I chuckle every time the media and the IU athletic dept. talk about how awesome our offense is. I realize that this is their job to find any silver lining they can, but do these people not consider our competition? I'm pretty sure we played at least 5 teams where we were favored by 25 pts. or more. Our B1G schedule is very weak, so it may not change things as much as it would with a strong conf. schedule, but I'll be interested to see how rapidly those gaudy statistics disappear once we start playing quality teams.

Our major players are as follows: 2 redshirt seniors 1 senior 2 juniors 2 sophomores (1 is a McDAA that a lot thought would be 1-and-done) 1 freshman These are our major minutes contributors. This is at the very least an average aged team, so anyone arguing we are young needs to look again. Just because Yogi and Troy still play like they are freshmen and collect 5-10 TO / game doesn't mean we are young. We have plenty of experience. The problem is we have a coach that can't get anything out of them and is a complete failure as an offensive tactician. If this team had been coached by K, Izzo, Ryan, etc. they would be competing for B1G title (and not due to our incredibly weak conf. schedule this year) and making at least Sweet 16 runs. Crean cannot win unless he can get Calipari-level recruits and hell...half the coaches in D-1 could win with that talent!
