I don’t disagree we have looked “bad”. How we have looked is exactly like a 7-10 seed in the tournament. If we looked “good” like everyone is expecting we would be a top 4 seed. I would agree that would be optimal, but it was never the reality of this team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I guess what were you expecting this year differently? I thought the team would be better within their roles which I thought was limited. RP, Green, and Davis have disappointed. Smith has played better in a Small ball 4 role. Brunk has impressed me versus his game last year. TJD was better than advertised. Al is who he is. I guess I always anticipated these issues based on who and how he was recruiting. But my thing always has been he has to make the tourney. Same as a lot of people. That hasn’t change other than a few people in uproar over the last two games. You guys can say it’s not over the last two losses, but then where was this uproar to this level prior? When was this thread started. This 100% comes down to how we have played over the last two games for some. I don’t get it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Is it irrational to wait and see how the year plays out without this kind of uproar over two losses? I mean didn’t most everyone on this board agree they wanted to see improvement and that improvement was making the tourney? If we don’t make the tourney I agree with you. I think most everyone said as much prior to the season except Josh. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don’t even know what I can discuss anymore. If it doesn’t have a negative slant it’s not something I can bring up? I figured after a few days we could all rationally discuss what’s going on. I was wrong. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree we had cupcakes, but 11-3 is our record no? If we finished the season 20-11 would they take 7 wins out because our fanbase deemed them not worthy? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Have to win the games we should if we are going to make the tournament. We better make the tournament. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yep that is the collective belief. It was that way before we lost two games. Then people lost their **** like that’s the end of the season. Some just wait for a loss. It’s been that way since he was hired. Some are just frustrated because they wanted us to be further along last year. We are 11-3. They are fully able to make the tournament. If they don’t I think a change should be made. I don’t necessarily believe a change would happen. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yep, it’s time like these where you lean on your veterans. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah man I use the app. Before the notifications would have a dot on it if there is something. Now you have to actively go into the notifications just to see. Definitely different. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You know one thing that has surprised me over the years is you don’t hear much about a Jay Wright or Bennett coaching tree. I think those two guys are the best at roster building the way we seem to want. I would think they would have a couple of assistants over the years that have learned a thing or two. I was never impressed with Sean’s ability to build a cohesive roster. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Lol so it’s not the fans fault when the job is deemed more difficult due to fan pressure but it is the fans fault when we don’t piss and moan. Got it. Great fanbase here. We do enough pissing and moaning for 3 fanbases. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Fans like me are why we hold on to a coach? Lmfao you really think so huh? Let me put all my millions on the table since I hold the golden key. Better yet why don’t you let me borrow your degree to wipe my @$$ since I am the fan with the golden key. Name 3 bright spot things? You act again like I am responsible for this. On this forum? But hey I really enjoy spending my morning listening to people like you *****. It’s what gets me through the day. I don’t know what I would do without it since your bitching is doing so much to change the situation. Keep fighting the good fight. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I definitely get that in the real world, but is it apples to apples? You are talking about a plug and play position. Head Coaching position at any level isn’t plug and play. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

To me it just gets exhausting. Every loss and it’s the same thing anymore. These forums just aren’t fun anymore to me. Much like IU basketball isn’t fun to quite a few people in this fanbase. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

They started repurposing Tom Crean’s book. They are up to $65. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Quite a few times in that game Penny should have taken a timeout to regroup. Crean’s teams are built on pressure at both ends. I thought Georgia was solid defensively, but I think Penny could have manufactured a win in that one. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
