one helluva comeback. Just no size at the end w/o Gamble, Race or Juwan. 82-79 the final. Glad I did not turn it off.

You can’t in reality and seriousness blame the season on our inept backcourt that Woody and Staff chose to go to war with. I’ve seen your crew defend this by saying “woody was showing faith/AND/nobody would commit to IU with X and Gallo in the backcourt” NONE of this jives with reality. Woody needed to just suck up his pride and admit he didn’t put a good enough team together from jump. No one else to blame. **** happens. But Woody and staff completely fumbled the off-season and roster construction and if he had fallen on the sword people might have more respect for him.

You're calling people dense...

He has his chance since he didn't get fired. You seem to be trying to tell people they are wrong to be skeptical of his coaching. You're not going to change the minds of anyone with your excuses. The team next year will either convince people or not, but you won't no matter how much you defend Woodson. Also, it's not just last year. Even his first two seasons, while better than Miler (not hard), didn't exactly build confidence that he could do the job well. So this isn't just 1 bad year and people turned on him. This is people unconvinced through 2 years then last year. To add to the disaster that was last year, he repeatedly refused to take any blame for it, always blaming others and often throwing the players under the bus. You like to make it seem that last year was the 1st year that there were complaints about the offense and not taking enough 3-point shots. That has been consistent under Woodson. In '22-'23, they were 48th in 3-point percentage but 341st (!) in attempts. Should they have been taking more 3-pointers that year? Absolutely. You like to point out Purdue and their shooting. They had Edey which tremendously helped their outside shooting. IU had TJD which had a similar effect. They were able to shoot well despite Woodson's scheme, not because of it. ("It's not my job to get him shots.") This showed last year. So not only did he not get better guards, he didn't adjust his scheme to compensate for the ones he had.

It would be a little different if his post had a little bit of validity, but whatever conversation he had that led him to believe those things either happened in a dream, or under extreme intoxication.

He had three off seasons to get the backcourt of his choosing prior to last year. You consistently blame the exact players he chose to recruit and/or keep, yet absolve MW of all blame. How you don't see your hypocrisy is baffling.

I'll continue keeping everyone updated. Y'all are extended family at this point!

The two goal tending calls against Quinn were terrible, especially the second one.

ffS!

I’d turn this off but it might be the last time we get to see yogi play live! Shitty thought!

Mullins at the tbt game tonight

Are we talking the all black Smell the Glove cover or the original? :)

Rolling Stone Magazine's Best album covers of all time: 1. Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures 2. The Beatles- Abbey Road 3. Sly and the Family Stone- There's a Riot Goin' On 4. Pink Floyd- The Dark Side of the Moon 5. The Notorious B.I.G.- Ready to Die 6. Patti Smith- Horses 7. Funkadelic- Maggot Brain 8. The Clash- London Calling 9. Cyndi Lauper- She's So Unusual 10. Nirvana- Nevermind I'm not very aesthetically minded on this sort of thing, barely remember album covers at all, but has the ascension of online music diminished them to such a degree that the last great album cover was damn near 30 years ago? Or is this just what's left of Rolling Stone being what's left of Rolling Stone? Thoughts?

Sorry to disappoint you but 16-4 and a record worthy of a 2 seed isn't disappointing anyone in this thread that wants to see MW gone. What's more likely if IU would go 25-6 and fire MW fans being disappointed or 20-11(13-7) finishing 5th in the B1G and the excuse makers making excuses? That is an easy one. I mean you are already paving the way for excusing the "best and most versatile roster" in the B1G to underachieve because they lose to better lesser talented teams than school _____X_________. Oh and your so many variables is literally one thing which should be insignificant given that IU has the "best and most versatile roster."

I think the staff is going to go all-in on Harlason and Mullins. Would be surprised if we don't get at least one.

I've never been as high on Sisley as some others have been. If he wasn't a Southern IN kid I wouldn't particularly care if we recruited him or not. Was told by the same person that IU has a great shot at Haralson if he does indeed play in college. Sounds like OTE could be on the table.

Ran into an old friend directly affiliated with Indiana Elite this weekend and asked him for an honest opinion on where he thinks the 17U trio is going to end up. Mullins---Indiana. Dad is loving the recruiting process and being the center of attention, but says Braylon is a momma's boy and going out of state is likely to be the deal breaker. Moreno--His gut says Kentucky. Kentucky has two blue chip in-state recruits this year and one of them is going to end up at UNC/Alabama. The optics of losing a 2nd (Moreno) are not good. Says UK will pull out all the stops to keep him home. Sisley--was surprised by this but said ND or Michigan State. Says Trent isn't as high on Indiana as people want to believe. His family, especially his dad, aren't thrilled with the idea of him going to Purdue and ND or MSU is a compromise.

So did these other schools Duke UNC Syracuse Villanova

This thread will not stop, IMO! He isn’t a good X’s and O’s guy or at least hasn’t been up to this point and it took him 4 years to finally get roster construction but the jury is still out whether he can sustain but he does seem to be a fairly decent to above average recruiter and player developer. Also, I will give him props that he seems to care for his players but the entire thing goes away because of his holier than thou attitude, his God like/walk on water complex and this entitlement that he thanks he has and the bow down and kiss the ring personality that he has. He could have saved this season last year and fans would have accepted not making the tournament if he would have accepted the blame and just admitted he made mistakes with roster construction and not playing his best players to beat those mediocre teams like a drum but he didn’t but instead blamed the fans and others! Only thing we heard was “He done his job” lol

This morning was my last day of radiation treatment! Go back in 4 weeks for a follow up and back to Indy in September for another. Hopefully can move on from here!

After 3 years of Edey being allowed tp commit assault and battery on both ends of the floor with hardly a call, Ballo should never be in danger of fouling out. The BIG being the BIG, I fully expect this will be the year they rediscover the whistle though.
