To be honest, their poor play began the day the NCAA released its findings, but I refuse to see how that could and should affect their play. They are in the here and the now and penalties are forthcoming. They have been thrust into a group of elite teams and like Duke, Kansas, Indiana and others, there's a big target on their backs. Verbally, they are saying they welcome the status & challenge, but I wonder if it has worn on them mentally and physically.

Alright, The U returned to form against Clemson. Hopefully, they'll they'll continue their winning ways deep into the upcoming tournament.

I've got to go and run an errand, but I will be sure to tune in to the game when I return. Good luck tonight...

Wow... Baylor is taking it to Kansas... Kansas down 15 under 9 minutes to go...

unreal. we literally got our asses handed to us. very disturbing to see right before the BIG12 Tourney/NCAA Tourney. congrats to Baylor, they wanted/needed it more than KU

in all honesty i feel like we are still trying to identify ourselves and this is the wrong time of the year to happen. oh well, it was a good thought i guess. i have no hope for going deep into the tourney. at least we have some really good recruits coming in for next season

I don't know, Blink. KU played as if they just wanted the game to end so that they can get prepared for the upcoming tournament. I'm not taking anything away from Baylor because they came in with the intent on playing the role of spoiler and they accomplished their mission.

That’s sort of how Indiana's season is wrapping up. Like Kansas, Indiana can win the Big Ten outright with a win tomorrow at Michigan. Lose and they share the title - possibly 4 ways. Their last several games have left me wondering what they heck is going on. The talking heads still tout them as a NCAA #1 seed, but IMO, they have to do a lot to make that happen. Here's hoping that they play up to their potential...

This NCAA season has certainly been quite interesting, so far.

 

[Fausty82]

Yeah, Baby... The Indiana Hoosiers are your outright 2013 Big Ten Conference regular season champs... and IMO, they locked up a #1 NCAA tourney seed today...

The new Top 25 rankings are out...

Crean should be celebrating what his team did, and not acting like his brother-in-law.

Oh well, what do you expect from a hoosier? Maybe he should have thrown a chair for good measure!

He simply responded to the low-class comments made by a former IU assistant coach (worked under Sampson, who destroyed the Indiana basketball program) who is now an assistant for Michigan ... and Crean later said that he should have kept his mouth shut.

But thanks for trying to stir the pot.

If you have a link to those supposed comments, by all means post it.

Stir the pot? Seriously? In a college BBall thread? Please don't even go there. If you can't take someone calling out your coach, I wouldn't call out others..oh wait, you already did in this thread.

Everybody's beating Kentucky in basketball these days... #loveIt

(For the record, Kentucky is the most despised going all the way back to the racist Adolph Rupp and continuing through the hapless Joe B Hall, the cheating Eddie Sutton, the clueless Billy Gilliispie and up to the present-day slime-ball, Slick Calipari.)

For what it's worth, as much as I despise Indiana, I've actually been impressed with Crean. What really blew me away was last year, after his team had been thrashed by the eventual National Champs (cough) he got on national tv with grace and diginity and talked about how he told his guys in the locker room that character was more important than winning games. That in 10 years, no one would really remember who had just won, but that what was important was what would they be doing with their lives in 10 years.

But it's a college basketball thread. If you can't handle someone razzing your team/coach......
