    IU MVP vs Stanford

    I sure as hell know more about Bruce Hornsby than I ever cared to. MVP? Stanford, they let us win. Very nice of them.

    Please, please, please let LSU win the conference only to get hammered.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Well since we are working in extremes I guess we should throw out about 30 wins and say he would surely win half. I mean that’s logical. But hey you do you man. I am going to enjoy those two wins against non-cupcakes since it won’t ever happen again.

    Well I don’t try and fit myself into a pretzel to say someone is a bad coach 50% of the time. Especially at this level. That’s just asinine. You are better than that.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Last night there were plenty of people to bring up how we have lost 20 games by 10+. That is actually the definition of 80/20 as he has coached 102 games. I am not defending what I saw yesterday, but come on 50/50? If we looked like that 50% of the time we wouldn’t win 10 games. We DO NOT look like we looked yesterday 50% of the time. The 20% of the time wanted is what it truly is but imo it should be less than 10% of the time. But in no way the way we played yesterday happens 50% of the time. That’s just a gross exaggeration based on personal beliefs of where we should be. If we want to get to where we want to be the 20% needs to be less than 10%. I can agree there if we are using realistic numbers. Edit: Pretty please stop going under screens, pressing when shots aren’t falling, find your All American early, and keep communicating on defense.

    3-1. I will take it. Glad the boys showed up. Glad Archie got up their @$$. Wonder if this is how it’s going to be in empty gyms all year.

    Well they said it would take years to learn. (Ducks and hides and not that I agree with that just being a smart @$$)

    Let’s finish this and leave 2-1 with 2 teams that should be around the tournament selection on a neutral.

    I feel like I am on acid listening to this. Wouldn’t be as bad if I had the hallucinations to go along with it.

    I honestly don’t understand why we have had so many players go under the screen. There is absolutely no coach that would ever coach that way on shooters. That is something you are taught from a very young age, and see on tv daily. I don’t get it.

    IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Definitely getting up into them mostly. Not a fan of Rob trying to go under screens on shooters. Just basic 101 defense. If it takes coaching to tell someone that at this level, I honestly don’t know what to say.

    Somebody better set the ******* alarm today.
  13. Man, I need to make up some points after yesterday. I in no way think IU is going to win today, especially without Al, but I need some catch-up points and some luck. IU - 67 Stanford - 66

    IUBB vs Texas - 12/1/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Yep it was absolute embarrassment on ESPN. No two ways around it. They better show up tomorrow. After the way they played yesterday if there are any other excuses, it better end with our effort was awful after we couldn’t get anything going early on. Defensively they were really good for most of the first half and then just gave up. That’s on the coaching staff. That’s on the players. Show up tomorrow like you didn’t hang out at the socially distant strip club until 3 am pretty please.

    That ball just finds him. There are reasons for that, but I just think it’s his competitive spirit. He just hasn’t taken plays off at either end. Going to love that kid for four years.

    Man, the board is in mid-season form. Lol, I think we should all take a collective timeout.

    IUBB vs Texas - 12/1/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    And we can trust him to make a smart play more than others.

    IUBB vs Texas - 12/1/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

    Yeah he will be good next year imo. This year this is who he is. He is talented, but talent of a high school senior versus 22 year old men doesn’t mean as much unless you are a Zion. Even Zion would have struggled his senior year against high college kids. I know I wasn’t as high on Lander as others, but the kid has a body that doesn’t play. His shot looks rushed. He looks rushed. Once it slows down and he gains about 20+ lbs of muscle he will be fine. Hope it’s this year and not next on the speed slowing down.

    Agreed. Too much driving against an active Texas defense isn’t doing us any favors. Would love to see more ball movement and passes off of that than straight line drives with no angles.

    Hell at this rate we may want to look for the Peoples Temple special Koolaid.

    So you are saying your punishment is still watching Indiana basketball and ensuring we have to endure that? Sounds about right.

    I assumed after being up 14 and they were ready to fire him. I anticipated more traffic after that.

    Just wanted to check in make sure nobody was jumping off a cliff after that first half.

    Love the move to put in Galloway when we look flat.
