Just burn it to the damn ground. JFC.

[Wiedersehen]

We’ve got one NCAA tournament win since 2016. One! We’ve got one sweet 16 in the last decade. One!

We can sit here and spam the board making fun of Purdue until we’re blue in the face, but we’ve got serious problems as well. They’ve won twice as many tournament games as we have while losing to those three double digit seeds.

I’m absolutely disgusted tonight. This tournament was for the taking and we lay a freaking egg to Miami. By two touchdowns! And this isn’t the Orange Bowl in the late 80s. When will this younger generations of our fanbase see any damn success? I’ll be grey at the pace we’re going.

Ugh. Next year going to be any better? Hopefully JHS returns. He could use another year.

Once IU had a chance to extend a lead they went stupid and quit playing defense. Lack of coaching showed up again.

I think Kopps 1 on 3 trey after the steal from 25 feet was sorta the turning point, if there was one.

but truth be told, MIA was always on the verge of housing us. they're better.

Woodson isn't going anywhere..
He'll have to retire..
Hopefully it's like 2 or 3..yrs
And he doesn't decide to really ride that cash cow..
He's got whole lot of work to do.
To even make Indiana a tournament team next yr..

The fact that your last statement is even remotely true at IU is pathetic. What the hell happened to us?

Teams that can rebound, play defense and shoot could have.

How about every shot that Tamar took tonight?
I think we had a small lead and Tamar thinks it is a great idea to come down and just launch a 3 from nearly midcourt. He is an absolute deficit to this team. Every time he touches the ball it’s frightening.

The play in game shouldn’t count. We’ve got one win that I’ve scored points on in my bracket game over the last 7 years.

No doubt 15 was like Rodman out there. ALways had position on TJD and Race.

[IUNorth]

We’re gonna get a chance to see what Woody is all about next year.

I personally think we already know. He’s not a good game/college bball coach in more ways than he is good. And he does being good things! And we are improved, overall versus when he arrived. But man, we’ve been waaaaayyyyy too erratic. I suspect that’s because he isn’t a very good foundational, program builder. He’s never had to do it before. So I’m guessing he doesn’t know how to do it.

But, he’s had a very specific core group of players he’s been coaching. It is possible they’re the “problem”. I can’t stomach the notion that TJD is a problem, in any way. But others, I could be convinced I’m sure.

Well next year he won’t have hardly any of them. It’s all on him. Because if we’re as up and down and inconsistent next year, we might win less than 15 games all year.

The inability to block out was baffling. Some campers in the lane helped them

I agree. But one stat that jumped off the page that won’t get a lot of publicity is not a single player other than Trayce made a FT the entire game. And perhaps even more impressive in a bad way is Trey was the only other player to attempt one. Not a single IU player other than Trayce even attempted a free throw in the entire second half. The other stat that jumps off the page is ZERO bench points. Frankly, these have both been an issue entire season and when it comes tourney time, your issues are exposed and tonight they were expose for sure. But like you said, the story was the rebounds / 2nd chance points.

Exactly, the inevitable was coming. It was a dumb shot, but could have dropped.

You can’t win a game like that with the all Xanax team.

Recruit some f’kn guards man.

Bench points = 0. Just unreal

It was a problem against Kent State, too. If you give up 19 ORBs, very low chance you win. Their poor shooting bailed us out.

Wasn't much rebounding to do on the defensive end, they were
hitting everything, mostly layups.

I’d take Sampson back considering the rule changes that the NCAA has made. Dude is a Saint compared to what they’re doing in places like Miami and Lawrence.

Exactly. Guards and upgrade 3 position. All of these need serious help. X being back will help. But I really don’t care for his on court antics. Concerning that banks and Gunn did not see more action this season. Would have helped a ton for next season.

 

[IUNorth]

Every single thing that happened…and I’m worried will happen in the future, can be summed up by we’re just not consistently good, or bad, at anything.

We had multiple games this year where we ate up the boards, against better rebounding teams than Miami. But for whatever reason, the last 3 games we’ve been horrible on the boards. It cost us against PSU and Miami, we overcame it against Kent State.

Defense and rebounding are the “easiest” things to be consistently good at. Demand it early in your training camp days. Never let up on that. And it becomes a culture and habit. With TJD, Race, Malik, Jordan, and Kaleb…and athletic guards like JHS and Trey…that could have been a foundational thing Woody could have focused on…and we likely would have been dominant at it.

But alas, he didn’t…or wasn’t able to…and we get punked by lesser teams. Sucks.

Miami’s been tough all year. Their guards are leaps and bounds better than ours. We failed to utilize our size advantage inside and they outhustled us from the opening tip. Better team won tonight.

Not as familiar with McDermott, but Musselman definitely isn’t known for having very high IQ teams.

Chicken shit viewpoint…

Wong is better than our guards in a lot of ways. Pack isn’t. And none of the rest are either. There was 1 NBA first round guard in the game tonight. And he wasn’t wearing green.

They were better tonight because of energy and focus.

Just accepting that is weak.

Why not? What have you seen from IU players, minus TJD, that make you feel they aren't? Because some website tells you they aren't? Time and again this team has shown it's limitations.
