Say what you want about X
- Thread starter Cavanagh
- Start date
I don't care if they got blown out or not, losing 4 of 5 games is playing bad no matter how you try to frame it. Especially in one of the worst power 5 conferences in the country.
Also, they were favored by 9 not because of anything they did, but because they were playing a team with a putrid 1-7 road record coming into the game.
Cool... good for you...
I disagree.
It was a good win. Quad 1 wins, no matter how you slice them, are good wins.
this season was lost with the 3-game home losing streak, to penn st, northwestern and nebraska, win 2 of those 3 were having a different discussion today. if X played in those games ,I feel like we could have done that, probably should have done it without him.
So Woodson put all his eggs in for a kid who had been hurt since high school and Xavier who hasn't been healthy for two years and passed on a open scholarship to add a quality guard great job Woody. Thank you so much for putting the facts out there.
Hasn't been healthy for 2 years? We started 34 games his first year at Indiana. He was hurt last year for the first time in his college career.
WTF are you smoking?
What's the nd in your name representative of?
Why would any coach go into a season with a guy who was hurt all last season and have no have a backup plan? We had a extra scholarship that he didn't use why? What am I smoking? What are u smoking? You thought Gabe Cupps was ready really?
“Xavier who hasn’t been healthy for two years”
Is Xavier Newton’s nickname? lol
@ndhuntington You completely whiffed on giving an answer that had anything to do with the question.
Which two years has Xavier not been healthy GOING INTO this year?
Which two years has Xavier not been healthy GOING INTO this year?
But yes its true Xavier has missed 2 years in a row being hurt not to mention trusting a pot smoker, wreckless driver, dirty ball grabber player to run your team.
Yeah, that part is clear (now that you've clarified it. That's in bold. Now explain the rest of your illogical argument after that... "Xavier, who hasn't been healthy in two years" This isn't that complicated...what are you referring to by Xavier not having been healthy for two years as of before this season started?
So Woodson was supposed to look into his crystal ball to see that Xavier would have not one but TWO injuries this year that would keep him out for extended periods, neither of which was related to this injury last year?
The conference is rated 2nd by Kenpom, Torvik and NET. Only the Big 12 is rated higher.
So, ugh, yea ....
lol .........
The best quality that cannabis has is its uncanny ability to remove self inserted giant sticks from socially constipated asses ..
You should try some ..
Well, at least I can make a logical argument. I've asked you at least 3 times what you were referring to when you said that Xavier had been hurt for two years and you have yet to address it other than to say you were talking about Newton (yet referring to Xavier by name).
Only thing that bothers me about that is how bad the B1G has done in the tournament. To be fair that’s years past not this year. boy has the B1G not passed the eye test. I guess I’ve fallen off the Woodson wagon.
Yes, a whole bunch of conversation with players during their IU careers over more than a decade.
And, NOTHING to divulge in an online forum. Take it or leave it.
BIG is rated higher than SEC?
They have Tennessee, South Carolina, Bama, Auburn, Kentucky, all having good years. Is it because the fooor of the SEC is bad?
Same for Big East with 3 top 10 teams
The style of play has a lot to do with that. Too much emphasis on post play, and having physical strong wings, and not enough on quickness .. of course as always there's been exceptions.
Yes .. on all three metrics.
And yeah, the quality of teams in the bottom half of those leagues has a lot to do with it.
If Wisconsin sticks as a 6 seed, I hope Kentucky is the 3 seed in their region. Watching those two styles clash would be interesting, to say the least, if they both won their first round games.
This narrative that X was only good in the B1G tournament his first year here is...interesting.
After January 1, 2022 (so conference games only) he averaged 13 points, 5 assists and 2.5 TOs per game. He had 3 pretty bad games in early February as part of a 4-game L streak, but aside from that, he was really good, not just for a 3-game stretch in March.
Hell, the last 5 games of the regular season he averaged almost 20, 6 assists and 3 TOs.
So you have nothing. Figures.
You know you can post quotes without divulging the person's name.
You have no answer, so you offer insults and repetitive claims you can't back up.
If my response was actually stupid, you'd have an answer.
To me x's injury and starting 2 Frosh and 2 Sophomores says it all.
I think it would take a good loss in the BiG final to even sniff a first four invite now.
This team is poorly coached. Unless you subbed in Jason Tatum, they aren't going to the tourney.
The team is historically bad defensively. And somehow, it seems offense is still a huge problem. Like I've said before, the second Ware announces for the draft, that should be the cue to let Woodson go. If you can only get to 0.500 with NBA talent, you're not getting the job done.
Many were available, few were interested. That's a coaching staff's responsibility. Coffee is for closers.
Props to X but this thread is the recency effect illustrated.
I said B10 run because I remembered that he began playing well in the during the B10 season so I was trying to include that as well.
Hes changing this game just like most hes been in this year. He can dance his way right out the front door along with his stupid faces.
