do you think

I didn’t say it would be easy but the poster said we were definitely out of the tourney.
I disagree. 13-7 and maybe 12-8, depending on what other teams do and how many conf tourney upsets happen etc, will probably get us in.

Thank goodness we won at UM and are 2-0 as 1-1 would have made it immensely more difficult. I’m not predicting we will get in but rather let’s see how the next 4-5 conference games go.
I think we need 14 wins in the big ten and have to beat purdue at least once
 
I am fine if they do. We get nothing from either of them. Gunn did not have the summer some said he did.
I'd like to hear in private what his high school coach has to say about his play to date. Is he surprised by his lack of development? If not, then why. Is it the Peter Principle at play? Do the bright lights make him nervous? Is he immature?

Not exactly sure how anyone complains about Gunn and Banks without including Leal and Sparks. Our bench is a bad freaking joke. But I’m guessing Woody’s top-shelf recruiters (hardly assistant coaches, because not a single one of them has accomplished a damn thing) would disagree. How these clowns have big time jobs is beyond me.
 
Making the NCAA Tournament is now the bar for success. Crean should have been given a lifetime contract.
Crean missed the tournament more times than he made it. The hell are you talking about? Why do you think he was fired? Woodson starts missing the tournament at the rate of Crean he’ll be shown the door as well.

Because I never expected anything from sparks or leal at all. Gunn and banks were suppose to be rotation players. I really hope those who mentioned earlier this year sparks being a starter next year realize that would be a disaster. He is not good.

Crean missed it early when the program was a mess and then missed it late when OG was hurt. In between he was in the sweet 16. Where we haven’t been since he left.

Gunn and Banks are athletic with higher ceilings. Leal and Sparks are what they are, limited ability and athleticism.

I am a bit surprised we didn’t play Sparks for at least a few minutes today. Would have been good experience heading into B10 play.

There are a ton of kids that kill it in high school that never do anything in D1. A ton.
Hopefully Gunn develops into a contributing D1 guy but plenty of guys don’t.
 
How we don’t have another guard on the roster is pretty bullshit. You can’t have an open scholarship and roll this shit out there. Gabe is nowhere near ready to play, and it is not his fault.
Plus, X is injury prone and not a super consistent shooter. Gotta have guards that can create and shoot: Woody isn't getting it done in this department, which is weird because this is what his offense is based on.
 
Lack of development amongst a lot of players is concerning. Geronimo, Bates, Banks, Gunn. None have shown any real improvement (yes I know Geronimo and Bates are gone).
It a HUGE concern because Geronimo and Bates have gone on to be all-American talents. . It’s literally unbelievable that Woody didn’t unleash those incredible talents. Good call.

We need contributions from the bench. Gunn and Banks are both athletic, but don’t seem to be much better than last season. We didn’t land a guard in the portal. The responsibility has to lie somewhere, and Woody just got a million dollar raise.

This is what I dont get. Why did he get a million dollar raise though? Ok, he made the Ncaa's twice but also had one of the best big's ever at IU. These AD's are so quick to give people raised its alarming. Result? This group of guards. Bottom 3-4 group in the B1G. Mind boggling.
 
Sure be excited about the football program that makes 1-2 bowl games per decade. Give up on a basketball coach who is 2 for 2 making the tournament. Jesus our fan base has to be the absolute dumbest in the country.
IU basketball is a mediocre mid major, has been for the last 30 years. It’s truly amazing the fan support it gets considering what a shitty product they turn out every year.

Banks and Gunn need to go neither has showed anything why the should be playing at Indiana. The roster needs major rehaul more shooters and ball handlers. If those guys transfer we could have 7 open scholarships and depending on Newton if he is Creek 2.0 maybe 8.
 
Not with how terrible the BIG is. Need to go 13-7 or 14-6. Our NET is horrible.
NET is dumb. Even dumber that if we win our next 3 by an average of 30 we will jump 50ish spots.

No mercy in the next few games, run that score up!!
