And the ugly divorce scenario is the absolute last thing this program needs. The next coach needs to be coming into a stable situation with everything he needs for success, mainly so he doesn't get a built-in excuse of needing time to fix things. If we push Woodson out the door and it gets ugly, then we've basically wasted three more years.

I wish Kenpom did women's basketball so we could see our defensive efficiency rating after this game.

Even with this lead, I'm still getting annoyed when we turn it over trying to force it into the post.

Feels so weird to be up 81-62 at this point instead of 71-62.

Nope, just win, and make a lot of 2's. Just like his playing days.

Really want to keep this over 20 and not see it end up being a 10-15 point win.

I think this is the biggest lead we've had all season.

Assembly Hall has always been a good place for guys like him to do that.

Glad it didn't!

Random Dude, Mr. 24% three point shooter now in double figures after hitting his third 3.

Calling it now, we won't make a 3 the entire second half.

Already exceeded his season average after nailing another 3.

Death, taxes, and a CJ Gunn jumper that misses everything.

Howell early candidate for random dude who goes off.

24% three point shooter, in the corner, hand in his face....of course it goes in.

I'm not sure we could blow out a high school team at this point. They'd hit enough 3's to hang around.

I actually don't mind margin of victory being more of a factor now. I was going back over our scores today, and with this one included, I believe we've only scored seven more points than we've allowed this season. That's usually not the hallmark of a good team.

What is the highest number of games an IU team has won and not made the tourney? Honestly think it may be something to watch. It's like we keep stepping on land mines and they keep failing to go off.

All the hand-wringing and worrying about next year when it's only December is exactly why I wanted to see us sign a stronger class in the fall. But I was told it wasn't necessary because spring signings and the portal would take care of it.

I kind of figured X was going to be a problem all year after the second (or maybe it was the third) time that he went down grabbing his foot and had to be helped off the court. Sadly, I think it's going to be a mental hurdle that he just isn't likely to clear.

Zero chance this happens.

IU basketball is like the main character in a long-running TV series that has a cap on its development. No matter what happens, it can never be allowed to become too powerful, too good or too skilled in any way. It must always struggle with basic strategies and concepts, even if years of prior experience would suggest it should know better by now. The ultimate goal is to be elite again, but the writers want to keep the series going, hence, we fail in recruiting, we have letdowns after big wins, and the program's perception remains unchanged.

Hope we didn't offend the pollsters. Last time we hit the century mark, we dropped 3 spots.

Nice to see the bench finally scoring some points. Weird stat: Holmes with 7 points on no field goal attempts.

Hoping it doesn't get as bad as it did last year in January after the PSU game. That was the worst I've ever seen it here. I made myself stay offline for a full 24 hours just to get away from it for awhile.
