I'm not sure I've ever seen a team, in any sport, at any level, where the head coach was more of a net negative than Tom Crean. Unbelievable how much he holds this team back.
Good thing we have Tom Crean to make halftime adjustments and counter their run.
Guarantee if we lose, Crean will blame it on not having Blackmon. He's probably glad Blackmon is out; gives him a built-in excuse.
What killed them early last season was Hammons and Haas frequently getting in foul trouble. I think they benefitted from Big Ten officials and their "no blood, no foul" method of officiating games.
Wisconsin was a 6 point underdog in this one. At home.
The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette had a predicted order of finish for the Big Ten today and had the Badgers 12th. It was pretty surreal to see them that far down the list. I think they'll finish higher than that, but it's still pretty crazy how far they've fallen.
Ezekiel Elliott got caught driving without a license, driving while suspended and was involved in an accident that injured two people.
Urban being the classy guy that he is, plans to play him in the Fiesta Bowl.

It's reached a point where I enjoy discussing potential new coaches and the news and rumors surrounding them more than IU basketball games. That's wrong on so many levels, but it's what this regime has done to me.
I've never understood why any punt/kick returner would try to fight for extra yards. You've got literally five or six dudes all trying to blow you up at the same time. Just down it!
At some point they'll bring up Crean and probably spend an entire possession talking about what a great job he's doing and how IU fans expect too much from him.
When we're only playing one of our biggest rivals once, it's kind of a big deal. This was a topic of considerable outrage a few years ago. Now, if it was someone like Northwestern or Penn State, your snarky reply would have made a better point.
