If this team is peaking now, we are in some major s$&+ come late Feb. early March! Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

I really feel like this is the most talented team we have had in the Crean tenure. However, I just don't know if CTC can recruit well enough to cover his shortcomings as a coach. Its my belief that he could have lost at LEAST 6 or 7 games if he had UK's roster last year. Just signing TB is not enough. Remember Cody and Vonleh....yeah, me too! I can't count how many times that I lost my voice screaming for them to at LEAST touch the ball on the offensive end of the floor. CTC has not proven that he even remotely knows how to use a big down low. All of this being said, I hope that I am wrong completely. But ya'll know the old saying...a tiger never can change his stripes.

From 1975 on , there weren't too many that I missed. At IU and TT. Its really a shame that he had to leave IU like he did. In a lot of ways, I believe that is why the state of the program is the way it is now. There was and is just no continuity from the old to the new. Look at Mich st, Izzo was Heathcoates guy. Painter was Keadys guy, etc. I know it doesnt always work out that way. But I feel like the admin. has gone out of their way to not hire a Knight guy. Really hoping for good things in the future with this staff or whoever. Just really want to be elite again. For so many years, that is what IU was. And, you could sure be proud to be a Hoosier! But I have to say, I really havent felt that way for a looong time. Go Hoosiers

This is quite possibly my favorite video of all time!!!!

I agree, but I do think that if Sampson coulda stayed clean, he was starting to get it rolling.

C....coulda been better. Had some moments. But finished about like I expected.

Yes, as I was writing this, I was thinking that it is up to the coach to motivate the players to listen to him. Some way, some how. Maybe they just aren't very smart, but I doubt that's the case. That being said. This is about where I thought we would end up this year. I really thought that we would end up nit bound. So we actually over achieved in my book.

After watching this game, I began to wonder. Maybe the problem is not Crean. Maybe the players really are not listening to what he is telling them. At 30 or so seconds to go, he was on the sideline pleading for them to foul, and they let 10 or so seconds slip by before they did it. To me today you could really see a BIG difference in the way the 2 teams played. IU seemed to be more about getting their own shot, where Wich played off of each other. Oh well, wait till next year.

I said before this skid that we would not make it, some called me crazy. It is just so hard to live/die by the three with no bigs. To me, the crazy thing is, if they got in, they could get hot and beat a team or two that maybe they shouldn't. But if they play cold, they could get beat really bad by a fundamentally sound mid or small school with a good big man.

Somebody needs to tell RJ to not fall to the side or go forward on his shot. Straight, straight down. I would want Hartman to take a last second shot. He has the best form of all of them, but lacks confidence.
