I wouldn't mind Cujo getting a lot of minutes. I think he lost his confidence during the season and hasn't gotten it back yet. McSwain makes me nervous whenever he dribbles but I think he's gotten a lot better this year. He's a big body that can play d and clean up the glass. I feel like about every other game he gets a putback dunk that energizes the team. I'm just not a fan of 3 guard lineups so I was thinking of what we could do with a more "traditional" lineup. I don't think we'll see it tonight but I can dream lol.

DG/RoJo/Morgan/McSwain/Davis I wonder what a lineup like that would look like. We wouldn't have as much 3 point firepower but we'd have nice size. Get some in/out action going.

Yeah I don't see it happening either but I still think it would be a good idea. Since the NIT doesn't matter it would give the young guys a chance to get some valuable minutes and carry some momentum into the offseason. Cujo, DG, De'ron, McSwain, etc. are all going to be key next year so a road game against an ACC school could really help them. If our main guys don't bring it from the start then I say screw it, let the young guys finish the season out.

It stinks but I don't mind it. I'd like to see Crean give some of JBJ's and TB's minutes to the young guys. I'd like to see De'ron and Green each get around 30 minutes to see what they can do. It's a chance to play a road game against another P5 school, and it sounds like Georgia Tech will have a big crowd so it's a worthwhile experience, imo.

If we're going to bother with the NIT we might as well win it all. Like others have said I think we'll know how this one is going to go within the first few minutes.

I didn't read this closely and just saw two year extension, read the replies, then read this again. Very nicely done haha.

Lol @ Crean using Missouri as leverage for an extension if true. That doesn't work after a season like this one. "Hey Fred I think I'm going to take the Missouri job, you wanna talk about this?" "Nope sounds good, good luck" "Wait what? No! You're supposed to fight for us Fred, not let me walk out :("

If Tucker coming here is enough to save Crean then I would rather him just take his talents elsewhere. He's a good player but not a program changer. I doubt Albers knows what he's talking about though. He was also trying to tell us Wilkes was coming here.

I could see that. I think he was all ready to give Crean his vote of confidence after the season but now he realizes he can't. He doesn't want to fire Crean either so he's stuck in a tough situation and hoping someone else gets him out of it. That's likely why the "soft landing" is so important.

Crean's about to leave the program in the same state he found it. If hickoryhoosier is legit then Glass has really let this thing spiral out of control.

UNC, Duke, Syracuse, UVA, Louisville, Notre Dame.. Murderer's row every night. I would almost feel bad for the guy.

Crean would get eaten alive there. In a better conference at a worse school? Yikes. Oh well, not our problem if he's not here.

He's brought the bad programs up and the good programs down, so now we're average across the board. The golden age of IU athletics as Freddie himself called it. L.O.L

Just realized this was the game thread and not the Fire Crean thread so I'm going over there to respond, sorry mods!

I don't like Doyel but he was completely on the money with this: "Indiana admitted defeat by declining a home game on national television." Now we see if Glass is okay with defeat or if he does something to change it.

Holy, we need someone to come in and rip the mic away from Fred before he can do anymore damage. What is he talking about??? Playing 8 cupcakes at home every year doesn't "devalue" AH? I think now we all see who the real problem with IU basketball is.. And he isn't the one wearing checkered shirts and drinking Diet Coke on game days.

Wow Glass really screwed this one up. Apparently he thinks only people from Bloomington go to games?? Lol. I wouldn't want this guy as my lawyer, that's for sure. I never even thought about giving tickets away. He could've packed Assembly Hall against a team that's terrible on the road but instead he gave it up for nothing.

I want to see some first half Priller action. MSB gets buckets every time he's on the court.

Yup. It's always good to avoid overstaying your welcome. We've welcomed Crean into Hoosier nation and we're thankful for the things he's done but now it's time for him to leave. If he's back next year fans will forget about the good he has done for us and things will get ugly.

Fire Matt Glenesk

Hahaha that's great.

I'm worried that's what we'll see from our guys tomorrow.

I've reserved my seat but I haven't claimed it yet. It depends on what he does these next few weeks.

What was it like during the 14-15 season?
