Most important game in the history of IUBB

[PhishPhan682]

during the CTC era.

CTC wins this game he gets an extensions.

CTC loses this game he keeps his job next year but must really succeed to keep off the hot seat.

 

[SuperHoosier]

BURTON!!!

 

[PhishPhan682]

I got 6 texts when Burton was put in the game.


Long live Marlin! He is/was 5 x the player Burton is.

 

[MtPeter04]

I still can't figure out why he put him in...

 

[PhishPhan682]

for the record I'm cheering for IU.

I'm jaded but I'm still cheering for iU.




























fack Crean

 

[dahldc]

Tom Crean can choke on Bobby Knight's dick. **** him. I hope he ****ing dies. Roy Williams and the rest of that piece of shit institution too.

 

[PhishPhan682]

the hope is still alive

 

[PhishPhan682]

I'm the refs had it out for IU tonight. It wasn't the fact that Crean has made it past the sweet 16 only one time in his entire career as a head coach.

I mean I'm sure the world had it for ol Tommy basketball.

A 31% 3 pt shooting team going 10/12 dug a bigger hole than the refs did.

losers mentality

the refs! they shot so well tonight!

fack off man.

IU got spanked.

 

[crimsonlaw]

New year, different players, same form of basketball.

 

[Hank Reardon]

On the bright side, that conference title gets us at least two more years of crean. Outstanding.

Where can I get my sweet 16 shirt? Will there be rings?

We finished right where we should. no better .. no worse.

I don't know did your mom make them? Send me the link bad boy.

Not losers mentality.
I wasn't making excuses.
Simple fact is the better team won tonight.

 

[Hank Reardon]

I was told this was our Moment in the Sun year.

 

[crimsonlaw]

LOL. You're the Tom Crean of posters with that response.

 

[MoyeSwatsBoozer]

Next year might be the year that Tom Crean gets us to a single digit loss in the Sweet 16.

(Can we talk about his abysmal Sweet 16 fact sheet at IU or is that off limits?)

We won the conference by two games. That's the acceptable narrative.

 

[crimsonlaw]

We won the conference by two games. That's the acceptable narrative.

With an injured team and players having been kicked off the squad.

 

[MoyeSwatsBoozer]

We won the conference by two games. That's the acceptable narrative.

I get all of the accomplishments, etc. I also remember this team was near the Top 10 at the start of the season. They essentially accomplished what many thought they could do before the season started. I look forward to the day when we don't have Walk Ons playing in key moments in the NCAA Tournament. Fun season and plenty to build on. Lets see what happens.

 

[Moops]

This thread has everything.

Texting with coworker last 40 minutes of game. UNC fan.

He tells me our coach shouldn't be fired. 'Big 10 champions is a statement' he says.

He set me on a rant. Including me telling him that 2 of our 3 sweet 16 losses allowed 100 points.

I didn't think about them all being double digit losses to boot.

We even lost by double digits the year we were supposed to be handing out the ass whooping.

Keep going.fellas.

 

[crimsonlaw]

The name of the game is National Championships......I'd trade 20 Big Ten Titles for another National Title right now. At some point people will get sick of never going farther than the Sweet 16, but when?

I'd like to win both like UNC does. Like Duke does. Like Kansas does. Like UK does. But you're right. Big Ten sucked this year and we played a weaker unbalanced schedule. I'm happy we got the conference title. But we won't get farther than the sweet 16 with Crean. And that's not acceptable.

 

[cryano]

ignorant title and thread
In entire history, w 76 undefeated team, and 5 titles, and this is most important game in iubb history - for many other moments I think us losing as a 5 vs a 1 tonight is not our defining moment

You missed the "during the Crean era" that starts the message.

Crean is dog shit.

Crean knows how to lose by a lot in tourneys.

you are right.
I bet the last game vs. UK was more important still.

 

[crimsonlaw]

Until this one. If IU won tonight it would have out us into the elite 8 having beaten arguably the two best programs in history. It would have been very hard to be critical of Crean.

We lost Hanner, Devin, Blackmon and RJ at the end. UNC shoots shoots the lights out and it's Crean's fault.I know it's popular here to hate Crean but don't be a bandwagon hater. I don't like the guy personally but I think the players like him and that was one successful season. Steven's not coming ever ... you and C-$ need to get over your manlove of the dude. He is not the holy grail.

If you're giving a 1 seed filled with McDonald's All Americans wide open shots from the three point line, yeah, they're going to hit them at a high rate.

 

[Oxford Collapse]

I was told this was our Moment in the Sun year.

No, that's next year. If you're serious about this, you should know the formula:

"Tom Crean's moment in the sun" = x + 1

where x = this year ad infinitum.

 

[Hank Reardon]

No kidding. I've always maintained that Crean's greatest strength is winning just enough to make it impossible to fire him. Add to that the Next Year promise and he's here...probably as long as Glass is. Giving a guy like Crean just One More Year is a mistake, because the guy will invariably clear that hurdle with his nuts just barely grazing the barrier. That he trips over the next one never seems to matter.

We'll be having this same discussion in the Spring of 2018.

I said this in another thread this morning, but Tom Crean is a Hall of Fame check-getter. He has an unbelievable ability to sandbag and keep expectations low, while doing just enough to make important people think we may be on the right track. The guy keeps his name on big checks.

It's frankly pretty impressive. Someday, there's going to be a 30 for 30 about this called "Survive and Advance".

In year three I said he was all hat and no cattle. He is now, and always has been, a salesman.

LOL I've moved on from Stevens a while ago.

I'm reminded of an old parable: Better to keep your mouth shut, to maintain some doubt whether you know anything about basketball, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I say F that, keep posting!
