Ballo post game comments

[DANC]

As I recall Troy turned out better at PU than Delray did anywhere.

Didn't Delray make a Final Four with Providence?

Of course that’s awful. But that probably doesn’t happen nearly as much if the head coach doesn’t publicly call out the fan base last senior night. He put a target on the players backs when he said what he did. And it’s further justification that it’s a good thing he’s gonna be done soon.

Bullshit justifications for poor behaviour. Some of fan’s behaviour doesn’t belong at IU.

Several guys were getting death threats. I think we can all agree that shouldn’t be happening.

What were the death threats over?

 

[VanPastorMan]

This. I don't buy that several guys were getting "death threats". How could an IU fan care that much?

It's because the Colts stink.

Sorry, as I said, Zeke has proven repeatedly she'll fudge facts to match her emotions. Sadly, one of a handful of posters that I can't trust anything she says.

links?

Yeah, I just listened to Ballo's comments. I don't know how he played, and I'm sure the kevlar bodysuit slowed him down for fear of being shot dead on the court. He sounded absolutely terrified.

That's as big a smokescreen and nothing-burger as I've heard in awhile. If he got a death threat or threat at all, he obviously took it as seriously as it warranted. I'll be glad to flush this entire team and regime. I hope the phrases "true fan" and "real fans" are never uttered by an IU player again. If they're winning, there will never be a need. This is this team and staff grasping at every straw they can to avoid looking in the mirror and taking some responsibility on themselves.

I'm so happy that we have someone like you that can sit on your fat ass watch a game and determine the intent and inner workings of our players and coach's minds with unwarranted confidence based on nothing but your own biased cynically f**ked up perspective.

You're like a dime store version of Sigmund Fraud.

I truly believe you need to contact management and complain about how offended you are by your own assumptions.

Yeah. Pitino coach and Billy Donovan hitting bombs put them in the final four. If you look at Delray’s life it has been a strange journey, very strange. Couldn’t ask for a better teammate but strangeness seemed to target him.

The unfiltered perspective a true man and consummate professional. Refreshing…

It's not hard to see the line of comments and how they've progressed. From Woodson talking about "real fans" and "true fans" to Galloway and Leal's comments at their first senior night, to Goode and now Ballo, talking about real fans. Dumb to try and cause division in the fanbase when you are underperforming. Haven't sniffed a conference title or S16 in what, almost 10 years? They should be thanking fans for continuing to show up and support them instead of trying to divide them. Most programs at this point would have half full arenas, and IU fans continue to show up, at home and on the road. There are lots of problems with this team and program; our fans aren't one of them.

You make me laugh some times when I need a good one. But, are you ever happy?

Dumb Beat ya to it.

Don't these kids get media training?

His comment is a message to the selection committee that we are done playing here. Pick someone else.

I don't remember anyone booing our 6 win team in Crean's first year. Nobody got death threats that I am aware of. Why? That team wasn't good, but they played hard and competed the best they could. This team doesn't get back on defense (Ballo jogging back in the last game) doesn't get out on the shooters.

I will only miss the 2 players that wanted to be at IU. Galloway and Leal didn't play here because of their NIL deal. Goode played hard and was the one leader on the team in his first year. There is a chance he can play another year. I would take him back. The rest need to find a new deal somewhere else.
