Bring back the Big 4, IU, UofL, UofK and Purdue. That would be sweet. But IU's non conf schedule has never really been that great except for Davis who did put together and tough one.

I agreed with your point in general, but McRoberts was trash. He was a loser and a mental midget, same as Paulus. It's probably why Duke hasn't been able to get into the Sweet 16 recently.

Those two give you some points, but they cost you a lot more in negatively impacting the team, and I never saw signs of consistent leadership from either player last year. Crean will find people that can make up the points, and even if it costs us a few games next year, it is worth it to get started winning the right way again - to me it is anyway, I don't know if other fans would agree with me :-) I'd rather give up Bassett/Ellis's “experience” and point production, in exchange for starting with a clean slate and a team of players hand picked by Crean to play within his program and per his expectations.
