Was the game plan all Woody's doing or do we think he's washed his hands on the season and it was the assistant coaches who put it together?

The Zone??? It didn't look like anyone had to really labor on defense to prevent 3pt off of screens.  It slowed penetration and really kept the guards from being a threat.  Our hands and deflections were more active as well.  Crean would've been pleased!

Keep bringing the zone if it works.

Can’t watch it until tonight because we were celebrating daughter #2’s 21st birthday. But got a text from a friend saying, “Woodson’s not the only 1 who should be retiring. Worst coaching job of Izzo’s career.”  Quite the teaser. 

Izzo was literally crying -- I mean there were tears! (Which made me smile.) That guy is a complete wackjob, whinny little jackamole. Another prime example of all overlooked when winning. Can't wait until he retires.

Btw, isn't it crazy when your daughter(s) turn 21? Mine turned 21 this year as well --

Someone always has “the scout” so I think it’s close to business as usual. Looked like it was Kenya last night based on bench interactions. We’re all done with Woody, but to me it still looks like he’s pretty locked in at least for the 40 minutes.

My 84-year old mother watching the game:

"Is Izzo actually crying? I see tears! Lol"

I mean, when your 84-year old mom is laughing at Izzo, life is good. :)

A game in which I miss talking to my grandmother about with Izzo on the sideline looking befuddled.

Listening to the radio it was said that Woodson would not be doing the Monday night show for the rest of the season.

Me trying to figure out Gallo's broken FT shooting.

lol. Crean was definitely clapping somewhere with all those deflections.  The guys looked very quick last night at closing the gaps in the zone.  
 

Creans only disappointment maybe that we didn’t switch from 3-2, to 2-3, to man, to 1-3-1, to box and one all in the same possession.

Nice win. I didn't expect it so it was a nice surprise.

I'm glad Izzo didn't get the satisfaction of passing Knight by beating IU.

I only caught the last few minutes of the game and was shocked that we were winning and had played zone.  About time we mixed things up a bit.

I have to wonder a) was msu caught off guard by our defense, and b) how effective it could be in upcoming games with teams that prepare for it and have capable 3-pt shooters.

There isnt a lot of film on Reneau?  Are you kidding me?  Dudes game has been the exact same since the day he walked onto IUs team.

He still needs to listen to the scout.  We have been better since Illinois but too deep of a hole and better does not equal good as we should be. Credit though to the team and coaches for a big win on the road against a strong team.  I kind of wish i would have been interested enough to watch it

It would be very interesting to tally our record based on which assistant had the scout.

The assistant that has the scout sits to Woody's left during games; the opposite side from Armond Hill's Napping Chair (all rights reserved)

Just think if we pulled out 3 of the Northwestern, Maryland, Purdue, and Michigan games. 

Yep life is what if's. And just think if ohio state hit the shot at the end that would have been a loss Just think if boozer had not missed the shot at the end of the game after the fife foul on the three pointer.
