  1. That was the next year. And to be fair, that was a slight improvement over the Butler game, when a sophomore walk-on easily got by Hulls and got the winning layup with Zeller on the bench.
  2. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2017/03/04/iu-pulls-out-2017-2k-sports-classic-owes-250000/98736708/
  3. Actually, as the #3 seed we'd be on the road in the second round against #2, unless the #7 seed beats them.
  4. Something to keep in mind: there's a possibility our women's team will be playing in the WNIT. I wonder if they would turn down a first round home game as well.
  5. I want to point out that this poster hasn't made a post since this one 7 hours ago, has only 178 posts on this site and has no avatar.
  6. He released that statement at 5 p.m. on a Friday evening. That's what people do when they know it's not what their audience wants to hear.
  7. Like I said earlier this week. Way too many enablers in our fanbase and it's why we've been stuck where we are for so long.
  8. Imagine if they both win tomorrow. Neither of them have ever won this tournament. They, along with us and PSU, are the only schools (aside from Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland) who have never won it.
  9. It's calm since our "miracle job-saving BTT run" got nipped in the bud.
  10. 0708 said to expect an announcement Sunday night or Monday. Said to start worrying if we haven't heard anything by Tuesday.
  11. I'm always on high alert Friday evenings. Two years ago, he released a statement at 5 p.m. on a Friday announcing no change would be made. Typical Friday afternoon news dump when the majority of people aren't paying attention.
  12. I've never seen officials be more obsessed with the clock than they were in this game. So glad Michigan pulled that out.
  13. I'm not sure I've ever seen a year where Purdue got more breaks than this one.
  14. Inside the Hall. AKA, the biggest Crean fanboy website on the internet.
  15. In other words, Crean won't leave this weekend if we're NCAA bound. At that point, who knows what Missouri decides to do. As he said, anything can happen.
  16. @MichaelAnthonyy @JAult75 @JoshWoolsey good question... I feel everything is in flux.. it is wait and see .. anything can happen @MichaelAnthonyy @JAult75 @JoshWoolsey if he makes a run it changes everything..
  17. I think it has less to do with Glass and more to do with how long Crean would be here. If we make the NCAA's, Crean would be here until after our last game, or basically at least an extra week. Maybe Missouri ends up hiring someone else in that time frame, maybe not. Hopefully we just lose today and it's a non-issue.
  18. The janitor doesn't regularly tweet. He went days, even weeks without tweeting during the season. If you're expecting daily/hourly updates, look elsewhere.
  19. Missouri lost. Hopefully that job officially opens tomorrow.
  20. I stopped reading here. It said EVERYTHING about Crean's coaching ability. That game wasn't some flukey, last-second answered prayer, we got our ***es kicked up and down the court and there was nothing he could do about it.
  21. Could have just had the tourney in Indy or Chicago like always and Michigan could have taken a bus…but no, the league must continue to pander to the East Coast.
  22. We're projected as a 2 seed in the NIT right now (8 is the lowest you can be). Most of the teams you reference would not be in the NIT if it wasn't for their auto bid, so they will likely be seeded near the bottom. There are still about 10 one-bid leagues that could still send their regular season champions to the NIT, but I think we're safely in at this point, even with a loss today.
  23. I'm so freaking tired of idiots like this. They've held us back for a decade and a half and done nothing but support and enable the bad hires we've had to suffer through. I talked to a friend today that doesn't go on internet message boards, and had no idea that Crean leaving for Missouri was even a remote possibility. We hadn't talked for a few weeks, and it never occurred to him that Crean could be gone after this season. I told him why it's time to move on and got the usual "can't fire a coach that won 2 big ten titles in 4 years" nonsense. He agreed that IU can and should expect better results, but that Crean needed another year to prove himself. I ended the conversation there. I think what it boils down to is that a lot of people in this state just aren't very smart and don't like talk of change because it forces them to think.
  24. It would be hilarious if they were revealed as our first round opponent and Crean resigned the next day.
  25. Would it be possible to find out the names of any of our targets' agents? Or even Crean's? Let's spice it up even more...
