Winning isn’t everything......

but the will to win is everything.

I don’t believe IU will out score MSU tonight. Yet, IU can put up a good fight if they play to win. I would like to see a complete effort on Offense and Defense. I’m not talking about a moral victory I’m talking about giving it everything you have and being satisfied with your effort.

In my opinion, we don’t match up to the physical play of MSU and I expect us to be out hustled. I hope I am wrong on the hustle. Our physical makeup won’t change but the attitude we take into the contest can certainly be improved.

It’s the only thing

Sparty -15 probably not much of a will there......

I'll wait until after the game to determine that the will to win and effort is missing. In my opinion the will and effort has not been present in recent games but hopefully that will change.

Might as well play Forrester, Moore, and Anderson, and even Race a lot of minutes. They can go into next season with some experience at least.

Probably a 30 point loss tonight on national TV. Would like to be pleasantly surprised with a close game but very sick of "moral" victories for IU football and basketball.

We will be totally embarrased on national tv once again. But surfer fred said we are in a major rebuild so all is good. Fred is the man.

I'll still play Smith - as long as he's giving me effort and sticking with the defensive plan he's been taught.

Don't want to do that? Sit your ass down . . .

Don’t worry he will start loaf back on defense, be lazy guarding the 3ball, miss shots at the rim, but will start second half, it’s what we do best!

If we're getting killed by MSU, I'll be ticked if Archie doesn't sit his ass.

Lose by 30 and it will be over within 5 minutes. This team is so friggin soft it is pathetic. Simply don't care if they lose. Don't see one kid that hates to lose. Complete rebuild is no joke and that includes having to rebuild the IU basketball brand. CAM has a demeanor much like Brad Stevens on the sidelines and i have no idea what he is like in the locker room or in practice but some tough love needs to be on display from here on out. Sit every damn starter until the walk ons play and we get beat by 50. You want culture start it now. May not win another game so let the walk ons play and send the message.

Hope I'm terribly wrong, but this game may cause me to recall the scene in the movie, "Big Fan," when character "Philadelphia Phil" says: "Yah! It's about to get real ****in ugly." About the only thing that could be worse than the final score would be a Keion Brooks sighting seated behind the Sparty bench.

 

[TR32]

I expect a massive blowout. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Tasmanian Devil]

He won’t

We’ll see
