Maybe he hasn't been practicing less.A breather for what? If they can't play 40 minutes tonight there is something wrong with them.
Maybe we get crazy everything goes in Troy now.16 minutes of bonus for UNC.
So unless Calipussipari is coaching them up on free throw shooting, this game is donezo.
I don't doubt that Crean is dumber than Buzz.It's ridiculous. You don't see UNC doing that dumb stuff.
Uh...all of IU's shots were basically wide open. Ziesloft, Hartman, the Michigan kid...all missed at least one wide open one. That is a bit encouraging though, if they can get it toghether.
The most discouraging thing...seeing dumby Buzz Williams (a Crean crony) talk at half. What a dunce. Good thing Wally set him straight. If Crean is half as dumb as Buzz, we are screwed.
I'd like our PG to grab the daggum ballThat's not why I'm pissed. Crean's decisions are hurting this team. UNC won't stay hot. But IU needs to have the right guys on the floor.
I'm not even complaining about the poor defense. I just want certain players in the game and the ball in the hands of our pg.
I don't doubt that Crean is dumber than Buzz.
That said, the difference in the game is field goal percentage.
Oh, and now, in the second half, fouls.

IU has no chance now with Carolina in the 1and1 with 16 minutes to play.
LOL OG in for Troy.I'm just glad OG hasn't played much. Not like he did anything in the first half. wtf???
Yeah, I know. Weak sauce.A breather for what? If they can't play 40 minutes tonight there is something wrong with them.
Just for my education, what adjustments did Crean make that hurt IU?Those shots for UNC are largely uncontested. I mean they don't normally hit at this rate, but jesus...most teams are going to hit a fair percentage of uncontested shots.
I thought *maybe* IU could get back into in the 2nd half by a little UNC regression to the mean and IU waking up. But as usual...Crean's halftime adjustments actually make IU worse. Unreal.
What a complete clusterf**k brought about by a team completely unprepared to play basketball.
Typical right? Out talent the first and second then lose to a good team.Those shots for UNC are largely uncontested. I mean they don't normally hit at this rate, but jesus...most teams are going to hit a fair percentage of uncontested shots.

Oh sweet....the announcers are going to shill for Crean now.

Was Carolina the better team? I think so. Did I expect IU to win, no, I did not.Those shots for UNC are largely uncontested. I mean they don't normally hit at this rate, but jesus...most teams are going to hit a fair percentage of uncontested shots.

2nd half has been very disappointing. 1st I can attribute to Paige chucking some watthe****s that drained, soft rims, and some bad luck. This 2nd half, they've been straight beat and would be beat worse if it weren't for the Troy AndBullshit Mixtape tour providing the offensive spark.

But, what makes you think that they were "completely unprepared to play basketball"? This is unfounded hyperbole, and I would suggest, asshattery. I'm telling you that if Carolina didn't hit 7 of 8 from 3 in the first half, this is a different game.
Sometimes that's how it is.
I'm guessing because OG is hurt.I'd have Yogi shoot every single time. Option 2 being just pound it to Bryant inside.
Wonder why Crean has decided not to use OG this half.
Water finds its level. Be ready for a subpar shooting performance by UNC in the 2nd.
The D isn't good. It looks like the D that IU has played for the last few years.
From there you hope Yogi shows himself as the best player on the floor.
No, you initially said Crean's halftime adjustments sucked, and then that he made none. Which is it?None that I can see. Williams made a good one (telling his guys to get down hill or toss it into the paint and not rely on 3's), which amounts to a -1 for 'ol IU.
So when your playing awful defense to start with it hurts a little when they adjust to take advantage of you even more, and you do nothing. Honestly, the things IU needed to be good at are the things that get taught throughout the season. Not so much a failure of Crean at half time (because he's incapable of doing what needs to be done), and more so a failure of his defensive philosophy, in general.
It's just a little comical thinking, "Ok, everything went their way, it can't get much worse, right?"...and then it gets worse.

Well, at that point, they were already in the double bonus, so why shoot 3's?At the midpoint in the second half it shows that UNC had hit two more 3s than IU.
To me it's the same old story. Poor defense. No ability to establish rhythm because of odd substitution patterns. Putting players in position to fail (like Morgan running the point, Troy being a primary ball handler).
I'm guessing because OG is hurt.
Ever consider that?
He rolled his ankle in the last game, and who knows how it felt today. I don't know, and neither do you.
Will you please put your thumb up your ass and stop posting in this thread? ThanksWell, at that point, they were already in the double bonus, so why shoot 3's?
The difference was in the first half. Period.
You guys read that wrong. We actually did a decent job keeping UNC out of their game in that first half. Paige hit shots, and that's why UNC was leading but UNC didn't get to attack the rim and they didn't dominate the boards.
Paige hitting shots is not UNC's offense; Hicks, Meeks, and Johnson, is. They didn't have a very good first half..... you know, the guys kicking our asses in the 2nd half. We did well not to get blown out. Well, until now.
I was just reading this thread watching Cuse win on TV, and watching IU on my PC, and just had to say that because I was actually impressed wit our first half effort. To have Paige hitting 3's UNC usually rolls.
and this ...
What's silly is running with UNC. It's just dumb. We're going to give them 100+ ... So the answer to the question I posed earlier in the week is, "retarded".
Okay, go back to the game. Have fun. @Moops Duke also slowed the game down in the 2nd half.
He's not.

Who the phack are you? You want to make a point, or a comment? Pertaining to the game? Otherwise - shut the phuck up.Will you please put your thumb up your ass and stop posting in this thread? Thanks
