Butler-Indiana thread CBS

I thought they were related ( like 2nd cousins). I also hear Cal was pushing for Archie to be IU coach

Yeah I think you're right. Seem to remember reading that he had reached out to JC to get his advice on whether or not he should take the Indiana Job. Either way I know Calipari said publicly that he thought Indiana made a great hire in Archie.

 

[Wildcat1997]

Correct - it’s not much publicized...but Cal did throw in a good word for Arch to be next coach at IU

IU will make a new popcorn box.

Luckily IU won’t have to pretend they won though.

Getting a little full of yourself now that Indiana is ranked for once. Wake me up when Indiana actually makes it past the sweet 16.

Not full of nothing. Cal is the new Crean. Deal with it.

Well you are full of crap. If Cal is the new Crean, who is Archie Miller?

The new Sean Miller. Buying Romeo like Sean does and will flame out.

That's crazy. Butler given only two free throws the ENTIRE GAME, and in a very intense hard fought game that went down to the final shot?

When have you seen that before?

I mean, IU only went to the line 10 times; Morgan was 7-7. Total fouls was 15(Butler)-12(Indiana). Not some huge difference.

Sorry for the non-UK bump, but I just saw this.

I’ve seen a lot of stupid things said on college basketball message boards. But this one has to rank near the top.

I’m obviously no UK or Cal fan. But I am capable of reading things like WL records, tournament brackets, etc.

Whatever else I might think of John Calipari, I’d be hard-pressed to name a coach in the country who has had more success during the years Cal has been at Kentucky.

Tom Crean’s best team over 9 mostly painful seasons in Bloomington featured two of the top 4 picks in the ensuing NBA Draft. And that team struggled to beat a mediocre Temple team before getting curb-stomped by Syracuse in one of the single worst coaching jobs I have ever witnessed.

Cal, on his worst day, is 10 times the coach Crean is on his best. It’s embarrassing that any IU fan would draw that ridiculous comparison.
