IU vs. MSU Postgame

[Beowulf50 816]

Another missed opportunity. I'm very dissapointed with this team, coach and season. This team was capable of a lot more than this. No way we should be in this situation. I'm sick and tired of not having a team to look forward to watching in the big dance.

Nobody told me it takes Crean 3 years to build a NCAA team. He's trying to show us twice as if we forgot the first time.

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

2 out of 7 years to the NCAAs.

Everybody stare at this and let it sink in.

[bnkepner 1,509]

I'm depressed. Feel sad for our players.

 

Hoping for good news soon. About something, please.

Its honestly just as much on the players. When you don't hustle and don't pay attention to your man, you aren't going to win ball games. When you miss free throws (gimmes) you aren't going to win games.

Going down double digits in a about 4 possessions and then not getting stops until the Hoosiers kick it in at desperation time in the last 3 minutes is basically the template for the last 3 home losses now:(

Promising season? They were picked to finish towards the bottom of the Big Ten

im tired of everyone defending crean because we were picked to finish in bottom of bigten. I'm sorry that I don't want the team I have rooted for to be picked in the bottom of the league to justify this season.

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

Yeah, I know, Kepner, but they are still kids and need better coaching to succeed at a high level.

Im not justifying anything. Did I mentioned Creans name in my post…NO! Don't put words in my mouth (my post)
Im just saying last year and this year we were expected to be bad then people act surprised when we are a bad team. Granted this year IU came out like gang busters. Im not a Crean supporter but we can't all of a sudden pretend that we were supposed to win the Big Ten or something. Thats just ludicrous.

Please, we don't live in a vacuum.  When we were tied for 1st and ranked, it was a promising season.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

U can't be mad at yogi over a free throw.. the other missed 30 possessions carry more weight on a win/loss. We can't expect the dude to go 14 for 15 just to tie a game.

[bnkepner 1,509]

I definitely agree, but there are things that no coach can control. Yogi missing a free throw, Id like to see the spin on how the was the coaches fault. Players losing sight of their man. Those two things are what kill us and those are on players. I agree that its time for a coaching change, but we can't just let the players go off easy.

Get real. There is zero difference between this team and Maryland. One is currently a top 10 team and the other can't even make a field of 68.

[HoosierCoop 3,922]

Selfish play
No defense
No passing
S***load of dribbling
No troy williams
A lax jbj
Where has rojo been the last month???
Hanner should have had more minutes

Can this season just be over?

I am nOt excited to watch an NIT game just watch and get more pissed off.

Have to go pop some blood pressure medicine.

What about Yogi losing his man on D most of the game?

[Jketch 385]

Blessing in disguise

Well there is a lot of different, Maryland wins games and is ranked. We have lost 8 of 12 and are not ranked…those are differences haha.

yes.. and u r point/ego?

Yea then....We were 15-4...19 games into the season in which we've played 32.  When you have a record like that over halfway into the year, it's promising.  Especially when you consider the "easy" part of our schedule was on the back-end.
