot on the floor last night, and in Maui, failed.
  9. Push the button. Push it.
  10. Crazy stat: Indiana scored 32 points in the final 11 minutes and 31 seconds of the second half and lost by 20.
  11. Rabby is gonna lose his credentials with that last question. @insidethehall: Video: Tom Crean reacts to loss at Duke https://t.co/xThuK49Wt0 #iubb via @insidethehall

  14. Here's a read on where the blame should fall: http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2015/12/03/doyel-dukes-effort-20-point-edge-over-indiana/76668728/ TL;DR - the blame falls on everyone, including the players.
  15. Has anyone seen post game comments from Crean?
  16. Sorry, brain is too busy trying to process what I just witnessed.
  17. Going to go try and purge my mind, body, and soul of that experience. Someone call me when Martha finished mopping this mess up.
  18. @Grady: No y'all didn't use that pic.... https://t.co/cCOnl0hIBO
  19. ESPN legitimately hates Crean. @SportsCenter: Indiana is now 3-17 against AP Top-10 teams when unranked under Tom Crean. https://t.co/BEXj40J3ZP
  20. Where the heck did a GMM excuse come from. He wouldn't even be on the team anymore!
  21. There are 2.5 million reasons you will have to watch Crean till July. @IUMopLadyMartha: To think it's going to cost 7 million plus to get out of this mess..
