Yes, I still think the Hoosiers will still squeak into the big dance but you would have to be insane to think that they can advance very far even if they have to play a play in game. No, I don't blame Woodson for all of the failures other than in not bringing in good talent and yes, that includes the transfers who certainly did not distinguish themselves most of the season. When you miss layups in crunch time, when you miss wide open threes in crunch time, when you miss free throws in crunch time, you can't always blame the coach. Yes, the team improved defensively but you still have to put the ball in the basket in pressure situations. When shots are made, it almost seems like everyone is surprised, even the shooter. Running designed plays for outside shooters is a foreign idea to this team because we have no outside shooters.. I wish I saw hope for next year but that is very difficult if not impossible to see.
Tournament and the future.

I used to think that, and sometimes still do but the coach need to teach them to make free throws. The coach needs to run an offense that puts players in postitions where they can take advantage of what skills they do have. The coach needs to construct lineups that complement each other and play well together. We do have outside shooters, we have Goode and Mgbako and even Galloway and Leal, but they are only good when they get their shot. Coach needs to run plays that get them their shot.
I beg to disagree regarding hope for next year. I guarantee the IU fan base will start saluting any warm bodies that are run up the flag pole in the off season, coach and players alike. Hope always abounds for those wearing crimson-colored glasses. It's so INDIANA!
I am sensing total satire here which I applaud but what does it say about your bench when two starters total 5 points in a tournament playoff game and the bench hardly plays.
I'm sensing a Purdue little bro running over to IU board. Same as it ever was.
Hell ya. We rule the NOT season. We beat a #1 seeds ass in the NON season!!!
What "return" do they get an any real sense anyway? Just the satisfaction of winning some games? What's that worth to someone donating Ks or Ms of dollars? I guess maybe it's a write-off for them?
