How often has the committee left everyone scratching their heads, in regard to deciding on teams, based off of their own guidelines? Every year. I’m not sure people are giving up per se. Many of us see a familiar trend and it doesn’t require psychic abilities to forecast how the last 5 games are going to go. This team and program is broken. Not going to give up sports but I’ll admit that giving up on IU basketball would probably be best for my and many’s health. Not gotten much roi for my time.

I may like Newton more than the other guys. He’s a Dog!

It’s not wide open though. The reality is that we need to win 3-4 of our last 5 games and will need help from other teams. Losing 4 straight and 3 of those at home is not going to bode well for us. We never get the benefit of the doubt with the tourney committee. This team is repeating a pattern that we’ve seen for the last 4 years. Fans are well within their bounds to be as negative and skeptical as they are. We’re not the ones out there peeing down our legs every February.

We all can agree that Lander has been a major disappointment but I’m not sure I would assume every guard after him is going to be a bust. This should really be Landers true freshman year. JHS is playing well/dominating games against top tier D1 talent every single game and Cupps has his team playing and beating many of the same teams and is on a national top 10 undefeated team. Both guys are winners and have attributes we haven’t had in guards for quite some time. With all that said, I don’t think they are enough. We need them and some big time transfers in the off-season.

Are you comparing Lander to JHS & Cupp seriously or are you just letting your emotions get the best of you right now?

Cupp and JHS are good guards.

When we get guards we’ll need help in our frontcourt.

This was likely a bad idea hiring one of our own. This base will turn on anyone who can’t get the job done. IU guy or not. How’s that going to look when we all eventually sour on Woody?

We need nba level talent to win here and there isn’t any coming. This is going to get ugly folks.

I was under the impression that Matta is being groomed for the Butler AD position.

I’m no expert but this feels like a critical loss for our tourney hopes. We have a curse. I’m convinced.

Bummer

And Geronimo needs to park his @$$ on the bench for the rest of the game. Looks like a lost puppy out there.

This lineup should NEVER be a thing.

Exactly! Not have him guarding arguably the best scorer in the conference.

Them offering Brad Stevens 10 M’s per year debunked this for me.

Gonna be a while bud.

Trayce looks like he packs it in so often during crunch time or moments when we are down. Maybe I’m just being overly critical but his effort doesn’t jump out at you. Outside of maybe 2-3 players, I’m ready to see this entire roster blow up.

Robert Williams has a 7’ 6” wingspan, a crazy vertical, and can defend out on the perimeter. Someone may take a flyer on Trayce, an I hope they do. I want him to reach his goals. Just don’t see him having an NBA career.

We’re gonna miss the tournament again, aren’t we?

No chance. There’s no room for sub 6’ 10” guys who cant shoot. He’ll be a hell of a overseas player though. He’ll make money playing basketball.

Game.

I’m over this team and their inability to hit free throws. Mental midgets.

That call right there is why college is almost unwatchable. The refs are terrible. #2 for MSU can guard X the same way with no call and X gets called for fighting through a screen. **** these refs.

Parker Stewart is 67% from the stripe? Wow. That’s awful.
