That's great news! I thought he was all along but it's great to hear that it's official.
Are we to expect a deeper run next year with all we have returning? Will anyone be satisfied with a sweet 16 or less and less than 2 big ten tournament wins no matter how successful our regular season is?
Told you he wasn't going anywhere and Scott called it once again. What about Williams Scott?
CTC is starting to get a few breaks and building a very strong foundation for an extended run of title contending!
We all want to get past sweet sixteen. In a one and done tourney you never know. Having Bryant back certainly won't hurt our chances. Getting a 1 or 2 seed would also help.

Some of us will expect but I think there is a group of fans who are content with sweet sixeteens. So no don't expect everyone one board with a deeper run.
Yes... A New National Championship Banner would look Great in a newly remodeled Assembly Hall..
Of course they are coming back. We told you this last month. He was only on one draft board in the first round, and that draft board isn't very good. Troy was second round....next year. Those screaming they were gone were clueless.
Boom, lock Crean in for longer.
As soon as anyone finds a message where someone (ANYONE) says they are ok with only sweet 16's let us know. Until then, stop using that lame false statement. It just makes you look foolish.

Don't give a crap about BTT (see all the Conf Tournament champs who lost in early rounds this yr), but yes -- at this point, with this lineup, we should expect final 8, or preferably 4.
How did Michigan State's deep run go this year?
The NCAA tournament doesn't guarantee anything. You can have the best team in the country, but anything call happen on a given day. Bob Knight's teams underperformed to their seeding 12 times in his 29 years at IU. Think about that for a second. Over 40% of the time Knight's teams runs in the tournament should have been longer than they were, but they didn't. Yes, he won titles, but explain why in those 12 years he didn't go as far as he should have? Or Coach Izzo? or Coach K? Or name the coach and team. Because the NCAA tournament and deep runs require not only good teams and good coaching, but some luck, beneficial matchups, etc. There's a reason why Coach Wright couldn't get past the first weekend the last 6 years until this year, despite two #2 seeds and one #1 seed.
I don't think anyone is "content" with sweet 16s. "Not wanting fire Crean this moment" does not equal "content"
Spa has been back and forth on his/her support for Crean. He/She just likes to argue and throw comments out that have nothing behind them. I've learned to just ignore him/her.
If you think anybody is satisfied with sweet 16 runs regardless of talent then you are crazy. Those who hate Crean's coaching believe that because they cannot see the forest for the trees.
1) Woo hoo!!
2) It should be Final Four or bust with that line-up but we all know if we flame out in the first round, his apologists will have a bucket of excuses and say, "Most schools would kill just to make the Dance every year."
Top two big ten finish and elite 8 or final 4 as this is le
Maybe you are not but there were plenty of posters talking that seemed fine with a sweet sixteen this last year. Its good to see a lot of you want more.
The excuses have already started......
You can't use, "It's a crap shoot" every single year.........
The famous "lots of people"....
How about we just enjoy the good news this morning.
Statement of reality...many great teams prove that year in, year out
Ok you win then! I am glad to hear nobody is satisfied with sweet sixteens. That means we can high very high expectations for this group. I am glad we are all of the same page.
As you said, I'm all for enjoying the news but you're disingenuous to say lots of people haven't been satisfied with Sweet 16's....and that goes back to Knight's last 6 years.
Exactly.
Let's see all these people claiming, "We're never just satisfied with a Sweet 16" go on record they want Crean's head if he can't even get to the Elite 8 with this team.
They aren't "great" if it happens every single year.
People can excuse it happening to Izzo once in awhile since he's been to so many Final Fours.

Now eat your humble pie!
I have to say that I'm more excited over this than I was over his original commitment. We've seen what he has already brought to the program in terms of skill and heart... but he can get oh, so much better, and now we'll get to see a LOT more of that upside going forward. [And no fretting over the next couple of months about what he may or may not decide to do!] Can't wait for next year's season to start.
Go Hoosiers!
Go Hoosiers!
Actually it is national championship or bust ...that is the reality... it's that way every year
IU should be picked to win the big ten along with maybe Wisconsin but nobody returns more talent then IU.
He will only improve with Davis practicing against him every day.
