Yep, Yep Yep.

Exactly! Post of the year. Says it all. If your kid gets an A in one class but fails 3 others do you just ignore it??

The glass is half empty til Crean proves he can win in a post season tourney setting. 

Another coach had his squad prepared...

Looks like Painter had his group prepared today.

We are a top ten team and won our conference by 2 games. Final four is the expectation.

Call me names , irrational, crazy ect but I would fire Crean after a regular season title based on his BTT and post season record. Name me another blue blood program who has had anywhere close to as terrible of a record in their respective conference tourney?Its flat out embarrassing. Many say the BTT doesnt mean much but that is probably based on the fact weve been total crap competing in it. We fail miserably every year in this tournament and I'm sick of it. Rant over.

Is it simply too much to ask for IU to do well in the BTT? SO FRUSTRATING!!!!

Dude, I feel for you. I was thinking about going tomorrow. Dont have to worry about it now.

Yes, Game management becomes HUGE! Usually our downfall.

We have had a huge advantage playing in Indy for sooo many years and have never capitalized on it. Now they are moving the tourney all over the place. So disappointing.

I hope Im wrong but my gut tells me Purdue may win BTT.

I gave Crean the respect due after the outright title. Well done. But today was vintage Crean post season edition. He proved he could finish the regular season well. He has yet to prove he can accomplish much of anything post season. That is a FAIR critique.

Have you watched IU in tourney play the last 8 years?

I think today was a great example of sticking to the game plan no matter what. Crean probably planned in those minutes for Niegro and if we are hitting threes nobody cares. But we werent and we needed our 1st team All Big guy on the floor.

He hasnt been able to get it done in Bankers Life loaded with IU fans, again, 50 miles from campus.

You know, a guy who can win games in a tournament?

We may get Rojo back but another week doesnt help Morgan. That shoulder is in his head and we might be getting about 80% out of him. Gonna take the summer for the kid to quit worrying about it.

Balls tend to bounce your way when you give the most effort. Im disappointed because we didnt match a lesser teams effort.

Watched the game at Bdubs full of IU fans and one UM guy in the middle. Told my buddy after UM beat us back door a couple times then we give up the easy dunk after Bryants monster slam these guys arent into it and this may end ugly. Welp...

That really doesn't upset me right now. I'd say its 50/50 whether these guys remove their heads from their rear or lay an egg the first round.

EXACTLY!

Maybe. Everybody knew Michigan was fighting for their post season lives. Yet, we couldnt get focused to take their best shot as a #1 seed?

On paper I agree with this. But, its tourney play from here on out. Pick a tourney, any tourney. For whatever reason the guy cant get it done in this type environment.

Its tourney time......
