Wow, great watch! Man, I really want Crean to succeed. I want him as our coach bad. He softened my stance these last few weeks. We just snagged 2 big ten championships in 4 years. That's a legit program and serious progress since the early 90s guys. If IU is a conference contender, we will make deep tourney runs. Crean is absolutely coach of the year and I can get behind that. I'm just floored. Can't believe how this season has turned around BIG TIME. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Yogi's dagger... gootness.. this dude is ALL BUSINESS now. Incredible. Fantastic game by ziesloft. Great D, great offense. Bryant didn't touch the ball nearly enough. I'm amazed. He is doing the work. He is making himself available. The guards just do not look for him too often. Colin, sorry buddy. U got the treatment tonight on those touch fouls. I love how aggressive he is being offensively! Is this Creans year for a run? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

The main reason we are in this is because we absolutely torched the nets from deep. 8-11. Refs are trying but that is hard to overcome. We are not going to shoot like that here to finish so we better tighten up Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Lol I'm pumped and can't go to bed. Been on vacation (carry over from last year).. probably get up about 8 or 9 Hope light bragging is welcome. OG and Juwan - you are loved. I even saw emotion from OG telling the ref his arm was pulled down. That's a first. Let OG get a little aggressive and we have a bombshell about to go off Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Guys - this isn't fools gold anymore. This team is flexing. Crean is backing off practices? Deep rotation, adjustments, post feeding, straight up man defense. He's more calm. I gotta give it to the dude. He is doing EXACTLY what we wanted. All that us left is the deep run. I did think that was a horrible move by Crean to match up with Illinois guards instead of just going big on them with Max/TB or OG to start.. granted, Niego played great in his role. However, adjustments were made and we looked specifically for the post feed over and over. I'll hold off a bit but Tom Crean has his guys balling right now. And Yogi just BULLIED Kendrick Nunn. Stole his lunch and put him in a locker. When Yogi locks in like that (Stauskus), it's over. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Haha, good post. I was a tulip believer at one point other than struggling with Limited Atonement. It's just unbiblical from a base perspective but I can also see the field from a standpoint of predestination and fulfillment of plans. For Rojo, sounding like a super bad sprain. I say we keep our big lineup with Max and TB side by side. Make Illinois match up with us. Not the other way around. There is the senior leadership. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Give Rojo the juice! #varsityblues Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

All I'm concerned about is Rojo.. dude played his tail off tonight and comes up with a possibly serious injury. Man, that's tough. Fantastic defensive stand. Teams aren't normally going to go hot like Purdue just did. Not too worried. Obviously Crean could have helped there some. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

So true, like I said, please win me back Crean.. please do it Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Alright Crean.. you want to pull some of us back on your wagon?? Bury these dudes Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Morgan, OG and Troy in with Yogi.. along with the glue man hartman. This is a squad right here Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Tis true Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

So pumped.. eat your Wheaties and a bowl of mac n cheese Bryant, Max, OG, and Morgan. Honestly, I'd let Hammons get his for the most part and shut everything else down. Similar to teams doubling up yogi, just let everyone else eat (making Nebraska pay elsewhere) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Colin...hartman... I think he is injury free finally. His shot coming back around is absolutely a knife in the other teams back. And OG, Morgan and a little niego sprinkled in can be absolutely huge for fresh competent legs down the stretch. Our bench this year us what makes this team slightly better, in my opinion, than the zeller/hulls/oladipo squad. This team is better built for the tourney. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I'm so jealous of watching other teams run a few sets of screens for their shooters. I saw a play from state where they set 4 off ball wrap screens.. in a row. If anything, it was wearing our players down which HAS to pay dividends later in the game. We won't set one screen. We just do the 3 man weave and the defense just backs up and jogs around saving energy. I am glad that Colin and Z are now making a move towards the middle to get the defense to collapse a little. That's probably what the plan actually is. I'd like to give Crean more credit than him just telling our guards to lolligag around the perimeter laterally and not even look at the big men. Rojo is okay at it too but OG, Z and Colin seem to be the only dudes executing this particular action Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Lol.. I would pay to just watch what Chuck can do for a game or 2. His principles, this current roster. A few tweaks would be all that is needed. If max can't be stopped, u feed him no questions. Decide whether we are hedging, going over/under or switching everything. Let OG run wild Call a freaking timeout when necessary. Scrap the 3 point launching - less freedom, more discipline and structure Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Heck I had a dude on Hoosier Nation argue with me for days that Crean should have 5 free years before any expectations hit. Incredible. Gocolts came to my rescue however.. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I'm telling you guys. College basketball is turning into big time wrestling. It's is blatantly obvious that the refs change their calls based on creating drama in the game. They were not going to let us put the nail in the coffin with a few mins left. They did what they needed to in order to create drama. It's a business move to keep the sport extremely exciting. There is a reason March Madness exists. But Nick Z, Rojo and Hartman. Wow fellas, great game And that free throw Stat line?? Shooting 90% as a team. Game winner. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

No time outs called when we need them to refocus. Penn state just giving us 3s knowing we were off tonight and we took the bait every time. Bonus with like 13 Mins left and we don't do 1 post feed or drive to take advantage. And the zone, why.. the zone. We have the best defense in the big ten with straight man.. Tom Crean always over thinking the game. We are going no where with this guy running the ship. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Pat knows Crean.. no doubt about it Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Hahaha.. foster just got on the table and put up "the #1" Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

We didn't expect Crean to coach 2 good games in a row did we? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Crean waits until now, to call a timeout. Get this guy out of Bloomington in April. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Lmaooooo.. Tom crean calls a timeout Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
