I don't give a rat's behind about CAM's "personality." Just win baby.

The web site is wrong or old. Everything has been modified this semester. They start online 1/18 and don't go back to until 2/8. Registration is done, so he should be enrolled and I assume eligible to play.

Classes are delayed a few weeks due to covid.

I'm talking regulation. I think we missed at least three (maybe four) quick wide open 3s coming down the stretch.

First, Archie's boss sits down with him and says "dude, you need to adapt. What are we going to do about offense, shooting and such." Based on his answer you decide what to do from there.

That's it. The only reason this was close was several missed, wide open, threes in the final minutes. But that has been the story for a while.

Crean wasn't consistent. Need to be in the mix in the Big 10 every year and in the tourney.

I don't dislike Archie and think he would be a good representative for IU. But, what frustrates me about him is his abject failure to adapt his systems and philosophies to the situation he's in.

That's pretty high expectations. Even the best programs aren't national championship competitive every year. But as I have said before, the model is easy: 1) control the Big 10 -- conference championships and nothing worse the 4th. That equals a tourney bid every year. 2) Win the first weekend of the tourney. That get's you to the sweet 16. 3) Break thru to the 8, 4 and Championship game. This is a numbers game. The more you are in the sweet 16, the more chances you have to break thru. Now just go get the Coaches and Players who can do it.

I think with lander it’s just the speed of the college game. He’ll get there. Just needs to work thru how fast things happen.

As long as they aren't wearing the 1980s short shorts, uniforms are just noise.

You're missing the big picture. You claim we would be upset with Underwood if he lost a game or two and the ranking slipped from 5 to 18. Sure we would be on here bitching a moaning about performance. But we know the Big is a meat grinder. And we'd still be ranked 18 with a future. In the real world, some folks see some major deficiences with the program at this point. That's not just a poor performance or two. They are structural flaws.

Yeah, ok. We'll that explains it. Need a couple of shooters to make that work.

You assume the Freshman would cause us to lose. :)

I think that's what you're missing. We all understand the Big 10 is meat grinder and on any given night you can lay a turd and get beat. But the expectation as you look at the schedule is that "this is a win" vs. each oponent. Right now, are their any "wins" on IU's Big schedule? If Underwood was at IU, recruited competitive players, and beat NW, IL, and Purdon't, we'd be happy. :)
