Do they not usually run by where he was? I'm not sure why he would be upset about that.

They kept trying to play replays to show what happened and I swear they were picking the worst angles possible.

Man you could hear him the moment he went down.

It's honestly ridiculous. You can make as many stupid decisions as you want during the first 39:50 of the game and it won't affect your playing time at all. Make one in the last 10 seconds and it'll get you glued to the bench.

McRoberts is in lol, and no Green. Gotta love Crean ball.

We're going to lose by 10+ if we keep giving up 2nd and 3rd chances.

Very meh. Jbj knocked down a 3 early on so hopefully that means his shot is back.

At first I assumed it was to ease him back from the ankle injury but then it kept happening. If it's from inconsistent play I wonder why he won't apply the same standards to everyone.

Why doesn't OG start anymore? Morgan being out is going to hurt. He's one of our most consistent guys.

That's true.. I could definitely see him not coming back, either because he wants to move on with his life or Crean politely asks him to leave. I really hope he's back though. We need a guy like him on the team.

What makes you think Collin won't be back?

For real though lol, sad to see how things have unfolded. I'm seeing it as a road game against an inferior team that we should beat by 10+, but have struggled with in recent years. How the game goes should show us what this team is made of. If we lose I think it'll wreck our team's confidence, which would be deadly with who we have left on the schedule.

This game feels like a turning point game for me. If we win, we get things back on track. If we lose, the rest of the season is a free fall.

Yeah with the way Crean subs he'd probably get 20-25 minutes with or without OG here. I could see from an offensive standpoint wanting OG gone though because then Tucker would have more room to operate and get buckets.

As long as we keep showing that IU is a program that can get you to the NFL I think we'll continue to see improvements in our recruiting. Wilson came and talked to one of my classes last year and he said something I found interesting. He said something along the lines of "when you're recruiting in-state kids it's harder because they think oh it's IU football, they're no good, but when you're recruiting out-of-state kids it's easier because they see it as they're getting to play in the Big 10 and they're going to go up against big time schools on a consistent basis" and I think it showed with his ability to get good out-of-state recruits to come here.

Crean got a five year extension in my dream last night. I was so mad when I woke up lol.

What'd they say? I'm trying to find the clip.

I was stuck in row 45 so the ceiling blocked me from seeing either balcony, but there were a lot of empty seats around where I was. The upper deck gets a bad rap but with the renovations it's really not a bad place to watch a game.

I sure hope we don't have to wait that long, I can't take another couple years of this. My ideal scenario is a few weeks of embarrassing performances that get Crean fired mid-season, and then an interim coach who comes in and takes us to the tournament. A guy can dream lol.

I checked it out after I saw your post but not much was going on. With the way comments appear and then disappear within seconds on the live videos it'd be really easy to ignore questions you don't want to answer. It's interesting he answered it and answered it the way he did.

The one that's going on right now? I doubt he says that if we aren't the front runners, for obvious reasons. I don't know how much stock you can put in an Instagram live video but I'll take it. Sounds like good news to me.

Yeah I don't agree with the argument that "real fans never root against their teams." It sucks but sometimes you have to look at what's best for the long term. A bad season that gets Crean outta Bloomington is a necessary evil if we want to get back to elite.

I really hate that I'm at the point where I hear talk about whether games are turning points for us and I hope that they aren't. Hoping the team I love doesn't turn things around because I'm ready to finally get off the Crean roller coaster sucks.

The number of tickets sold wouldn't change much, if at all. IU games are going to sellout most of the time regardless. What would change would be the number of people who actually show up after buying tickets.

I'm a senior this year so I'm all for that now lol. In all seriousness though I remember seeing someone on here talking about the games over break and wondering if the students being gone hurts our home court advantage, but I think it's the opposite. Students are louder and more obnoxious of course but that doesn't help when half of them don't show up. Make more tickets available to the general public and I think we'd start seeing more games played in a packed Assembly Hall.
