Iowa vs Indiana Official Post Game Thread

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,827]

Even worse than tonight's performance is that I don't think it will be much better next year if we can't bring in a legitimate 'big'.  The freshmen will be physically stronger but we painfully learned this year that we can't win by out shooting other teams.  It takes a legitimate presence in the middle and some level of defense which CTC seems incapable of teaching.

Oh well, Spring football is coming up soon.

And baseball season is underway.

[Alford Bailey 12,350]

Just shocking we were all so excited for the final stretch of this schedule too.

Yea, remember the 6-0 talk? Looking like 2-4. Even I didnt see this coming.

[Fulkme15 488]

On Saturday can we have a drinking contest while we all watch the game? Might make it more enjoyable

No one accounted for the typical late season swoon.

BTW, UK vs Georgia game is a great one so far!

Sad. That's all.

[Crimson and Cream 5,776]

Brian Shaw just got fired from the Nuggets today, I'd be calling him and telling him it's destiny, he was meant to be here. Anyone but Crean.

Oh well, Spring football is coming up soon.

I'm moving on to the baseball team.

Once again, towards the end of the season our boys look tired and not interested. This has happened the past few years...

 

 

Regarding the Celtics and Brad. The Celtics are fighting for the 8th seed in the playoffs. I should mention that the Eastern Conference in the NBA is terrible... so...  I do know a lot of celtic fans wanted the team to tank to gain a great pick this upcoming draft. Brad has done a pretty damn good job with a terrible Roster. 

 

Yeah they're 23-35 though, that's a lot of losing and more losing will probably come.

 

I still don't think he'd bail on the Celtics after just 2 years though.

Haven't talked to Fred Glass yet, but I firmly believe Tom Crean is coaching for his job Saturday against Michigan State.

Post game comments coming up shortly...don't tell me-"We'll grow from this."

CTC: "Great practices this week just poor recognition by everyone tonight."

Wow, first credible journalist to make such a statement I'm aware of

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,827]

CTC: "Great practices this week just poor recognition by everyone tonight."

I hope he was including the coaching staff in 'everyone'.

[Shakti 2]

Could we get the coach from Wichita St or VCU. They are both big time coaches that get their players going hard on both ends of the court.

I don't think Shaka's a good fit. He's a great coach, but his style of coaching is much better suited for mid-major basketball.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,827]

Zeisloft apparently just made a comment in the post-game that "having leadership at this point in the season is crucial".  Hope CTC was paying attention.

Lets hope.....

Tonight has brought me out of BTB retirement. I've been on the fence with Crean for the past 2 years. Not defending him against haters, just against overly dumb comments about him. I'm done defending him at all.

Quite possibly the lowest night of my IU fandom. I was ready to leave with about 5:30 left but couldn't do it. I knew we would come back and make it a game. By 2:00 I had given in. Given in on the game and more so on our leader. I walked out of the Hall feeling helpless. Watching whatever that was tonight was the most disappointed I've been since the last season of Prison Break. People were yelling for Brad Stevens during quiet times (there were plenty of those) in the building. The pictures of the crowd put out by the media before the game were misleading. Once the game got going the student section was as full as it has been with the exception of Maryland, and we stood the entire game (unlike some other games). The team got everyone into it a few times just to let us down not-so-softly with a turnover or foul.

I'll be back Saturday holding up 3 fingers every time we chuck one, I'll take in the 1974-75 team ceremony in lieu of senior day, and you better believe I'll go nuts when Troy dunks on someone, but I have zero interest in seeing Tom Crean on the Hoosier sideline in November 2015 unless he's handing Yogi a cup of Gatorade and folding his candy stripes at the end of the bench.
