  1.   WHAT?  You mean there are Iowa fans booing their own team?  They will all surely burn in hell! :laugh:
  2. BlueDevil is spot on.  In the sectional game against Logansport, it was all McCutcheon 71 - 48.  By my officially unofficial scorecard, Phinisee scored 26 pts., 5 steals, 5 reb.  He is always under control, he's quick and has great court vision.  McCutcheon as a team is fun to watch.  They are extremely patient on offense, the luxury of high school ball with no shot clock.  Good defensively and they don't make careless turnovers.       Newspaper account gave Phinisee 4 steals and 6 rebounds along with 6 assists.
  3.   I can't disagree with most of what you wrote and I have to admit that I've weakened on his firing.  However, I can't agree with your comment "Unless Brad Stevens wants the job, Crean should be the coach at Indiana for as long as he wants it...."  There is still the fact that his track record isn't all that great and we truly don't know if this year is a new norm going forward or merely a one year aberration (because it's a Leap Year?).  Short of the whole team being arrested, he'll be back next year and I'm good with that.  We have good recruits coming in this fall and I fully expect that next year better be a mirror image of this season at a minimum.  It's the inconsistency of his coaching, and his team's on and off court performance that's driven many of us crazy and if he can finally begin to deliver us a consistent product on the court, the number of new posts to this thread will greatly diminish.  Like the phrase "show me the money"; I want CTC to show me the consistency.
  4. Even if The General were still coaching, I'd wager there would be a "Fire Bobby Knight" thread or something darn well equivalent to it.  I'm sure Coach K, Slimeball at pUKe, etc., have their share of people who want them gone for one reason or another.  And besides, after 4,600+ posts, we can't just stop this thread cold turkey!  It may well be the only thread some members follow.
  5.   CTC playing Jedi mind games with Fanny Franny!!  :laugh:
  6.   And I was sure it was an Iowa opponent after a Woodbury finger poke!
  7. Jeff Borzello Verified account ‏@jeffborzello Terrance Ferguson's mother confirms to ESPN that her son has decommitted from Alabama. No. 13 prospect in the 2016 class.   ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 10m10 minutes ago ESPN Stats & Info Retweeted Jeff Borzello Ferguson was highest-ranked recruit to commit to Alabama since 2008; pledged to ALA in August but didn’t sign   Chip Miller ‏@BLUEChip_Miller 4m4 minutes ago San Francisco, CA Prior to his commitment to Alabama, Baylor (32%) and Kansas (26%) were the other two teams on the 247Sports Crystalball.

  9. Tues. the 1st, McCutcheon opens sectional play against Logansport.  Tipoff is slated for 7:30.  The game will be streamed:   http://waltonwebcasting.com/?crb_events=logansport-vs-mccutcheon-boys-basketball-sectional
  10. A little more heat on Little Ricky don't you think?
  11.   Could well be part of the reason they don't seem to be so worn down.  Also helps that we've got a bench we can count on for results and not just because we have to have 5 players on the court.  Second unit of Max, OG, JM, Z and HN ain't all that bad.  Still wish he'd pull the main group earlier in the blowout games.
  12.   Or maybe just dial it down to "Simmer Tom Crean"
  13. Not sure why there's a difference from IUSafety at #6828.      
  14.   Apt description for PUke's coeds!
  15. Extremely proud of how this team has turned it around and grudgingly have to give CTC a tip of the hat, a pat on the back, and give him credit for a job very well done.  Thanks to all the players and coaches for turning this into a very enjoyable season.  Keep the IU bus rolling down the NCAA tournament highway.    GO IU!
  16. This long distance dedication goes out to our very own BlueDevil:   Fran Fraschilla Verified account ‏@franfraschilla Wow, Duke was tripped up today.   :laugh:
  17. Taylor isn't on scholarship.
  18.   Not sure which of the 2 games you were referring to  --  my info source was MaxPreps.
  19.   Who da thought?
  20.       Jeremy Gray ‏@IUJGray In the 2015-16 year, @OurIndiana will go to a bowl game and both hoops teams to the NCAA Tournament. 2nd time ever. #GoIU
  21. Getting a little chippy in Pigtown!
