bleedhoosier Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 I just don't see how this conference run can go any worse. Bottom of the barrel in the big ten and we haven't even hit the tough stretch. We may be a 8 seed at this point. Keep up the marginal work Crean. I guess all I can say is this team is too young.. but moreso, they are collectively a below average IQ team. Juwan Morgan is smart.. and that's all I got. We are a sweet 16 ceiling program with the occasional tourney miss and bubble. Unbelievable...Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app VO5 1 Quote
cappymo14 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Just now, Alford Bailey said: Bryant looks worse every game. 0 post moves and man handled by no names again. I think a guy like Dodd is his worst possible matchup. Quote

Sent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile app Our team lacks IQ because we don't have a PG. And guess what, we don't have one coming in next year either. Blackmon is a good player but has 0 basketball IQ. He's just wired to score and does it pretty well most of the time. Everything else he does is average to bad. Our players aren't put into positions to succeed. Why OG doesn't live on the baseline and in the middle of the court is beyond me. Why McSwain continues to get important minutes is baffling. The worst part? The Big Ten isn't even strong this year. If the same leadership is here next year it is going to get ugly. HoosierAloha 1 Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Unless we win out this season is a waste. Even if we make the tourney were a 6-11 seed having to play a title contender the second game. If we won out we would have a good chance at a top 3 seed. Losing 3 games in conference isnt ideal after 4 games for any team let alone one who had potential as a final four team. Crean has to go. I like the guy but it is obvious he needs a leader like Yogi or Cody and Vic...guys that are great leaders to be good if not his leadership is exposed and it shows. I just dont know who we should start hoping for to lead us back. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Bruce038 1 Quote

WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 And Happ, the backup for Wiscy, all the Louisville post players, the Neb post players, anyone above 6-5 for Butler..Yep. He's terrible as the go-to player. Very little athleticism. I like the guy but his lack of game is being badly exposed this year. I'm saddened for him. Yogi would drive and dish. Got him some easy buckets. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners HoosierAloha and Bruce038 2 Quote
Hoosierfan2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 De'ron needs to get more than two shots. I wouldn't be against him and TB switching minutes. cappymo14 1 Quote
Josh Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 I want Crean fired tonight, but I'm not putting tonight on him. Turgeon is equally bad and we could have won. We're up 2 with a minute and a half left...and we have 3 straight turnovers. Horrendous.FIRE HIM! This is embarrassing Bruce038 and cappymo14 2 Quote
cappymo14 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Man, that one hurts. They had it. I've tried to stay as positive as I could. I don't think I've ever posted in the "fire" thread. This one really broke me. Carelessness. Up 2 out of a great defensive play, step out of bounds. Give up 3. Force a drive, don't get back. Dunk. Gave it away. First I'm forced to worry that we won't start on time and now we bone-head away a close one. Hate it for the guys because I know the expectations were astronomical but man, if you can't be better than that, knowing every game could break your season, I don't know if you really want it. Great game for James....sort of. Do you have goals guys? What the heck are they? I wonder. F-it. Good luck this weekend. Josh 1 Quote

In his defense, Happ, unlike Tom, actually is an All-American. They are not on the same planet talent wise and I told you that before the season started. You guys see him 2 times yearly, I see him 30. He does it to everyone. Louisville has a whole team of guys just like Dodd. Tom is not making strong moves because he's not strong. He's getting muscled and now the B1G knows it. He should have entered the draft. I feel bad that he didn't. Bruce038 1 Quote
Fil_Dunfie Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 When you lose to Maryland, you have to figure Trimble is going to drag them to the win. But he had a bad 2nd half. Go figure. The kid Huerter can really shoot it. Cowan and him were big. Josh 1 Quote

Sure, there are other bad matchups for him but like I said Dodd is a no-win. Was that a refrigerator dolly I saw Dodd carrying around? He kept standing him up on it, strapping him down, and wheeling his ass out to about 20 feet. Easy peasy. I'd seen Tom get moved before but damn, Dodd should charge S&H. WORST POSSIBLE MATCHUP. Quote

I'm pointing out that any player that plays Bryant physical is a bad matchup. There's a reason he's been playing a lot more on the perimeter. He's a big kid that hasn't been taught proper footwork, post moves, and court awareness. He's probably a third tier big in the B1G at this point. Quote
MoyeNeeded Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Call it how you may... but I'm sick of recruiting all of these nice fellows. We need to find a few of those 'junkyard dog' type players that play mean and strong down low. Miss someone like D.J. Think Deon has a chance of being like that. Meaner attitude.Sent from my SPH-L720 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

hoosha61 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 As mentioned earlier, all the momentum that TB and OG finished with last year has disappeared. Granted OG has been hurt, but he looks like a different player. Timid and TO prone. TB is soft, other BIgs eat his lunch. DD is far better down low. TURNOVERS..... somehow someway we must fix this. Guys get to the rim on us to easy, the play to end the first half was just awful. So bummed right now. Quote
yogisballin Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Man, I don't think I've seen player that is as bad at defense as jbj. I think he tries, he just sucks at it.Defense is an effort thingSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
