Idiosyncrocies Regional Rd 3 - 1 vs 9
« on: May 21, 2014, 11:58:57 AM »
One of potentially many Buzz vs Crean match-ups, this round of 32 match-up pits Crean's "logic" against Buzz's "player strategy".  I4 had a pretty easy cake walk against Hologram Al, but has a considerably tough match-up with Switchable, which was battle tested by Crean's propensity to hang banners.  I4 has to be the favorite but it should be a good match-up.

It's Indiana, It's Indiana (I4)
Former HC Tom Crean left Marquette for Indiana on April 1st 2008 under less than chivalrous circumstances.  In his first interview afterwards, Crean was asked why the move, the response, "It's Indiana, it's Indiana."  And a meme was born.  I4 is the short form and is sometimes used as shorthand for Tom Crean

Switchable
Another Buzzism as a meme.  This meme referred to Buzz William's preference for a PG, a center, and 3 switchable players…essentially interchangeable athletes.  Every recruit in the late Buzz era was compared against the switchable stick

"A Plan? Oh man, I hate plans. That means were gonna have to do stuff. Can't we just have a strategy......or a mission statement."
