So much talent and so little time to get to mesh. With our NIL and tradition and history, we should be top 5 and Final Four regularly. There simply isn’t an excuse.

Good to see Goode finally hit one.

We’ve seen this start after half a time or 20.

MBako just as bad or worse. Both returners and MBako at 6’9” and 1 rebound.

Cups and Jakai injured?

I don’t think there’s one fan/alumni on this site that actively roots for IU to lose. Why be here? But we all can see clearly Woody is over his head and has fired a recently promoted assistant during the season to prove it. Let’s see him win a championship of any kind. As bad as Tommy Naismith was in 10 years, he at least won 2 Big regular season titles.

Our ball movement was good today; we had several 3 looks and Goode has to hit those. Our guard play much better; a returning starter I don’t believe got any smell. Carlyle is more athletic than I thought and with more experience can be really good. Ballo accepts his role as defender and rebounder mostly and that’s good to see. I think Hattie should be getting more minutes early as we may need him later in the Big. Nice game today.

If he wants a future, coaches don’t kiss and tell. But the optics of being let go at the start of the season looks really bad. Seemed like a quality guy.

So we got out bid?

Has to be a big loss as Woody was on him for a long time plus his friendships with other recruits. We saw him at the Iowa game last year, and Best of luck to him.

How many Hyper legends wouldn’t want that? Free education for making the team one year. Compared to millions for another player for the same commitment.

After last year, we should have learned to never bank a scholly. Never. It’s like self penalizing your team, fans, and alumni because you don’t understand attrition or injuries. Reward a walk-on or find a Hyper stud but please use it. I shouldn’t even be saying this if we ever hope to win big again.

Only when it comes to paying players. Wooden bagman was legendary kinda like Indiana’s NIL. Let’s see how many National Champs Woody hangs?

That ended when he came back. Our problem now is that Wooden cannot coach and if he doesn’t win again this year; it will be his last.

Crean coached 6/1000 point scores on one team and couldn’t get to a final four. Did less with more unlike any other.

Can’t hide behind wait til next year when you have the fans, history and now NIL behind this program. The biggest benefit will be to us and these 10 year Crean like rebuilds that won’t sell. This will be Woody’s year 3 with NIL and his last to prove his coaching chops. Either win bigger than he has shown to be able to do or next person up. I will be patiently waiting.

We would have already been out of the running without NIL. Now, non cheating schools like IU has the same opportunity as the always cheaters. We just need a coach to match our Yankees like salaries.

Surprised to hear since Indiana ownership belongs to Painter. Plus, with portal Purdue can easily add. Believe it or not I’m an Indiana grad and love all that is IU except our coaching choices less Sampson. The administration won’t let Indiana win and hires always reflect this.

Normally I wait until football season to cheer for Clemson. But Brownell has built a helluva team.

He would be our best shooter why not? I’m sure we could get him for cheap

Hope Sampson wins it all and fu to every Indiana president since Knight. Yours truly, SCHoosier!

Even Cornhuskers coach Fred Hoiberg, like Woodson a former NBA coach, called Indiana's front line of Kel'el Ware, Malik Reneau and Mackenzie Mgbako ''one of the best in the league,.'' Hoiberg’s throwing his hat into the ring.

Getting thrown out late after getting blitzed by 30 the third time in one year to Nebraska can only be outdone by Mike Davis refusing to coach a game after getting his feelings hurt by the same fans. Woodys teams are unprepared and always outcoached. Indiana needs to finally get a good men’s basketball coach.

Woody needs to be fired!

Woody gets a tech day late and dollar short.
