Arizona so freaking good. Doesn’t feel right rooting for Kansas but I want Arizona to take an L sooner or later.

Think if we could at some point stack 2 or 3 of these guys together at the same time. TJD on this team. Or whatever. We always seem to be a guy or 2 short from being really good.

Rusty looking. Mostly unenthusiastic. Dorn and Tuck are killing me. Bailey too for that matter. Wilkerson is carrying us again. What’s new. When I look at his face, I think he’s got the flu too. Love Wilkerson. Tough and smooth.

It was a joke on my part. Part wishful thinking. I guess the Oregon team came to Bloomington early and the he and the team were spotted having a good time at the bars. Seems to just be that.

Minnesota Maryland in a “barn”burner.

In all likelihood we need 3 or 4 starters out of the portal. Dorn is the only starter level player to return. Maybe Sisley. Especially if shooting improves. He’s gotta get that FT to 70%. I like Miles but see him more as a role guy. Not sure if that’s how he sees himself. Prince Moody projects to play. Karvala maybe/likely. Manhertz. Idk. Harris, Ristic?? The rest? Redshirt guys, who knows what they will do. Hopefully we have some stock to get high level guys because Portal is going to be active. Will need a 1 and 5 for sure.

Mostly true but not entirely. For the record I just wanted DeVries to make the tournament, show some optimism, and have a building block season. 2 weeks ago, that didn’t appear to be the case and year 2 and the tenure gets more difficult. But now, we are on pace to achieve minimum expectations which should help his cause to build. BUT, saying message boards, X, Facebook have no real world effect just isn’t true. The vibes of the program are measured through attendance and online discourse. It’s one of the things the AD monitors. HOWEVER, 1 year is never gonna be a measuring stick to fire a new hire without something in the background. 2 years might be if results are terrible. So yeah, this is a venting session for sure and thankfully it seems we can quell it a little bit.

In real time I thought Blackwell pulled on his arm and dragged him forward. It was an awkward movement. This explains it well. Seeing all the Wisconsin fans crying on X while being so clearly wrong is enjoyable. lol

So he’ll be Indiana’s PG next year? lol.

I can’t begin to describe my emotions the last 30 minutes of that game. This game was critical. Thought for sure we pissed it away twice. My goodness. We needed it so bad. Home friendly calls in the final 2 possessions without question. My goodness.

Gonna need to win one we shouldn’t. Dropping home games left and right.

Devastating.

Damn

Seasons on the line. Son of a gun.

Stinks. They’ve got some good guards. Couple athletic guys. Could really use him, especially if Scirotto goes anti Hoosier and Enright gets 2 quick ones.

Good for the team. Shay with the carry. We basically played 6. That’s some old fashioned Moren ball. Lol. Big ups to Caffey. She’s been underwhelming relative to the minutes she gets. Glad she had a good game.

Adewale Ogunleye?

2 years is enough. If you don’t have something going in 2 years in today’s era, you’re cooked. I’ll never understand what he was trying to do with this roster from a ceiling standpoint. I think he completely misjudged Bailey. Anyway, I just want to salvage a tournament appearance and see if next season he can build something better. If not, let someone else try, imo. and yea, every year 1st year coaches get something going. In Virginia and Iowa’s case the rosters are even on paper. So, do with that as you may. we’ve definitely lost games we should have won this year.

Still too early. We built a bubble team, and we are playing like a bubble team. Hopefully we can sneak into the tournament then pray we aim for better next season. (not holding my breath). If we miss the tournament and then underwhelm in the off season with like results, this page will have merit.

He’s not Bennett Stirtz that’s for damn sure. He wants it. He plays hard. He does the little things. But the shot making isn’t as good as it needs to be for the other issues he has.

If we don’t end up with a shot blocking/rebounding Big going into next year I’m going to pull my hair out. We get absolutely mauled on the boards.

Very winnable game. Frustrating to lose this one. Played like crap most of the game. Back squarely on the bubble. Was a chance to get off the bubble with this one. Wisconsin at home is now about a must win with upcoming loses @Illinois and @Purdue.
