Here's the thing. Kid like Bieber should have a role. Play serviceable defense, and spot up and shoot 3 pointers to keep us in the game after we are down 10+. See at most 5-10 min per game.

Like Bill Belichick?

Do you know if Ohio state was part of the student ticket package? Most students will be heading back on Sat and Sunday. With an early game, I could see the student section half full. I 'd hate to see that.

You guys take yourselves way too seriously.

According to his post game press conference he said "maybe the 11 man rotation isn't working." Well thank you captain obvious.

Tough to yell at a player and have him take you seriously when you're blowing bubbles.

That's what I thought as well. And that Justin was frustrated by it. Seems like he might be on of those guys who gets upset when you point out the obvious.

Start by getting rid of the bubble gum. What is he, 12?

So it looks like the rotation got a bit smaller tonight. Have to look at the numbers but. Green out most of second half. Race not much, a little bit of hunter, Davis not much. Damize nothing.

Then he will fail. He's got to adapt to Big play. Can't survive on gimmicky mid major crap.

Time for Bieber.

To get beat at home by Northwestern. That's just dumb.

Or just play them this classic

Like him or hate him, it will be good for IU. Put the past behind and move forward. I'm relieved as I want the program to get back to where it belongs and getting out from the "Knight curse" can't hurt.

Not quite. Classes start Monday, so they'll be showing up this weekend.

Yep. Coach can't want it more than the player.

Better go check on those cordial Kentucky fans. Clappy is beating them.

Several games ago he got pulled and sat the bench for 3/4 of the game. Been a beast ever since. Don't know why CAM doesn't do that to the others.

I'm not jumping on Chris, but if that's what the guy said then he, the coach, is a pu$$y. I want him no where near our program. Coaches all say "we don't listen to fans, read the paper, etc." Yet this guy can't take the heat of some fans bitching about what's going on. I want a coach that hates to loose. A guy that doesn't make excuses, and would fire himself for poor performance. A guy that can self evaluate, adapt and change. A guy that's harder on himself than the fans.

Collins is literally making it up as he goes along. If this one is even close, forgetaboutit.

You and others consistently point out that it's not that great of a job anymore. Whether it be the town (wives don't like it), the facilities (have to beg for updates, which to my eye have been made), the administration (won't let them cheat), the fans (a bunch of dudes online talking about firing the coach after a loss), the pressure (hey big life, big stage, big ten), IU is old and stuffy, and a variety of other factors. There are 65 head coach basketball jobs in the power 5. Where are we in that bunch?

There is some truth to that. But when you're in a power 5 conference the two biggest faces of the U are the football and basketball coach. People know their names, buy the crap they endorse, etc. Nobody know whotf Idie what's her name is. So what they really want is a coach who will represent the university brand well and not be a complete tool.

Apparently the wives.

Justin went to one of the best high schools in IL. I can guarantee he had some classes as hard or harder in high school than at IU. The fact that he is a student athlete isn't surprising. I would love to see him play like he started this year.

Not talking about starting the kid and playing him for 30 mins. If your're down by 15, put him in to take a few shots. If he can't hit a couple of 3s, we at least keep the game close. If he doesn't, we are still getting blown out of the gym. It's zero risk and high reward.
