How butthurt was that announcer at the end of the game though? Lmao that was so blatant it was hilarious
Never heard an announcer say he was rooting for one of the teams before
Your sacrifice for the cause is duly noted. Well done sir.
Yes and no. I just don't want him dribbling the ball with option to pass from there. On the wings or coming off a screen for a catch and release 3.
Regardless of where he is he us too lose with ball and poor passer.
Dribble drive or foul. Step back,off the elbow, catch and shot of the screen.
I'd say it's 80/20 we catch the pass and convert the shot, not in our favor. Just no ability to score in close.
He can't even help on the inbound at the end of games. Totally liability at that point.
We play 4 on 5 on offense when he is in. Why bother pick and roll with him.
He did have a nice block in the first half
He was fair to RU though, just wasn't shitting on IU like he could have, I respect it
That was maddening if play I'm thinking it is. Morgan was on him and wanted no part of fouling he was basically letting him dunk it. Need to get Myles little nastier still.
Eugene still can't elevate so tough to watch him under basket sometimes
The best part of having our own network is that they respect teams even when they have a bad game. We’ve been in that situation many times. It’s so much better when you have homer, knowledgeable league announcers rather than the guys from ESPN.

Geez, when we get off to a slow start and aren’t playing well, these game threads are remarkable in their negativity. I used to think it was funny, now not so much.
ESPN, several years ago, had become so, so acerbic with respect to schools that weren't part of their business plan. BTN is where it should be... critical of bad plays but generally focusing on the positive and usually not piling on (but what was up with Wenzel last two games)
I think you missed his point completely. He wasn't rooting against Rutgers. He was rooting for the future of Indiana basketball. The one who said that, Jon Crispin is a fan of ours and he in no way intended that to be a slight toward us. He just believes that Indiana and their fans need to be patient with Archie Miller and good things will come to their program in the future. You totally misinterpreted what he was saying.
Maybe that’s what he was going for but he was certainly not the impartial voice. He said “I’m from Indiana, I grew up watching them.” He was also basically begging for them to go on a run with about 7 min left.
There have been other games where I swore Jon Crispin is a huge Rutgers fan.
people are complaining about Jon Crispin, he has been more than fair and sometimes glowing about RU hoops recently
