lol of course they give the ball back to illinois. F- this

these refs f-ing suck

Morgan is so huge

Newkirk gives it away and then redeems himself with a block..wow

I don't think enough attention is given to Greg Marshall. He is an Elite coach. His Winthrop teams nearly pulled off some historic upsets against top seeds in the Tournament. Moving up a level, to Witchita State, he has elevated his success further. He has made the final 4 as a 9 seed and the sweet 16 as a 7. His "down" years still include tournament appearances and conference titles. Given IUs resources, i think he would replicate his success in the BIG 10. He would be a home run hire. Tier 1: Stevens, Donovan Tier 2: Marshall, Bennett Tier 3: Miller, Collins, Few, White Tier 4: Disappointments We shouldn't settle for anyone outside of the first 3 tiers imo. I think they would all be successful at IU. If we could get anyone in the first 2 tiers, it would be a home run. We would be viewed as elite again. Stevens and Donovan are both unlikely, but Marshall or Bennett would consistently compete for BIG titles and high seeds in the Tournament. We would have a shot every year. We would be the premier program in the BIG 10 again. I think that's what everyone wants.

Agreed. Creans most "impressive" year 12-13, was filled with disappointments. That season, we cut down the nets after a home loss to OSU. Embarrassing. Michigan collapsed in the last minute which is the only reason we won the BIG outright. Also should have lost to temple in round of 32 if it wasn't for the "watblock" and a clutch shot by Vic. That team had so much promise and faded near the end. 2011-12 was the only year I've been happy with an IU team under crean.
