Even TB's made baskets are a struggle

I don't understand TB's regression this year. Blows my mind

Our D is miles better without Bryant and Blackmon in the game. Green is a keeper. He can break down his man better than anyone on our team. He will thrive in this offense next year

Me and a buddy were joking that his floor dive at the end of the UI game earned him another 15 minutes against Maryland

Has anyone else noticed that college ball seems to be more "down" this year? There very clearly isn't a great team. It seems like every week someone in the top 5 is losing or having a tough time with an average team, among other top 25 teams having head scratching losses. There is so much more parody than normal in my opinion. I wouldn't put my money on any team to win it all this year. My dad and I were talking about how this may be the year another mid-major, ala George Mason, makes the final 4.

Yup. I want Crean fired as much as anyone, but that doesn't mean I don't still root like hell for us to win. Regardless of the opponent.

Have a really good feeling about this kid. Think he will be special for us

Interested in hearing your thoughts on his coaching, pap.

I'd love to see anyone defend him now. Especially from the 7 min mark in

Seriously. $3 million a year for these sub patterns. Lol

Davis got hacked

Davis is back in the game and what do you know, back in it. Why can we all understand this and he can't. Why

Terrible sub patterns, Bryant dribbling top of the key. This is why Crean should be fired on the spot. This is ridiculous. Where is Davis???

Keep feeding Davis pls

Lol

If he's extended, it will probably be the first time in my life that I stop caring about IU basketball. I'm so sick of seeing the university I love settle for mediocrity and less of what they're capable of just because they're receiving a solid revenue stream. We as fans deserve so much more than what we're getting. But hey, let's load up on noncon cupcakes, win 20 games a year, and then blame it all on youth because we recruit like chickens with our heads cut off.

Has this ever happened though? Looking at our body of work over the last few years, I have zero faith it will improve.

I'm back on this train until our players are actually taught how to defend a frickin basic pick and roll. Seriously, go back and look how many open looks they got off of a screen at the top of the key. We had 2 players going after the ball handler, leaving 3s wide open. As others have said, this isn't a personnel issue. It's 100% coaching and it makes me irate that fixable mistakes are there year in and year out. We are the definition of inconsistent. I don't even care about big wins anymore, they'll inevitably get followed by a terrible loss to a team that just plays smarter. Rinse and repeat. Hello apathy, my old friend.

Simply put, we're poorly coached. Even if we win this game, it's a joke. Put us in a pick and roll on D and it's over

28-27 Hoosiers

I think he's gone regardless. He isn't going to be able to improve on his weaknesses at IU anymore imo. If he stays another year he's just another year older. The NBA loves young guys and potential

Bolded part is all you need to know

Didn't see this until now, but /thread.

I'm just so frustrated by this loss. So many correctable mistakes that we all see, and yet they're still there. it makes me apathetic.

You can call me a negative Nancy or crean basher, but we will never be elite with him as coach. He can win against a certain style and that's it. Zone us or make us play half court offense + use a pick and roll and we're toast. That's the gameplan to beat us
