only lost because of Crean.

Probably because the opposing coach was essentially taunting him for being dumb in the post game presser , and there’s about two dozen other games where coaches tripped him up with zones.  
 

We win that game 90% of the time with any competent xs and os coach. And lose it 90% of the time with Crean at the helm, imo.

Looked like crap.

6th banner is looking like a long shot 

I still think we beat OSU at home to go to 3-1.

Crean wasn't close to anything... couldn't get out of the Sweet Sixteen with the #2 and #4 picks in the same NBA draft...

And Woodson is NOT the answer.

He had 6/1000 point scorers on that team also. Biggest bust goes to Tommy Naismith.

There are a ton of Nebraska's though and they just kicked our @$$.

We won’t always play that bad. And it was on the road. We’ll win a couple we shouldn’t. 

[Josh 12,621]

This was unacceptable.  Absolutely unacceptable.  Everybody needs to feel the heat from Trustees down to players

Let's face the only reason made the tourney the the first two years is an all American decided to come back twice. Without tjd they were not making the tourney.

you can say that about a lot of teams.  You don’t have good players you don’t make the tournament.

50 year old. Maybe his alcohol addiction will end in his coaching prime.

I really do wish we could find a seriously winning coach that just figures it out. Somewhere.

Tonight was really disappointing and embarrassing. Hadn’t lost to Nebraska since 2017…and this isn’t even a good Nebraska team…just unacceptable. 

We are what we are…

If IU is top 15 consistently I do not care if Coach drinks a 1/5 after every win

I’m praying Brad has the itch to coach again in his home state.

I talked to a knowledgeable Syracuse grad prior to the game expecting he would agree it would be a tough game.  Instead he surprised me by saying  “we kill teams with midget guards like you guys”. 5’11” Hulls, basically playing with a sling, and 5’11” freshman Yogi got eaten alive on the perimeter by their 6’7” lottery pick guard. Cody had a very bad game. It was a terrible match-up and match-ups matter in the tourney. In the following game Syracuse held Marquette to 39 points.
I’m not saying Crean did a great job but sometimes it seems like people think we lost to UE.

What do we do to the trustees tonight?
March to their homes with lit torches…LOL

If a coach would get us in the top 10 consistently I’d be ok with the coach drinking 1/5 during the game (in a brown bag of course)

[IU_FanClub 1,652]

Team does not seem to be improving

That’s fine, but I still don’t think they are a good team… but the season will tell that story.

Exactly. Like go ahead buddy, be off your rocker but you better be able to draw up some comprehensive X & O’s. There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, “Just win baby”

People always leave out that 2/3 zone Cuse had that year was a top 10 defense.  And that team was a preseason top 5 team that had a bad stretch that bumped them down.   I remember doing bracketology that year and when they blew that  big lead against Louisville in the Acc tourney finals and lost I knew they were going to be under seeded and it would cost someone.    This team and game hurt so many IU fans because it was the best chance IU had at a deep March run in a very long time.   Reality was there were other teams just as good and teams that were definitely playing better than them in March.   Disappointing finish but wasn’t unexpected after the way IU finished that year.
