Early indications are that Crean still hasn't figured out a zone.

I'd be perfectly fine if this game has 30 overtimes.

Obviously, I can't stand Crean so I'm biased. But why in the hell would he have John Harbaugh talk to the kids before this Sweet 16 game? Doesn't it reek of letting the kids know unnecessarily that its a "big game?" I'm not a fan of having guys speak to teams before games anyway...practice, yes...but this seems odd. And Rachel Nichols went on to report it was about the importance of momentum. Obviously, Syracuse came right out and seized momentum.

"Hey guys...guess who's here? My brother in law!"

It's going to sound like a broken record coming from me, but I just don't think Crean has it in him to be a great coach. He can build a program and do things that seem right (and oftentimes odd) but at the end of the day, if there no book telling him when to have guest speakers, or when it's appropriate to cut down a net, etc., he's not going to get it rit. He's just off.

Yes, but I would have enjoyed it *much* more on Saturday.

We already beat Cuse this year. I want IU and to knock off the #1 seed in the region.

I screwed up. I got it wrong on I4 this year.

Had them getting bounced in the field of 32. They made it to the Sweet 16. D*mn it. Should have known better.

(PS-actually there's a ton of time and they can shoot the ball well sometimes... but most of their guys can't against good teams, so... we'll see. Need them out tonight though.)

warriorfred · « **Reply #10 on:** March 28, 2013, 09:38:26 PM »

I recently interviewed a graduate of IU, he was convinced Tom Crean was an awesome in-game coach. I tried to reason with him. Ah, youth.

I was really impressed when they showed the FGCU pregame speech last weekend. The coach let one of his players speak to the team and assume the leadership role. Found it really refreshing.

i don't believe he'll ever have a talent advantage to the same degree that he does this year. you have to give him credit for getting the talent, but i think you're right about the rest. he's not close to being an izzo, williams, coach k, etc. type coach, and ultimately indiana will require that. i don't see him getting kentucky type talent on a yearly basis either. he better do something this year.

You nailed it ... and I knew it after year 2 at IU.

D Wade made this man a lot of money. Syracuse is playing like poo.... and STILL WINNING BY double digits.

IU was just not prepared for this zone....

RIGHT ON..... Crean NEEDS this game BAD. If IU loses go the IU boards... and you will see an EPIC meltdown. THIS team is loaded. and Crean can't get it out of them.

Vic is gone. If Zeller leaves?..... IU will be a sub .500 team next season. and then the heat will really be on.

And I can't wait... I want him gone. Sick of his tanned, shaved eyebrow, Tom Arnold looking, goofy part in the middle hair doo arse........

I believe Cuse wins.

That said, Orangemen had a 13 point lead in the Garden two weeks ago against Ville looking as comfortable as a cat sleeping on a human's face in bed. And blew it. The difference? One has Pitino. One has Crean.

warriorfred · « **Reply #32 on:** March 28, 2013, 10:10:54 PM »

I go back to NCAA Tournament loss to Stanford. Crean was coaching against their assistant coach and lost. After that, I was happy he left. He is a good coach and a decent recruiter, but not a great coach. When I tell this to an IU or other B1G fans, they give me a blank look, and then say, "but you're upset he left."

MerrittsMustache · « **Reply #33 on:** March 28, 2013, 10:22:55 PM »

Could your high school coach recruit top tier talent and manage a basketball program that is essentially a multi-million dollar corporation? There's a lot more to college coaching than being a good x's and o's guy.

If they lose, I'd like to see him have his players cut down the nets to go in the Sweet 16 trophy case, which sits next to the five cases holding national championship trophies.

I'm right here Keefe. Marquette won, couldn't be happier. As I've said 1000's of times here, MU #1, IU is #2, KU #3. Nothing has changed.

If someone told me before the game only one of your alma maters will win, who do you want...it's MU.

Now, if you want, I'll give you my address you can come by personally...no need to hide your love obsession with me. I'll just give you the address.
