Indiana vs Louisville Game Thread

Optimism: Maybe this will help with point guard recruiting? You can tell we really need a floor leader to settle us down. Miss you Yogi!

This is not a Crean at fault game. I laugh at any of you that are that blind if you say it is. We have missed so many open shots and have over dribbled way too much. He has been yelling at guys, pulling guys and these kids just don't listen to him. That is the only knock on him today. Other than that we have just sucked. JBJ stopped two layups by Adel at the beginning that prevented this game from getting blown open even earlier. RoJo was set for a game like this with how hot he has been lately but 0-6!!?? TB has missed a few bunnies. This game is the first time I've been shocked of our play. Our defense has been better than our offense if that says enough.

His subbing is terrible. No reason to play more then 7 people. There is no reason Freddie and mcroberts see the court in this game

Crean is supposed to prepare the players. People have been blaming the players for 7 years now. The players have all changed but the play remains the same.

If we lose to Wisconsin, man, are we really gonna struggle to make the tournament? I maybe overreacting but wow.

I for one can't wait til JBJ leaves after this season and goes to play in the YMCA league.

lol. like he hasn't been our best player in 2 of the 3 biggest games of the year. 

[Yogi's Picnic Basket]

A lot of season left, but without a true PG it is set to be an average year that looked like a final four year. Many of IU fans may just get their wish after this season. I don't think Crean sticks around if we don't finish top 2 in B1G and make a run and that doesn't look likely. We just don't have a true leader out there. Tucker is probably not coming here either if we lose today. If he thinks a coaching change is possible why would he?

We won't struggle to make the tournament, but we can kiss winning the B1G goodbye.

I really am worried what a 3 game losing streak will do to the psyche of our team, especially when all of those losses would happen in the state of Indiana.

I don't think getting embarrassed by teams helps anything.

Lol. I wondered this yesterday, then said, yeah I'm overreacting.

But......... Our RPI was worse than 6-6 Nebraska the other night. We aren't as good as we think.

Many more losses ahead.

It's possible.

Deep breath----let's don't let this turn into yet another Fire Tom Crean thread. Plenty of blame to go around on this one!

[JSHoosier]

IU has missed some good looks, but so has Louisville.

[hsrtxp]

We just look like we have totally given up in this game. We need to come out second half and work it inside, slow it down a bit, make smarter shot selections

No. It's play faster. Haven't you been paying attention? The answer is always play faster.

Haha. Way to have the guys prepared again Crean. Barely fighting through half the screens. On the opposite end, we are so bad at setting screens. Just jack up 3s and disregard all 10 foot jumpers. Rack, 3 or turnover.. there is no mid range option anymore even though there are holes EVERYWHERE

Is there anybody on this board that wants Newkirk to be on the court right now?

Who else could they even put out there? Cujo looked horrible when he was out there

Rojo and Green can be our PGs

[IUfan_Charlie]

I really thought OG would be a better shooter this season.
