Izzo and Ryan are the best coaches in the Big Ten.

It's all noise after that.

WTF is this shit?? They are getting their asses kicked early!

They look terribly soft as a team tonight.

Just turned it on, what the hell is going on?

Lucky to only be down by 12.

If they can limit the turnovers and make a couple shots they will get back into this thing

yeah playing with a lot more energy.

And Syracuse has a history of jumping out early and falling apart in 2nd half. See Louisville game

Officiating has been horrible.

How many times has IU went to the basket and got hammered with no call? Then they let the Cuse guy clearly walk on his basket and no call...

Ugh

Interesting interpretation of inside contact by the refs tonight. Sheehey miraculously got a call.

Zeller has gotten one foul. Holy hell. Doesn't help he's soft but fuck he's getting hacked

He got a call!!!

Too many turnovers...

Zeller is a fucking pussy. Glad I didn't invest alot of time in this team. This is a disgrace.

What's the recruiting class look like?

Zeller is definitely soft, VERY soft. But he is still getting hammered. Watford got hammered a couple times. Sheehey got hammered.

But officiating did not lose this game. They played absolutely terrible.

Disappointing end to a season.

Time stop to being a whining bitch. Refs had zero impact. RFDC, you were right about the softness. What a failure of a season.

This was a waste. Such a shitty way to go out. Were never in the damn game.

A total embarrassment.

Very good actually. Crean's stocking the cupboard with athletes.

Yogi need to develop an offensive game. He's does absolutely nothing positive scoring wise.

Thanks for the info.

I'd agree with the first part, but there are a lot of other good coaches in there too. Hell, if Thibodeau had shut down Larkin the way Groce did, bernstein would be dedicating a show to him.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Zeller. Does he go to the NBA? I think his soft play this year will really hurt his draft stock. He needs to put on some weight and get stronger and show he can bang with the big boys.

I think Thad Motta has proven himself to be elite at more than one venue.

Indiana showed me all season that if they were behind in a game, trouble loomed.

They came back twice....In Ann Arbor when Michigan missed free throws.

Against Temple.

How many 1st halves did they sleep through all season long?

I have enjoyed watching Indiana play this year and have a real rooting interest going forward with the Fischer kid coming down there next year. With last nights game they were just incredibly soft, and almost had the look of fear in their eyes. I know some of you have griped about calls, but when you play that soft the refs tend to not blow their whistles. I look forward to watching them next year and they have quite the recruiting class coming in. I believe their best years are ahead of them and they had a really good year this year.

Hawg, you've said your friendly with the Fischer's. Does he have a mean streak to him to bang inside? Zeller doesn't quite have that...

I'm thankful for Zeller's skill and bringing IU back on the map but I don't want him to kick off a trend similar to U of I where they had a terrible streak of cream puff centers.

He has gotten better, but in a lot of ways they remind me of the same player. Luke has a better outside shot, but he is going to have to learn a little of the toughness. I think the biggest problem in high school is they don't play against guys their size, with their skill level. They always say it takes longer with big guys, and the more and more I see, I have to agree with that.

As a Marquette fan, it wasn't all that surprising to see Tan Tommy get outcoached again last night. IU will only move forward to Final Four's once Crean is gone.

Yesterday was hardly Crean's fault.

Disagree, to a point. Not puting Zeller on the baseline and Wattford in the middle was a mistake. Doesn't change the fact either that Crean was/is/will be a poor in game coach.

Were you even watching the game? One of the halftime adjustments was putting Watford in the middle and Zeller on the baseline vs. that zone. It didn't matter.
