  1. I also wanted to believe that the BS (pun intended) hire was happening. After the initial jolt of happiness I questioned if the guy running the Celtics actually wants to spend a ton of hours watching high school guys playing in small time gyms. It would a great hire but I don’t see it.
  2. I enjoy this thread but it’s cracking me up. This morning we had Brad Steven in the bag (again) and now it’s Brownell?? He is a lot better than Woody but I agree with those that say he wouldn’t be on the radar if he wasn’t a native Hoosier (not a good reason to hire him) On the other hand…..who the hell knows who is really on Dolsons radar? Can’t wait to find out.
  3. Being so invested in a team that has been to one Elite 8, in 30 years, has made me a bit grumpy….:)
  4. In the new coach thread I suggested sending the intramural champions. I’d bet the 8-10 guys on the team would be very happy to get a free trip to Vegas.
  5. We should send the intramural champions.
  6. Agree. Although I am philosophically against guys sitting out it would be a tragedy if some dude blew out his knee playing in the “made-up, who gives a sh!te” Crown tourney. In this case I’d agree with a player taking a pass.
  7. No one (or maybe next to no one) would have found it hilarious if he said “I got my cash and I’m done”. And literally everyone that talks about tourney bubble teams talks about the quality of wins and losses.
  8. It always comes down to $$$$$. ESPN has the rights to the NIT so…… Fox, which covers BT, BE and Big 12 teams, has dreamed up the 16 team Crown single elimination tourney in Vegas. There will be teams in the tourney from the three conferences they televise during the season. It’s a blatant play for cash but I assume the interest level will be low. Real low.
  9. There is a TON to complain about this year but what was MR supposed to say when asked about the tourney? Would it have been better if he replied….We suck, I don’t want to play anymore, I’d rather be in the Crown so I can go to Vegas, I’m tired, I got paid and I am done?? I don’t think we deserve to be in the tourney but am glad he lobbied for it.
  10. Tucker deserves the game ball as he made as many field goals as Goode and as many free throws as Leal!!! Very impressive from the bench.
  11. Not 100% this is correct but I’ve read that, due to the tv deal with Fox, we are contractually obligated to play in the Crown if invited.
  12. We need to put Leal in for his patented “it doesn’t matter” end of game threes.
  13. I went from really wanting to make the tourney to just shrugging my shoulders and accepting that we have no business being in the tourney (the REAL tourney, not the Crown).
  14. Raise your hand if your excited for the inaugural Crown Tournament!!!
  15. Crown tourney baybee And I believe we are contractually obligated to go.
  16. Another game in which Tucker has zero turnovers while not missing a shot!!!!
  17. Your post has been valid for dozens and dozens of games over the past 8 years.
  18. I hate automatically taking out MM because of his third foul.
  19. Announcer said “IU trying to do something special for their coach”. It is what it is, but it’s kind of sad that anyone considers winning a game to be on the bubble is “something special” for IU
  20. So according to Bardo a team can foul Ballo all they want because he is big…
  21. In many stretches this year Rice has been “just there” in games. Not really impacting anything which is disastrous from a PG.
