Tom Crean just got fired.

Tom Crean just got fired.

His Wiki Page just now:

He was the dumbest head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team.

Colson needs to stop trying for the opposite side and put it straight up.

I had hopes after Brey mentioned 'need to defend the 3 better' at halftime, they would. They just can't stop over helping and leaving open 3's open though.

 

[Cackalacky]

I haven't watched a Princeton BBall game since they beat UCLA in 96... are these slashes and drives their thing like the back door play was back in the day?? Or did they see something in ND just for this game?

Its been a while for me too but I have always thought of Princeton's basketball offense like i think of Navys football offense. Its just what they do. Backdoor, slip passes, gritty, defensive basketball.

I think they need to pick up the tempo a little bit since they haven't opened up a decent cushion at any point. Princeton is two made 3's away from a tie/lead.

ND is more athletic, and they don't look like they're in a very good rhythm. Get moving and force yourself into open looks.

Correct

 

[ACamp1900]

One of those frustrating games where we miss out with every possession that could pull us further away...

 

[NDgradstudent]

We need to stop d-cking around. Farrell with some ugly TOs.

 

[IrishLion]

Bonzie is kind of playing like garbage despite a few impressive buckets.

Settling for bad looks and not moving well at all. If his ankle is that bad, get him off or sit him at the top of the key.

 

[ACamp1900]

We've taken like five poor shots in a row...

 

[dad4aa]

We are not playing well but it's hard to win 5 on 8

 

[Irish#1]

wake up men

 

[SaltyND24]

We can't get a bucket or a call to save our lives right now

 

[Irish#1]

We've taken like five poor shots in a row...

We've taken a lot of poor shots today.

 

[ACamp1900]

Man, we suddenly can't even hit free throws....

 

[IrishLion]

RUN THE FLOOR PLZ

 

[ACamp1900]

We seem to be playing tighter and tighter... not a good sign...

 

[IrishLion]

These guys still got tired legs from the ACC tourny or what?

Even Vasturia looks lackadaisical trying to drive to the bucket.

 

[koonja]

More open 3's. Their defensive adjustments are BVG-esque.

 

[ColinKSU]

If you told me a bookie got to this ND team today, I'd believe you. They can't defend, hit field goals, jump shots and they keep turning it over.

 

[NDgradstudent]

Under 10 minute choke jobs becoming a thing again. Offense is hold the ball and chuck up a 3. Insane.

 

[zelezo vlk]

The Bonz with a huge bucket

 

[IrishLion]

Just a strange game. They're playing like it started at 9am, still trying to wake up.

 

[NDgradstudent]

I would be over already if we'd hit our FTs earlier.

 

[koonja]

Princeton has missed so many wide open 3s. They could should be up 8 right now. Very poorly defended by ND.

 

[IrishLion]

Bonzie's getting there. Now make the foul shots.

 

[ColinKSU]

That possession was sure something. Take your time, burn the clock, chuck up a garbage shot.

It's bad Farrell this half, I'm afraid. Inexplicable.

 

[Irish#1]

We're standing around too much on offense. Need the stop.
