An 11-point lead with about 6 minutes to go to the worst team in the conference and you blow it.
Turnovers.
Bad shots.
Pointless possessions.
Bad coaching. (9 secs on shot clock after a TO and you end up with Roth going 1-on-1?)
Missed front-end in the clutch.
Horrific defense all game long.
The shots to win the game included hitting the underside of the rim and throwing something up falling out of bounds.
3 losses in a row.
A losing record in the Big Ten.
Haven't won a conference road game outside of Happy Valley in almost 4 years.
From Top Ten in the country to a team that looks like it may not even make the tournament.
Pathetic.
Shameful.
I wrote this to try to feel a tad bit better. It didn't work. I'm out.

Can't argue with the facts. Something is wrong.
2 FGs in the last 9 minutes. Never looked like we drew up a play after a time out. Truly embarrassing. IU looked they just joined the Big Ten. I am so pissed right now.
IU shot 51% from the field and 44% from the arc and still lost to Nebraska. That equals some really bad defense and careless turnovers.
Suicides for the players and coaching lessons from brother-in-laws are in order.

Everyone failed tonite. Starts with Crean. All players sucked, and Cody deserves criticism too. No one deserves any shelter from the $hitstorm of negative coverage this will generate in Indiana. I'm not a RMK disciple, but this is one of those times he would get drastic. Sitting the starters, kicking them out of their locker room, no iu jerseys in practice until earned back. I mean WTF is going on in that locker room? Is all the Cody coverage causing other guys, like Watford to shrivel up?
RT @andybottoms: IU also had 9 turnovers between 13:26 and 4:46 mark in the second half. I will now resume slamming my head into a table.
Listening to Crean post-game right now. Really don't want to hear about how good of a team Nebraska is....bullshit, they fucking suck and you guys shit the bed, coach.
In fairness, Crean also making some good points, but you're a ranked team with an 11-point lead against the last place team in conference....you HAVE to win that game. And when you don't, I don't want to hear how good Nebraska is. Their second-best win is against South Dakota State.
nebraska is terrible. we should have cruised with our 11 point lead. we put on a passing clinic in that one possession and got an easy basket for CZ. then the rest of the way we were morons. VJ and Watford make such ridiculous decisions. it will really help to have Hulls at SG next year too. i like the guy and we need him. we just need Yogi running point and jordy at SG. can crean coach D? i'm worried.

To whoever wrote the "shit the bed" post...That Sir, it the best and most funny post I have read all night. Nebraska does suck and Crean must think we're basketball imbeciles to actually believe that. Why even say it? Put the blame on yourself Crean. Eat it, big boy. Hoosier fans know better and we're not about to accept it.
Better find some defense or this ship is heading for the NIT...maybe.
