Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

Reason #458 why you have to "love" Indiana coach Tom Crean: Setting low expectations publicly.

Crean was pumping up his team's opponent this morning on Twitter as his Hoosiers prepare to play the Badgers tonight, calling Wisconsin a national title contender. I am all for flattery, but we all know where it gets you. Also enjoyed how Wisconsin never puts "a player on the court that cant score." Has he seen some of UW's lineups?

Coaches do that all the time.

I think his idea is that when Indiana loses, Crean can say he lost to the “potential national champions” rather than the rival Wisconsin Badgers. And saying we “never put a player on the court that cant score” is a little too much respect…..I’m looking at you Tim Jarmusz .

I gots to put the team on my back, doo.

If a team puts a player on the floor that can't score,

then said player is playing the wrong sport.

Seriously, that’s like saying “Indiana has a chance to win every game they participate in.”

So we should have been doomed

for putting Jarmusz on the floor so often last year.

Wait a second…

I'm scared to see what happens if IU wins

I expect a court storming and Tom Crean speech to the crowd in which he breaks down and cries – at the minimum.

And that's not going to happen

because of Superman, er, Jordan Taylor.

I think Crean needs to spend a little less time

Twittering and a lot more time getting Hossiers ready for game. But then you do tend to gravitate to your strengths.
