Great point. Crean's teams all look the same no matter who is on the court.

Sometimes beautiful offense when tempo and flow are coordinated. Otherwise really ugly half court ball in grinder games.

Over switching, nobody stops dribble drives, nobody seems to interest in shutting down their man.

So many similarities from year to year.

Something makes me think it has to be a scheme that Crean is running where the players are just overthinking what to do. Like the switch from man to zone mid possession crap he tried to pull a year or 2 ago. It's the only way for me to believe we're this bad defensively. Our players are too athletic and quick to be blown by and beat all the time

Seriously. Needs to start finishing around the rim

He needs to forget about being NBA worthy. He's a great kid with a lot of talent but, he needs to get his IU mojo back!

Does anyone see a single bit of pace on offense? Looks like nothing but mindless dribbling to me.

Im assuming JBJ not playing is precautionary?

Yes, fish said on pregame it was from a dunk in the loss to Fort Wayne, the other knee that was not operated on so that's good I guess

This is why the cupcake games need to be against teams that are bad instead of really really bad. A game like this does nothing for us and the players know it. 

If they weren't the cuppiest of cupcakes we would probably lose.

Job retention.

I don't see how Bryant doesn't dominate in these types of games

It is an injury to his left knee which suffered a torn ACL in high school so he's had surgery on it.

We never get him the ball down low

MSU won by 50ish. So we need to out score them by 40 this half.

Somehow Bryant's a -1 in 13 minutes. Is that real?

This team, like last year, has a ton of potential. I still think that they will play to that potential down the road and have a good season. Yes, it looks bad now, but let's not get caught in the trap that we did last year. Not gonna allow myself to get depressed until we play like this late in the season.

Heard he warmed up so id think he's ok and just being careful. We should see him on Wednesday.

Poor trombone player was sitting in the fetal position on the bleachers.

I think we really jumped the gun on this team boys. I'm trying not to be real negative but I've seen absolutely nothing to be positive about in a while

Here's the thing though we shouldn't be playing like crap at any point in the season. Had we not played like garbage to start last season we were probably a 2 seed. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,872]

Today's game isn't very comforting knowing that UNC is our next game.   To say the first half has been disappointing would be an understatement.

That last make was only a 2?

Pretty sure. Took a step forward. Think he stomped the line.
