WilliamTell Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Watching that Kansas and West Virginia game, the refs really let Kansas have their way in the 2nd half and overtime. Kind of go ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ego is too big to get fired. He's got 3+ million a year coming to him, with a 7-12 million dollar buyout (depending on when they do it). There's no chance he simply walks away from that guaranteed money. I thoroughly enjoy Indiana basketball right now. They're some of the worse fans, from an entitlement stand point, and all I heard about the last couple of years is how they're "back," how they'll be cleaning up on the recruiting trail, competing for national titles every few seasons, etc. And now the doom and gloom.

Beilien likes having Spike take the ball out when a 6'9 guy is guarding the in bounds and refused to foul up 3 with 10 secs left...twice. Guys missed FTs as well.

cabiness42 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Joe Lunardi's Bracketology update just released: Iowa up to a #7 seed Ohio State down to a #8 seed IU/Purdue both still #11 seeds, but IU now in play-in round and Purdue out of it.

I find it incredibly hard to believe that an 11-12 win, 4th place big ten team (Purdue) won't make the tourney. I understand they have some bad losses and no signature win, but they're a solid team. Unfortunately I think it'll come down to Illinois and Purdue for that last spot. So Saturday is huge and I just don't see how Illinois can pull it off. It'd be great if Illinois could finish 2-0 and MSU can beat Indiana so they can grab the 7 seed in the tourney. Get the hell away from Wisconsin's side of the bracket. But I'm not holding my breath.

caulfield12 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 4, 2015 -> 08:10 AM) It looked like they would collapse like last season a couple weeks ago, but Aaron White didn't let that happen. Winning at Psu in overtime when they were down 23-11 or 12 early in the first half was huge. Hoping they can push ahead to 6 seed and very outside chance of a four or five if they could win or reach the conf tourney final. Iowa would have lost that game due to "lack of mental toughness" the last two seasons. White is really asserting himself in his senior stretch drive with Jared and Jok struggling at times for consistency. McCaffreys also getting some key contributions from Olaseni and Oglesby.

We're talking about Crean here... He's very ego-centered, nothing would surprise me with him. One thing rarely mentioned is that the buyout is only in full if he does not take another D1 job (which he will). One that has become clear, IU will have another coach come next season. And the money for the buyout, nor the next coach, will be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone next year, but by no means would I call it certain or even probable. If we make the tourney, it's 80% he's back next year, if we don't it's 50%. While I wouldn't be sad to see him gone (We want to get back to being a national championship contender, and he's not the guy to do it), one negative is then I'd have to endlessly hear the pipe dream of getting Brad Stevens. That would be incredible, but I'm not going to sit around waiting for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's pretty great. Has there ever even been one of these that turned out to be accurate? I vaguely remember something about when Chizik left Iowa State for Auburn, but I can't remember if it was spectacularly right or spectacularly wrong.
