Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 41 tweeted that Georgia Tech would've been the 9th best team we've faced at Assembly out of our 20 home games. Sure it's not the game/tournament we all wanted to be playing in, but it's still a solid matchup. The university doesn't have a problem taking people's money to watch us play the Deleware State's of the world over winter break, but hosting an ACC school over spring break would've just been too much. I haven't got to go to a game at AH since UNC. Went to the Butler game but I will always love watching a game in AH. It is the main reason I expect us to be so great. The atmosphere itself it second to none. Yeah it wouldn't have been the best scenario to watch them, but I was looking forward to having at least a game or two that was really good in the NIT. I also believed Crean would be gone so I could truly root him on to finish the way he should have left....fighting. If that was gonna happen tho as many reasons as I think it helps our cause it could be a way to escape the drama for keeping him. It won't stop it from happening though, but I could see Glass thinking that way. This whole situation is just weird. I have no idea what to think anymore. Illinois did it the right way. Waited to make sure Groce didnt end up making a good run. Then knew the tourney wasnt happening so he fired him and now the NIT their fans can truly focus on winning it while being excited about who their next coach is gonna be. Also praying Jeremiah Tillmon stays lol. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Hoosierfan2017 1 Quote

Then everything went downhill lol. I get that the students are rowdy and louder than the rest of the fans, but there have been numerous games this year that the students just haven't shown up for and left huge holes in the student section. I'm not convinced that attendance would've been much worse without students than it would've been with them. Glass has handled this whole situation terribly and it makes me wonder if he even has a plan or if he's winging it all. Tom White 1 Quote
GloryDays Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Maybe Crean has been let go and the assistants will coach at GT.Fred trying to sheild his buddy from embarrassment.Not much crazier than any of the other theories. Quote
SteelerHoosier Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 As 5:40 am Thomas Aaron Crean is still publicly employed by Indiana University GloryDays and Hoosierfan2017 2 Quote
Whoozhers Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I'm not sure Morgan took a step back this year. He may have hit a few less 3s but he is much improved around the hoop and especially rebounding. Bryant absolutely took a step back other than a decent 3 point stroke. OG, I'd say he was on par with the prior year (like against UK in tourney) but not enough to make a real call. He definitely isn't the superstar ESPN would make him out to be YETSent from my SCH-I545 using BtownBanners mobile appAll 3 made horrendous TO's at crucial times and just weren't solid rebounding like they were last year. IMO, their skill was not even close to how good they were as Freshmen. Disappointing to say the least.Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
schoosier Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Indiana is the laughingstock of college basketball. Thanks Tom & Fred. Quote

I have not a bit of hate in my heart for Tom Crean but that is an indictment. Yes, there were injuries and yes they were significant but this team had plenty of talent, more than enough to make the Tournament in a year such as this. When you've got wins like that, it tells you what the potential is and when you still fail to make the Tournament, to me it says something is off. Something in the culture of the program, something in the way you're teaching or approaching the game...something. I would think that is the final straw. Will be interesting to see if it is.

Popular Post Cletus20 Posted March 13, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 13, 2017 What would make you guys happier? To wake up tomorrow morning and find out that Crean has been dismissed? Or...to wake up tomorrow morning and see Margot Robbie laying beside you?Tough question.Sent from my SM-G935P using BtownBanners mobile appEasy answer: Margot Robbie! jconley, Btownclouds, Stainiu and 5 others 8 Quote

HooHooHoo22 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Well everyone is laughing at us all over twitter. so I'm pretty sure Fred Glass knows what we think About this decision.

bigrod Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 We will do well in the NIT. Crean is a seasoned NIT coach. He went there plenty at Marquette.Sent from my SM-G935P using BtownBanners mobile appFrom what I've heard about Tech, they are exactly the kind of team we struggle with. Really good defensively, and struggle offensively. But if they get hot - watch out! We all know everyone gets hot against our defense.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
mdiu28 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Wow. I am amazed at our AD. If the rumors are true, he needs to be fired NOW. Not hosting an NIT game bc students are gone - are you serious? Most schools invited are in the same position. Fred, do you have any idea how weak and stupid this makes IU look? Allowing Crean to decide his own fate - I simply can't believe this one. It's just unbelievable. I really didn't want to think Fred was this weak and incompetent and again, these are just the rumors but man, if they're true.....yikes. Quote
bigrod Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Did I hear correctly that they first came out and said we wouldn't play at home due to renovations, and then almost immediately came back and said spring break? WTH???Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Hurryin'Hoosier317 1 Quote
