take this shit to the Bahamas, it will be the same shit as every other out of conference neutral court match up in the woody era. will get embarrassed.
Cav thinks Woodson's teams play hard
- Thread starter kurt cloverdales
- Start date
Yup, same old shtick. I'm ready for football game, this crap is boring
If we face the Zags and play like this, they will run us off the court.
rinse and repeat, looks like woody ball
Was at the opening game a couple weeks ago and realized it was the first time in my life i was bored at assembly hall.

A sewing show on PBS is more exciting to watch than this team. No heart, no effort, and certainly no rebounding!
3 games no matter what, Louisville will give us all we want in the opener get by them will probably get blown out by Gonzaga
The problem is they don't seem conditioned to play hard all the time. They lack situational awareness and the most basic fundamentals. This team has so much talent but for whatever reason, they're simply not being coached up.
I have used their complete lack of understanding how to rebound as a prime example of a super easy teaching technique that CMW coached teams have always lacked. Hummel called it out repeatedly as if to gasp at just how glaringly awful that is. I'm telling you, if CMW doesn't do magic soon, he is cooked.
The best example of lack of awareness and basic fundamentals ... Malik does not block out on a missed FT by them and they get the rebound. Hummel said it best even when they were up 16 twice ... doing some little things that you will not get away with playing more athletic bigger players. UCLA, tough, Michigan looks decent, MSU is typical team, Purdue looks good so far, Illinois will be tough as long as Underwood is coaching there ... They can call me a whiner all they want ... I see the same BS year after year with great talent.
I'm genuinely hoping for better because I really want CMW to be the guy but I'm going to call a spade a spade.
Reneau is what he is, decent low post scorer, average athlete, piss poor defender and rebounder for his size. pretty much same player he was as a freshman, has better numbers because he plays more.
I told u guys same old lack of defense awareness no fundamentals on rebounding. Also we started off great against South Carolina and today what does Woodson do brings in the subs and let's them get back in the game I'm tired of this..
I didn’t even know there was a bball game on tonight. I’ve gone years without missing any, and I’ve become apathetic. Woodson doesn’t coach like he cares, why should I?
And it’s nothing against the guy, he just isn’t a good coach. Whatever politics that go on behind the scenes when picking a bball coach need to stay far away from the next hire.

All the comments seem FAR TOO KIND.
These clowns need to be mentally focused for 40 minutes.
And the substitutions..........don't get me started.

It's Buckner... Best Buds even when lose close to Kansas they smoke cigars together I'm sure if we lose by 20 to Gonzaga Buckner will have the cigars ready.
Rice is a find so is Tucker. The problem is our best lineup needs minutes with Rice, Carlyle, Tucker, Mgbako, Reneau.
Yep, that'll be a great lineup.... until they have to play defense.
Which is crazy because IU's roster is deep. If the excuse is that's not the case, that's also on Woodson. In either case, there are no more excuses for the staff. A win is a win but to pretend there aren't glaring concerns as of today, would be a lie.
What kills me is that this team has so much potential that will likely go unrealized due to poor coaching. Right now we look like a team that will win one game in the NCAA Tournament and then be sent packing.
Is it that deep though? We got 8 that can play and Goode and Caryle haven’t played well at all
Which will probably get Woody another year.
Hummel said it best last night… IU is probably the most talented team in the big ten, let’s see if they can come together and gel as a team.
dont forget the whiskey to go along with those cigars
How many times have I heard in 3 years and 4 games "that's on me" ???
That was a "set the table" comment from Hummel. Whom I like as an announcer. He sees our faults and expects other B10 teams, like p-u, to exploit us and beat us.
let's face it, we may be the most disgruntled 4-0 fan base in the nation right now.
next couple weeks will be telling. the conf schedule will be its usual meat grinder.
I thought this squad had the means to get to 25 wins this year. Feeling a little iffy about that prediction right now.

This was the closest thing to one of last season's pre con games in terms of performance. That said, this UNCG team is, IMHO better than most any pre con opponents last year. Before the "line change", IU looked sharp. Watching again this morning. I'm reminded that Galloway has always been either an infusion of energy, or an infusion of WTF are you thinking. Last night was the latter.
When I get discouraged, I do a mental comparison of Myles Rice and X. It just makes me feel better. I'm not, at least at this point, concerned about getting to 24, maybe 25 wins.
The good thing is he is 64 and he almost got fired last year if it weren't for Buckner he would be gone but if he doesn't make the tournament with this team or is a one and done I think the fan base will push him out especially when you see what Football is doing with a great coach.

Was at the game, they played like they were already on the plane for the tropics. They for sure did not play hard last night. However, while I am not super confident we are going to be a top 10 team at the end of the year, last night doesn't change my thinking.
In college bball these kind of games happen a lot. Do we play to our opponent a lot so far this year? Yep. But we also played more energized than Tenn., and both teams were playing like it was a final 4 game. I don't care if it didn't count. We saw what this team can do.

Will find next week but what I have seen through this first month nothing has changed as far Woodson as a coach. Its a damn shame because a great coach would have this team rolling...
All I can do is hope he means what he says, but the problem is philosophically I just don’t think he will ever out coach someone.
