You need to include Archie in that list of people who didn’t think Race could help out. He played a combined 19 total minutes the 6 games after Wisconsin (11 of the minutes were in the Rutgers game, which we won by 15). He scored one point in those games. He will be lucky to play 10 minutes a game, this year, if everyone is healthy.
What would you consider a successful season with this team?

When Race was in, he defended and rebounded. He will play unless Brunk, Smith, Davis, and TJD all prove to be studs.
So the only contributors were Green for 7 games, Davis for 5, and Rob for 3. Got it.
Missing NIT games is kind of beside the point. The problem was we were not in the NCAA.
I’m not sure if any of the players in front of him are studs. I do think all of them are better. IU will need people to score, next year. In Race’s limited time he struggled to score. I think he’s a year away from contributing meaningful minutes. I wasn’t impressed by him like some of you guys are.
Al missed the first game and Phin missed 3 games around Christmas. Romeo didn’t miss any regular season games.
I was very impressed by Race. His defense against Happ and Wisconsin was outstanding, and Race has much better shooting fundamentals than he has displayed so far in limited healthy action.
Smith is the weak link offensively. Not sure how you can play 4 against 5 offensively against good B1G teams in a tight game you need 5 players who can actually make a shot or a FT. Unless Smith transformed offensively over the Summer he is the weakest scholarship offensive player on the team, who is not even guarded on the perimeter by opposing B1G teams. From what I saw Race is likely better defensively also. Smith is not a 5 or a true 4, and can not score in the wing as a 3. Smith may be a match-up dependent Hybrid 4 to rebound, block shots, play D, and run the floor for dunks. I really like a healthy DeRon, TJD, Brunk, and Race front line. Most front line depth of the Archie era.
I didn't include them because they didn't start at the end of the year when they were healthy.
Ouch. Looks like you were 0-5. AGAIN. Will you ever get something right?
That’s dumb.
He was answering the QUESTION POSED, NOT making a prediction.
Read much, dumbbell?
The title of the thread:
What would you consider a successful season with this team?
His answer:
I would tell you to try to catch up as you're often telling others but you've had 6 months to process this and still can't comprehend that this isn't a prediction, much less a guarantee, I doubt you'll ever get it.
Once again you prove that reading comprehension just isn't your thing.
Edit: Also, the season isn't over yet. With 6 regular season games left and 16 wins, all but the Top 5 in conference are still possible. At this point they don't look likely but they are certainly possible.

Sounds like that “itch” might be turning into full-blown shingles this time of year. This shit is excruciating to watch.
Yes - an apt description of the season might as well be “shingles with a case of kidney stones and gout.”
You’re upset that you were just as wrong as the other clowns.
Wrong about what? I said before the season that I was waiting for more data before making a judgement one way or another. I never said that he was the coach of the future just like I didn't prematurely declare him a bust. So, no, I'm not "upset" about being "just as wrong" since I didn't have a stance to be right or wrong about. I'm disappointed that Miller wasn't better since I want IU to win and turning over coaches isn't the way to greatness, despite what you may think, so it would have been better if Miller coached the team to a better season this year. Unlike you, I won't root for IU losses.
I notice you didn't address the contents of the post you replied to. Typical of you.
You said Archie was the next HOF coach. That anyone who questioned him was an idiot. You promised that this year would be different. My oh my were you wrong.
You're such a liar. I said no such thing so you're either making it up or confusing me with someone else. You being you, it could be both. In fact, you've gave Miller higher praise when he was first hired than I've ever given him.
The only part of that could be true is me calling another poster an idiot. I have no problem calling you and a few others that because, quite frankly, you are.
He's one of our two resident dunces. He lowers the collective IQ of the room when he walks into it, even if it's empty.
So, if his other three predictions turn out true, he'd be batting .750 which in comparison to your prognostications.......
Still not a guarantee, no matter how much you want it to be and regardless of how many times you bump this post that won't change. This has already been addressed in this very thread the first time you tried to act like this was a guarantee. Also, 3 out of the 4 are still possible.
Not really. Make good on items 3 and 4 and item 1 takes care of itself.
Guarantee (n): a formal promise or assurance.
So, show me the guarantee. It's not even a prediction, dumbass.
Words have meanings, kid. Go sit back at the child's table and study your vocabulary list.
Are you senile, illiterate, or did you just shit your pants again?
I once thought that he was pretending to be stupid as part of his trolling schtick. I didn’t think a real person could be so dumb. I was mistaken - he truly is a dunce.
The funny thing is, feepaw guaranteed Billy Donovan was in Bloomington to become the IU coach, and that Lander was going to UL, not IU. Those were "guarantees" that he made.
How was I wrong, dumbass? The topic was what it would take to be a successful season. I gave my definition of a successful season. I didn't guarantee or even predict a successful season. I never said IU would have a successful season.
You, on the other hand, guaranteed Donovan would be our coach. Hell, you guaranteed he was in Bloomington to accept the job. You also guaranteed that Lander was going to UL, then went back and tried to delete the post with the guarantee.
You should probably sit this one out and let those who don't have smooth gray matter post for awhile.
Too bad the Donovan thing didn’t work out. We wouldn’t be in this mess, that’s for sure.
Get serious. You are either a liar or an idiot. Actually, you may be both. You've made numerous guarantees that proved bogus. That’s a fact. You’ve claimed others have made guarantees and your claims have proved bogus. That’s a fact. Explain why you’re here. I think it’s for our entertainment, but maybe you think you contribute something worthwhile. I’m curious.
Find one, sport.
Or give the lap top back to your parents before you get cheese doodle dust all over the keys.
