Great big gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts. How about a nice, cool drink, varmints? Scum! Slime! Menace to the golfing industry! You’re a disgrace. You’re varmints. You’re one of the lowest members of the food chain and you’ll probably be replaced by the rat. Well, I have been pushed. It’s about time somebody teaches these varmints a little lesson about morality and about what it’s like to be a decent, upstanding member of a society! Come to Carl, varmint. — I guess we’re playing for keeps now. I guess the kidding around is pretty much over. I guess it’s just a matter of pumping about five thousand gallons of water down there to teach you a little bit of a lesson. Is that it? I think it is!

This sux
Not happy about this loss. There was at least some gumption in coming back, but you’ve got to execute in Big Ten play.
Ok. Already over it.
Losses suck. No excuses for them. But IU’s still what, 15 – 2 on the season? I’m pissed, but there have been heartbreaking losses before; past Hoosier teams have survived. What’s important is that IU learns from what they did wrong: They didn’t defend with enough effort, they didn’t box out, they didn’t put enough effort into just chasing the damn ball down. They know they can be beat. And now their job is to learn from the loss. They let Minnesota beat them inside, which has got to be a blow with Zeller there. They let Minnesota outshoot them from beyond the arc, which has got to be a blow with Sheehey back and Oladipo playing great.
But it’s on them. What they did to lose this game, they can stop. It’s all on them putting in the work.
So ultimately, what’s important is that the team builds from this. They don’t have to be vulnerable. They don’t have to give up post play or rebounds. They don’t have to let the opponent out hustle them to the ball. And if Crean is worth his salt – and I think he is – he’ll make the team realize that.
I don’t even care if Minnesota sweeps IU for the regular season. I only care that IU learns enough to advance beyond them in the Big 10 and make real noise in the NCAA’s. They do that, I’ll stop caring about tonight. Tonight’s over. It’s what they do from here on out that counts.

LOL.
But yeah, I’m also worried about their D. Thing is, that’s where good coaches separate themselves from run of the mill ones. I’d hope that Crean’s walking out thinking “Man, there’s a lot of stuff we gotta work on”, and then later makes the team work on them.
I’m concerned, but the challenge is there, whether we like it or not. It’s on the team to overcome.

I have been expecting a three or four game slump followed by a bounce back.
I see 3-2 over the next five and the real key to how good the season will be is the two game road swing to Mich and PU. I hope IU can get at least the split there.

But that's what is most troubling, Indiana let Minnesota do whatever they want,
and by far, the ones most responsible for it were our veteran players. Jones. Watford. Hulls was non-existent. Elston was non-existent. And what’s worse, this is the latest in a trend. I’m beginning to think that we peaked too soon, and teams have figured out how to solve Cody. What a peak it was! But if we don’t figure this out soon, we’ll play our way right back out of tourney contention. Teams that play like we did tonight don’t play in March.

Yes, that is indeed troubling.
But either the team views these problems as solvable and works on them, or they realize they’ve peaked and just run to stand still while everyone else improves. As a fan, I’ve got no choice but to hope, because to do otherwise is to condemn the team to staying static and playing their way to a disappointing record.
These kids are still growing, still developing their skills. You can’t conclude that a bunch of 19 & 20 year olds have stopped developing both physically and (more importantly) mentally on the basis of this loss, or even troubling characteristics and tendencies causing this loss. I realize that it’s possible for them to have peaked early, but while they’re in the middle of the season, there’s no reason to actually believe that it’s happened yet. It’s all on those kids to practice and work their way out of this funk. They’ll see on video what they have to work on, so they need to work on those things. If they don’t, well… we overrated them. But that’s not determined unless they actually fail to improve.
There’s no reason to put a cap on their season yet. There’s only things to improve. If they look at things that way, they’ll realize they can overcome this and get better. And until I see a failure to improve, I’m not going to be cynical about things. Five games into the Big Ten season is not enough time to have determined that.

I certainly hope they do improve.
But barring miraculous practices, I don’t think we have an answer in the low post other than meteoric Cody development over the coming weeks, or Watford transitioning to the paint full-time. Barring those miracles or a new defensive scheme, every Big Ten team now has the perfect blueprint for beating us: drive the lane and hit threes.
I truly hope we find an answer, but it will be a very tall order indeed.

Oh, it won't be easy. That's for sure.
But again, those kids don’t play Division I basketball in a major conference for “easy”. All I can do is hope they rise to the challenge. So far, they have done better than expected, so it’s not like it’s a faint hope. Just a difficult task.

Did not see the game and am wondering...
…with the bad three-point shooting why Roth did not see more playing time? Is his D that bad?
by bangkokhoosier on Jan 12, 2012 10:40 PM EST reply actions
god damned embarrassing
of all the basketball games I have watched this year that has got to be the worst. Both teams were atrocious, the decision making was embarrassing and the amount of shooting oneself in the foot was near comical. Seriously having my first doubts about this team now. Poor shooting doesn’t excuse this loss.

Oh well. I still love this team. Horrible, horrible loss. But if somehow we rebound against OSU (admittedly a longshot) we’ll keep our rank. Ulgh. Just a bad night all around. At least tomorrow is Friday. That makes it ok, right? No? Fuck.

Yeah. I choose to be optimistic.
As an illustration: If there are any archives from Phil B’s blog in 2006, anyone and everyone could see that I wrote that year off by midseason. With that defense, I was afraid the Colts were one-and-done in the playoffs at best. But we all now know what happened. And I learned a lesson about execution vs. characteristics. Indy’s characteristics indicated playoff problems, but they executed above themselves.
Granted, those were pros in a completely different sport. But there’s enough similarity in the situation to make me choose to be optimistic. What IU has been doing bad lately is correctable. Whether they correct it or not depends on whether the players listen to Crean or not. If they do, and if they tighten their defense and start going after the ball better, they’ll improve. But if they keep going away from Zeller, keep being passive on defense, and keep letting opponents dictate and control, they’ll lose. Like I said above, it’s a tall order, but the positive is that it’s all on them. Some good, hard work, and they’ve got a real chance to improve. They just have to do it. Huge task, sure, and not easy at all. But doable.

Indeed.
I’ve felt all along that we aren’t deep enough at the 4 and 5 to be a championship team, but once we started being lethal from behind the arc I started to feel that 2001-2002 season magic. Then tonight it all came crashing down. It IS just one game, however. Plenty of regular season left. Then even after the reg season we have a chance to make our mark. Tonight was just frustrating is all. All my fears saw the light of day. I vote we start being awesome again starting Sunday. Let’s be giant killers once more.
