The post game hype video, top notch! Couple things stood out to me though, Woody talking to the team: “be humble, be humble, it’s only one game, who’s next?” And “no matter who comes in this house, they gotta search somewhere else to get a win!” I love it, I love it, I love it!!

Took a stroll through one of the PU boards and I kept seeing comments about their NBA players on the team. Obviously they are talking about Ivey, but who else? Do they consider Edey? I didn’t think the league used big low post players that never shoot from outside?

I was thinking something similar watching the PU v Illini game. Broadcasters were gushing about Curbelo. I was like have we watched the same player at all? He has really decent moments and really really bad ones sometimes in the same half lol!

Rob said on the Dakich show that TJD was still banged up. I would assume something like a big bruise or sore hip from the fall in the Nebrasketball game.

Wow, Kofi will not play at Maryland tonight and his status for Tuesday against Michigan State is questionable, due to a concussion sustained against Purdue!

Still smiling, not much work getting done, and my IU hoodie blanket has never felt more comfortable! Screw PUrdouche!

Jakai Newton all over Twitter celebratin! Young fella gets it, he knows!

YESSSS!!!!!!!

Stop trying to run the clock down put it to them they can’t defend us when we play uptempo!!!!!!

Rob is f*****g tired of losing to PUrdouche!

From west Lafayette to the Ohio River my a$$! This ain’t your state PUrdouche!

Al Durham doing Al Durham things! Called for a charge, runs down the court and commits a foul on a shooter!

Omg I just about had an fn heart attack

After each disappointing loss, I stew for a short period, but then come to my senses and remember we just fired a coach and hired a new one. I believe that Woody is trying, but he has to learn how to be a college coach. He previously made a comment that kind of worried me just a little and I hope he changes his tune as time goes by. The comment was basically that this is his team and its his way. I think he is going to have to step back a little from that and let the assistants have a little say. My other sobering thought is that our roster still has 11/17 players from the previous regime! That regime was 12-15 last season, I didn’t expect them to be world conquering this season, nor should anyone else. We have won games this year that the previous regime would have folded up and cashed in a loss. Our defense and yes our offense have improved no matter how small of a difference. Now get to work on the mental part of the game! No reason to play different on the road, the mantra of not losing at home it’s our house should carry over to road games, because for that day that is your home! Once the team face a little adversity they clam up and forget the basics! It was overly evident with the zone press last night and not just with the guards. No one came to help them up the floor in any of the trap situations. They stood there expecting that Rob, X, or Race could get the ball past half court. In normal circumstances they probably would be able to break the zone, but for some reason no one could see the path up the middle of the floor with outlets on each side of the court once you got near half court. If the guards would have pushed the ball instead of slowly walking up the court to start, they would have easily broken down Iowa’s defense and likely had several easy buckets. Got to get out of their own heads and just play the d@mn game. Will we make the tourney? No one knows, but I am still going to watch each and every game and enjoy the fact that we can watch basketball. Love the game, love our team, love most of the fan base ( minus some of the idiots on Twitter)! Go IU and let’s beat the shiitake out of Nebrasketball, then PUrdouche!

Man I clapped real hard on that 3 from PS, and my back hey wtf you doing!

When’s the last time we had 48 on the road at the half?

Fran mad Fran better sit down or there will be a trip to the locker room here shortly!

T!

They just show tip in 13 mins

I saw someone say it’s a listing error, we will be on.

Let’s win one tonight for recon (me), I’ve made to 5 games this year, planned on a few more, but now my back is completely out. I guess I’m getting old as my back went out while sleeping. Nothing like a 37 yo walking with a cane like an 80 yo. Probably going to have surgery this time, hard to believe it’s been 14 years since I hurt my back in Iraq!

Butler just spent the last 4 mins trying to inbound the ball on 1 possession

Liddell not getting hardly any support on offense from the rest of the team.

Just realized who Ryan Mutombo is, lol! Nah ah ah not in my house junior!

Not sure if it’s due to COVID restrictions or not but there is hardly anyone at the G-Town v Bulter game. Hell there was more at assembly for the girls team!
