We are gonna play hard.

Everyone keeps banging on woody. One thing his teams have done, that Archie’s and some of creans did not, is play hard all year long. Archie’s teams legit quit every year. Watching Romeo and co in TOs made me wanna murder someone. No passion, no heart. That shit drives me nuts. When I care more than you it’s a problem.

Every woody team will die for him. I mean watching Kanaan play d like that vs sisters of the poor made me way more excited than it should have. He was all in already, great to see.

Woody is not gonna have some great new offense this year, small wrinkles will be all he adds. To expect more is setting yourself up for disappointment. What we can count on is this team giving max effort throughout the year. Will take some time to gel, but should be playing its best ball sometime in 25’.

Everyone on the planet says we have the most talent on paper. We get that talent to play harder then everyone else, that’s gonna put us in a good position no matter if we are out schemed on the sideline.

Go Hoosiers let’s mess around this year and do some damage.
For amount of money they are being paid you would certainly expect them to play hard
 
Overall, I would agree that Woodson coached teams have played hard most of the time. I suspect the inconsistencies come from things other than effort.

One of the things I admire the most about Woodson's teams is their resiliency. As you said, they don't quit on seasons. And I'd say they don't normally quit on games either. Even the blowout season ending games they've had a couple times since he arrived, effort really wasn't the issue, seemingly.
Nope. Effort not the issue. Just missing free throws. Having turnovers. Lack of effective guard play and generally no one able to hit a shot outside the paint. Other than that, the teams have been great! LOL.
