Dumb would be an improvement
Really? Starting this shit already? For a coach who has his own recruits as freshmen?
Indiana led 28-14 with 6:59 to go in ethe first half.
Indiana trailed 50-59 with 7:55 to go in the game.
1 Indiana time-out was called in that stretch...when the lead was cut to 30-23...
Apologists cite fatigue caused by the shortened bench due to injuries...while ignoring that the next timeout would not be used until 1:18 remaining in the game...

Maybe there should be a Sniveling Little Bitches thread for the people who lose their minds after every loss. It will be pretty popular. There are a lot of them here.
If you are looking for rational talk about IU basketball there are a lot better places than this board. If you want good entertainment and watch trolls come out of the wood work this is the place for you.
Why is it ‘dumb’ to point out that the game incurred a 23 point swing...and the loss of a 7 point lead to a 9 point deficit...with a team dealing with injuries and fatigue...while not using a timeout to break momentum, make adjustments, or give the guys who are gassed a breather?
You are clearly disappointed in how your thread is going so you decided to chum the water.
Because there were 4 TV timeouts and halftime during the run...that's why.
A big red buffalo would be the perfect mascot for that group.
you do realize that is half of the amount of game clock time, dont you?
12 of those minutes being to start the 2nd half...
Lol...good one.
A disoriented old man or this might be a good one for your group:

ya, this dumpster fire could still get a 5 seed? get a little healthier and smarter and get a 4?
sorry this is so hard for you guys. i guess you thought a team who missed the last two tournaments would win it all this year. weird.

Some of us would like to not have to wait half a decade for success other programs enjoy far more quickly and regularly. Everything is a grind at IU. Allen needs more time. Archie needs more time. BS.
If we miss the tournament this year and next he could be on the hot seat but I don't see it. Hard to win on the road will be fine..
By year two a good coach has established a clear system and style of play and demonstrated marked improvement. IU has not gotten better under Allen. What is IU’s identity under Archie? Kentucky went to the Final Four in Cal’s second year. Roy Williams took over an NIT team and two years later won a national title. Hell even Painter went from 9 to 22 wins.
Lol...good one.

The season's not over yet, you don't think this IU team will win 22 games? Roy took over a loaded roster from a former coach and Cal brought 2 future NBA hall of famers with him in DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall to go with Patrick Patterson/Jodi Meeks.
Geez, lose to 2 top Big10 teams on the road in year two and people are already done with Archie. It isn't anyone's fault that your expectations weren't realistic coming into the season. We've had at least 5 guys out with injuries all year and our bench can't score, yet we are 14th in sagarin, 19th in net, ranked in both top 25s ect... He's clearly improving the roster, it takes a few years to build a program, and we are still almost assuredly a tournament team this year. Some of you are just looking for something to cry about, this fanbase is insane.

It’s not losing it’s how we lose. No apparent fight in team or coach. Man up Archie. You gotta own this Your teams are regularly not prepared.
Some of the posters here are slow to learn. They think IU is a top team in our own conference. We may have to draw it out for some of them in crayon.
I think one poster claimed we would “cruise” in this game.
Perhaps an Athletic Director that has some experience and expertise in say “athletics” might make some sense.
Honeymoon is over folks. Archie has been here almost two seasons now and we aren’t any better. Looks like Fred screwed up both major coaching hires. We can’t even beat Nebraska now. They have won three in a row against us. Pathetic.
Archie’s not the guy. I had high hopes. We are just flat out a poor basketball team. Tired of hearing about the injuries. We don’t have one player who can shoot consistently and it puzzles me why he continues to play green. I reiterate my post from Friday. College is more about talent now than coaching. Nebraska is more physically talented. Our team not only lacks talent but heart and that’s on the coach.
