If Woodson gives birth during the tournament, that would definitely be a story.

She comes here after a couple straight games where we take a dump on the court. It’s a process.

Don't say that. She's like Beetle Juice

Why would I want B to happen when it decreases the likelihood of A happening? He got a million dollar raise for making the tournament. Two years later he’s going to get fired for making it? The IU administration has given us zero reason to trust it to do the right thing. From hiring Woodson in the first place, giving him a fat raise for making the tournament, and then bringing him back for a fourth season. The administration has made the wrong move every step of the way. Why believe it’ll be any different now? The team needs to bottom out to leave no doubt of a change.

Everyone wants Woodson gone-1000%. Why wouldn’t everyone want this team in the tournament? The two concepts don’t have to be exclusive of each other.

Yeah that’s not where I’m at.

IU transfer acquisitions linked with the addition of Boykin. Also added in 247's transfer portal ranking for the player by position and overall ranking. Very impressive group. Was shocked to see how high 247 rated Amariyun Knighten (corner from Northern Illinois). I have also added our recruits out, their destination and their portal ratings. Of note: top 500 transfers in: 6. top 500 transfers out: 1 top 100 transfers in: 15. top 1000 transfers out: 2. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HkHOPCXQowEXP28uvzvaAHspgGxBnh9w_jCR8y3U_uM/edit?usp=sharing

Haven't posted much about Indiana basketball since this season has been so depressing. Anyone else give up hope after the Louisville game? That's where I am at. I really dislike saying this but this team is so hard to root for. As much as I'm over Woodson, I'm easily over the players An incredibly entitled group. Ballo, Galloway, Leal, Goode, Mgbako, Reneau. Over them all. Have zero idea what happens between now and the end of the season but I hope this: 1) Woodson and every single assistant coach are gone. Need to clean house. Woodson kept too many Archie hires around. Next coach doesn't need to keep any of these guys around. 2) A heavy majority of the players are gone. I'd like to see Rice with a competent staff and Tucker stick around. Blow it up. At this point, I'm not sure I even care who the coach is. Mark Pope and Pat Kelsey didn't seem like home run hires. Both programs are doing well so far. Just give me someone that lives and breaths college hoops 365/24/7. Give me someone who will hold the players accountable. Brad Stevens, Bruce Pearl, Ben McCollum, Dusty May...I don't care. It should not be that hard to turn this freaking program around. Let Dolson do his job and I'm confident he can find the right guy. I always think there is a moment when you know the coach you have isn't the right guy. I knew Crean would never win here after the Syracuse loss. Just knew he would never have a team that talented again. For Archie it was his second year when they went on that insane losing streak. He lost the team. For Woodson, it was going 0 for 5 on Fland, McNeeley, Queen, Harralson, and Mullins. No matter how nice it looked, you can't build a team on transfers. I hope better days are ahead. BTW I'm in the camp of let Woodson finish this mess. I'm a Cowboys fan. Dallas went 5-3 when Jason Garrett took over as interim coach and for some reason let him stick around 6 years too long...Let's say Rosemond takes over and by some chance they go on some type of run and then decide to hire him. Ask Texas and OSU (in the NFL the Raiders too) how they feel about their interim coaching hires. No thanks.

I think the fear is a tournament birth gives him another year.

Rooting for OSU because they expect to be here and it’s the status quo. ND winning unleashes that “fanbase” and its “fans”. No thanks.

Saw on Twitter that Matt Weaver wrote he isn’t going to PSU. I haven’t seen the article/post though.

It might be by the admin - the people in control. There's absolutely no trust in the administration to do what needs to be done. Rooting for IU to lose/not make the tourney is heartbreaking but if there's even a .00001% chance of him staying with a tourney birth, I can't get excited after wins. Just can't.

100%

All programs have these types of people around. IU’s are just idiots. Knight had such complete control of the program that when he was fired it created a power vacuum that has never shaken out in any meaningful way to allow a few competent stewards to oversee the program. Brand, Glass, Gonzo, Fuergeson, Buckner, et al…they all have the basketball sense of a 25lb dumbbell. Some people seemed convinced Dolson is that guy and the timing is right for him to assume nearly complete control. I hope that’s true. Given our history I will continue to take a wait and see posture.

#$%@!!!

Our defense played better v OSU than ND is currently playing

It would make us fans feel at ease if they would just make an announcement that he would be stepping down after the year but the problem is, he thinks he’s doing a good job and has no desire to do that! There lies the major problem

You and me both. Love when he is micd up for timeouts. Really good college coach

People struggle to believe a move will be made if he has any tournament success

The crowd booed the refs for acknowledging they're from the $EC lol

How fitting we play our next game on "hump day."

Does that mean they emailed each other?

This for sure! Trent committed despite Woodson. I haven’t talked to them personally about this being true, and they would never admit it because that’s the family they are, but yea wouldn’t surprise me if they are rooting for a change like us all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the family has been communicating with Dolson since he committed.
