Justin Smith is not good at basketball. Still trying to figure out what the staff sees in him to warrant the minutes he gets. He would be a great volleyball player.

Wow. So who’s the “Jerry Jones” at Indiana University? I would resign immediately over this.

If I were Archie Miller and we miss the tournament this season, I’m no doubt lining up a soft landing spot. He has nothing coming in, as far as immediate help in areas of need and next year we could very possibly miss playing in the tournament again. That’s not going to be easy on him and his family. There are few places in the country that can be as nasty and vitriolic as Bloomington during a long stretch of bad basketball. He’s not cut out for this gig. He has to be having questions run through his head. He’s failing badly.

Yogi Ferrell vs Fred Van Fleet

Yeah. You’re right. He dribbled into traffic late when it wasn’t needed and it set me off. He played a great game.

Devonte makes me wish we could have bad Troy all over again.

I do not feel good about this lead

Justin Smith is a harrrdd watch.

B1G refs are awful

Garza elbowed his teammate. Not smith.

I can understand this and would bet many coaches don’t want the challenge. I would be concerned though, that an elite level coach wouldn’t be confident enough that he could get Indiana to the tournament in 3 years. You have to get results in 3-4 years imo. If we are expected to give coaches 7-8 year blank checks (not saying you’re supporting this), then we all should just pack this in and find another program to root for. I don’t think any of this would be nearly as bad for Archie, if we had something to look forward to in year 4. Next years class, although I like the long term potential, is underwhelming and doesn’t offer any immediate help in areas of desperate need. He’s struggled at almost every aspect of his job, while at Indiana. I will admit that it’s going to take a very special coach to win here. This place makes good coaches shrink and turn into poor coaches. It’s a poorly managed program with an absurd amount of expectation. There are very few guys that can get it done here. If Archie is indeed given 7-8 more years, maybe he’s able to get it done. If that’s to happen, Archie needs to have a profound transformation. As of now, he’s shrinking. He absolutely has the roster to make the NCAA tournament. We shouldn’t be finishing near the bottom of the B1G in each of his 3 seasons.

This is frustrating. I pray it’s not true. If I ran my business this way, I’d become insolvent very quickly.

Yes it would. Also, we would be able to spread the word amount over time in payments. Not all due upfront.

Same, in regards to the disappointment and lack of hope. I’m not angry anymore. I’m emphatically apathetic. I only watched the game yesterday bc I seen that Knight was confirmed to show up. What did make me angry was when I seen all of the greatness at center court for Knight’s reunion. It was staggering. It’s infuriating to think that this is how far we’ve fallen. I don’t pretend to know what really caused this but I find it impossible to believe that this has happened by accident. This was done on purpose. You won’t convince me otherwise. **Were any of the past players watching the game at any point? I noticed they were relaxing with Coach Knight during the 1st half, then went back into the tunnels at the start of the 2nd half. Perplexing.

Talk about Jekyll and Hyde from a talent evaluation standpoint.

Agreed.

Disgusts me that we are getting this effort on THIS DAY!!! This entire staff can pack it in and get the hell out of Bloomington. That’s how I feel. Tired of the excuses. This is a poorly coached basketball team. It’s not ******* Tom Crean’s fault.

Our guard production is absolutely pathetic. We desperately need to get guards in here and fast. Phinisee, green, Durham aren’t cutting it.

I hate that I’m a fan of this program. Torture.

Just turned the game on. Where is Jerome Hunter?

Or if you’re a player that can go anywhere he wants and has aspirations to get to the next level, it’s understandable that he avoid one of the more vitriolic environments. I’ve believed for years now that our fan base has and will continue to cost us high level recruits.

Terrible way to lose.

Phinisee gets hurt more than any player I can remember.

Wow
