Man, I realize that they are playing ASU, but he looks like a really solid 5. Has back-to-the-basket moves, can pass out of the post, rebounds, protects the rim...
All the seats were likely paid for, any speculation on your part pertaining to reasons why they were empty? Exams, blowout, lack of enthusiasm for the team, a return of the Spanish flu?

I'm not arguing, wish coach would've turned Yogi loose. By "advised" I mean Yogi got his butt chewed out by Crean if he took shots from behind the arc.
Yogi was advised not to shoot 3's by Crean, his role was a facilitator. A major thorn in the side of that team was that Crean was still having 2.5-3 hour practices the days before games at the end of the season (for reference, Knight would do ~45 minute walk throughs the day before tourney games because he wanted his team to be rested). Zeller said the entire team was exhausted for the Temple and Syracuse games.
Anybody else have the feeling, knowing Tom Crean, that IU takes both OG and Shake (and Boo Boo Bryant if he wants in as well)? Coach Crean would make room if he had the option...
Thomas "Boo Boo" Bryant...
Imagine gentlemen, Gus Johnson with the call, "YOGI TO BOO BOO FOR THE NASTY ALLEY OOP!" followed by something comparing the big ten championship trophy to a picnic basket and the two running away with it, etc.
This class will be Crean's last chance to make that epic sound byte a reality.
