I work with an MSU fan and he can't believe a team like IU doesn't have shooters. Are they still coaching that in high school?
Hell, when Knight's ass was kicked out a lot of people here thought just about any coach could continue to be successful at IU because of its winning tradition and being located in the state of Indiana with it's reputation for great college basketball recruits who could shoot. What happened to that advantage, then we can talk about what happened with NIL.
We did, MD had it ticking up again and people got tired of 6 seeds ... look where we are now. I admit I wanted him gone too, but hindsight is 20/20 and it's been nothing but bad since they fired him. He was clean and a nice person, they threw him to the fire and he got minutes away of #6, should have been given time to grow into the job
He couldn't hold Charlie's jock strap. Charlie never held up to expectations, but he had many, many break out games
Bullshit. He had one good team and three average ones. Guess we’re just acting like the Bracey Wright era never happened now…
Yeah, well Crean had 1 good one, one average one, and a litany array of horrid one's and he got a lot more slack than MD. I'd pine away to watch Bracey Wright era ball over what we have seen for 10 years.
Crean got more slack because he started from scratch. The Bracey Wright teams were unwatchable.
Cut Cav some slack. He is an agent, He has an economic reason to push these players. It’s not a wrong or right issue, what’s the movie where Tom cruise says show me the money?
Crean started from scratch because of Dickich kicking all the talent off, Crean could have asked them back ... he didn't and the reason for that .. woes me job security. This shit is way more unwatchable, Bracey Wright era was in many way better than an expected loss, at least then we knew we had a chance on the road, now it like why waste my time. I didn't like that offense either, but at least the ball went in the basket sometimes
Mike Davis went 15-14 then followed it up with 14-15. Grow into the job, after missing out on Oden, May and Conley?
Our only shots at getting to 11 wins are:
MD also had to put up the Knight crew badmouthing him to every recruit that would listen.
He took a team that RMK would have done nothing with to the NC game, his players came back from an almost 20 point deficit at the half to beat #1 Duke, I think he was an OK coach and still getting actual talent not miscreants that want to go into the transfer portal because they are not any good or bad teammates
Agent = salesman. Has zero to do with actual basketball intellect which is why I follow the board and watch Indiana basketball and post on this board.
Why should he be cut slack for being another sleazy salesman? I’ve been calling his bluff since last fall and took a lot of heat for it
I don’t disagree. At this point, at best I see us winning 2 more games.
Which means we ain’t getting to 11. WISC will probably beat us a lot easier in Bloomington—once we got their attention with the 22-point lead in Madison, they outscored us by 27. This time around, we won’t even get the 22-point lead.
Bracey was a stud. This team could definitely use him.
Where is he by the way, always posts frequently after a win, but conspicuously absent after losses. He clearly knows very little about this team despite his desire to demonstrate his inside knowledge. Oh and Bates is WAY overrated.
Wow, you’re dumber than dirt, pal…
Agree just waiting for warmer weather and no snow. First time I have not played golf in December or January. We had great weather but it was always when I was working.
What scares me is all the standing around on offense. I can guard a guy standing in a corner.
It appears the suspensions did not much to get this team hungry. I guess it's just the typical iu late year fade.
