**** move.Sparty getting cute with the clock again, they've been doing this for decades.
Why does Crean get so angry at things that will obviously be reviewed?To give the illusion of "coaching"/mybestguessSparty getting cute with the clock again, they've been doing this for decades.Why does Crean get so angry at things that will obviously be reviewed?
He is smart, period! Dude is graduating a year early.Oladipo is not only damn good, he is a smart player
Kind of looked like Zeller may have pulled Nix's hand into him, trying to buy the call.Shot to the balls.
Thought Appling laid an egg in this one. Missed FTs, missed FGs, and not his best night on defense. Needed that win. Hopefully they can pull out the next few...Too much Oladipo and not enough made free throws. Congrats IU. Hell of a game tonight.![]()
To be fair, quite a few of his shots were while he was being fouled in the act of shooting, and they just wouldn't drop. But then, you have to hit the FT's , and tonight he didn't. Very off game for him. I do have to say Adrien Payne is going to be a monster if he sticks around. He's improved immensely since last year.Another fun time at the Bres tonight. Was as loud as it was at the Michigan game. Crazy. Great to see Magic back home. Glad I didn't have to endure Vitale on the TV. oooffThought Appling laid an egg in this one.

Most of what espn does pisses me off. Magic sitting in on this game was just stupid.Why does ESPN have a huuuuuuuuge MSU homer/alum calling this game? He's said "we" about 35 times now.
As disappointed as I would have been if IU lost, this was just a great game to watch.And one good thing about having Magic there was he took up some of Dickie V's airtime.Too much Oladipo and not enough made free throws. Congrats IU. Hell of a game tonight.![]()
They certainly looked equally ####ty to me tonight.Those refs...
LOLSpartans choked this away big time.Missed free throws by both Appling and Harris at critical times. Unbelievably bad performance from Appling and Dawson. Harris played good until he choked the game away.Oladipo good, Zeller still overrated.

You're preaching to the choir. B1G refs are not consistent.Weight back on heels, palms extended backward...http://i.imgur.com/V4L5WMf.jpg?3They certainly looked equally ####ty to me tonight.Those refs...
7 of 16 5 rebounds and getting blocked by a freshman doesn't impress me. Neither did his first game where he scored what 7 or 9 vs MSU. He is a good college player but no way he is a top 5 pick. He kind of plays like a scrawny Hansbrough. Hansbrough was the master of wildly flailing his arms to draw a foul.Plus anyone that is going to elbow a dude in the nuts, then act like he gets hit in the nuts and immediately look at the ref, is a whiny b.Zeller still overrated.![]()

How about all that time Payne and Nix spent on the bench both games because they kept fouling him?7 of 16 5 rebounds and getting blocked by a freshman doesn't impress me. Neither did his first game where he scored what 7 or 9 vs MSU.Zeller still overrated.![]()
This is a bad example, but there are a lot of fans in this thread that I really respect. I think that Michigan State and Indiana epitomize a lot of the decade old values that still ring true in Big Ten basketball. That game tonight was a battle. I'm obviously thrilled Indiana won, but it was a Final Four atmosphere. It was everything that is great about the Big Ten.There are some fantastic players in the conference, and Cody Zeller, Gary Harris, Victor Oladipo, Keith Appling, Christian Watford, and Adreian Payne are all part of that conversation; but anyone who doesn't want Cody Zeller on their team is a ####### idiot.7 of 16 5 rebounds and getting blocked by a freshman doesn't impress me.

Wisconsin? Oh wait...Indiana beat the crowd, they beat Ted Valentine, and they beat MSU.Who's next?

I believe payne had one foul vs him on a fast break from behind? Who looked like a better NBA player yesterday Payne, or Zeller?'Garrett said:How about all that time Payne and Nix spent on the bench both games because they kept fouling him?'swirvenirvin said:7 of 16 5 rebounds and getting blocked by a freshman doesn't impress me.

Which guy was your homeboy Magic gushing about last night on more than one occasion?Who looked like a better NBA player yesterday Payne, or Zeller?
Was wondering this myself. Him screaming at the score table looked plain ridiculous. Settle down doosh.'sporthenry said:Why does Crean get so angry at things that will obviously be reviewed?
In the heat of the moment. Give him a pass. Also, he probably doesn't want to take anything for granted knowing that B1G referees are on the job.Was wondering this myself.

'jon_mx said:Oladipo is a highlight reel every night
Great game last night. I truly thought Sparty would find a way to pull it out. Hats off to IU, as that was a darn physical game, and they never seemed to lose their composure. They shoot the ball extremely well as a team, they play solid team defense, and they have more than one player that can take over a game at any time No real weaknesses. If they play well, they should not get beat. The rest of the Big 10 is likely fighting for 2nd in the regular season now.IU @ UM to close out the regular season should be phenomenal.'jon_mx said:Oladipo is a highlight reel every nightGreat game last night.
