The more and more it comes out, the more and more it appears Fauci is connected to the virus that came out of Wuhan. It's clear that this virus is synthetic and not naturally occurring. Then, another developing story is if it wasn't enough that Hillary white washed her computer to hide emails, or that the Clinton foundation funded the Trump dossier, but now it is found her campaign was financing an effort to infiltrate the POTUS server and make it appear that he has ties to Russia. This is the deepest of the deep state. I don't care what party it is. Trump. Clinton. Democrat. Republican. Super Pacts. Whatever. Prosecute them all and throw them behind bars forever. Our system is beyond corrupt.

to what the old "get off my lawn guys" have to say about the halftime show at breakfast in the morning.
That will not be PC, I'll bet.

In reflection, RMK’s strongest attribute as a coach was his ability to recruit players who could shoot. Yes, his teams usually took good shots, but I can think of very few Knight teams that did not have shooters/scorers and above average free throw shooters. I hope Woody does the same going forward. Go Hoosiers!

should start in place of Parker Stewart. The kid stepped up today. Nothing from Stewart or Kopp again. Sound familiar? 6 tough games left, could we possibly finish the season on a 9 game losing streak?
Just my thoughts!

was irgt but wrong that oknf her

Has it been so fricken hard for IU to get back to being good? Serious question. Other programs have gotten good- Rutgers, Arkansas, Bama, Seton Hall, Providence, UCLA, Zona quickly returned. Serious responses only.

please don’t blame coaches or admin. It seems to not matter who is coaching or who is AD, same ole crap year after year. I truly hate where this program is right now.

Race Thompson has been in double figures in 15 of the past 18 games, with those other 3 being 9 point games.

He has been a terrific player for IU this year and shows consistency game after game.

Jonathan King entered the portal after appearing in nine games.

So what happened there?

I believe we were up 21 then the game just flipped. In the first half Wisconsin looked slow, unathletic and were missing shots really badly. They looked to my untrained eyes to be a team that might score in the 30s for the game. They looked that bad.

So what happened?

let’s forget about our offense for a second. Up 21 with a defense as good as ours, it should be game over. What were the adjustments Gard and co made?

Why would he not got on the court against NW, yet get two minutes of garbage time today?
I have zero info… just trying to understand if he‘s not earned legit playing time, or if he was injured, etc. I certainly didn’t expect him to play much at all this year, but I found his absence vs NW curious.

Are they like this every game? I don't watch them enough to know. Were they just trying to bully IU?

The refs let it go on way too long. When Woody starts to go after another player, you know it's bad.

But, you know, good old Izzo would never coach something like that...... I've never seen an entire team act like such jerks.

This year the only thing he has shown is bad judgement. And he has used up half his eligibility. Did Archie not redshirt him because they thought he would go pro early? I bet Woody is telling him that future at Indiana is tenuous if he does not toughen-up and smarten-up.

Edit: last year was a a freebie because of covid. So he technically still a freshman.

Worst thing that could’ve happened to him was getting a five-star rating as a junior.

LEGGOOOOO….

No one started one?

Just saw the electric Silverado commercial. Halfway through, I was thinking, "This is goddamn awesome, please don't be a stupid car commercial."

Of course it was a stupid car commercial.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler still looks good, tho.

LOL

2023 big man Austin Parks has committed to Ohio State, as expected

And almost 1/2 million jobs were created in January 2022.

We feel the gut punches every game. IU is now an unfathomable 292nd in the country at the stripe. Last in the B10 by a considerable margin.

In conference games, the opponent is shooting 79.4% to IU’s 67.7%. And IU is just 62.3% in their seven B10 losses. The hard facts…

B10 losses:

IU: 73/117 (62.3%)
Opponent: 108/134 (80.6%)
-5.0 points per loss

This team fails so hard at the line (and how many front-ends have we seen missed?). We all know tight road games in the B10 hinge on making ‘em. And here we are.

Indiana Hoosiers… the team that can’t shoot straight. Unreal.

against Maryland this afternoon? He was in the ref's face and was yelling like crazy. Mike Woodson doesn't get those kind of breaks.

I bet on them to cover as part of a three leg Super Bowl parlay with Cincinnati and the under…

I’ll hang up and listen.

We've beaten it to death here and we all know our free throw shooting is p*$$ poor and unacceptable. What I don't understand is why our kids, who have terrible mechanics, aren't taught, coached...heck even forced to change those mechanics. It's not like I'm a coach or anything, but even a moronic novice knucklehead like myself can look at the shooting mechanics of many of our players and see they aren't built for success. Trey Galloway's wrist looks like it's moving sideways before he follows through. Xavier's push shot should have been discontinued in the sixth grade. Trayce doesn't bend his knees at the free throw line and just flicks the shot with his wrists.

I love Woody, but I hate...ABSOLUTELY HATE...what he said in the presser yesterday after the game about having to "get the kids more confident" about making shots.

Maybe I'm crazy but for many of our players, I don't think it's an "emotional" thing like confidence. I think it's a very teachable, coachable mechanics thing that has to be fixed. The sooner the better...Just coach them. Teach them. That's what you're paid to do!

My kid had a game today so I just tried to watch highlights on you tube right now. It pulled up the 1992 iu vs mich state game at first. Just amazing the ball movement and cutting etc we had on that team. They were just a machine of a team. For now I guess this is all we got but man wish we could get that back at iu.

Up 29-28 today with 1:30 left in first half. End the half down 37-30.

Down 54-51 with 9:30 to play in game. Score all of 7 points the rest of the game to lose 67-51. And that was with a meaningless bucket at the end of the game. So we managed 7 flipping points, in a chippy, hugely important, return game for the suspended kids…the final 9 minutes???

Enough blame to go around. Not gonna try and pin any on anyone.

I find it incredibly ironic though that the 2 guys we might be missing more than anyone, to help in these regards, are Rob Phinisee…and Al Durham. Rob has been a part of a couple of these debacles. But he is a guy, possibly our only guy, that’s capable of creating for himself and making outside shots. That shouldn’t be necessary when we have the two bigs we have…but here we are yet again. And then Al Durham…watched their game against DePaul tonight. His nickname now, evidently, is Mariano fricking Rivera…AKA the closer. Providence is 21-2, and they ride Durham nearly every possession late in games. He was something like 12-12 from the line, most of them late in the game.

It’s crazy how much better those 2 are overall than guys like Kopp and Stewart.

....................and suit up for Woodson.
Looking at the box score from yesterdays game left me apoplectic. Our guards either didn't shoot, or when they did (look at PS's line) they missed.
Do the Soul Trotters still suit up a team like they did in the 70's and 80's? We could use them
