Alabaster Thunder

Everyone knows his hashtags are out of control!

Speaking of coaches going outside their designated boxes...

Calbert Cheaney partying too much?! I doubt it...   True story; Calbert actually got RMK to stop cursing around him. Coach was going off a profanity laced tirade and Calbert calmly told him something along the lines of, "Coach, I understand you're angry at my mistakes, but I want you to tell me without cursing because it offends my Christian values."

Posters on this site overreact and attack other posters??? No way, that would never happen or be tolerated... :wink:

I'm sure Coach Crean must have something saying the zone is effective... some stats, +/- or whatever, right?   I do recall noticing during a second viewing of the game, the announcers make note of IU switching to the 2-3 zone when IU was up 50-40. As we all know, that was when Illinois started their 21-2 run... It didn't help IU's defense that Illinois was shooting uncharacteristically well. I get that the zone is supposed to hide IU's smaller front line and all, but without the presence of a shot blocker/rim protector, the guards really cannot afford to do the "matador defense".

They took away Egg-Woo's 4th foul?

and iu still isn't guarding him!

I thought Cody was born in Washington, Indiana? His brothers were born out of state, right? Luke in Ames, IA and Tyler in California...?

Almost a Rudy scenario really...   Imagine Bennie Seltzer telling you: You're 5 foot nothing, a hundred and nothing, and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. You hung in there with the best college basketball players in the land for 4 years and you're going to walk out of here with a degree from Indiana University. In this life you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody but yourself! And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't never going to happen!   Sign me up!

They discussed this on Around The Horn this afternoon. Summarizing, Plaschke said he doesn't consider UK a college team. At this point everyone knows they're a professional team. I don't know if he was implying what most of us think when we hear "professional" (getting paid), but that is what I inferred. The other writers agreed with him. One even bemoaned the idea that UK was paying $100K to each team competing, including the Dominican and Bahamian national teams, and covering their expenses when there are so many things going under or unfunded at the university.

My favorite line from Dan today was, "Indiana will turn this over, if you let them!" It was towards the end of the game, IU was bringing the ball up against the OSU press. I laughed because it was exactly was I was thinking at the time, and I had seen it happen far too often for a team with 3-4 guards in the line up at all times.

Cody probably sprained his shoulder face palming after reading a 12 page thread on btownbanners about him being the king of France...

Wow, a Kenny Perry reference!

Geez, kid slinks around the court like CWat when he doesn't have the ball!   I could almost hear the Pink Panther theme song as Juwan sauntered about the court...

Thank you sir!

He's still a really good and respectable guy :good:

Wishful thinking, however, maybe Caleb Swanigan saw how desperate IU is for a decent big and sees a lot of available playing time???

I don't know reb. Priller, April, and the walk ons didn't lose this game, don't put them in and let the stink rub off on them! Make the starters sit/play in their filth, they're the ones that crapped the bed! Start the bench for the next game, give them a clean slate to start with.

did the msu player just get a call changed and go and hug the "squirrely" official?

Haha, didn't Michigan make that same mistake when they had jb jr and some other recruits behind the bench when IU went in there in beat them? I hope (and know) that history repeats itself!

Hanner's just protecting his draft status... :wink:

That's a "Zero F*ck$ Given" meme waiting to happen!

Tim Miles looks like a dude that'd come at grown man with a slap...

The assistant Strength and Conditioning was Seth Cooper. I think he left to train Vic for a short time, now works for the Maine Red Claws
