Good to know time hasn't diminished the Crean obsession for many.

So do you think a lot of the Niners fans hate Alex Smith?

Only if he's a complete a-hole.

I4 wears his tie extra long to cover up for him pissing his pants all the damn time.

Good game by the Badgers.

Crean is a talented speed walker.

Crean is a talented speed walker.

Yeah.  It seemed so unlike him to speed past Bo Ryan after the game.  He usually is more aware of the camera.  I swear he crossed the screen in a 1/4 of a second. 
He must of had to pee...

Jag Wad is now 3-13 against Bo Ryan.

Chicos favorite excoach now that Kevin &*%# O'Neil has been canned got his lucnch handed to him last night by a beer league team none of whom could start for Indiana.  What a poor coaching job.  Now Chicos if you had been in the film room it would have been different.

I'm not a fan of trolls on this board, but creating a thread to troll a completely non-MU related subject is just pointless.

Wow.   The dutchman returns.    That is a voice from the past.

Pretty weak showin' for the highest scorin' team in the country.

Woke up this morning feeling great knowing we beat the #2 team in the nation last night. UWGB must be feeling like the best team in the nation now, too.

Contrasting styles made for an interesting game last night. I thought that UW needed to shoot lights out to stay with the much more talented Hoosiers in Bloomington but they won despite only an average shooting night. Bo boys controlled tempo, played off of Farrell (not a good 3 point shooter yet), got up on Hulls (took away the 3, forced him to penetrate where he made several bad decisions) and were physical with Oladipo, Watford and (in the 2nd half at least) Zeller).

Random observations:
1.Great game plan by Bo. He did "take the air out of the ball" a little early though. It let IU back in the game and,but for a lucky buzzer beater by Evans, could have cost Bucky the game. And why a 30% free throw shooter is in the game on offense in the last 1:30 is beyond me.
2.Indiana (correctly but mostly ineffectively) tried to push tempo with defense. On offense, though, they either rushed or just let their guards dribble deep into the shot clock (especially in the 2nd half).
3.IU had 3 chances to foul one of worst free throw shooters in the country with the Badgers in the 1 and 1 late and each time fouled somebody else. Bad on Bo for having him out there, worse on TC and co. For not finding him - totally, incredibly inexcusable.
4.Bo is now 15-3 vs TC. Safe to say he has his number - when Bo has the talent edge, he wins. When he doesn't, he still wins more often than not.

Bo had his bigs attacking the basket off of the dribble last night.   I don't remember that being part of the swing, but it was certainly effective.   Hulls looked terrible shooting off of the dribble.    Zeller was completely dominating early, then Crean just erased him from the offense.    IU's base offense was the same 3 man weave with somebody finally deciding to attack the basket or create when they got tire of passing it around out front.    IU must feed Zeller.   Just sad.    Crean still doesn't have a plan-b when plan-a isn't working.   I still see a lot of clapping and exhorting his team when things are going poorly.
