Quit scheduling big games against good teams

[Harry Hondo]

Do you know X’s status?

Out until January, I believe. If he doesn’t play Saturday there’s no need to play him against weak competition - just let the ankle fully heal. High ankle sprains take time.

Getting beat by 20-30 points against good teams does nothing for the program except continued embarrassment. Please stop

Play only cupcakes or the School for the Perpetually Poor Handmaidens? That's a plan to never make the Big Dance nor get better........

What a dumb take. You were clearly far too emotional Saturday.

He's been all over the place about scheduling. Probably more than these too.

Both undefeated and looking solid. Both teams are organized and well coached. They have both played good schedules. Newer coaches too. Why can’t Indiana get any better and play a tougher schedule

What a sweet schedule if we play Kansas, Arizona, and either Duke or UNC next year!!! Awesome

Both of those were also thread starters. LOL

Or Purdue right?

Oh that team we swept last year?

That same one? I mean if that’s your thing, knock yourself out.

The worst thing about the blowouts is how it will impact selection Sunday....especially if IU is Bubblicious.

Maybe but NET is capped at 10 points and committee has routinely indicated they will not select in a manner that encourages blowouts. But, I guess if IU had an identical rating as another bubble team but they were beat by Auburn by only 20 pts then impossible not to consider as a tie breaker.

Football selection is something different.

Ouch. Even worse. Love it!

Nobody is saying play cupcakes but you can play middle of the pack power 5 teams like Missouri instead of loading up on uconn and kansas. Getting smashed by 30 does not help you make the dance either.
