Popular Post Walking Boot of Doom Posted January 11, 2017 Popular Post Posted January 11, 2017 It's baffling that we're underperforming that much. It feels like we're heading in the 2013-2014 direction again. That team had 3 McAA and missed the tourney. This one only has 2 and we could easily fall flat. If I were to put Crean in a "tier" of B1G coaches it'd be near the bottom. Leader - IzzoGreat - Matta, Beilein, Gard (need more time)Solid - Painter, Turgeon, Miles, Collins, Crean, Chambers, Franimal Turrble - Little Rick, Groce I'd put turgeon Crean and franimal in a category between turrble and solid called Blue Balls. Lots of hype and promise that usually let's you downSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Hoosier_roots, GloryDays, HoosierAloha and 6 others 9 Quote

That would be the worst scenario possible. Glass would be impressed that Crean turned the season around and give him a 5-6 year extension. The stuff of nightmares lol. Quote

HoosierAloha Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 That team had 2, Vonleh and Yogi. And they managed to not even make the NIT.That's right. I was thinking JBJ but he wasn't until 2014. Anyways, the teams have a common denominator... Quote
Scooter D Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 The game last night (really the entire season) is really an indictment on Crean's recruiting style and approach to getting the kids to graduate in three years...or maybe it is just the world that we live in now...not really sure. However, the team seriously lacks leadership...in the form of senior leadership. If Yogi (or someone like him) was on the team, I think that we would be having an entirely different conversation.

The stuff of nightmares lol. Exactly. We cannot make a run to the sweet 16 now. I know it sounds bad, but then we would be stuck with Crean for another 8 years. Would probably reach the sweet 16 4 times out of the next 8 if that happens. Can't have that at IndianaFire Sweet 16 Crean!Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Alford Bailey, recker222000 and Hoosierfan2017 3 Quote

Uwe Robb Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Made the prediction with my brother before Maryland game that IU goes 2-4 to finish up JAN. That was me giving them wins at home against Rutgers and Mich St. All losses on the road. I really really want to be wrong about this, but my prediction has started out on point.

BGleas Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 3 hours ago, ziggyiu said: It's sad that some IU fans are talking about what could boost the team into the tourney. That should never be the goal or a relief or even part of the discussion. If IU barely makes it into the tourney again and gets bounced in their first or second game, that's not progress. That's not success. That's the sign of a stagnant program. P. S. I'm not calling those fans out in anyway. It's just my observation of the state of the program and what that lends fans to talk about. If IU were more successful we'd talk realistically about titles, for example. It would be 3 out of 4 years that we're fishing for wins to get into the tourney. 4 years ago we didn't even get in, 3 years ago we were on the bubble but got in and lost in the first round, last year solidly in, and now this year hoping again.

bigrod Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 I didn't get to see the game, but listening to Fischer on the podcast try to put a positive spin on the game. I'm pretty amused with his take on Blackmon. Fischer said it was their best defensive game, and they gave up 75. Do you ever notice that anyone talking about Blackmon only mentions his offense and not how many points he is giving up? He absolutely kills us defensively. I seriously think opposing coaches tell their team to get the ball to whoever he is supposed to be guarding.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER and schoosier 2 Quote
