  1. This team just isn't there mentally. Turnovers like that prove it.
  2. Duke and UNC both lost. Not a good day for bluebloods.
  3. 18-4 run. We look outmatched.
  4. Yep. Called it. This is just bad basketball.
  5. Feels like it could get away from us at any moment. Wouldn't be surprised if we go into halftime down 10-12.
  6. Jones, you're supposed to take it to the hoop, not dribble all the way to the baseline. God, this team is dumb. If Louisville could make layups we'd be down double digits.
  7. Basket interference counts as a turnover? Whatever helps us pad that number, I guess.
  8. Is Newkirk serious with that travel? High schoolers are better than that.
  9. 2 badly missed 3's, 4 turnovers and Louisville missed a couple layups. We're lucky that was a blocking foul and not a charge or it would be 5 turnovers and we'd be down about 10-3.
  10. That last turnover shows this team isn't focused and wasn't ready to go today.
  11. Pagano needs anything he can get to make his case for another year.
  12. Drove 4 hours to watch my first ever game at Assembly Hall…of course this would happen. After OG missed a free throw late in the first half, a fan behind me yelled "Crean, you've got to teach them to make free throws!" I laughed. Question: how early do players usually arrive for warmups? I was with a friend and we noticed Blackmon sauntering through the parking lot around 5:00, well after all the other players were there. Not going to bother reading the rest of this thread; Crean is what he is, his system is what it is and this team is what it is. Welcome to 21st century IU basketball. We all want it to be better, but this is what we are. I think we end up 11-7, maybe worse. We don't have the leadership or the intangibles to win on the road in this league.
  13. I'm not sure Irsay and definitive can be used in the same sentence. Irsay was going to fire him a year ago and Pagano himself talked him out of it. He's not exactly a man of conviction. I put zero stock into what he said two weeks ago because of what I just mentioned, and because I've never heard an owner/manager/president say they planned on making changes after the season when their team still had a chance to make the playoffs.
  14. According to Pagano, next week's game is huge. Have to finish strong at 8-8. This guy needs to be selling used cars somewhere.
  15. I hope attendance sucks next Sunday. Irsay deserves it.
  16. 12-6. Losses at Michigan, at Maryland, at Purdue, at Minnesota and Wisconsin twice.
  17. The struggles of MSU have definitely led to a down perception. Iowa is a shell of what they were last year and Maryland is largely unproven. I got a chuckle out of the standings the other day. Minnesota at 11-1 and Rutgers at 10-1. Minnesota might be decent this year, as they have a pretty good freshman. Rutgers has played no one and their one loss was to a bottom-feeding ACC team (probably their best opponent).
  18. This game only took 1 hour and 47 minutes.
  19. The crowd's reaction to Priller checking in never gets old.
  20. I might have to add one more.. 6) Win by 40-50: "This game was pointless. We lost to Butler and IPFW. Nothing else matters."
  21. We had back to back plays where someone dribbled it off their foot and out of bounds. That will get somebody fired up.
  22. "It's like getting stressed when you have a dog." WTF are these dudes even talking about?
  23. I hate it when players fall down after shooting a 3 and get the call.
  24. Miami is 293. Next lowest is Western Michigan at 206, then Bowling Green at 193. Tonight's opponent is 339. Mississippi Valley St. is currently 343 with a record of 0-11. Austin Peay is 308.
