It's 2019, I am sure every player knows what was said. I am sure every player knows his dad's thoughts are likely Justin's thoughts. And that's a very divisive thing. Elephant in the room, you're absolutely correct. It's been all downhill since that tweet, and the facial expressions say it all. These guys simply don't like playing together.

IUwins0708 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I never have seen that tweet. Can someone elaborate?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Somebody on here had copied but the just of it was Justin Smith's dad said some players weren't allowed to shoot indicating his son and said the pack line was a bad defense. Hopefully someone will copy the tweets on here for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team looks like it has flat out shut down. They look like they are going through the motions. This is something I’ve seen with high school teams multiple times so I know what that looks like. I know the rumor was that Green failed a drug test but is that all that has happened or was that a cover story for something else or is there other stuff going on? I’m also inclined to think that this is more than just Crean players mad about the way CAM coaches. If there isn’t more to what is going on then it is time to say that CAM is in over his head and that Fred made a mistake and needs to cut bait. I’m not to that point yet though because I do know building a program takes time. So if someone that does have insight into the inner workings of the program could shed some light on this that would be great. They quit weeks ago, it was clear in the Nebraska game. No fight, zero heart, and a severe lacking of mental toughness that has hindered the IU basketball program for the past 2 decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing new on Edward's account. BUT, the damage is likely done. Hopefully it's not the big deal we are speculating that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been obvious but the question that I want to know is why? What happened that turned this team into such a downward spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may speculate that there may be a couple of guys on this team who were recruited and sold on the 2-3 year plan to playing professionally. They may not like that they are now being asked to be 4-year role players and not featured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUaic Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I blame the Laughing at Purdue thread. Illinois had a laughing at IU thread when Crean first took over and look what has happened to their program since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 There was a movie in which a young boy basketball skills got switched with Kevin Durant maybe that what happened with us and somewhere some middle school teams is dominating like no one has ever seen and this is what we got stuck with.

addictedtoIU Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 It's possible that floor leadership is lacking. Archie, in the recent radio show, said the leadership is up for grab. I've been thinking Morgan was the bona fide leader of this team, but overall team leadership has declined. Who's going to step up? I'm thinking Durham would be a good candidate, but of course, he's gotta want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Aside from chemistry, effort, shooting etc.( all contributors) Here's what is wrong: During the 7 game losing streak, IU's bench has been outscored 92-43. The 43 includes 25 points from Al when he didn't start. Rob added 3 off the bench in one game. So, true bench players have provided 15 points in 7 games. That's how 22-0 runs happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
