Looks like a good thing to me.

Im close to needing the same

You havent been here for a while, have you?

That is Creans gameplan

At home Espn game and we let Wisky out score 13-0 to start. Embarrassing, AGAIN!

This team has become a dumpster fire. AH is the only reason we are in it. Watch Wisky pound us down low in the second half.

He is such a wimp. Happ pushing him around like a rag doll.

We went to HH and got caught in a 6 mile back up on 46 in Brown county and then took 37 when we left and got caught in that mess. Hoping 69 helps traffic to Btown when finished.

I have my #1 choice (BS) but for petes sake if he is not available you still make a change. Lets not be the definition of insanity.

Lower expectations before the game.

Tells me the committee didnt think much of us as B1G champ or UK as SEC champ. I love any UK win. That was a good team not a great one under Cal. We were all confident of that win. We all saw what happened the next week against an elite team. Ugly. Which goes back to the original point.We dont recruit well enough for Crean to compete against the elites in the tourney.

Wisky will be solid. The rest I dunno.

True, but there is another elite level above kids we've been getting which I believe is what Wayne is talking about. For instance we couldnt compete with Duke or UNC last year. I think we can all see now why JBJ and TB didnt go to UK.

wow!

I dont think it would matter tonite. Clemson will handle Bama if they play like this.

QB please!

We talk a lot about our kids sports and Butler and IU some. Havent got to BS yet.

Remember when if an IU team outrebounded and outshot the opponent at the ft line it equaled a W? Now it equals a 15 point loss.

Without a doubt.

I was checking out their schedule today. Nova and X coming up at home. May try to catch one of those or may try to catch them at X later on.

I wouldnt be against it. I go to church with Matt Howards older brother and we were just discussing this.

I called this Newkirk thing last year. Knew Crean would stick with him no matter what. Seen it before. He needs to go to the bench. JBJ as well needs more time on the pine. Other than that Im having a hard time blaming the guys right now.

I said it during the Butler game. Great coaches get a lead on us then manage the game in the second half. All you have to do is kill momentum when we start to run. Piece of cake for guys like Pitino and Holtmann.

Watching the Bama game got me to thinking about really great coaches. The Sabans, Meyers, Izzos, Coach K arent trying to reinvent the wheel. These guys are sound fundamentally in their respective sport, usually great on defense and recruit great players to be successful. IU under Crean is never sound on fundamentals, never great on defense, always turns the ball over at a high rate and have to hit 15 threes a game to overcome this. Will never be a recipe for success. Bama didnt have a great game today but they were sound on D then went to the punishing run game in the fourth quarter. Fundamental football. Crean seems to be anti fundamental basketball.

Think my bro in law said it best this afternoon. This Crean tenure has become exhausting for the diehard IU fan. Just enough big wins and so many WTFs.
