On this edition of CrimsonCast, we break down Indiana’s surprising 73-58 win over Purdue. We discuss the shortened rotation, the shifting offensive approach that Indiana took, and the defensive adjustment that flustered Purdue’s offense. We also discuss IU’s potential route to the NCAA Tournament, and what they need to do over the next few games.
We then turn our attention to the Indiana coaching search, as we zero in on four more names that have been bandied about - Iowa State’s TJ Otzelberger, Creighton’s Greg McDermott, Texas A&M’s Buzz Williams, and Arizona’s Tommy Lloyd. We discuss the pros and cons of each, and also focus on the importance of revenue and available money in examining the relative attractiveness of the IU job compared to other programs.
