Those guys were excited to play before, during and after! Coach’s personality also translates to the players for a lot of these successful teams!
FAU vs IU: One Big Difference!
- Thread starter Hoosiervannah
- Start date
It’s the lack of mental toughness. It takes certain types to play at a fishbowl. IU has failed to recruit these types for the most part of 25 years, minus a few years of course.
IU fans have high expectations, IU Bball program “had” low standards. I think it’s getting corrected.

That Woody is quite the firecracker!?
Honest question: How many guys does FAU lose off of the roster this year (not portal, but out of eligibility) ? And what is their current roster construction ? How many of their guys are FAU recruits/signees vs. transfers. I love the way they play and I've watched all their tournament games but I haven't really paid attention to their roster construction.
That's impressive. It might be difficult for anyone to pry May away next year, though FAU might have to hit the boosters and alumni up for serious cash to retain him.
IU throws gasoline all over that “fishbowl.”
Going to need a culture change to win big.
Teams in these rounds are TOUGH. IU is soft with too many players living it up in the fanboy circus. They need to recruit winners and cut off the fanboy access to the program. Too many distractions.
If they pony up the money I think he will stay. But bigger question is the portal and $$$ for someone like Davis. Lots of rich folks in Boca. But they are fair weather.
Gasoline on a fishbowl is a perfect way to describe this phenomenon lol
I totally agree with everything you said
You should post less!
You shouldn’t post at all. A lot of people agree with me so you’re out voted. I plan to post more.
I have seen this stated many times but how do you define "culture change"?
Or let's go with, you are MW, how do you go about changing the culture?
Not to mention St. Peter’s coach took the job at Seton Hall, barely went .500, and didn’t sniff the tournament. These flash in a pan hires rarely work out like people think they do.
I don't think many people even follow those hires. I couldn't have told you where the St Peters guy went, but then we all see the next year's bright, shiny coach!
Exactly, you're the official excitement level evaluator .. how could we not respect that.
Why thank you! That being the case I’ve determine that you are perhaps the most boring poster in the history of the board
.
Yeah but how excited am I?Why thank you! That being the case I’ve determine that you are perhaps the most boring poster in the history of the board
About as excited as watching this Creighton-sdsu game. Like 3 for 111 shooting.
SDSU looks like a football team playing in a rec league. They make every game ugly ..
Well they are at this time - aren’t they? Both teams played really hard so since you have appointed me as the excitement level rater - I’m saying they we’re both equally excited prior to the game.SDSU was by far the more excited team.
I read the first 2 rounds were the lowest percentage shooting games since the 1987 tournament.
They both couldn’t hit the flat side of barn. Neither one deserved to win. Flat ugly.
Creighton guy deserved the foul. He was constantly chasing that guy. Terrible position leads to fouls.
I was only guessing ... I can't gauge excitement level while sitting on my ass watching a TV.
I understand what you’re saying. There is no solid tool or metric to measure this except what we see while the players/games are televised. I do think there is a general consensus that Indiana often came out flat - getting behind in games, not going after it hard - e.g. the awful rebounding in the Miami game. Perhaps there is nothing to the concept of being ready to play. Maybe that’s just bs. Perhaps we just have inferior players who were never going to be able to keep up with the better tournament teams.
Archie Miller was one of those flashes in the pan. At the time I was pleased with the hire.
