Another tough loss for the Crimson. When does the NIT schedule come out?

That game was winnable. Back to plan A: Win the B1G tournament. nbd

Yes it was. No Hanner, no Austin. Gordon and Howard? Davis looked great as did Williams.Originally Posted by Razor Shines
I am liking Devin Davis.

I am too. He is going to be a fine player.
I have a feeling he's going to frustrate the heck out of fans over the next couple of years.
This is a great improvement in my expectations of him two weeks ago when I thought he'd be a non factor.
Crean has to play him dude. That has been an issue this year.
Could be. However, he's also been practically non-existent for the last two months prior to Wednesday night. To pin that solely on Crean is nonsensical.
It isn't as if he was out playing Vonleh and Crean just refused to recognize the hidden brilliance.

What is nonsensical is playing Howard over Davis for the last how many months? Has nothing to do with Vonleh. Howard over Davis? I must have missed Marlin's hidden brilliance as well, but Crean recognizes it.
Granted, Davis had proven to be a turnover machine until recently, but yeah, I agree, especially if you factor in the rebounds per minute and blocks per minute for Double "D"; both are very high.
As for Marlin, he does handle the ball well and really doesn't make mistakes with it, so Marlin's minutes may well have been a by-product of Crean's over-coaching, due to the turnover problem. The trouble with playing Marlin, who can shoot, but is hesitant, to say the least, is that he was often placed on the court with two or three offensive non-factors, such as Howard, which made no sense, IMO.
Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
To be honest the whole team has been a turnover machine!
Jeff Howard has played an average of under 6 minutes per game in the 23 games he played in. He's obviously limited, but has essentially been in the game to commit fouls and not turn the ball over. He's done those two things pretty well.
Worrying about Johnny Marlin's 43 minutes of playing time this year is just looking for something complain about.
HR......really? To foul and not turn the ball over?
If memory serves me right he started getting minutes when CTC benched Hollowell. Ever since then he has been involved in the rotation and has been in there at critical times...even on the offensive side of the ball.
Marlin has been in the same boat to a degree. He started seeing limited minutes in some crucial ballgames. 43 minutes or not he really shouldn't have been on the floor at all.
I wish he was just a little taller. He's athletic and works hard, but he's undersized in the post. He'll be a lot more useful if he can develop a mid range game in the offseason. Either way, these last few games have been a huge improvement for him!
Right now I would say he is a mix between a young Charles Barkley and A.J. Moye! We got 3 more years of him, I believe upon his graduation...Hoosiers fans will have appreciated him.
