That cast of analysts... Sigh. Gottlieb is actually worthless. The NBA guys may as well not be there. They'd do better pulling in random fans off the street to provide insight.

Defend, rebound, and the rest will take care of itself. Hoping "it" finally clicked for Troy Williams and he's getting "it" now. Good/great Troy, the one who spills it diving on the floor, makes this team very difficult to beat.

Great post! As opposed to Mick Cronin, who led commendably in that incident. Mick would be an interesting candidate for IU, but hasn't done enough to warrant calls from fans. He's a really good coach.

^true Mack wants the Kentucky job anyway. He's a fine coach, just don't see his style working here. Much like Sampson.

Why is it that Chris Mack has not been mentioned much by IU fans until this season when his team is one of the tops in the country.... Not like his program/team just blossomed. IU should stay far, far away from Mack, however. Slime doesn't do him justice!

When Walton said the other night that he likes medicinal herbs, I about spit my drink

Can't believe I'm saying this. On Wisconsin!

Things are said to get recruits to sign...So it's no different than any other functioning high major program... Thanks for clarifying

Elaborate, please! Would love to know inside stuff. PM if that's not allowed here

Pure sarcasm.

The idea that Crean promises playing time to get recruits is so unbelievably stupid and illuminates a relative lack of knowledge of how college basketball works in 2016. Hint: it's quite different than 1986.

You're just not a real IU fan

Assuming the Green signing removed Indiana from consideration

Is there any chance Davis or Holt could return to IU?

Any chance he verbals before his senior year? Seems like he's fairly interested

Brad Stevens got lucky that Gordon Hayward blossomed into a lottery pick. Just like Crean with Dwyane Wade. Right? Right??

The varying perceptions of the health of the Indiana program are interesting to follow... It's almost as if some are rooting for a collapse/bad recruiting so their POV will be validated in their minds. All I know is, Indiana now has class balance and a "normal" program/roster makeup. We cannot forget where this regime started. We cannot take for granted the impeccable job Crean did in bringing Indiana out of the abyss. Some seem to write that off now. Look at our recruits. Is Bryce Drew or Archie Miller going to be getting Indiana in the picture with the players Crean does? Not at all likely. It would take Crean 5 minutes to find a high BCS job. As has been stated, see it through. Don't cut the head off now when there's literally no one better available. In another year or two, it might be a totally different conversation. Bottom line, there is no hot seat. Even a first round loss is irrelevant when you do what IU has done this year. Crean is going to make it a decade at Indiana, much to the chagrin of a certain segment of fans. After that, who knows. A fan base like this won't keep coaches around in the social media age. At this rate, fans should be more worried Crean will leave on his own accord and IU will be left to a Drew, Miller, etc.

Crean is about to win a second Big Ten title and fans want to bring in Bryce freaking Drew?!?! What

Great post^ Firing Tom Crean would appear rather asinine---at this juncture.

Why am I pissed? Huge win! Complete lack of focus after the 6 minute mark but did enough to get the job done. A win is a win is a win. Now, onto the Illinois spaceship. Win, and there's pressure on Iowa into the final two.
