That pretty much puts the nail in the coffin on a tourney bid.

In reply to Paul. Well, except in college ball, as random as it might look, the coach is generally calling a play. One such play is for Stan to take it to the hole (the other players clear out and get in rebounding position). I didn't see the game, so I am just wondering why Crean did not call Stan's number in the second half as it appeared Neb had no answer for him in the first half. Perhaps they were doubling Stan's drives in the second half??

Tim Miles figures out what his team was doing wrong at halftime. He corrects the problem. Nebraska narrows the lead to 6 points. He who likes to smack his hands together rapidly (I won’t use his nickname. I know it disturbs the Crean lovers on this forum) responds by (1) fielding a line up including Colin Hartmann, Hanner Perea, and Jeremy Hollowell and (2) running dementedly up and down the sideline with his hands moving through the air at supersonic speed. The outcome – predictable!

In reply to Paul. Gotta be in the game to create your own shot.

It’s a fair question and despicable of Crean. It’s a loss squarely on the shoulders of coach.

Play your best players. Play them until they can’t breathe or are in foul trouble. Stop rotating so many players. You have an All-American future lottery pick (maybe sooner than you think) that took 5 shots tonight against a Nebraska team with no real threat on the inside. #creansloss

In reply to BeatWisconsin. I would ask him - he's generally in the business of creating his own shots.

Stan was 4 for 5 with 10 points in first half. Why didn’t he get another shot until 2 minutes to go?????

In reply to Eastwood88_2. Sounds about right to me. I'm not a fan of it myself - leaves too many open opportunities, especially from outside.

Let’s play full court press and drive the lane and own the boards and and and make FT.

In reply to SCHoosier. Now, ole Slick here loves seeing the badgers lose as much as the next Hoosier, but every time they lose a little piece of IU loses too. Need for those wins to look good at the end of the year!

In reply to SCHoosier. Winning Tonight Is A Bonus To Winning Sunday.

In reply to Eastwood88_2. Sunday won't make much difference if IU loses tonight.

In reply to MillaRed. Either that, or sub in the cheerleaders. That was just a really bad game for IU. NW plays great defense, but IU isn't going to typically shoot 25% overall for an entire game against them. We'll find out for sure in Evanston...

In reply to Eastwood88_2. Yeah, but which team will have the issues - IU, or Nebraska?

Undersized 4. This may be the best chance for a return to prominence for Jeremy Hollowell.
I’d also like to see the press, but I wonder why no one does it the way Wooden used to with the forwards as the main guys. Sheehey and Williams seem physically like that’s what they’re bred to do.

In reply to Alford Bailey. I'd say the same about Miles but I don't think he's going anywhere (unless it's up to a bigger and better program,) any time soon. Seems like a good guy and a damn good coach.
