indiana loses to Wake Forest
Another overrated Crean team. Why were they ranked 13th to begin with?
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:18 PM ^
Does this really warrant a post THIS week??? IU isn't even a rival. Geesh.
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:30 PM ^
They are a rival in MBB.
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:31 PM ^
Is that off Wikipedia?
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:37 PM ^
hate Crean all you want, but Indiana is an historic BB program.
we are 53-98 against them all time.
indeed, they may be the ones laughing if we claim it's a rivalry (alas).
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:47 PM ^
57-105 in games actually played on the court.
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:05 PM ^
i hate how all the damn record books on the internets have been changed thanks to "vacated" wins...
so thanks!
that said, I am still amazed that we lose twice for every one we win against 'em.
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:39 PM ^
No they are not.
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:14 PM ^
Indiana is not a rival to us in basketball just like Michigan and Illiois is not a rivalry in football.
Just because one team is very historically good and we want to beat them doesn't make it a rivalry.
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:50 PM ^
My Hoosier Mother-in-law makes it a freakin' rivalry for me. They compete for the same players. And we rarely win in Assembly Hall. They dismiss us. Their rivals are Purdue and Kentucky so....
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:58 PM ^
It's a rivalry in my house.
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:20 PM ^
I consider them a rival in basketball. They're more of a rival than OSU in basketball. I don't care much for them but I rather have a win over Indiana than OSU

That is absurd. OSU is the top enemy in football amd basketball.
November 23rd, 2015 at 10:06 PM ^
Only in football, doesn't have the same feel for basketball. I hate Indiana basketball way more than I hate OSU basketball. There's more history between Michigan/Indiana basketball than there is for Michigan/OSU basketball

Lol what?
It's sparty. They're the top rival in MBB.
That's almost as absurd as saying osu is the top rival in hockey.
November 23rd, 2015 at 9:58 PM ^
You serious? I would much rather see a win vs OSU in basketball than IU. OSU is definitely a basketball rivalry.
November 23rd, 2015 at 10:07 PM ^
No, it's not. It's a rivalry in football but not in basketball. If you ask former Michigan basketball players whom I know a couple, they said they get up more for Indiana than they do for OSU.

Well, in the Fab 5 documentary Jalen did say "we HATE Ohio State" and that they called them the Fuckeyes.
Would think that's an indicator of there being some history of a rivalry in basketball.
November 23rd, 2015 at 10:43 PM ^
Order of basketball rivalry
1. MSU
2. Indiana
Distant 3rd is OSU
OSU was good when Fab 5 played but there's a much bigger and longer history between Michigan and Indiana

not the least of which is the fact that The Game hasn't been much of a rivalry over the last 15 years
November 23rd, 2015 at 10:04 PM ^
IU was always our biggest conference game before Izzo showed up
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:19 PM ^
Crean related to Harbaugh by marriage???
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:31 PM ^
I'll allow it.
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:37 PM ^
I wonder how Jack Harbaugh allowed???
November 23rd, 2015 at 9:08 PM ^
He had a vacant seat at the kid's table on Thanksgiving.
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:20 PM ^
Happy to see the Hoosiers go down. As far as rankings go, I don't put much stock into them in the beginning of the season. They work themselves out as the season progresses and then we really see how good or bad each team is.

They play in the big ten and were predicted to be the 2nd best team in the conference and just lost to a team picked to finish dead last in the ACC. Would you rather we have more hate week threads?
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:26 PM ^
I like your post, Thad Matta's Goblin. How long has Thad Matta owned you?
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:09 PM ^
article. Changes the meaning. No possession, the way I read it. Just declarative statement, and a true one at that.
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:15 PM ^
You're not wrong
November 24th, 2015 at 12:43 AM ^
you are missing the "a" there. and thad matta IS a goblin.

Deacs!

After getting embarrassed by Xavier at home, we have no room to talk.
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:52 PM ^
Xavier was a Sweet Sixteen team a year ago and is likely the same level team this year.
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:38 PM ^
Xavier fans don't like it when you pronounce it hav e air.
November 23rd, 2015 at 9:54 PM ^
If I ever meet an Xavier fan I will now know how to purposely mispronounce it

This is basketball these games are just a resume builder but nothing else. Conference play is where it all starts and should be a fun season
November 23rd, 2015 at 7:58 PM ^
every game matters...
November 23rd, 2015 at 11:49 PM ^
Not when your conference is garbage like the Big Ten is. Not too many quality wins in there.

IU couldn't guard my momma and her oldster friends.
November 23rd, 2015 at 8:14 PM ^
It was a layup drill for WF down the stretch. IU's guards couldn't stop me.
19-6 run by the Deacs to close it out.

This time of year this stuff will happen.

You cannot compare Wake Forest to Xavier. Xavier is waaayyyy better. So, your argument is invalid.

Cept Xavier actually is a good team that made the sweet 16. Wake Forest is the Rutgers of ACC basketball.
November 24th, 2015 at 12:12 AM ^
Yeah but we lost at home not on a neutral floor in Maui. Weird things always happen at that tournament.

it's clear proof WE RUINED THEIR PROGRAM

Had to turn it off, it was just odd seeing Max Beilfeldt playing for Indiana.

I could use a good Tom Crean gif right about now.
November 23rd, 2015 at 9:25 PM ^
Don't understand why they didn't bring back Max, and then for him to go Indiana is even worse. I know we have depth, but Max gave us some solid minutes.
November 23rd, 2015 at 10:08 PM ^
Because he'll block minutes from DJ and Mo. They need minutes so they can get better down the road. Max is what he is, an avg player
