Indiana at Rutgers - 13:00 EST on ESPN2 - Official Game Thread

[Trish 11,556]

 

Don't worry, Crean has identified communication lapses - and the decrease of verbal communication more generally in society - as IU's problem on defense. And he's addressing that problem!!

From today's Herald-Times:

Perhaps at the top of the to-do list is honing in on the communication lapses that the Hoosiers cannot afford against the league’s better teams.

 

“To me, we can be a lot better at that,” Crean said. “We can be a lot better. ... To me, it’s just a commitment to say, ‘No, I’m not going to let my man get it,’ or, ‘I’m going to make sure he knows there’s help. Communication in sports, because of the way things are ... with so little verbal communication being required of people, it’s going to get harder and harder. The bottom line to me is, for those couple hours a day when you got them, you have to absolutely make them talk and hope that it’s going to carry over onto the court.”

 

 

 

Oh boy..

Yogi and Troy have hit their TO quota, 4 each!

[Parakeet Jones 3,748]

Can you blame them for not wanting to go to New Jersey?

Same Crean IU basketball, different day!

If by owning them, you mean beating them by 12 to 16 points then you would be correct, sir or madam.

[8bucks 6,440]

We are really good at defending the wide open layup. Killing them there. I think they have missed 6 so far

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

We're in a dog fight... with Rutgers!

[coonhounds 8,934]

Lol Rutgers stinks. We're not any better though ugh

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

This team is really testing my ability to feel embarrassed.

 

I'm so glad this is on in the middle of a work day.

[HoosierCoop 3,927]

I cannot believe we were ranked at one time.

 

Good gravy!

No by "Same Crean IU Basketball" I mean typical high turnover, zero leadership, playing down to your competition type of game.

I guess that was the quota for the half.  Waiting for Troy to get the ever elusive triple dub in points, rebounds, and TOs.

you live a thousand miles away just don't wear iu gear and no need to be embarrassed. It stinks living in same state as purdue fans

[Trish 11,556]

I remember when some people were saying we could be a final four team.

 

lol 

[Parakeet Jones 3,748]

Even with our struggles and no JBJ today, I still expected a 15+ point win.
