Hoosier Guy

Yeah that was pretty bad

Quit lion around and play some D

I think he's good at broadcasting but radio talk he just gets unbearable most the time

Nope. Not sure if you meant to do that though lol

Duke-ND should be a good one. A big game for both teams. Duke to build on their last game and ND to not start a skid after their last game

You pointed offense and defense the same way lol. No wonder they don't do anything when the opponent has the ball

The flash card thing last night was so embarrassing. If a guy on the sideline has to hold up a card that says "Call out screens", your team isn't very good. But since the staff doesn't teach defense, I guess card communication is the next best thing. This crap needs to change

3 PT shooting isn't gonna be there every game though. Fundamentals can be and that's my biggest gripe. Crean's teams don't know simple basics. A team can win basketball games with basics. And yep there's no in between. It's either really good or really bad

He does give great passion every game. That can't be denied. Yeah Victor has to hit those open looks that Westbrook gives him. Otherwise, that team has no chance (though I think that's the case anyway). I was rooting like hell for OKC yesterday. I'll root for anyone over LeBron

Good point. There is literally no one thing that IU does extremely well

I absolutely can't stand excuse making. Coaches who use excuses any chance they get aren't good coaches. That's why Chris Mack is what he is. And that is a great head coach. It definitely shows in his program year in and year out. Same with other great coaches. They work with what they have and generate success. It always has to be literally picture perfect for Crean for him to succeed in any given season. And like you said, this team still has talent on the floor even with all the injuries. I'm getting tired of it and it better end soon

The one and only time lol. But yeah Crean should have had them ready. How a team plays is a reflection of the coaching staff. The players didn't care because Tom didn't care to prepare them enough for that game

IU actually has a winning record against Penn State under Crean. 9-7 including the conference tournament. Of course, most of those wins were the two years with Cody Zeller

Yeah "we think" is the key phrase. Is that what Fred thinks though? It better be or we as a whole might implode

Correct. It's either an injury, illness, not waking up on the right side of the bed, my dog died, didn't get my drink or whatever the hell I call it in my bottle, etc.. There is nothing I hate more than excuse making. And we have a coach that uses them any chance he gets. Gets old real fast

I think he takes opiates

HTD has a screw loose lol. That guy would literally jump off a bridge for Tom Crean. Frankly, they can both jump for all I care

Injury excuse better not play out. This team sucked way before all these guys started getting injured. But I have a bad feeling that Glass will use it as an excuse. If he does, the fan base might implode

I do because he takes too many shots (he should never take a three point attempt), whines and complains when he doesn't get a foul called for him (even though he leads the league in FT attempts), doesn't show respect to most players and just isn't a guy that most players want to team with on a daily basis. He is a good player but it's very apparent that he was holding back Kevin Durant. Kevin and Russell never liked playing with one another because it was too much "your turn, my turn" stuff. And that was usually because of Westbrook. I understand Durant should have been more assertive but the point still stands

This is the best post I've ever laid eyes on

If they finish as the 7 seed, that's a major disappointment. I think they'll be better than that imo

This guy is clueless. Any person watching the game knows they turned it over 7 straight possessions during that stretch. You don't get a chance to hit or miss shots when you constantly have turnovers

Frankly, I don't think he showed improvement at all last season. He lucked out by losing his worst defender and the defense improved unsurprisingly. That team should've been good from the beginning

Yeah if you don't know to call out screens without a flash card telling you that, your team isn't that good. This team has talent but it's being wasted because of this coach that couldn't get himself out of a paper bag if his life depended on it

He just doesn't know basketball
