Attacking Blackmon on O and switching Cowan to Blackmon on D. Both worked. They won a close game. Granted, Rob hits that we are still playing but.... Could have won it outright. Blackmon stepping out of bounds up 2 with ball was a critical point as as well. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners As good as he was last night, he was directly responsible for 2 five-point swings that went against us. The first one was the botched fast-break that resulted in OG's missed dunk. He couldn't decide if he wanted to take it or lob it, and the result was a bad pass that OG was fortunate to even get a hand on for an extremely difficult dunk attempt which he missed. Maryland then hit a 3. The other one was his missed layup. I don't know if he was surprised at how open he actually was, but I have no idea how that ball didn't go in. Maryland responded with another 3. Out of the final media timeout, up by 2, we made a great defensive play on Trimble, and moments later he steps on the sideline. Just some brutal mistakes that can't happen on the road. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
HoosierAloha 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 appIt's not a secret and opposing coaches absolutely know to attack him. DD referenced this several times last night. We had the same issues with Troy last season. Bryant is getting exposed and abused too. Quote
yogisballin Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 @ Maryland Rutgers@ Penn StateMichigan St@ Michigan@NorthwesternWe're going to beat Rutgers but every other game of the next 6 is very losable. Izzo will probably be making the corner with his team by the time they come to Bloomington and much like Pitino, Izzo knows how to pressure Crean teams out on the perimeter. Tough stretch coming boys. Buckle up. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appHopefully these Ls keep coming! Best end result Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

They lead the B1G in forced turnovers and we turn it over the most, plus it's on the road. They've given us trouble by slowing it down in the past too. WayneFleekHoosier and Hoosier_roots 2 Quote

8bucks Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Did the ball start rolling before? Thought Janitor alluded to some activity before TB committed which seemed to quiet things down. WayneFleekHoosier and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
brandct Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 I figure pressure will mount now it will just be a matter if he pulls another rainbow out of the clouds and gets this team playing ball, which IMO would not be the best thing for the program.

Thought Janitor alluded to some activity before TB committed which seemed to quiet things down. Glass inquired about multiple coaches in the weeks leading up to Bryant's commitment. Bryant committed about a week after Glass announced Crean was staying. The thought process was that since Crean still had 5 seasons left on his contract, a move didn't have to be made just yet, and with the addition of Bryant plus Yogi and Troy staying, the team would contend the following year.

WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Still a LOT of season left. Sadly I think it will take a free fall for Crean to be fired. Not sure .500 in conference will get him canned. His recruiting misses and class next season won't help his cause though. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners HoosierAloha 1 Quote

Sent from my iPad using BtownBannersI mean even if we didn't make the dance somehow, I still believe we are still another poor season away from him being fired. Glass doesn't have the guts to shake up the biggest program here at IU. At least until we're NIT bubble bound for more than two years with talent.
