Close one between Minny and Meatchicken too

Amazing what playing with a little toughness and e and e does for a squad. They stayed connected in the first half after getting down. Kept that level and started executing better before taking off. This should be a baseline of e and e every game. If we keep this intensity we'll win a whole more than we lose and be in every game. Keep rolling Hoosiers!

Ouch! We all project, some try to hide behind their "position" while doing it. -

Exactly what I've seen. We haven't looked to break it efficiently either. We seem to hope to get across in time. I believe we got the ball to the middle once against Iowa and broke it rather easy. The next possession we went back to passing back and forth across the court. It was like breaking it correctly was an accident they were instructed against. -
IU Mens/Womens Swimming and Diving

Hopefully the teams were properly decontaminated after swimming in the sewers up there. -

I completely agree with that take. Kopp came to IU looking to expand his role. That might be good for Kopp but that wasn't good for the team. Shooting when open and defending to the best of his abilities. When looking at other teams it seemed they had defined roles while we had players trying and being allowed to do just whatever. I'd say the only player I'm comfortable letting loose is JHS and XJ to a lesser extent. Hopefully, when XJ and Race return Woody isn't afraid to bench players when they're not playing their role. That might be THE key heading down the stretch. -

He spaces out mentally at times too. There was a play in the second half of the Ill game where he dropped to the FT line to help and his man beat him backdoor. This isn't the typically result as that is him leaving a player wide open from deep. -

This is a really interesting take. -

Appreciate it but no need. I put it out and willing to accept it coming back at me. Some need to vent so they can get that off their chest so allow them to send it my direction. -

Do you want honesty or politeness? I kid What is the saying about science and religion being a foot apart? I think it's similarly applicable here. I don't know more than others on here but emotions can blind. The cope and generalization comment comes from Occam's Razor principle. We'll find every excuse with little or no evidence as opposed to what is most likely. We're an intelligent fanbase but also a wildly passionate one. A lot of our issues can be linked to e and e and i an i. There is a baseline of e and e you have to play with in the Big 1.o to even give yourself a chance to win. This is not some crazy knowledge that only I understand. Watching a certain player get blown by in the cupcake noncon was plenty of proof that he would struggle in conference play. That is not some amazing revelation. It's basic but it took him defending 12 players & coaches sitting on a bench to really get called out. Knowledge and emotion can work together or against each other. You know that, everyone knows that. Some can separate them (even though they are haters or not fans) and others struggle. It has nothing to do with intelligence. I don't envy the job Woody and staff or any other staff has working with young men. They get compensated nicely but you're dependent on them performing to keep your job. I've been there. When you succeed it's amazing when you fail it sucks.
