On this edition of CrimsonCast Live, we explore the realities of IU-Ohio State, and try to decipher the Hoosier defense’s performance over the last few games and whether that translates into possible successes against the Buckeyes this week. We also talk with Mike Norman, basketball columnist for the Indiana Daily Student, and Jimmy Cavanaugh, co-managing editor for IUSportCom, about IU’s chances this weekend. We then switch to basketball, and talk about our expectations for this next few weeks and beyond. Who are the players we are most interested in seeing for the first time in Friday’s televised practice? How will the minutes play out for IU this year? Is the lack of a difficult non-conference schedule a problem? Chronic Hoosier joins us late in the proceedings for conversation regarding these and other points.

Galen is joined by ChronicHoosier, as CrimsonCast continues its week of coverage leading up to the start of the Hoosiers’ 2011 campaign on Saturday. Galen covers the four things he feels have gotten the Wilson era off on the right foot, and Chronic talks about the comparisons between Wilson and a former IU coach in a different sport. Plus, we discuss the switching of sideline location for the IU squad, the lack of applicability of the early games of the schedule to the rest of the schedule, and the variability of the season’s possible outcomes.

GC sits down with ChronicHoosier for a good hour-plus conversation on the nature of play for IU’s squad. What’s causing the disparity in free throws? Where’s the rebounding? Why does the offense die at the 7 minute mark of every second half? And what do we expect moving forward? That, plus predictions on tonight’s big Indiana/Purdue clash, on today’s CrimsonCast!
Be sure to check out the Hoosier Chronicles for more Chronic wisdom.

We get to do a lot of cool things here at CrimsonCast, but today was one of the coolest experiences for me, by far. I got a chance to sit down with everyone’s favorite Twitter-based IU basketball commentator, ChronicHoosier, and discuss Hoosier hoops for a solid hour. In this podcast, we talk about momentum, motivation, talent levels, point spreads, the challenge of putting on the Indiana uniform, and the possibilities down the stretch for this year’s Hoosier basketball team. Take a listen, leave a comment, and enjoy!
