And full recovery can take as long as several days.

Wow, guess that renovation is happening just in time. You know, the old fieldhouse is still sitting there attached to the HPER…

Lets hope they pump up three’s and aren’t hitting them. That’s been their undoing in a couple of games this year. Tough match-ups for us on defense and they have ten big fouls to give in the post. Not sure who takes Marble and/or White. TC might go zone just hoping Hawks have a bad shooting night. Problem is Marble can go lights off on you at any time..then others he plays like his light is off):

Da dah, dah, dah, dah, DAAAAAAAAAH! I-U!!!

Gave me goosebumps. Go Hoosiers!

If you’re going to turn the ball over 18 times, it’s probably better to have 60 possessions than 40! I’m torn on the slow down though – Crean’s offense performs much better when it’s high tempo (and, more importantly, high scoring). If we score more than 70 points, our winning percentage is right around 70% this season. If we score less than 60, we’re 1 for 6. I prefer to play the odds and say we go for the shootout.

Anyone who honestly thinks what you are posting on this site could hurt the program needs a reality check. If anything, I am just trying to let you know that you do not need to preface your thoughts with the aforementioned comments; the level-headed posters/readers know what is up. People assume I am a Crean detractor since I am critical of him, but that is not the case, and if anyone wants to assume I do not like him based on my criticisms, that is their own problem. Reading critically is a skill I assume too many people have, which is sad when I realize I am wrong in that regard. Keep on keeping on and lets get back to basketball!

No need to apologize. Once again, I must admit that I may, indeed, be the one that needs to lighten up. We are, of course, all in this together.

If in any way I contributed to making it sound like I thought you are a “hater”, I apologize. Tempers were running high last week, and I think in the end it just shows how passionate we all are about our program.

Kind of sums up the last few weeks, huh?

I vote we make shots tonight, especially layups. I don’t think we have a chance if we don’t shoot close to 45-50 percent tonight.

You are correct. I’m too defensive. That’s my bad. But I do not want to be perceived as being unreasonably negative or to have it said that my opinions in any way “hurt the program.”

I feel like over half your posts recently have you mentioning other people labeling you a “downer” and a “hater”. While them doing that may be true, there comes a point when you should just accept it and stop making mention of same. Frequent posters/readers know what the deal is and that you bring more than just rhetoric to the conversation.

Your skepticism on Crean is totally warranted, so even if you are wrong, no one is going to call you an idiot. Hopefully, we will get to this point because that would mean that the program is back on track!
