Its called playing good teams to start the season. By the time they reach B1G play, they should be in form. (At least that's my hope)

Thanks for posting the tweets, Dalton. The tweet about one pitch answered my question. I wondered if Coach Smith was trying to audition a replacement for Halstead.   Hopefully no "centerfolds" were harmed during this game. :cool:

Is DeNato going to become the new closer or is this in place of a side toss between starts?

IU gets shellacked the rest of the half and lose 82-57. On to the womens NIT. (I hope)

Down to a 10 pt game 53-43, 14 minutes left

Game is on now on BTN Bad news IU down 33-22, about 3 minutes left in the 1st half.   Edit: Halftime - Michigan 43, IU 28

  From a Fox Sports article when Glass announced Crean's contract extension last year.   "Crean's base salary will go from approximately $2.52 million per year to $3.16 million. The deal also includes performance bonuses based on Academic Progress Rate scores, Graduation Success Rate scores and the team's GPA. If all standards are met, Crean's salary could increase by as much as $55,000 per year.   The buyout, Glass said, would cost $8 million over the next three years, then drops to $1 million in Year 4 and drops again to $500,000 over the final four years of the deal. School officials said additional contract details will be announce when the deal is formally signed."

A nice article about Vic transitioning into a point guard while still getting acclimated to life in the NBA.   http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/64466592/
