…change your perception of this team? Personally, it’s still going to take more than that for me, but I’m curious how others feel about it.
Would a win on Saturday and then another one on Tuesday against Illinois…
- Thread starter gator mcCluskey
- Start date
Would be a good elixir to the malaise that Woody and team has put fans into this season. Hopefully it happens. His first 2 seasons, the team blew big leads at Iowa both times.
Gotta guard the 3-point line (not a strength of Woody teams) at Iowa to have any chance. That’s how they made their comebacks the last 2 visits. While not known for their post-D (or any D really), Iowa will sag on Ballo and make Gallo, MM, Rice and Goode hit from distance. Gotta knock some down.
Illinois is at home, so would think the team will be ready.

The last 2 have changed my perception, to be honest. Not to where I think we will win the next 2, but that it's possible. For the first time in years, we can consistently put 5 guys on the floor who can score. Our defense is better, lately. That's the main thing that will determine these next 2 games.
Wins over mediocre Rutgers and USC have not changed my perception. Win a natty and then it will change.
I had a conversation with my buddy today and really IU should have already made the decision to move on.
Woody is mid 60s and has proven he doesn’t want to put in the same time as other coaches recruiting and effort wise. There just isn’t a future. Even if we win the rest of our games, this needs to be his last season.
Would be nice if that was made known now, and everyone could get behind the team. There are surely people that don’t know how to cheer right now. Most fans are out on Woodson, but obviously want to win.
For me, go Hoosiers, the rest will figure itself out. I hope Kanaan wakes the F up and woody wins coach of the year. Trains a comin!
Students coming back onto campus this coming weekend with classes starting on Monday
Is Harper playing? We faced them without him last week and made them look ok?
IU needs to win 2 of the next 3 in my view (IA, IL, OSU) to get in contention for a top tournament seed.
That will require a consistent effort in at least one away arena.
Thus far IU hasn’t won enough games they were supposed to lose (save Penn State?)
Compared to what is needed for National Championship contention … the team hasn’t been getting it done
Choices are Talent, Coaching, and (Talent and Coaching).

I don’t think anybody would argue that we don’t have talent and I actually enjoyed watching the team the last couple of games. Trouble is, Woody has been forced to play how many have been asking, due to MR injury. If he pulls his head outta his ass, and sticks with one BIG for the most part, maybe we can be a pretty good team. But I truly believe he will throw Ballo and Malik out there together as soon as Malik is healthy. I have no confidence in our coach. The last two games are accidental and Woody will correct the temporary success.
Need to take care of Iowa. One game at a time. Nothing has really changed goal wise….win the conference. Right now we are still in position. Lose to Iowa and that changes
