This isn't about one game. He has won some big games but he don't win consistently and never goes far when it matters. The fans do have a voice quit spending money, quit going to game, hit them where it hurts and change will happen. The problem with Indiana basketball is so many people are fans and that its so hard to get season tickets people keep buying them even with lackluster performance, and being upset because they don't want to lose their seats. The only way is to show displeasure, and to not spend money on their products.

And just exactly how has he proved his worth? He did no better then he has this year. Yes he finally made some changes which only took 7 years, but the result was the same. Get put out early in the B1G tournament and a sweet 16 loss.

Here is my thing your all talking about how they hit a high percentage of threes and no one was beating them last night. That's what we relied on all year to win games. Most of our blowout wins and some of our close wins was because we hit 10 or more threes in that game. That usually does not happen and if that's the type of team you are you end up losing in the long run because one bad game in 6 and your going home. Also we hit 13 of 31 for almost 41%.

Texas A&M was co SEC champs and made it to the finals of the SEC Tournament. Kentucky was co SEC Champs and won the SEC tournament. We were B1G Champs and lost in our first conference tournament game. So I do not see your point here.

Interchange us with Kentucky its the same result. Texas A&M only had 5 top 50 RPI wins, but only 1 loss outside the RPI top 100 and none out of the RPI top 150, also had a strength of schedule of 63

Oh I know he will be back, but am also pretty sure that we will not do any better.

Ok lets break it down Iowa State had 7 top 50 RPI Wins No losses outside the top 100 and only 1 loss outside of the top 50. They had a strength of schedule of 12. So yes I do think they deserved a better seed then IU.

I am just saying I would have used a team we hadn't lost to already, and always struggle with, instead.

I would at least use an example that we had not lost to this year and only beat by 1 at Assembly Hall.

If you look at Tournament resumes Duke was a 4 seed with a much better resume then us. They only had 1 RPI loss outside the top 100 won 6 RPI top 50 games and had a strength of schedule of 10. Indiana did have 6 RPI top 50 wins, but had 3 losses to teams outside the top 100 and one of those was outside the top 150, and there strength of schedule was 100th. Looking at that and how they was seeding I don't think a 5 seed was completely out of line.

This is exactly my fear.

If you think Crean is living up to standards then you are part of the problem. He said it in is introduction at Indiana "This is Indiana".

    And I still stand by this.

  Record just gives you more balls in the drawing in the NBA. It does not determine where you will draft. 

  I have heard a lot about Scott Drew, but not much about Bryce.

The Point Forward experiment needs to end. It should have ended a long time ago.

  Oh I did not disagree with that. Just saying that is not something we can say he has not done. We have plenty of other places we can pile on lol

    Hey now don't be saying that he hasn't hung a banner.   

  I think there are solid coaches that we can get. Will they take us to the next level? Who knows at this point. I do think that one thing most fans are sure of is that Crean will not take us to that level. So I would rather give someone a chance then to see the same thing over and over. 

  16 I think. I know it was not him that got them there it was the team that played together and made it there despite the lack of coaching. 

  I am posting here but basically do not watch any games really. I will always love IUBB, but its just becoming harder.

  Davis at least excited the fan base with going to the title game. Then he spiraled out of control. 

  Davis might have started the trend but I made it through those years. I have not made it through the Crean years. 

  Not made about half of the fan base be in a state of mind that they just do not care anymore.

  The sad thing is we should almost be used to it.
