If crean stays the board will be miserable no matter what he does in the nit. Winning the nit does not change a thing but he is not winning it so its a mute point

They shouldn't even be playing this stupid tournament

It stinks but I don't mind it. I'd like to see Crean give some of JBJ's and TB's minutes to the young guys. I'd like to see De'ron and Green each get around 30 minutes to see what they can do. It's a chance to play a road game against another P5 school, and it sounds like Georgia Tech will have a big crowd so it's a worthwhile experience, imo.

Crean isn't gonna give those other guys playing time. He really hasn't done it all year so I can't see why he would change that tonight

Yeah I don't see it happening either but I still think it would be a good idea. Since the NIT doesn't matter it would give the young guys a chance to get some valuable minutes and carry some momentum into the offseason. Cujo, DG, De'ron, McSwain, etc. are all going to be key next year so a road game against an ACC school could really help them. If our main guys don't bring it from the start then I say screw it, let the young guys finish the season out.

I agree that the young guys need to play more tonight. It's the NIT and it doesn't mean anything except giving younger guys more playing experience. And I can probably guarantee that the main guys won't bring it at all. But will Crean change his ways? I'm gonna side with no

I hope he does too, but I agree he won't. Would love to see Green and Davis together on an extended run. I think defensively we would be better, and not much drop off offensively depending who we sub out.

I really want to see Green and Cujo get extended runs at PG.

I don't wanna see CuJo at PG, but he needs to play a lot tonight. I think he has potential. And we know Devonte Green has potential. That's the PG of the future. Green, CuJo and Davis need to play a lot tonight

[Hoosierfan2017 21,116]

DG/RoJo/Morgan/McSwain/Davis

I wonder what a lineup like that would look like. We wouldn't have as much 3 point firepower but we'd have nice size. Get some in/out action going.

I imagine Cujo would start over McSwain.  And I am sure we would still shoot plenty of 3s

Raise your hand if anyone here thinks Crean will have this lineup at any point tonight

I wouldn't mind Cujo getting a lot of minutes. I think he lost his confidence during the season and hasn't gotten it back yet. McSwain makes me nervous whenever he dribbles but I think he's gotten a lot better this year. He's a big body that can play d and clean up the glass. I feel like about every other game he gets a putback dunk that energizes the team. 

I'm just not a fan of 3 guard lineups so I was thinking of what we could do with a more "traditional" lineup. I don't think we'll see it tonight but I can dream lol.

Why has Priller not gotten much run since purdue? He looked good imo but that is typical for our coach. Msb needs 15 minutes tonight imo

I feel like our guys were sent on a suicide mission for no good reason. I remember us playing here twice and both times we got crushed one of those were creans first year i think.

Cause he isn't good at all. The only reason he looked decent is because the Purdue players literally acted like he wasn't even on the court. Go look at every play  he scored, his man acted like Purdue was playing 5 on 4. 

 

Edit: He gave more effort than most of the guys, which isn't saying much either. Its great to see a guy go out there and give effort, but he is completely outclassed by major D-1 talent. Last thing I want to watch is him trying to match up against Lammers

Maybe tech will ignore him also. I know what you are saying but i will take a guy giving effort over a 5 star not giving any.

If any of our freshmen get extremely limited minutes for no apparent reason, i.e., a blowout either way, it may be an indication they've already given off signals they may not return.

Have a feeling this will be the last time we see JBJ in a Hoosier uniform
