sounds like we're in general agreement......I hate winter, but starting to get itchy for bball season.NCAA is the floor for me.
OOC - Play like Indiana. No embarrassing loses
B1G - Play like Indiana. Top five (Hate to lower expectations but we've been so shitty it's an improvement)
BTT - No first round loss
NCAA - Show up and surprise someone. (Depending on draw sweet 16)
Which doesn't really answer the question. I guess we can infer that simply making the NCAAT would be a success to you since it would be overachieving.I expect we will miss the tournament again.

So missing the tournament would mean to you that we played to our potential. I won't expect you to be critical of the team if we meet your expectations.I expect we will miss the tournament again.
NCAA TournamentMy only goal is to make the tournament. If we do that, I will consider the year a "success" as it is something we can continue to build on.
how does this new, more motion less spacing offense work
Dumb.All comes down to the impact Mike Roberts makes on the team...he’ll either guide them there, or he wont.
IU was close to being in the NCAAT last year except for the OSU game at AH...and maybe one or two in the meltdown. IMHO neither of those will happen this year. So I can't see how IU won't make the NCAAT this year. That is the floor.
IU will do better than just making the tourney. They will improve over the year. So...at least 6th in the B1G and 5th would be success...I believe that they could be 4th. Winning the first game in the NCAAT is a given. Not sure about the second game...win that and they are really something.
Remember, the NCAAT is about a team hitting their stride and playing great defense. If they have shooters, a leader and playmakers this could be the year for catching lightening in a bottle. When Archie has a talented mature team, they excel. But, maybe all that well jell in 20-21.
Win one in the dance. Maybe two.
And still, I'm not happy with just that. And don't get injured.
You must believe that the issue last year was the talent of the players on the team...I dont.Dumb.

No reason to name call.I think you have supplanted fpeaugh as the biggest dick on this board.
Congrats.
Beat the teams we should beat OOC and one good win. Minimize loses to bottom half B1G and pick off a few good wins. Win at least 1 B1G tourney game, and avoid popping the bubble. Close win to make it to 32 in NCAA tourney, but just making it is a step in the right direction.In reference to OOC, Conference Standings, BTT, and NCAAT results?
I want to look back at this in April to compare what we fans hoped for and what was achieved. Please be reasonable and no HATING! Haha jk.

One of many variations of this.
If you remember RMK motion, he also ran "pairs" at times but with both players in a pair screening. I would also imagine that Miller would use his bigs more as scorers than Bennent does in his version.
One of the recruiting negatives he (TB) has is how he uses his bigs. All they do is screen and rebound.
Not saying were running the exact offense, just saying this is likely close. We already use elements of it. Everyone does...Example: the play with Phin coming off a flair screen early in sets. I know you remember seeing it .. we ran it all the time.
Miller may do many things differently. Bielien, Coach Pop, Brey, Bennett all do different things out of it ..

Mike Roberts was the only addition to make changes to the biggest weakness for the Hoosiers. He will either benefit the team, or he won’t.
I hope he does...past Hoosiers love him...he was praised by former and opposing staffs for his coaching...Im ready to see how he can upgrade the results of the past two seasons.
Don't play stupid, either that or you are stupid.
First, your post had nothing to do with the title of the thread. Not a big deal, it happens all the time but....
It was just another excuse to rag on Archie by stating the absurd notion that the the third assistant would be the key to a successful season.
Lately, you have taken ANY opportunity to be this boards PITA. Thus, you are #1 or at worst 1A with fpeaugh and the "name calling".
I agree and that is why the pressure will be very high for Archie this season. I like when pressure is high, shows what you are made of. No excuse for this year.Must make the dance. Anything less and we're new coach shopping soon. I think we make the dance and finish top 5 in B1G. Outside of MSU we're as talented as anyone.
I agree that the last two years have been unsatisfactory and absolutely need corrective action. But I disagree that the "...team is a dumpster fire."He has every right to think this team is a dumpster fire. Archie has done nothing at IU to prove he is the right guy for the job. If he misses the tournament he will most likely be fired and the program will be dead in the water.
I tend to think this is the year he starts a nice little tradition of being relevant. But many many rational people would see this team as not relevant and IU as a dumpster fire. All you need to do is look at National projections for IU. I read Rutgers was projected higher than us by one site. I would have bet my life that would have never happened 4 years ago. Rutgers!!!!! For what it’s worth I think they will make the tourney this year or next.
