IU Vs Gtown (Post Game Thread)

[FKfootball 1,046]

Honestly, Perea had 0 pts and 2 rbs at halftime. Could April do any worse?

[FKfootball 1,046]

I dont think playing April will cost us our season. We need a good 6-11 guy down the road.

[Hodge 1]

Has anyone notice that we have a seven footer and a six nine on the bench what can it hurt giving then some time iu can not defend with just one big in the game. Crean stop being stupid and play April he can't get better on bench.

I don't see Troy being here next season. He's a Pro!

I don't see Troy being here next season. He's a Pro!

could happen, he's looking good lately.

My top 5 Hoosier hopes:

1) we retain Troy, JB, and Yogi for next year.
2) find a legit big like Thomas Bryant/Swanigan(I know, but he fits perfectly too) 5th year transfer/etc
3) don't ever have to dip to the levels of Priller/April on the recruiting trails ever again
4) land Rawle Alkins in '16
5) replace CTC with a "Basketball" coach

#5 likely cancels #4, my only fear with replacing Crean. I didn't complain as much when he was landing 5 star talent, because even Crean can win with 5 stars but when the recruiting dipped to 2 and 3 star guys, that is a recipe for disaster with Crean at the helm.

Fixed that for you.

 

And for some reason, Crean is fascinated with 7-foot guys who really can’t play basketball and can’t get/stay healthy. Those guys are worthless to IU.

We tend to forget about Thon Maker for 2015 reclass. Our program is still hard after him right?

The problem is nobody wants to sign while creams there

Be careful what u say on here.

He continues the improvement he's showing the last couple of games and I agree!

Be careful where YOU troll. Looking for another vacation?

when we win, the same five people have a conversation on here for about a week, and when we lose a different five people have a conversation on here...

 

a great deal of program momentum is self fulfilling prophesy...the fan base can help create momentum in one direction or another.

 

I do not think that Roy Williams is a good coach but he has had a ton of success. This can largely be attributed to the fact that he generally has had support at Kansas and at UNC. Now he may be losing that support at UNC, it will be interesting to see how the flaws he has always had will now be focused on going forward.

 

I think the same can be said about Crean, but for whatever reason our fan base has always assumed we have a birthright on basketball knowledge and I firmly believe that we have undercut our own coaches twice now. Neither Davis or Crean is an amazing coach, but both have some real strengths that have gotten swallowed up by fan criticism.

 

If we are going to criticize coaching can we do better than blanket statements and ad hominem attacks? 

 

Last year he played too many people, this year it is too few. Last year people felt like players didn't have to earn their time on the floor. This year we assume that a freshmen guy on the end of the bench was the obvious answer to stopping a senior Five Star center who wasn't actually the reason that Georgetown won.

 

GT won because we let DSR get hot and because we missed quick shots during their first run in the second half and because we turned it over down the stretch. Josh Smith was a factor but GT did not need to be close enough for it to have mattered. Zeisloft, Hartman, Perea, Robinson, and Holt gave us nothing...if they even give us half their average contribution we win the game by 10 or 12 easily.

I guess if he is cool with playing in the D League or over seas. He isn't really anything but at best a 12th man in the NBA right now

Especially when it is wildly inaccurate or dumb

They draft off potential.

[KingPG21 6,587]

Neat. And you are greatly over exaggerating. Wings that can't shoot and are mediocre defensively grow on trees. There isn't a chance he would get drafted above the 55th pick and even that seems like a stretch

[bnkepner 1,509]

They draft off potential but most of the "potential" guys end up in the D league. Look at Vonleh. Lots of people didn't think he should leave and he is in the D league. He was injured to start the year but since has hardly played for a terrible team, and he is now in the D league on assignment.

Don't forget that he turns it over a lot as well. He has a lot of potential but no one is going to take a risk on him at this point. Can't shoot, no D, can't finish at the rim in traffic well, and turns the ball over. 

[HoosierHoops1 5,024]

Of course, you assume that the Hoosiers could have inbounded the ball. Or it’s a turnover and GT gets a last minute shot in regulation.

 

Regardless, the coaching is FUBAR is a major way.

This can't inbound crap is getting old as hell.
