    You would know a lot better than me in regards to Cooper's abilities. I'm not sure what other options Archie had at guard last night. All of them struggled down the stretch.

    I would give serious thought about giving Cooper some playing time. That was some of the worse guard play I've ever seen. And this isn't blaming the players and not the coach. The coach is responsible for the W / L - period.

    The guard play down the stretch is why we lost that game. I'm not sure how excited the fan base would be with Scheyer, but maybe he's the answer.

    Easy to say when you're not the one actually responsible for making the call. This would truly be a balls on fire hire. I'm not even saying you're wrong. I truly find these boards interesting. Everyone thinks they have all the answers. I will give you points for actually giving a name. That was a hard game to watch and I'm at a loss on what the answer is for this program.

    What coach do you think would come to IU? (If we fired coach Miller tomorrow)? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Lol. Some would say 11-2 is winning. Who would come to IU? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Serious question: what coach would come to IU? Our compliance department is going to watch everything you do to ensure your within the rules. Our fan base will question everything you do. I’m really not trying to bash anyone posting. I just not sure who we can pull in at this point. I personally think we need to give coach Miller some more time. But.....if that’s not an option and we need to go with someone else., who the hell would want the job? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    We lost because they stopped the inside and we couldn’t make outside shots. We hit a few 3’s and the inside opens back up and we win by 20. It’s not rocket science. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Well. Somebody that can shoot would be part of recruiting. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    New coaching staff isn’t going to help, unless we’re willing to play the game. We can continue to play the carousel with coaches competing against a system that favors cheating or join the game. It’s really that simple... unless we get lucky and find another Bobby Knight. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    It’s really hard to be an IU Fan. We should have won this by 10 - 15. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    (2016) SG Grant Gelon commits to IU

    I’m glad the young man found a home to play basketball. Good for him. I couldn’t have done that with a trampoline. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    It would be great if both teams could loose. I actually have more respect for UK’s program. UofL is a cesspool. Or maybe they’ve just been caught more recently... not that it matters... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    I agree. Did the non-con schedule get us ready for the BIG10? With the makeup of this team, I think it was the best path to get us ready to play the BIG10 schedule. This team needed to build confidence and build chemistry, which I think they have done. I will be the first to say - I don't have the first clue on what the rest of this season is going to bring. We need enough to build some momentum going forward. This year: Make the tournament and anything can happen.

    A lot of people are complaining about SOS and the complaints have some merit. I personally think it was smart with the make up of this team. I’m not sure how it works out and I’m not sure it prepared us enough for the grinds of the BIG10, but I think it gives us the best shot to make the tournament. Coach needs small victories (like making the tournament) to continue to build his program. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    IUBB vs Nebraska 12/13 8 pm BTN

    Cappy. I watched the game again today. And I agree a lot of it was Nebraska playing really well. We still have a lot to work on, but you make a lot of valid points. Too many bad TO and we need to continue to work inside out. If we can make some outside shots, we will open the floodgates on the offense end. Too many easy drives to the basket, but that was caused by some bad shooters making shots. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    To anyone that has knowledge. I thought Franklin was supposed to be a decent outside shooter?Or did I make that up in my brain.... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    I really like this team and I think they have potential. Hate to state the obvious, but they need to do the little things a lot better. Stop the stupid TO and stop taking plays off on the DEF end. If they can do that, they will have one hurdle left - outside shooting. I’m not sure they can fix that this year, but they need to sure up the other areas quickly. The good thing is they haven’t dug themselves into a hole with the sloppy play.
