    I agree with the point that Crean is substituting too much. While I think he needs the bench, I don't think he has to make wholesale substitutions. There probably should be 3 starters on the floor at least with many times 4. But again, I don't think Crean's going to ever win a chess match on the court.

    He's a great recruiter and he inspires his players and gets them to buy into the system. With the horses I think he can win playing the way he wants them to play...and win it all... whether he can ever get that many horses I don't know...
    Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

        Crean is the problem.

                    I chose not to watch the last 30 seconds, good move on my part I think.

                                    No kidding... Almost let them have an open layup to win. Defense recovered just enough to increase degree of difficulty. And then how that putback didn't go in I'll never know.

                                    Watford did a great job of saving the ball to Zeller. I hope that ball would've been going to Michigan had he not done that because that would've made it a smart play and an important play. I'm not sure who it was off of actually... But nice hustle for Watford.

                                    Watford is an enigma. He's a very good FT shooter so that generally indicates he puts some time in and obviously cares about basketball... yet there are times you wonder if he really cares there is a game going on. Then he makes a nice hustle play. If the switch could ever get flipped he's got the physical tools to carve out an NBA career. ..It just doesn't seem to be in his DNA.

                                    Nice win for the Hoosiers.

                                        I turned it off at 70-66. Saw it was 71-70, turned it back on just in time for Zeller giving IU the lead.


                                        I about flat-lined on Burke's miss and the missed putback. You couldn't have scripted a better ending. Incredible finish.

                                                        Some good play, some luck, and a lot of heart result in a B1G championship. I'll take it. If I'm a Michigan fan I'm stuck between we choked and how did that last put-back tip not go down.

                                                        As it turned out in the 2nd half, Sheehey (after his streak of poor play) and Hollowell played big off the bench. It won't happen, but at this point I'd be fine with seeing Holowell and Watford splitting minutes about 50/50 unless and until Wat get's back to something resembling good play. Otherwise, might as well let Jeremy start building for a bigger role next season. Plus, he more consistently fights inside than Wat.

                                                        Personally, I disagree that Watford has the physical tools to be a legit pro prospect, unless we're talking international ball or D-league. He's both slow of foot and a very poor leaper. Yes, he can shoot it for 6-8ish, but that's all you get.
                                                        I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
