Top 10 Potential Replacements For Tom Crean At Indiana

... legend took Vanderbilt to the NCAA tournament after a successful five-year stint at his alma mater. Drew put together a winning record in the SEC. He'd have a bigger spotlight and an opportunity to compete for more championships with Indiana. Randy Wittman. Born in Indiana, played at Indiana and took his game to the NBA, eventually for Indiana. Wittman's coaching experience extended through Cleveland, Minnesota and Washington, but perhaps a move back to his alma mater would work out. He'll be mentioned throughout the process. Chris Mack. Xavier coaches tend to have success when they move up, and Mack has strong ties to both Ohio and Indiana. The Musketeers have made the tournament seven of the last eight seasons, and the Big Ten would be a bigger spotlight for Mack. This wouldn't generate a lot of hype, but maybe that's what Indiana needs. Dane Fife. Fife played for Indiana's national runner-up team in 2001-02, and he's served as an assistant at both Indiana and Michigan State. Fife had ...

Maryland Basketball Fizzles Out In Ncaa Tournament Loss To Xavier

... injury and the coach challenged its toughness. Maryland worked tirelessly to reverse course but never could. “But we never stopped trying to be the same team,” Turgeon said. “Our guys gave everything they had. We ran into a team that is playing well right now.”. The Terrapins not only struggled on the boards — Xavier held a 34-24 rebounding advantage — but also struggled to contain Bluiett, who scored 18 points in the second half. But the most prevalent problem was dealing with Xavier’s defense, which toggled from man-to-man to zone schemes to swarm Trimble at every turn. Maryland’s scoring drought of 4:59 was compounded by the streaky shooting of Bluiett and sophomore forward Kaiser Gates, who nailed a corner three-pointer to give his team a 61-50 lead with just more than nine minutes remaining. Trimble, perhaps sensing that this could be his final chance to play in the NCAA tournament, tried to save Maryland. He took a charge ...

Saint Mary's Survives Rare Close Game To Beat Vcu

... November and Pacific in early February. Even the Gaels' four losses — one to UT Arlington and three to Gonzaga — were by 13 or more points. TOP JOBS. Saint Mary's scoring differential coming into the NCAA Tournament was plus-15.5 points. Even so, the veteran Gaels drew from the game at Dayton (like VCU, a member of the Atlantic 10) and steadied themselves. After a 15-point halftime lead was cut to 56-54 with 10:42 remaining, Saint Mary's reasserted itself. Dane Pineau's blocked shot and rebound led to his own layup and Jock Landale added two free throws for SMC. Even though the Rams then cut the lead to four points, they never came any closer. SMC coach Randy Bennett chuckled during Wednesday's news conference when asked about VCU's success in close games, noting how his team lacked such experience this season. What the Gaels do have veteran leadership, which helped them weather the Rams' challenge. "Our guards have great composure," Bennett said. "We've been through situations like this before," said senior guard Joe Rahon, who ...

... do it yourself.”. She was able to do plenty in her first season out of Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy in Georgia. Martin averaged 10.3 points as a freshman, and her 362 points and 140 field goals each ranked fifth best for a freshman in WVU program history. She was only the second player in program history to win a conference Freshman of the Year award, joining Meg Bulger, who won the 2004 Big East honor. Still, the jitters of youth affected Martin at the beginning of her new leadership position. “I wasn’t very vocal at first,” she said. “But when I felt more comfortable out there, it became easier.”. That growing comfort level showed on the court. She finished in double-figure scoring in the first 21 games of this season and averages a Big 12-best 18.6 points entering Friday’s contest. She really came into her own during WVU’s run through the Big 12 tournament, scoring 21 points against Oklahoma, 29 ...

Indiana Fires Tom Crean After 9 Seasons

... NBA hopefuls Thomas Bryant and Anunoby. That didn't play well in the state, nor did a series of embarrassing problems off the court. The worst event occurred on Halloween 2014 when freshman forward Emmitt Holt hit sophomore teammate Devin Davis with a car, leaving Davis with a brain injury. The police report said alcohol was a factor. Davis was booted off the team the following spring after he was cited for possession of marijuana. Holt was kicked off the team the following August after being arrested for illegal possession of alcohol. Eventually, Indiana University President Michael Mc Robbie spoke up, too. "I want to see the world-class accomplishments of our faculty and students celebrated, as well as the accomplishments of our student-athletes," Mc Robbie said at a coaches meeting in August 2014. "What I do not want to see is any more stories of repeated student misbehavior. They embarrass the university, they ...
