Best line I heard so far:
"Probably a result of too many court stormings."

Crean needs to be able to figure out how to get other guys involved creatively, but I don't have a ton of confidence that he can do that. With Troy Williams, for instance, he is far from a finished product, and I expect him to be a very good player for IU in the future. However, right now he is basically an out of control elite athlete. He makes some good hustle plays, and he is pretty effective in transition because of his athleticism. But he is basically worthless in the halfcourt because he doesn't shoot threes (or at least shouldn't) and cannot create his own shot. A good offensive coach would figure out ways to have him catch the ball on the move to be able to use that athleticism to get into the lane and to the rim.
Stan is another guy who could be so much more effective in a good offense. He is a pretty crafty player who can create his own shot better than most, but again, he is creating all on his own. I know it's not fair to compare Crean to Knight, but Stan would fill it up in Knight's offense. He reminds me a lot of Andre Emmett, who was a star in Knight's first few years at Texas Tech. Not much of an outside game, but a unique ability to get into the lane and crafty around the rim.

Reporting says these pieces are not structural. I'm guessing they will get it sorted out soon and finish the home season.
Although I sort of wish it could just be over now.

Don't know if this is good news or not...

I watched the press conference they had yesterday afternoon. They said that the roof of Assembly Hall has a design where the roof slants inward and that this was the most snow that the roof had ever seen. The snow had caused the roof to flex, thus popping that 50lb metal plate off. They also said that numerous other plates were loose, but were not in any danger of falling. You can watch the press conference on insidethehall.com.
Didn't the ladies play there last night?
