Hoosierfan2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I'm disappointed we didn't get to see Crean's trademark last second 3/4 court inbound pass. That's about all this game was missing. Alford Bailey and Trish 2 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I've been an avid IU fan for 50 years, going back to Lou Watson. I can't do this anymore...Just told my wife I won't watch the games through this stretch. It's too painful. Heck, I watched EVERY game through Creans first 3 years. I am honestly planning on taking a hiatus. Just checking scores for a while. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners reconmkd 1 Quote
Whoozhers Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I don't know of any other "good" team that from the start of the game is so outplayed in 2 minutes they get down by 12 points. That leaves a mark right outta the gate. That's the only thing I'll agree with Crean on ... The Hoosiers didn't start on time. Wisconsin did. They were ready to PLAY. Crean didn't have us ready to play. Time to move on from TC.Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Alford Bailey, ALASKA HOOSIER and Bruce038 3 Quote
AKHoosier Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Man, I usually defend Crean but some of those decisions tonight.... We spent 80% of each possession just passing the ball around the perimeter. Thomas Bryant's taller than anyone on the floor but he can't do anything in the paint. And why in the world is McRoberts getting all this playing time? God bless the kid but there's a reason he was at Vermont. WayneFleekHoosier, ALASKA HOOSIER, Alford Bailey and 3 others 6 Quote
hsrtxp Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I agree Stu. They are hustling. Just playing really dumb basketball. I am again in the position where I feel bad for the players. He needs to give them the tools to be successful. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersI get what you are guys are saying, but some of this is on the players as well. It's not like this is the first basketball they have ever played. They struggle to play basic defense. The turnovers? Come on now. Not all of this is on CTC. I get it's the same basic premise and mistakes with CTC every year, but it's still a combo. Players have some role in this. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Stuhoo and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 How many possessions tonight ended in a 35 foot heave at the end of the shot clock? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

They ARE playing hard, but haven't been coached to know what the heck they are doing. Sigh. Agreed. They fight, but it's kind of just swinging wildly hoping to land a few haymakers.

Hoosierfan2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 McSwain with more minutes than Cujo tonight. McRoberts with 13 minutes. 10 man rotation for Crean tonight. Smh. Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 Post-game quote. Maybe he needs to start consulting a ouija board or county fair fortune teller. Crean says they need better starting energy: "I have to keep figuring out what our lineup is. It's back to the drawing board on that." LIHoosier and Alford Bailey 2 Quote

But it's just stupid to throw it down to him when you know they are gonna swarm him in the paint. It's a good idea to throw it to him. He just needs coached to identify where the swarm is coming from and pass the ball to the open teammate. His decision-making was rushed and he isn't great off the dribble. Oh, a coach, a coach. My kingdom for a coach. Alford Bailey and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Alford Bailey Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I don't even know what to say at this point. Its rinse repeat. Absolutely exhausting as a fan. Whisky wasn't great but schooled us. 0-2 in conference at home. Have you looked at the back half of this schedule? May be headed for .500 in league. Whoozhers, ALASKA HOOSIER and johnsoniu 3 Quote

Trish Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Honestly, our offense looked more alive than past games. Defense looked terrible. Subs were terrible.

coonhounds Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 What has happened to Thomas bryant? He has changed in a bad way. Last year I took him as having passion and complained a bit to much. Now he wines about everything and acts hurt 24 7. I was at ipfw game and it was pathetic watching him lay on the court and complain Sent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile app Whoozhers, Hoosierfan2017, WayneFleekHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
