That can be brought off the bench. We don't have to start him just because he's a senior.

There really is no reason for Hartman to start. Not from a strategy or talent look at it.

Nothing wrong with attacking smaller lineups with a bigger lineup. Don't have to follow the pack of everyone else. We could be one of just a few teams in the who start two actual bigs.

Why wouldn't we start Davis? That'd make zero sense. We as fans have been wanting size. We might finally have it.. then want to start 6-6(on his tip toes) Hartman at the 4? I don't think Hartman is the person to care if he is starting or coming off the bench.

OG, Davis and Bryant. If Bryant leaves OG, Hartman and Davis.

RJ has become a streaky shooter. He's almost like JR Smith. If he is hitting.. he's hitting.. if not... then it ain't close. I think OG could be our best player. I don't know if he'll be Kawhi Leonard at SDSU.. simply because Leonard was REALLY good there. But has the tools to be our best player next year. I don't know if he can carry a team. He'd definitely have to develop a play style fit to be a #1 option. I think it is easy to say who will start in the 3, 4 and 5 spots. Are question marks are in the 1 and 2 spot.

What do you mean Oladipo wasn't expected? As in "not expected to be as good as he was" or "leaving after that year." He should have went first in that draft. Which would have sent him to Cleveland. And he could be playing with LeBron now... or in Minnesota with Andrew Wiggins.

Did he get in trouble or something? I don't remember anything being said... Or did he get "Creaned?"

I don't know why he left. But he would have helped. That team was beyond misused. Was an absolute joke. And the year I was done with Crean.

Well we don't have a PG. Just losing Yogi is more than anything we have can makeup. No one knows what Bryant will do. I'm guessing Troy is gone no matter what. That leaves us with JBJ, RJ, Newkirk, Jones, Green, Gelon at the guard spot. OG and Hartman at the 3. Then Morgan, Davis and possibly Bryant... that is a team that could probably finish somewhere in the 5-8 range in the B1G. We definitely won't be the favorite. That'll be MSU and with ease. Next year is a guess simply because our guard play. JBJ and RJ shouldn't be on the floor together. If they are it should be for limited spurts. And neither should be trusted as a PG.

The excuse of that year was we didn't have any shooters... more like Crean couldn't adjust for that team.

AJ Hammons is averaging 18 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5 blocks a game in his career against Indiana. Last year we were basically throwing it to him and seeing how far he could hit it. He doesn't kill us on the boards. His best rebounding game was 7 boards in 13-14. Last year he had 8 blocks at PU. He scored 30 in his freshman year at Purdue and had 20 last year in Bloomington. So for the game IMO will revolve around 2 people. AJ Hammons and Troy Williams. Both are quite the wildcards.

14-4, 7-11 then 9-9. They're 11-3 right now. But the seasons in between aren't acceptable. The 7-11 should have been 11-7. Last year was just as much of an embarrassment. Next year... if Crean is still around... just going to give him a pass? Because our guards won't be that good next year? Because we won't have depth down low? No depth at the 3? So we should just expect a good season or two and then 2 or 3 down years... that is what we're going to get with Crean. Can't build a consistency with his teams.

Oh my.. been a good amount of time then...

They bring in Darby Foresman who is ranked 66th in the country. First Top 100 girl I know of Indiana getting. And she's 6-3.

Basically. Next year I don't see us being all that great. And people will try giving him a pass because our guards weren't very good. Which will exactly be the case. Our guards won't be that good next year. We'll be like Gonzaga this year.

He has improved. But it won't change my opinion on whether he should stay or not.

Fred Glass would still have confidence in him.

UNLV is actually our worst RPI loss. So it too is horrendous.

We won!

WHAT??? OK!!!!

OG stood up. That's why he got blown by.

It is the amount of times he pulls his inner chicken out and tells at the refs.

Crean doesn't call timeouts when the momentum swings the other way.... Kelvin Sampson called timeouts when the momentum swung our way.

Put in Morgan and take out Bielfeldt. Just go full small ball mode.
