Just… stop.

Maybe that play is not reviewable, but it was the right call. Also, Davis gets those calls because he’s a badass and Woodson had Miller Kopp guarding him. I think he got him with the body anyway.

Trying to reduce a 40 minute game into two plays is a fools errand. IU should have been up 10 at that point.

This IU team loses to them 9 out of 10 times. They are just a much better team. Their all-American is a legit pro.

Had we a couple shooters, Trayce and Race would prosper even more.

Led by Xavier’s salty 3-15 performance and 1-6 from 3, our guards were yet again the reason for our loss. I won’t mention another ghost performance by Kopp. He truly just brings zero to the team. 15 league games and the starter Kopp is yet to make more than 2 FG’s in a single game.

Back to our woeful guards last night. Xavier / Bates / Galloway / Lander / Stewart shot a combined 9-36.
Take your pic on POTG. Was it our starting PG Xavier with a stat line of 3-16 FG’s, 1-6 threes, and 5 turnovers and not a single free throw attempt? Or, was it our highly touted 5 star reserve guard Tamar Bates? TB was 0-5 FG’s, O-2 threes and yep, not a single free throw attempt. So our current senior PG along with our “future” combined for 3-21 FG’s, 1-8 from three and my favorite, zero free throws.

This has been the case ongoing for years and the bottom line is our guards as a collective group are terrible. They are the reason we can’t beat anyone. They are the reason we can’t close our games. They are the reason we will miss the tourney for a 6th consecutive year. Outside of Romeo’s one season, we haven’t had a difference maker at the guard spot since Yogi. This remains the biggest problem we have and it’s been this way for 6 years. Until it’s fixed, what we have seen the last several years is what we should expect to see.

In the last 4 min of the first half, and last 8 min of second half.

I don't have time to do the research and the math, but I bet of the 80 min in two games combined, we we winning for 65 of those 80 minutes (or at least...not losing). In both games, we lost our momentum in the last 4 min of the first half (after outplaying them), and then fell on our di%ks in the final 8 minutes.

I'll do X a favor and not combine his stat lines for the two games. It has to be ugly.

yet the offense is still pitiful, team looks no different than the archie years, he has recruited about 18 guards for the next 3 years, outside of banks who is 6 7 and 175 lbs we have no size at all coming in or even looking at us, can someone please give me some hope?

1. Our margin for error is so thin with this team, that Rob Phinisee is legitimately the difference between being an NCAA team and not. We were safely an NCAA team when he played…and we are decidedly NOT an NCAA team without him. Who’d have thunk he’d be the difference.

2. We aren’t going to make the NCAA because we aren’t good enough to win 3+ out of 5 against our remaining schedule.

3. Another year being in this position is depressing.

4. Wyoming is ranked 22nd in the country and a “lock” for the NCAAs. Wy flipping Oming.

5. As it stands today…next year could be worse.

6. Even if we somehow do win 4 more games, including BTT…and do get an at large… we aren’t good enough to do any damage in the tourney.

7. Despite Cavs glowing reviews, and what’s becoming annoying, optimism…our backcourt isn’t capable. We have exactly zero NBA level players on our roster right now.

More interested in mouthing off and fake tough guy BS. Can’t shoot a lick. Not even layups and/or free throws. No composure. Not a winner in the bunch. This will sound harsh, but I’m not sure he shouldn’t totally clean house. It’ll probably take a couple years to do it, but we won’t win until these cats are gone.

Should never ever take a three pointer again.

I know some are incredibly high on woodson but boy I am having a hard time seeing how anything gets better next year. This program needed the ncaa this year in the worst way this year yet here we are again.

IU guards suck . Terrible shooting
No NCAA Tournament

Trey shoots two 3s.

X shoots two outside shots.

Parker shoots a 26 foot shot, with a defender all over him…out of a time out.

Two problems.

1. We have ZERO players we can rely on to make plays in those situations. Rob is the closest thing, and he’s out.

2. Our coaching staff seems to have no ability and/or creativity to call good plays down the stretch. That’s what we get coming out of that timeout? Those are the guys we end up having take those shots coming down the stretch?

Our talent isn’t good. Sorry Cav, we’re just not very good top to bottom. And while I like a lot of what Woody brings to the program. He isn’t a coach that’s going to bring a lesser talented team along to wins.

not sure what we are

Just like we thought they would. Last four minutes was some of the worst shooting I’ve ever seen. Not even close to going in.

The all time Indiana women’s basketball player is wearing a Wisky sweatshirt and talking shit to the student section cause they chanted airball after an airball. She’s also marrying down. I realize this post is petty af, but I don’t care.

.

A big one tonight for the Hoosiers as Wisconsin comes to Assembly Hall.

Indiana is losers of 3 straight games.

Tip in about 75 minutes.

Indiana State transfer having a terrific year at Wake Forest. Would have helped IU.

It doesn't seem widely reported yet, but the folks on NPR have confirmed that PJ O'Rourke is dead at 74

Indiana CB commit Daeh McCullough drops to No. 247 overall.

No. 3 in the state and No. 31 CB in the rankings.

Ok, not really. But I figured this will be a good trap to trip all the PU fans who will climb over each other trying to get into this thread.

Carry on......

For stopping the Ukraine invasion, Russia is withdrawing troops as we speak. Just an example of when President Biden speaks the world listens!

I was curious given he has been such a bust where he was ranked coming out of high school. Per rivals he was a top 70 four star. Wow I was thinking three star at best.

I wasn't aware that Remington went bankrupt in 2020. The 73M comes from their insurers.

Thousands of pages of internal Remington company documents can also now be made public, according to Koskoff's law firm.

"This victory should serve as a wake up call not only to the gun industry, but also the insurance and banking companies that prop it up," Koskoff said. "For the gun industry, it's time to stop recklessly marketing all guns to all people for all uses and instead ask how marketing can lower risk rather than court it. For the insurance and banking industries, it's time to recognize the financial cost of underwriting companies that elevate profit by escalating risk. Our hope is that this victory will be the first boulder in the avalanche that forces that change."

And what are we drinking tonight?

I'm torn on this one. We're coming off 3 straight losses so I keep thinking we're due for a W, especially at home. But we've lost 2 of our last 3 home games and we have not had much success against the Badgers in recent years (I threw up in my mouth a little after typing that). I see that we're a 3-point favorite, but that seems wildly optimistic. My confidence is very low right now.

I want to go with my heart on this one, but my head is winning the argument.

Spaten Pils for me tonight. Going old school!

What say you Hoosier fans?

GO HOOSIERS!!
