It's also worth noting that IU has shot pretty terrible from everywhere which hasn't helped, but they've committed so many dumb turnovers and just have no offensive movement.

JB Jr. will have a lot of responsibility for this one. He's turned it over at least 3 times when IU has had a chance to score a tie.

Edit: Watching IU's offense in this has been absolutely excruciating.

I'd love to hear the inside of IU's defensive huddle:
"Ok, we've got great ball movement around the perimeter, but what do we do if they pass to someone at the FT line?"

IU deserves to lose 100 times over.

They've had literally a dozen chances to tie or take the lead and missed every single one of them

Edit: Oh FFS down 1, Bryant misses the front end of the 1-1

I don't know exactly how the RPI works, but what RPI benefits come from losses to mid majors?

Tom Crean loses his job (like that ever happens lol), so that would be a boost to RPI if the rating was worth a damn

AHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA such a fitting end.

Run home Crean, or walk in traffic

Edit: Serious question, how many times does your team have to show up flat in games like this or games in the NCAAT in order to lose your job? He just cannot get anyone to play at anything beyond a 6 it's amazing

OG played like 8 mins and looked like he was puking on the bench, he is a top 10 pick who is a complete stud. Probably a different game if he's healthy. Probably not a need to panic, but still Blackmon got owned by Scott and should have been able to get better looks.

It probably affects them negatively about as much as beating a 300+ team at home. That's how dumb the RPI is

IU will be a top 3 seed come tourney time, they're young and coming off a huge win. Key for them will be to develop their offense as a unit and not expect Blackmon to just step in and be Yogi, he's not.

UNC looks great, I was pretty bearish on them comin into the year, but they look like they could make a run.

Not sure how anyone can be positive after watching IU play yesterday. Basically if the team plays any decent team and has to make adjustments they are ****ed. They couldn't make them, got flustered, and basically stood around on offense. LolCrean

Great job by the camera guys too showing all the various IU fans towards the end of the game. Easily 15 GIFS worth of material in those few minutes.

I'm sure they will manage to beat a decent team who makes adjustments at some point.

Wendell Carter (#4 overall player 2017) commits to Duke. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Kentucky and Duke are the only schools with multiple 5 star players coming in 2017 (thus far). The rich get richer.
