So, Newkirk is still terrible... Please leave him on the bench.

Newkirk would make a solid 7th or 8th off bench. Starting him makes zero sense.
The two SENIOR guards blew the last possession by being selfish. No leadership there.
This team needs the infamous Bob Knight angry halftime speech. Arch needs to light into these guys. McRoberts should be allowed step out of the room during it too.
These guys should "run til they can't eat supper," if there's another live ball turnover!
Kidding of course, but wow we are soft at times.

He's great 50% of the time, and terrible 50% of the time,
Kids refuse to put in effort after big win.13 turnovers, for 18 Mastadon points.
Coming into the game:
RJ.....25 assists, 27 TOs
GG....28 assists, 22 TOs
JN....30 assists, 21 TOs
and not getting better tonight.
These guards are so f#@(&^# frustrating
Uncontested 3’s. FW ball movement is much better than IU’s . Archie should be able to beat this team with an intramural team. He’s not getting it done
Is there any particular reason why you don’t show up on this board until we are losing? You do this for football too. Also, an intramural team? That’s just stupid.
But I guess we should fire him. Who should we hire? Based on your previous posts, you appear to be an athletic genius. Who are some candidates to replace Archie?
And I wonder why I had a bad feeling about this game? Put in the walk-ons and bench everyone else...
BOOOOOO.... not Indiana basketball....
BOOOOOO.... not Indiana basketball....
This has to be the worst group of guards in Indiana basketball history. The level of basketball IQ among the group is embarrassing. Thanks Crean.
Is there any particular reason why you feel the need to stupidly insert yourself into any thread where even the slightest criticism of IU occurs? Is it not enough that you’re the self appointed embellisher here that no one takes seriously? Do you really need to be the annoying, yippy little dog that bothers everyone constantly, too? Why not take a step or two back and let everyone have an opinion, even if it leaves you in tears.
I think teams generally get their energy from their guards.
In Johnson, Green & Newkirk we have 3 guys who are not 100% committed to winning.........yes, they'd rather win than not. Bur when they don't, they don't seem to take it personally. It's just too much work for them to play all of the time with total energy and focus.
I do have an honest question here:
Archie coached a fantastic game against ND in a game we really shouldn't have won, at least on paper.
We turn around and completely mail it in this game. If the last game was due to coaching, how do we look at this one? Players? Coaching? Preparation? All the above?

I am very disappointed in Green and if he does not start playing better he might need to look elsewhere like Jones did.
Last year:
Wins - players
Losses - CTC
This year:
Wins - CAM
Losses - CTC...and players
Congratulations, you’re bragging about you being right and us loosing. Good job!
There are posters here that used to cheer for Hoosier losses. I know...crazy!
There's a bad case of cancer on this team... figure out who and/or what it is and eradicate it with predjudice....
I'm not hating on Crean, but it is amazing that the same coach could have recruited 3 guards with the same careless, indifferent attitude........there just aren't that many guards with D1 talent that have that approach.
CAM missed a chance to bench them all and send a message. This game is a complete disgrace to the IU fans paying to see them live.
It’s not all on the players. Never is. This team looks just like they did for Cre
That’s not unique to Archie. It’s up to the coach to get th best out of his players.
