IU v. Wisco Game Thread 2/3 7pm on ESPN

[HoosiersLoveBanners 797]

Difference has become turnovers, fouls and free throws

[IUBB666 201]

The saddest part are the posters not mad about us losing like this. This is Indiana and I know we say it everyday on here. But this isn't the Indiana we used to know. Fans wouldn't go "what did you guys expect? We played the number 4 team in the country" it doesn't matter what the rank is. You come out and you beat them ! You play hard. You play with heart. And tonight we did nothing at all. But its okay, they're ranked 4th. It's okay to be down 30 points because they're ranked higher.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Great final 12 minutes of basketball.


And a Kaminsky dunk fail.

[schoosier 3,504]

This is the only thing that I am going to say tonight, but if Crean does not go out tonight and pay a good big man to come to IU next year, he needs to be fired. 
 
Like I have said before, maybe not having big men worked in that Micky Mouse league that he came from, but not here.  This is the big time. 
 
That is all.  Good night.

2 lottery bigs back to back with 6 career 1000 point scorers on one team plus lottery Olidipo makes me think Wilt Chamberlin wouldn't make a difference. Crean would still choose to only play him 20 minutes a game and sit him after every dunk. Crean would lose with Kentucky's roster because at some point they have to be coached.

Just another Crean legacy. Really sad. It's been many a year but I didn't realize we hung final four banners. We had the one conf championship banner from 83 to honor the fans, and Crean disrespects it by hanging his only accomplishment. What do you expect?

 

That banner needs to come down the day he's gone.

No one is not upset about losing like this.

Just think if wins came in 10 minute spurts we would still be 0-4 tonight.

[HoosierCoop 3,939]

That's kaminskys first foul?????

[shortspacequickness 1,034]

That's crap. That team should never, ever be forgotten.

To be fair, I think its only one banner with all the years together.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Ended within everyone's tolerable deficit. Tough loss, but the team made a great effort the final 12 minutes and got it to 14. Take the lump against a possible championship contender, get back to AH, prepare for Michigan, and get the win before going to another tough game against Maryland.

[JSHoosier 20,332]

The banner could be taken down and it wouldn't negate anything about that team and they certainly wouldn't be forgotten.  That year would still be on the same banner as every B1G title.

Well, when does the wrist-slitting party start? Got my razor...

[schoosier 3,504]

I agree. Its what we've come to expect from a Crean coached team. Just think of all the cupcakes Wisconsin played prior to conference play, only one allowed more points than our 3.5 million $ coached team. Now that's what I call earning your check. I submit a $50,000 a year high school Indiana coach would do a much better job than Crean. Hell, what do some of these low D1 coaches make per year. Do you think Crean earns his paycheck supported by your tax $ if you live in Indiana. Just another burr in the saddle.

He said everyone is upset about losing. He used a double negative to express this.

I personally felt the only reason they got it to fourteen was because Wisky got complacent and slacked off. Not to be a downer

[Josh 12,652]

They shot 20 more foul shots than us and won by 14.  Hmmm

I was just thinking this. If I hadn't watched the game and just looked at the box score I would be disappointed in a loss but wouldn't have been so angry. Great final 12... On to Michigan. I will be there to make sure the Hall is rocking.... Let's go... Time to show the Indiana Hart!!!!!

[cthomas 6,511]

This game was not as close as the final score looks. Wisconsin really lost focus once the lead topped 30. Michigan is almost a must win situation.

[drewheck 749]

Our lack of a big man lost this game for us plus the god awful officiating didn't help and no jbj was big
