I really enjoyed seeing these kids play hard and with an effort. That was nice to see! So much easier to watch when they play hard like tonite. Now I'm looking forward to the Maryland game!!! Do we start Emmitt? I know I'm the furthest thing away from a college bball coach but I think I'd give him the nod. As Dakich mentioned several times, the kid is always moving and with his hands up ready to catch the ball. He also does his work on positioning before the shot goes up to prepare for the rebound. The experience would be invaluable for his development! Seems to have a really high bball IQ as well. All assuming HMP doesn't make it back, hope he can! Would also like to say that I was impressed with JBJs effort on defense tonight. First time I have said that all season. Great overall game kid. For the players, hope they can start building some momentum/confidence for Maryland tomrw. Should be very confident going into that game! Since most here has mentioned the effort tonight. For me this season would be a lot easier to swallow, if they had played this hard all season. Anyone else agree here?

Looking like a 700+k per year for an extremely high strikeout rate! He has any and all resources available to succeed here and he is not close to doing that.

Crean will be a genius for taking a program that almost a decade ago had sanctions and by some divine intervention got them in the top 25, a truly super human coaching effort. Glass will give him an extension and I will run out of fuel for this battle and will be beaten into a submission of mediocrity. Where have been the last 20 years beside the run in 2002 and a couple of sweet 16 appeances a couple years ago. Your fuel should of ran out a while ago. From the last 20 years of watching Iu, mediocrity is where we r at. If u would like to be depressed look at our tournament results since 1994. If I knew how to provide a link I would, if someone else could provide it. Thank you[/quote] I absolutely agree with you on this. Some of my all time favorite IU players from the 2002 season but we all know it was a fluke. That for our program set us back even more after the knight fire. At the time yes, that was AWESOME! The last really good/consistent teams I remember is all of Alan Henderson's career at IU. Cried like a baby '92-93 season (I was 11) when we lost to Kansas (hated Rex Walters) in the elite 8. Watching IU basketball then was a "thing of beauty." Calbert, Alan, both Graham's, Nover, Bailey, Leary, Reynolds and B. Evans. That's when we were still elite guys. Year in year out we were EXPECTED to contend for B1G titles, top 10 in country, final four contenders. That's what I want us to be back to. I'm tired of talking about will 2 more wins get us in, if we lose to NU again he's gone, finishing 5-7 in B1G saves his job and would be exceeding expectations. That crap is way beyond old.

I am BY FAR a Coach Crean fan but this is uncalled for. Not the kids fault his dad can't coach. Use a different wedge or another angle to get in his head.

Me too!!

Why couldn't we get him? The timing couldn't be better IMO. Go ahead Fred, talk to Billy and get this set up.

It is very hard for me. You have no idea! I starting to catch myself hoping that CTC doesn't have the slightest of success so we can get the ball rolling on a new guy. I hate it for the kids on the team. But the sooner we can get it rolling the better for IU bball. Glass is prolonging the inevitable here.

I really hope we lose in all honesty

Bc CTC feels the need that we HAVE to be in that ***** 2-3 zone and every now and then try to mix it up halfway through the same possession, switch to man to man. It's pretty obvious, that zone is S***

[quote name="BGleas" post="146781" timestamp="1425735246"]If Bryant commits and Crean stays (not saying that's what I want, but if it happens) I'll be really excited for next season, assuming Troy, Yogi and JBJ (definitely will IMO) all stay too. I think we could be really good next season. But the question that remains is, then what? After that season we'd definitely lose Yogi, most likely Troy and potentially JBJ and Bryant (don't think he's 1 and done, but it's not out of the question). Are we then in for 2-3 more years of 7th place finishes and laundry lists of excuses? The problem with Crean, at least to this point, is the highs aren't quite high enough, and the lows are too low and too frequent. [/quote I've been wanting Bryant just as much as the next guy here but, again I don't want him more. That's the truth! I don't want to see him have a somewhat successful season next year. Anything that would help him stay for another 2 more seasons seriously makes me nauseous. One more thing. Why do some of you guys want to give CTC pass on the season IF we make the tournament? Are you calling that a successful season? Even with the B1G being way way down this year?

My answer I heck NO. But I am going to have to say unfortunately yes because our AD doesn't think we're elite enough to buyout this clown?? So I guess he's figuring why not one more year? Fred needs to go with him if he gives CTC yet ANOTHER chance

https://twitter.com/hoopexchange/status/573347672343642112 Looks like he is picking up a Duke offer. Why not go after him??

Dude, Sweet

Well great, whatever! I hate freaking UK

Hahaha, thanks man! I needed that esp after last nights performance

I'm with u on this bro. On every single bit. Marshall would be 10 times better than what we have now. I'm trying my best to be nice and told myself tonight that I would stay away from here but I couldn't resist

Boy it does hurt. Him not starting for his current juco team? Maybe we actually have a chance with this one then. But hey, maybe he can start at IU

Referring to 2015 recruiting class

What's the latest? Hey CTC if you're going to get another guard/wing, then this kid is in your back yard! Go get him

I realize that this kid is still pretty young in this video and would accept this kid if committed but doesn't he look a lil raw??? Project? We all know CTC doesn't have the greatest track record with these type players. Now if he wants to play on the wing (which wouldn't surprise me) coach would be in decent shape

Are we not going to get in on the action on this kid??

That is pretty sweet! I'll say it again, man I really want this kid

Uh oh, this could get ugly!! However I agree. Needs to happen! Don't tear down assembly hall, maybe still play a game or two a year there. I love assembly hall btw!!! The traditionalists are getting ready to come out of the woodwork. Get ready Pritch!!

WTH else are we to talk about? This program is in absolute shambles.

It hurting the team and him trying to be his savior is so damn obvious
