    Crean and his inbound plays... 

  Yeah i was looking at this thread yesterday and both or posts were gone. Mine is still there it looks like.    12-6 is what i have too. Not a good finish.. but it will probably get us in the dance. 

  Ask me after the Michigan game, we shall see. lol

Could've easily been 9-0..

Terrible. 

I only watched the last ten minutes. Looked like i was watching IU teams from the past few years...     Funny how that works.. could've sworn we got all new players. 

Holy moly Minny is terrible. How do you not call a timeout to draw up a play? Instead, they run ISO plays.   No wonder they are 0-9. 

Are we really losing to a 0-9 team at home..    

Well i think it's about that time to get the Fire Tom Crean thread warmed up. 

how we look boys?

Won't be able to watch, expecting a blow out game. Williams and ROJO will probably have a good game. Yogi being Yogi. Wish we had a better team to play today.

    One of us will be right. 

Well Wisconsin did have some chance to nail some big threes, can't remember if it was in OT or Regulation but they got three offensive boards, missed two wide open threes.    I mean we've looked like an final 8 team during some of our games.. and then a performance like last night just reminds me of the typical Basketball team that i'm sick of seeing. Just a poor performance and yet we almost won, so i guess that's one good way to look at it. Yogi should've used the backboard on that final shot he had. UGH! good look though

I'll play this game     Sat, Jan 30  vs. Minny - W  Tue, Feb 2  @Mich - W (Crean always out coaches Jim) Sat, Feb 6  @Penn State - W(Basketball reasons) Thu, Feb 11  vs. Iowa -W (We play like Ohio State, Illinois games)   Sun, Feb 14  @MSU - L (obvious reasons) Wed, Feb 17 vs. Neb - W Sat, Feb 20  vs. pu - L (We get into foul trouble with Bryant) Thu, Feb 25  @Ill L (Bad performance) Tue, Mar 1  @Iowa L (Basketball reasons) Sat, Mar 5  vs. Maryland L( We always stink it up on Senior Night)    12-6 BIG Ten. First Round L  in the dance to California or Providence. Something like that probably :\   

That Troy Williams fast break with under two minutes left in regulation killed us. I knew right when he got the ball it would turn out bad.    He doesn't have control of the ball at all times.. he's not a very good ball handler... It's just terrible seeing no progress from him in terms of playing under control and learning how to dribble. My 5th grade girls can dribble and play under better control than him.   It's all coaching Crean.. 

Pretty much. I think we somehow make the dance, gets trounced first round and we are right back here next January talking about the same crap.

Reasons why I'm throwing shade at Crean. -Subs -That out of bounds play ( add that to the many he's drawn up) -Our ISO offense. However, our play was very very poor, nowhere near the level of play we have been seeing the past couple of weeks. Troy isn't NBA ready. Our bench is not deep at all, and very streaky. Not having another guard that can score hurts us. We go as Troy goes. This game told me that we may still be the same Indiana team we saw earlier in the year... And for the past few years. Let's play a couple more worthy teams and go from there.

Our offense went back 3 steps. We went back to the same old terrible ISO crap. That would be great if we had Lebron or KD. But we have Yogi and he can't do everything. A Troy iso would just result in him turning it over. I'm just tired of the ISO crap. It's terrible.

We did lose today...

I remember a few people before the game started noted it's going to be tough to win because of the foul calls.   Look what happened.. 31-17 in fouls?  MSU and IU getting screwed. But we played terrible so we deserve the loss. I hope Troy is in a Chinese language course this Spring, thats the only league i can see him playing in.    And of course we play the worst team in the league this weekend, so even if we win by 30, we still don't know where this team is exactly. 

Better , much better.

I'll say it here, I told my friend this just now. We will finish 5th6th in the big ten. Make the dance, lose in the first round and we will be right back here next year talking about the same crap with the same guy in charge. Quote me in a year boys!

Ahhh it's time to get the thread back into action. Those subs.... That out of bounds play... Troy Williams even being in the game.....

I love it so much!

ANOTHER CLASSIC TOM CREAN OUT OF BOUNDS PLAY.
