I echo the sentiment that I really wanted Archie to be the guy. Even as your typical, high-expectation IU fan, I feel like I’ve been patient- I grew up about 20 minutes from campus and growing up, Dad and I never missed a game. For the first year ever, I’ve intentionally watched only about half of games. I tuned in for Purdue and really wish I hadn’t. We all know what to expect by now and it’s just more of the same, awful product on the floor. It’s totally turned me off. I say all this just because I feel like a lot of Hoosier Nation feels this way. We need someone who can inject new life into the program. I’m a little old school in that I want a coach that will chew kids up and hold them responsible. Unfortunately, I’m not sure that cuts it anymore-kids and parents don’t put up with that like they used to. So I could really get behind someone like CTA, whose players will go to war for them. IUBB doesn’t have that anymore. For me, like others, the list pretty well starts and ends with Beard. I do want to see what he does the rest of this season. I do have pipe dreams like Stevens, but that’s not gonna happen. I’m sorry, but anyone less than Beard is settling, which is what we have become accustomed to as a fan base. Frankly, we shouldn’t have to, but we don’t have that power. Dolson does. Just my two cents... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

At this point in the game, you literally haven’t stopped Williams once in a one-on-one situation...why not make him earn it at the line? This just drives me insane. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

It’s never just one reason, but I’m so sick of not seeing a single guy that looks like he cares. Just once, I want a Dane Fife-like get in your teammate’s face and light him up. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I hate that this is what IU basketball has become. Completely mishandled. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Shocked Trice didn’t get a foul called there. So there’s that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

This is just sickening. Playing well enough to win and will be shocked if we do. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

If that had been Trice, would have been a foul. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

5/11 from three. Miracles do happen! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Coaching has been a strength most of the year, but I’m 100% putting this on them today. Thought defensive effort and tackling was poor. Tuttle didn’t play awesome, but play calling was pretty awful. Just super disappointed. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That 15 yard penalty on the kickoff sure didn’t help Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

He needs to hand the phone to Archie so we can fix his problems too. Had to... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

What the heck was that? Two quickest whistles I’ve ever seen. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That’s just poor coaching. No excuse for the same receiver to run backwards 5 times in one game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

What is wrong with this defense? Just infuriating to watch Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

By far the worst tackling all year Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Also, the refs sucked. I’m sorry and I’m not blaming the loss on them, but it has honestly become the worst part of CBB for me. The stoppage was ridiculous, as was the lack of traveling and amount of fouls called. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Mixed feelings. Proud they competed harder and stayed closer than I thought but also feeling like I look for a lot of moral victories these days. Despite the Debbie Downers, there was a lot of good tonight. It’s a hard team to defend and rebound against and I thought we held our own a big part of the night. FSU is good at home and just a solid program in general. There’s no denying that. But as is so often the case, the truth is somewhere in between the downers and all sunshine. The offense is so often offensive. Where are we without TJD? Man, I just want the excitement back around IUBB like we’ve had for IUFB this year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Would be the first travel they had called all night anyway. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Al reacts slower than my grandmother sometimes Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

If this is one of FSU’s regular crews, no wonder that home streak is so long. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Get away from the freaking monitor. I hate this in CBB Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Most likely, the refs suck! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Even Bilas can’t believe the CFP ranking for IU ha Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

This. Every college ref in America sees that discrepancy and spends the rest of the game evening it up. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

As others have said...#paytheman. Loving watching the best IU football team in my lifetime. Go Hoosiers!!! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
