Crean calling the WVU Texas game. Pretty good listen. 

Agreed. Pains me to say but sometimes I miss the guy

He knows his ball. Love hearing him talk through everything he’s seeing whether it’s free throw technique or actions the teams are running. More insightful than basically any other color guy I’ve heard this year.
 

You can tell he prepared his butt off. He knows everything about these teams.

Crean in studio is the best. He misses nothing and he’s, weirdly enough, concise making his points.

Kudos to Tom, he’s found his niche. Been solid in studio all year and I’m impressed with his game call today

Most of St.John's 14 point lead gone.  Providence within 2 at half.

Kentucky is a horribly badly coached team.

And therefore, for me a fun watch.

For example—and make sure to watch the reaction of two guys:

1) Calipari

2) #22, five star-excellent player Cason Wallace, who, if they lose today, may just come up with some draft-preservation mystery injury.

“What if Crean hired a Yaklich-style assist and handed him the defense” remains an interesting counter-factual thought experiment

Two thoughts:

It would be an on court winner

 Crean would NEVER consider anyone more knowledgeable than he is.

Seems like a well run, disciplined program.

I'm not a betting man, but Wisconsin is a 3 point favorite at Nebraska.  I love Nebraska at the value.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

#3 for Georgia was fun to watch first half.  Kid has a ton of potential.

I understand what you guys are saying.  He knows the game inside and out, and he knows these teams down to most finite detail.  But he just talks too much for me.  It sounds like this is a three-man crew, and the other two guys can barely get a word in.  I can totally understand how a kid he’s coaching would tune him out.  It’s just noise after a while.

[Stuhoo]

Big Blue?

Big blew.

about to lose by about 10 to Georgia

Really thought Livingston was gonna be a great player at UK. Averaging just 5 ppg

Would love to see Thiero transfer out. With proper coaching he’d be excellent at IU.

And Cupp’s boy Sheppard. He’d look good at IU too.   ;)

Sh!tty coaches will do that to a kid.

In a battler for the first place lead in the MVC, Drake up 32 to 9 on Southern Illinois.

Sycamores pounding UNI in Cedar Falls. Gunning for that double bye.
