I’ll say Syracuse 63 Indiana 57 -
Is Coach Crean Indiana's Best Option?
Lt. John McClaine replied to IU Hoosier41's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Thank you for this! I completely agree! -
Most Important 2017 Recruits
Lt. John McClaine replied to Beachfront Property's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I feel like many others, that all 3 will go Pro. It's just the World we live in today with NCAA Men's Bball. Were people shocked when Cody and Victor wen Pro? I wasn't, it's just the modern landscape of the sport that we all love. -
This Year's Starting Five - Post CH Edition
Lt. John McClaine replied to Stuhoo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I'd like to have Newkirk come off the bench, ideally, but I think we need his speed in the starting 5. So, like others have said: Newkirk, JBJ, Robert, OG, & Bryant. A nice blend of quickness and size 6th man: Juwan Morgan Bench: Deron, CuJo, Green -

Man, Green and Davis look strong! -
OG Anunoby #1 Draft Prospect in Big Ten
Lt. John McClaine replied to Beachfront Property's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Totally agree, if you check the guys out at Draft Express, they put many nice, in depth videos out on College ballers. I'm a Mock Draft nerd, and I've seen many of their videos, and they're typically very thourough and much more than just a highlight reel. -
(2015) SF Ogugua Anunoby to IU
Lt. John McClaine replied to WayneFleekHoosier's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
That's a pretty solid comparison. His game reminds me of Trevor Ariza on the Houston Rockets. -
I wonder when we will get a definitive answer? When JBJ tore his it seemed like we had to wait a week to find out the severity.

McSwain, Davis making up for lost time ahead of preseason
Lt. John McClaine replied to Dalton26's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Thanks for posting this, these two guys intrigue me. -
(2016) SG Grant Gelon commits to IU
Lt. John McClaine replied to Stuhoo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
People also need to understand that recruiting a guy like Gelon, a NW Indiana kid, makes sense. It could help open a pipeline for Indiana to recruit for years to come in an area that we typically don't do well in, it fulfills the need to replace a shooter like Nick Z, and he's a 4 year player. I laugh out loud and then get pissed off when I read our Fanbase say something like Grant needs to Walkon, or that Crean jumped the gun offering to this kid. Chances are Crean and Staff know more about all things Basketball than you do, just stop. -
Injury Updates- JW/ROJO/CH/OG
Lt. John McClaine replied to hoosierpap's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I love our Freshman, and Juwan has pleasantly surprised me this last month. It's more than him playing sound Defense or grabbing rebounds, but for me it's that Juwan typically makes the right Basketball play. He doesn't force things, makes the right pass, moves without the ball, etc. After watching Hanner, Hollowell, and others that have played the 4 spot for IU, that goes a long way with me. -
March Madness Uniforms
Lt. John McClaine replied to FortWayneHoosier's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
They're ok, I like that we get a 3rd or 4th jersey each year. It's cool for the fans and I also enjoy it because it typically pisses off most of the fan base that was born in the Branch McCracken era. Sorry guys, not all change is bad. -
36 years old, and I've never liked it. To me it just doesn't make sense for the B1G to have one, we are already gonna have 6 At Large bids, and it's not like Rutgers or Minnesota is gonna run the table and punch their ticket to the tourney. The Conference tournaments make sense for the little guy mid major schools so that they can get into The Big Dance since they'd never get an At Large bid, but for a power conference all it is, is bragging rights and the possibility of injury. That being said it sure would be nice to win this damn thing one of these years.

Tom Crean's postgame locker room speech
Lt. John McClaine replied to Magnanimous's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I'm so happy for him. Criticism aside, you can't ever take away the fact that he's got two Big Ten Championships in 4 years. That's a big deal to Hoosier Fans after such a long dry spell. -
(2016) PF De'Ron Davis to IU
Lt. John McClaine replied to ccgeneral's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Yes sir, I'm definitely part of the Niego fan club -
(2016) PF De'Ron Davis to IU
Lt. John McClaine replied to ccgeneral's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Happy with DeRon in the fold next year, our FrontCourt sounds very exciting for next year. In the BackCourt, Newkirk, RoJo, JBJ, and Curtis Jones we have plenty of talent. Not to mention Devonte Green to help out. -
I respect your opinion, but I still think that Crean has earned his stripes and gets the nod over a first year Head Coach in the Conference.

Harrison Niego continues to add depth to IU's bench
Lt. John McClaine replied to hmhernan's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Oh Ok, if you say so, then it's good enough for me. -
With JBJ out, the way the team has turned it around since Maui, the evolution of the Freshmen it has to be Coach Crean. Quite honestly, he deserves it.

Indiana v. Ohio State GAME Thread - 13:30 EST; CBS
Lt. John McClaine replied to MartintheMopMan's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Definitely the best we've looked all year. I wish Z for 3 would get it goin, he's struggling. -
Indiana @ Nebraska - Post-game thread - 1/2
Lt. John McClaine replied to MartintheMopMan's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
It's to the point where Crean has to forbid him from dribbling the ball in any full court situation. He needs to find a guard and give up the rock. He's regressed from last year in my opinion with his turnovers, which is truly amazing. -
