Well that would not be good. That would really suck actually

I'm not asserting anything. That's the difference. I'm not pretending to know what I'm talking about because I read a few twitters

I knew this was coming. It's a whole different set of circumstances! How can you compare the two!!?? It makes no sense to do that. We got beat. Has nothing to do with what they did against PU.

LOL how in the hell can you determine this? Can we all just relax

This. Michigan St lost to Nebraska. At home. Welcome to CBB in 2016.

I do. But it doesn't change a thing about this season. One loss to a desperate team. It didn't send me into hysteria like so many. That's all I'm saying. You guys wanna make it a big deal because it feeds into your fire Crean prophecy. It's blatant

Maybe wait til the NCAA is over to protest? We really care that much about the BTT?

Exactly. How in the hell can anyone claim they didn't care? My god.

The ones that are unfair in their prognostications. Doesn't matter the side There is flat out an agenda to discredit this regime at every falter. Every single one

You're 100% right. It's the full blown arrogance of "the fans are right" that I don't understand. Which is fine. Things are actually fine

The opinions remain the same... He remains the coach! We are insignificant

Top 5 program, right? That's what everyone hears on here. Losing in the quarterfinal of BTT = this season is a failure, lost. Maui, now this. Unreal

Undefeated national championship. Nothing less. Anything less is an absolute indignity to the program. This is Indiana, after all. It's been 29 years. Getting to be ridiculous

How do you know this?

Not at all. Maybe balance is a better word. It just blows my mind that things can change so quickly due to a one possession loss. It makes IU's fan base look childish

We would have to have beaten Purdue to change our seeding. Winning yesterday wouldn't have changed a thing. Bottom line, my point is: in this year of CBB, it doesn't really matter that much. There are like two teams I'd be afraid to play early. We'll see tomorrow

The losses are such head scratchers. We really battled in all of our losses other the second half against the #1 team in the country. Not speaking to ore conference when we were a shell of ourself and wounded. You would think we'd have enough to get past Michigan but they were desperate. Gotta give them credit. Do hope the good Hoosiers show up. What a special thing it will be if they can get to that second weekend. Anything can happen from there. Two games at a time

Forgive me for blowing off steam here. It sucks because as Wayne said the team spills it out there. Next time, we are going home. Yogi didn't play like an All American. Gotta have our AA lead the way if we are gonna do anything...

If you think IU is on a higher plane of respect then MSU... That's the problem. Rose colored glasses. In 1990? Sure. In 2016? We aren't even in the same conversation :/

Eh, not really. Everyone recognizes MSU as king of the league. IU is a historic program. That's the perception. Old time.

How do you expect this though? Izzo has built a program over time... That just isn't fair to this regime. The last five years have been consistent with Izzo levels, minus going to a Final Four. He has the benefit of having a truly great player. That kind of makes you as a coach

Fan base is snake bitten. Expecting a win every game is sooo far away. It should be like that for sure. It just isn't. Is that really Tom Crean's fault? No. No it isn't. Again, just wait and see. If IU bows out early, protest all you'd like. I still wouldn't agree. But at least wait. Remember when everyone wanted to have the referendum after game #4? Regular season turned out fairly okay I'd say...

There's good reason to believe in Tom Crean. He is a good coach, not a great one yet because that isn't achieved without national titles right? Or is that just what we tell ourselves. Maybe this just isn't a great program in today's day and age and we are all really fools for expecting so much. Here we are, almost 20 years from the firing. Who'd have thought we'd still be cursed

I'm not ignoring it. But the game is played on the court. Not in our minds with all of our IU insecurities

I can't wait for next season already. I mean clearly this team is done for. We lost to Michigan after all! I don't know why it's so ridiculous to be positive about this team. I love this team. We lost a game today. That really sucks. It hurts. But my god, guys. We're acting like psychopaths. I don't know why I shouldn't go away. Clearly positivity is unwelcome
