Florida's new coach is one to keep an eye on. Everything I've read says he's a rising star, though I've never seen his teams play.Watching Florida vs MSU.
Good game, tied in the second.
Yup ... basketball as a whole is down this season. There's no dominant teams this year.There is no #1 this year. If there ever was a year for a 16 seed to beat a 1, this is the year.

This is the first year I can recall actually enjoying the NBA more than college.Yup ... basketball as a whole is down this season. There's no dominant teams this year.
...setting the table for Crean to survive yet again. The dude is charmed.
Easy if your watching Golden State, San Antonio, Russel Westbrook, or Paul George.This is the first year I can recall actually enjoying the NBA more than college.
12-6 ??? Hahahahhaha...I could see it. We play what is arguably the most favorable conference schedule in Big Ten history. We could do 12-6 and win one game in the tourney. Fred will cite progress and give the Clapper another year.
12-6 ??? Hahahahhaha...
9-9 at best. With a 4 game losing streak to close out the B1G.
Weeeeeeeeee !!!!

Um... we lost to wake and UNLV on neutral courts and struggled with st jonhs.The Big Ten sucks this season, and we have an easy road on top of it. I could see 12-6, though more likely 11-7.
Bottom line is a top 4 finish guarantees that Crean will return. No way that jock sniffing Glass fires that clown.

It's still dependent upon preseason rankings, and we're clearly not as good as we were made out to be.
Other than MSU and Purdue, what B10 team does that statement not apply to? This is why I still think they go 11-7, and that's really without a shred of optimism they'll be playing satisfactory basketball.

A fourth place finish in Conference should guarantee the prompt removal of Tom as head coach. Bit we're talking about Indiana here so who knows.
But really, at this point, nothing should save him. It should be strikingly obvious to anyone paying attention that he is, at best, a marginal talent. And he's never going to have the kind of sustained success that our fans are going to demand. His roster management and coaching style will never allow it.
People keep talking about the outcome of this year's season as we expect big things. As we should. And he's already failed to deliver. But what happens next year when we're projected to finish 7th and end up like 9th...?
Because that's more likely to happen than not with this coach...on a year to year basis. Sure we might peak every fourth year or so where we finish 3rd or 4th because enough kids stayed past their sophomore year for us to have a semi experienced team. But really a cycle like that is what kills programs.
See Illinois. And Purdue.
That's what Tom Crean has turned Indiana into. One season at a time.
I only anger you because you know I'm an oracle bringing the truth. Don't fight it. Accept this gift it and be at peace...
Then you are far too invested in college basketball.God damn it.
I'm having a breakdown thinking of that clapping fvcktard on the sidelines next year.
I'm serious.
Then you are far too invested in college basketball.
Either way, I don't really see how he's going to be back next year. He's totally lost the fan base.
Competing for a conference title or a deep NCAA run (past the sweet 16) is the only thing that would save him imo.It's possible for Crean to save his job. But an okay finish isn't one of them.

But talk to me again after the Notre Dame game.
Exactly what I have predicted. People are going to spend the rest of this year and next year waiting for IU to make a change. It won't happen. Meanwhile, we will endure 1,000 new posts on why Brad Steven will leave the Celtics and want to come coach for IU.I could see it. We play what is arguably the most favorable conference schedule in Big Ten history. We could do 12-6 and win one game in the tourney. Fred will cite progress and give the Clapper another year.
Well, the Celtics are going to make the playoffs, and I think they could be as high as the 5th seed. The East is dreadful and his team has bought in. They play defense.Exactly what I have predicted.

Imagine how angry this board will be if we make the 2017 NCAA tournament and Brad Stevens takes the Celtics to the playoffs.

The pics of the light crowd on the preimie of last nights game are pretty telling.
Hope you're right. I took my 6 year old to the game. It was his first time on campus. We had a great time walking around campus but we only stayed for the first half of the game. The boy was toast and needed dinner so we took off after the trampoline act and went to Lennie's. It was a good choice. Solid IPAs and good calzones and pizza.My wife and I grabbed some dinner at Nick's Sat night and caught the first 10mins of the game. Left shortly afterwards because we were bored outta our minds. Hell, I thought we'd have to wait on a spot........empty tables everywhere upstairs.
He's absolutely lost the fan base.....this year is his last.....Fred can't afford it.

We stayed at the new Hyatt on Kirkwood across the street from Crazy Horse and th Irish Lion. I'd absolutely stay there again. Great location and a nice enough place. Getting back to Bloomington for a quick visit on a 70 degree day was great. Hopefully there will be a better basketball coach soon to make it even more worth while.
Fred doesn't care about the $100 donors sitting in the balcony.Then you are far too invested in college basketball.

I really need to get back with my wife and friends sans kids. I would have loved to have hit up The Tap, which wasn't there the last time I was in Bloomington a couple years ago. I'd love to get back to Crazy Horse and Irish Lion, where I briefly worked, as well. The development in downtown Bloomington over the last few years is kind of amazing.Lennie's is a great place....haven't been there seen grad school. Love their chocolate stout.
You're right....couldn't of asked for a better day. Wife and I hit up Darn Good Soup on the square. I suggest the chicken tortilla soup....fantastic. The wife had the lentil and spinach.....she loved it. Wanted to try out The Tap on the corner....sat outside and we shared a couple flights. Try the Nefarious Nectar and the Bluebeard. Headed over to Oliver Winery and did what you're supposed to do there....then went to Nick's.
Great day!!.....other than watching the 10 mins of clown style basketball against high school competition.
Still hoping for the L.
should say shoot*
ND doesn't really play defense either...should be a track meet.So obviously it's not McNeese St, but what about ND? Haven't seen them play this year, but really like their PG from last year, is he playing well? They've beaten IL and IA, but lost a close one to Monmouth. I'm guessing they'll take us down. Anyone want to give a review of ND and predictions? Sorry for the bball post, but bball talk here is much better than the free bball forum.
