Another win this year?

Very few..
Still soft..
Still cant shoot..
Still stand around on offense..
Still loose their guys on defense. Slow to close out on shooters.
They have about 8 minutes of ball in theirselves in a 40 min game..
There are no answers at this point..

It all comes down to leadership. This team has none.

Sure, Archie is to blame as well. He has to find a way to stop that 22-0 run by Rutgers. But no one is stepping up among the players. It should be Morgan. Some may say Romeo, but even with his talent he's not a firery kid and, remember, he's a freshman. As is Phin. Smith couldn’t lead a hooker into . . .

Our talent has just enough flaws to where our margin of error is razor-thin. We have to play well and together - and we did tonight for much of the 1st half, before foul trouble sat in. Once it did, the 22-0 run began. Not one player gathered us as a team and said "no more".

Until that happens - until SOMEONE steps up and becomes a leader - this team won't do squat.

10 league games plus BTT, 11 games left. 12-9 now, win 2 more for 14-18 record. Let's say 3 more wins, 15-17 as if that would make a difference. 12-3 start, 3-14 finish. Probably the best we can do.

Looking forward to baseball at this point.

Go IU!
 
Baffling why there are these scoreless stretches.....it's just like someone flips the switch to "off". Guess there just aren't enough high level working parts on this team.

Look, we are playing freshmen, 2 of our vets are out (suspension/injury) We just need to give cam some time and his own players. It can happen quickly, just look North...
 
I can't point to any game left on the schedule that looks like a win.

I think things turn around at some point. All the remaining road games will be tough but I think we win 5 of the 6 remaining home games (Iowa, OSU, Purdue, Wisconsin, Rutgers). We’ll likely be favored in 3 or 4 of those.
