Leal is hurt. Your coaching staff has an empty scholarship because they can't manage a roster.
Tbh, X was very clearly hacked across the arm on the layup, but when the refs don’t like you, you’re not getting many calls.
Have you watched this team? These issues aren't new. When X was out they did the same thing. Kennesaw State and Wright State. That's why there rating is terrible.
I think the F1 led to a 6 pt swing on that possession. Tired of the dumbass play. Put Gunn or Banks in. He does this bush league tough guy crap then has to leave the floor after running into a screen.
Yes. I have watched most every game except for tonight because it's on Peacock. And yes, it's a rinse repeat. Different night. Same team. Same issues. But appears what did this team in tonight was early fouls combined with Woody sending players to the bench vs leaving them in and the game was over at halftime.
They would have fouled out early. We commit too many undisciplined stupid fouls. Has happened all year. We don't move our feet, we grab, and we don't box out.
That’s a shame I was hoping Leal would get a few minutes in his last home game vs PU
I agree 100% on Beard but they IU administration wouldnt even attempt it. He is a bad boy, they would say lol... Its why IU will be stuck in the weeds where they are now years to come.
This team is having problems behind the scenes. Something isnt right. It isnt just Woodson's shortcomings. But it does, fall on the Coach.
It actually is becoming more and more clear as this season unfolds. Dolson has a front row seat for almost every second of every game. I hope he can comprehend exactly what’s unfolding directly in front of him.
There may very well be, but I think this is a coach who's style is to "let things play out" vs extreme discipline to coaching in the moment. In essence, a casual approach to discipline and having teams "perfect" plays and schemes. Combine that with a fair amount of portal players along with young kids and a head case 6th year senior pg and this is what it looks like. There may be things going on behind the scenes that are not positive or beyond the "usual" stuff, but I feel like this is just a case of it is what it is. A bad team. A team that is not put together well and lacking a shooting guard and a point guard who makes the team better. Combine that with poor defense and lack of team leadership and you get what we have. Easy to think it's more than the reality of the situation but sometimes it's just like what Coach Green said famously, "They are who we think they are"!
It’s probably safe to say Sparks will go through life having never worn ballet slippers. He should have stayed at Ball State enjoying the benefits of BMOC.
He has as many nut grabs as he does field goals.
He just has to get them over the hump. I am sure he will at the kohl center. Lol.
We are officially to the point where we are making fun of our coaches ridiculous sayings. I remember this time oh too well with Crean and Archie.
I like Leal, but he never plays. Why spend a scholarship on him? He'll have had 4 years, he already has his degree. If he wants to stay and use his COVID year, I guess he can be a walk-on?
It's what happens when there is no leadership from upperclassmen who care about winning. Leal and Galloway probably do care, but they aren't the ones who can do anything about it ... we have X, who should be that, but is more, if not most, part of the problem
