Hoosiers High Life

No just straight up bench his butt and let him watch. Shouldn't have to "explain" why he is getting beat

I'm not the coach so what do you do?

Understand that it is frustrating but it's early in the season.......RELAX!!!!!!

I don't get this fan base we lost one game. Granted it was to a team that we shouldn't lose to but this season isn't a failure yet. It's ok to be disappointed because I am but we as a fan base need to show our players support not downgrade them. It's a loss like this that could make a team stronger so don't bash the team

Your right but it's still not all on Crean

It's man to man defense how hard is it to cover your guy and help as needed!!!!

Tom Crean can only do so much guys...... What he can't do is go play the game for our players!!!! He gets them prepared and he recruits like a boss but can't play defense for them

This kid is awesome very emotional person and I like it!!!! Watching the game last night he gets fired up big time

OG will be a great player and I think he might even be a starter before this season is over

Guess we will just have to wait and see.

Does everyone on here want to play small or what? Not me we need height!!! So unproven freshman shouldn't start? I don't hear you complaining bout Bryant starting he hasn't played anything close to big ten basketball so is he proven just cause he is McDonald's all American? What separates him from OG and Morgan? Please tell me since I'm "ignorant"

And OG would be a good fit at the 4 spot he is 6' 8" with 7' 2" wingspan so he isn't all that undersized

[quote name="Iufan2324" post="167636" timestamp="1429196123"]Stan is so overrated on defense. Yogi was the best defender defending people sometimes at least a foot taller or the other teams best perimeter player. Was the hardest defender by far.[/quote Yogi can defend haha ok um please ask Fred van vleet how good of a defender yogi is! If you can defend it should show every game not just some games sorry but if yogi could defend we would of won that game

Wow he can pass and set screens I'm pretty sure our new comers can do that. But how does he score? He is not all around on offense he is a shooter and that's it. I def don't see him posting up on anyone. I wouldn't put him at the four no way because now you only have one guy down there on the boards and where is your "power forward" standing out in no mans land!! We depend on the 3 way to much guys sorry I would rather have a whole team of consistent drivers and slayers than a team that stand out and shoots threes all day! Yogi- can drive and good handles and can shoot Jbj- can drive and decent handles and can shoot Rojo- can drive and decent handles and can shoot Troy - can drive and ok handles and below average shooter HARTMAN- can NOT drive and NO handles and very good shooter All I got to say is if OG showed me he could drive and he had decent handles and decent shooter I would def start him over Hartman If Hartman can show improvement in driving and ball handling then he be a great fit but until then I would do this Yogi/Rojo Jbj/ zeis Troy/ Hartman Holt/OG/Morgan Bryant/Hanner

@JeffRabjohns: Tom Crean said OG Anunuby, Juwan Morgan remind him of Will Sheehey, Victor Oladipo as far as lesser-known guys with tremendous upside. @peegs: Tom Crean on OG Anunoby: "I was just enthralled with his ability defensively" after seeing him in summer @MikeMillerHT: Buckley says Anunoby and Morgan are "ahead of the curve" with basketball IQ.

I'd like to add that Stan was a harder defender than anyone on the team last year.

Different era, different coach, different offense

Hartman wouldn't start on my team I would rather see hanner at the 4 but crean doesn't like to put two big men on the floor at same time I think if he put hanner and Bryant on the floor at same time no one will out rebound us can't say the same about Hartman and Bryant beside y not put more height on the court guys we need it and Hartman is one dimensional on offense. How can you say he isn't? But like I said in a post earlier I'm more worried about defense and saying Hartman is are hardest defender is sad. He is slow and I watched blow right by him as they did the rest of the team.

We will see I guess Hartman ain't that great and you want that in are starting 5? That doesn't make sense either I don't want anyone that has to shoot a 3 to score in our starting 5 sorry can't just be one dimensional on offense

Q: What would you say are your strengths, as both a player and a teammate? A: I would say athleticism, 3 point shooting, and defense, and as a teammate being unselfish and always supporting my teammates. I would also say passing is a strength of mine. So y can't this be in the starting 5? That's OG

I like Hartman don't get me wrong but for the way our offense is set up Hartman is not that affective

At least Troy can drive and make someone work to gaurd him!! And I'll take players that can drive and get to the bucket over a 3 ball guy all day! You ask y? Simple, higher percentage shot and it doesn't matter how much we improve on offense, we need a defense to win!

Then how will he be an asset bc our offense will not change

His ball handling is an issue if he tries to drive so your saying its ok to have a player that is only capable of catching and shooting on the offense end and can "hustle" i mean we don't have much to choose from but I'd like to think recruits that we are bringing are capable of more than just that!! I'm just saying that it's not hard to gaurd a catch and shoot guy
