Unintelligent, soft, lazy, and poorly coached.

Top 25? 2nd in the Big Ten? My @ss…
I’m confused. Beat the spread by a lot. Shot 52%, 47% from 3, over 80% at the line. Outrebounded them and 11 turnovers. Very physical game but I’m not exactly sure what we’re complaining about. I guess maybe not putting them away when we had the chance, but I liked much of what I saw.

I’ve been highly critical of IU and I’m doubtful Woody is the guy. However, I’m not disappointed in IU’s play vs SC. Biggest criticism was lack of defending the 3 which is Woody’s calling card. Otherwise I thought they played fairly well.

Gotta agree. Pretty good game overall. No need to pick this one apart.

Balanced scoring. Ballo was very active down low. Got up and down. Hit shots. Didn't force too much.

There were miscues still but a pretty good win and SC had a lot of size and talent. Pringle was exceptional in the tourney last year, for example.
 
Lots of self-delusion all over the place here. Or maybe this fan base has just been dumbed down by so many years of futility. You have to know what you’re seeing from this team right now isn’t quality basketball. My prediction for the Bahamas? We might beat Louisville. Don’t expect much else…

It's the opposite. People are watching, and many are optimistic about the improvement and looking forward to more basketball.

And then there are others that are "dumbed down" by feelings and negativity.
 
A question for Cananagh! In another thread you said that South Carolina’s backcourt was bad. Yesterday South Carolina got nothing out of their front court. The were carried by their backcourt. What is your take,
1. SC’s backcourt is much better than you thought.
2. IU’s backcourt is much worse than all of us think.
3. Mike Woodson’s defense can’t guard the 3.
4. SC just played far better than expected.
5. Wisconsin’s jinx lives on through Lamont Paris.

Me, I go with door #1, and a healthy kick of #3.
 
I'll be objective about them.
And I'm a move on from Woodson..
But I've never ever been against winning...
Solid win yesterday ...
agreed. And yesterday I thought SC looked poorly coached in comparison.
It was good to see Kanaan find a little offense. Good to see 5 guys in double figures. Good to not turn it over and maintain a lead. Could have been worse

SC shot 8/29 from the 3 line…..
