I know it’s purely coincidental, but it feels like this game turned on a dime after that hook and hold wasn’t called against Tominaga on Leal

Man, I don’t think Malik has made a smart decision all night

I've always been told to "never yuck on someone's yum". IU is winning and that's what we ultimately want to see.... . . . . . but I agree with you

I think Woodson's biggest challenge in the upcoming portal season will be replacing Ware and his productivity. Over the past 5 games (5 game win streak), Ware has averaged a double-double per game (21.6 pts and 12.6 reb). Going back through 11 games (I'm lazy and got tired of counting), he's still averaged a double-double with 18.6 pts and 10.8 rebs per game. His poorest outing through that stretch was the OSU game where he only produced 6 points and 1 rebound. It's obviously not Woodson's only challenge since he'll be portal-dependant, but that could be a make or break for him if he fails to replace that kind of production. And please check my math. I suck at math.

Nice post-game interview there for Leal. Very well-spoken

Woodson: “Thank you for the vote of confidence, Andy” :-) I’ll see myself out!

The “true fans” thing still makes me shake my head because it’s so juvenile. I’ve seen it defined as arrogance on Woodson’s part by several on here, but I believe it came from insecurity. I don’t hate Woodson and would never say that about him but he should’ve been above something like that.

With 2 players?

Me still trying to figure out if I’m a true fan or not. Lol. Kidding aside, there’s obviously an “us versus the world” vibe from those speeches. If that’s what it takes for them to win keep winning then so be it!

What’s all of this “true fan” nonsense and Leal maybe jumping the shark a little. “No other coach I would trust to run this program other than coach Woody”

I think it takes winning the BTT to even think about the NCAA tournament

Wow! Gotta give these players a ton of credit these past 4 games. They’ve fought their a**es off for these wins.

FTs might be the difference….again

Yikes, what was that?

That’s how the college game is played! Duh! ;-)

Ware with trying to win this game

He just looks done for this game. Rumor is he’ll be back but I don’t know for sure

Agree. What a crappy way to end your senior night

Yeah, sorry but X tried selling that big time

Whew, X is struggling bad. He just tries to do too much

Ware and Mgbako improving their draft stock with every game down the stretch

Some interesting points but what insight(s) do you have to label these additions as “probable”? I ask because Woodson already has a reputation for hit-n-miss on the higher level portal players. Also, what’s plan B if those probable additions don’t pan out?

You can see that May is a better X’s and O’s coach and his offense alone would be attractive to recruits

Reminds me of the OSU loss last year. Totally lost focus

Whew, put that quarter in the trash and come out and finish this game strong.
