24-13 IU

You think we will be 5th-7th in the bigten and make the tourney? Wow! I would be shocked and ecstatic if that were the case. I’m seeing 9th-12th and not even on the bubble

We don’t have a bigten, high level roster. This team would have to catch lightning in a bottle to beat a really good team. I was hoping for 20 wins and will now hope for 16. It’s going to be a long season for any of us that continue to watch this

Ugh, 5 guys standing around the perimeter with no movement is unfortunate. Modern? Not winning modern

This is a basketball forum and for most of us, basketball is what brought us all here. Our basketball program has been crappy since Dolson took over: it’s not ridiculous to expect more from this school when it comes to basketball and that starts at the top. He’s had two cracks at this and it’s not hard to see this team and system is incredibly flawed

I haven’t followed the Kraft/PSU example you provided, will have to read up on that. It’s pretty obvious to those around an AD when they have no idea what they are doing and that was the case for Dolson, vote of no confidence without an official vote. Crazy if others from the IU tree have essentially done the same elsewhere. Breeding ground for weak leadership. cig has been amazing but I’m a basketball fan through and through and I think what has happened to our basketball program is unbelievable. I’m not mad we’re 8-3 thus far in year 1, I’m disappointed in the system/product… I have no idea what this is? It’s horrible and hard to watch let alone fun. I don’t see a vision

I know what happened, I’ve shared the story from a BOT member many times here. His incompetence in the early days of the hiring process opened the door for others to take control after he fumbled the handoff a few times. Anyway, he was the AD when he was hired and was the AD when he was given a raise and the AD when he wasn’t winning and the fanbase had already quit on him and was unable to get rid of him. It’s a bag full of incompetence

Yes he did

Idk, I think it was on life support and he might have pulled the plug with Woody hire, him alienating the fanbase and not winning, Dolson not having the pull to get rid of him and then making a questionable hire that while it’s early is not instilling any faith or excitement from anyone other than Dakich

The guy that could have been ours is going to win a natty in his second year at Michigan and we ended up with a coach nobody was pining for. This has been some incredibly ugly basketball to say the least. We used to have 5 guys in the paint standing around now we have 5 guys standing around the perimeter. No movement, no ball handling, no screens, no boxing out, no shot blocking, streaky shooting. This is really concerning. I have no idea what this is supposed to be.

We had 3 guys with 5+ assists. I could be wrong but can’t imagine that has happened very many times in recent past. the fact that one of our best scorers was one of those is a great sign!

Yeah, we have a very senior heavy roster but nice to see we might have a 4 year contributor on the roster. It would be nice to have some holdovers each year and unless something unforeseen happens, you can count on him being here

Exciting start to the season. Defensive intensity, ball movement, playing for each other all make me hopeful. fun to watch!

Haven’t logged in in a while but this seems intriguing no? We have a legit shot at this kid?

Kicking off the season against old dominion is pretty meh. I live 4 hours away and that game doesn’t warrant the drive, hotel and all that comes with it. I think fans will show up come BIGTEN
