TOM CREAN FIRED

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,944]

It's your opinion it means nothing.

To me it means we drop 1-2 seed lines. Extends the Crean stinks in post season narrative. It's a gigantic loss of momentum. It's a blemish on in state recruiting.

[Uspshoosier 45,050]

This isn't the issue whatsoever. One can feel he should be fired... but this fan base makes a mountain out of every single ant hill possible. It's ridiculously dumb--looking at it from the outside.

This loss has zero impact on the NCAA tournament. To think otherwise is actually insanely paranoid. That's what people are acting like.

its still that individuals right to make a mountain out of the ant hill and look in your opinion ridiculously dumb from the outside.

Dude seriously? Who gives a crap what Jeff goodman thinks?

Momentum is not real lol. My goodness! Yes, this loss is going to influence how we play 5-6-7 days from now....

It's not one mole (ant) hill, rather a mountain that he has built.

 

It doesn't?  Seeding, no NCAA champion ever lost their first conference tourney game.  Team lost momentum and the coach reverted to old ways.  Other than those things you're probably right.

How in the hell do you as a fan know the degree of impact of those things?

Reverted to old ways... Aka, in fan speak: his team lost today

are u kidding? Who said anything about Jeff Goodman? Momentum and confidence is a very real phenomenon. Self doubt, on the players and coaches is very real. You are just wrong here. No point in arguing about confidence and momentum. We can disagree. It's cool.

Actually, this loss will have an impact. IU was probably a 3 seed, possibly a 2 with a few wins in the B1G tourney, but this loss now has them in the 4 seed range. Pretty big impact to the NCAA tournament to me as a fan.

Yeahhh, there's not gonna be a difference between a 3 and 4 but okay. Be mad about it. Eat your hearts out.

This team is going a long way. This loss will be a distant memory

I hope like heck in early April I am singing your calming praises and saying how right you were. I am worried I will just be mad about indiana basketball next weekend

glad you have confidence in a team that couldn't beat a bubble team in a home crowd environment. Not sure how that projects to a "long way".

We are all hoping for the same thing at least.

that I can agree with you this year there really isn't a difference between 3 and 4 in my opinion but usually there is

[HoosierAloha 30,024]

Can someone care about it but not be mad?  It matters if you lose your first game in your conference tourney, look at the history.  It matters being a 3 or 4, look at the history.  I guess you can just completely ignore stats and history though.

Ok big guy how far? How far is this great team going to go? And if they don't get there I bet we see you telling us all is well.

3s will play 2s. 4-5s will play 1s. The 1s are better than the 2s this year and most every year. Assuming we actually make it that far.

You don't think there's a difference in playing a Kansas, Michigan State, or Virginia instead of an Oklahoma or Oregon?

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,944]

amen.

[MadAboutIndiana 402]

Guys it's one game. ONE GAME. You cannot make sweeping generalizations about this team based off one emotional gut wrenching loss. Do we not understand how idiotic it is to do that?

This one game does not provide a "projection" for how we will do in the NCAA. So dumb lol.

His long is a long way? Final Four. This team has it all when healthy. Leaving Blackmon and Morgan out, take Rob off this team and we finish in 6-8th place in the B1G. His absence matters...... Much much much much more than any decision our coaches made today

[MadAboutIndiana 402]

You don't think there's a difference in playing a Kansas, Michigan State, or Virginia instead of an Oklahoma or Oregon?

You have to play them at some point. It might be better to play them earlier? We don't know. Imagine that?

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,944]

I am forecasting we are everyone's "upset" special on Sunday.

But we wouldn't be if we had gone 6 for 17 from 3PT instead of 4-17?
