    I don't think it's about buying into"Cean's crap", I think it's about winning the PR game. If IU keeps winning, Glass has real problem justifying letting Crean go. Now, if he chooses to leave on his own, then that's a different matter. I could see Crean "making his point" and then moving on.
  2. This is the team we've been looking for. Wisconsin hasn't been playing that well and anything close to tonight's effort takes them down. From there, it gets really interesting!
  3. I'm not sure it's made. I think Glass is smart enough to not make a move until he is sure how this ends.
  4. We are better than Iowa. I think we get this one. Crean says we are close and he is right. We are one or two fewer turnovers or dumb plays away from a much better record. Maybe tonight is the night we get there. And then, Wisconsin is not a world better either!

    For me, the ratio of these rumors to fact is the same as magic to the laws of physics.

    As increasingly worse coaches' names surface as possible replacements, we are being prepped for CTC's return. The names will get so bad that when Crean is retained we will feel like we dodged a bullet.

    Indiana's Road to March Madness

    I said before the NW game that I thought we would win three, maybe four more games depending on the BTT draw. I think that is still in play. Other than Purdue, we are not overmatched talent wise by anyone. I don't think we make a deep run, but I wouldn't be shocked by one either.
  8. It was a good win made way more difficult than necessary. I've never seen a team give up leads like this one can. That being said, I'm happy for the players and staff. The wins feel a little bittersweet considering what I expect to happen when the season is over.
  9. Blasphemous!! UnAmerican! I don't blame you one bit. I, however, being the masochistic b**tard that I am, will watch this disaster to the bitter end.

    #IUWBB - 2017 B1G Tournament

    Only four turnovers at the half! How is that possible?

    Best team on campus! I should have been watching them all season instead of the men's team. That Tyra is easy on the eyes!

    CTC has been criticized for his inability recruit this area effectively, and rightfully so. But I don't think we are ever going back to the days when an IU coach will "lockdown" the state. AAU gives kids too much national exposure for that to happen. What we should expect is coach who can hold his own and get his share.

    I don't believe there is a man who loves a woman anywhere who doesn't have that fear in the back of their mind. I know I do every time my wife has that test. I truly hope this turns out well for you!

    I would imagine Coach Allen will have a conversation with young Mr Belden.........real soon!

    You won't get this stuff from your local news/ sports show!
  16. I don't think I have ever seen a team regress as much as this one has from the start of the year to now.
  17. Years and years of absolute distaste for all things Purdue make it impossible for me to ever wish them well. I concede that they are are good this year but that's the best I can do. Nothing would please me more than to deny them clinching a share of the title tonight on their home court!

    Dominican! Nothing wrong with that or the Dewars. My hat's off to you!
  19. So happy to see these guys finally get one. Now go beat Purdue!

    Didn't Fife actually bite someone during a game while at IU. Talk about intense!
  21. With respect to Mr Glass, of course he could "just lie", he is an attorney after all! That being said, I like him and think he's done a good job at IU and, unlike some of his predecessors, he's an IU guy.
  22. I think / hope we win tomorrow. In fact, I think they win three, maybe four more depending on the BTT draw, to close out the season. For all that's wrong with this team, it almost has to be an us against the world mentality in the locker room.

    Retain Tom Crean Thread

    Lower expectations leads to lower stress which increases life expectancy.
  24. I want a new coach but am not convinced we get one this year. I'm more than ready to know one way or the other. Glass seems like the type to always have a list, and when the time comes, to consult a select few people and make his own choice. I have no idea what he is thinking and so far he is not saying. I know that without change my expectations going forward will be very low.
