The Hoosier meltdown is epic. Does TC make it to B1G play?

Ucla also had all they could handle against Unlv the other nite as well.

Amazing how much parity there is in the country.

Little nugget of pain in that link.....noting that the one and only time these two teams played was in the final four in 87.....thanks for reminding me a**hole!

Nobody does less with more than Tommy

GFC. Way to represent.

Part of it's Crean, but I think the other part is Indiana's talent is vastly overrated.

Where is the OSU fan who was telling us how great IU would be this year? They will win a lot of games, but it looks like they still need someone to play some defense around the basket.

I haven't seen them play. Is it their backcourt, their frontcourt, or both?

Good question... I have watched them twice and say it's a combo of both. Yogi can still get his shot when he wants to and seems to have the green light to do so. Looks like they have some streaky shooters and very inconsistent finishing at the rim. It was a key moment at the end of the game yesterday and Blackmon did a nice job of beating a trap and then his guy with the dribble only to miss the layup. On defense they look very average and did give up some inside buckets.

When IU gets to be average at defense they will win some games. They are a horrible defensive team right now.

Thank goodness for Tom Crean. During the disaster years of Lick, Tan Tommy's Hoosiers were even worse. I hope IU gives him a lifetime contract.

 

[icu81222]

In typical Crean form, he threw his players under the bus

 

[LaoHawk]

Good thing Fran doesn't allow himself on Twitter (or does he?)...

 

[hawkeye54545]

Lost again!? I'd say it's about time for Tommy C to Crean some players. Someone has to pay.

Fair enough... I was trying to be nice by saying average

Crean is a disaster. I have heard many stories of his "coaching" techniques, both in practice and in games, from a couple of his former assistants. It amazes me how a place like Indiana doesn't do their homework before they make a hire like Crean.

Is that a beer?

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Crean is probably the biggest advantage opponents have when playing the hosers. For Iowa's benefit I hope he stays there a long time.

Please share.

He was coaching like he had a lot of them.

 

[Hawkeyeforlife77]

They missed a ton of free throws and are fairly small in the paint.

 

[The Sleeping Dog]

Crean's a puke. Perfect fit for the Harbaughs.

Indiana recruits get an extra star for being recruited by the Hoosiers.
