What are the boosters that paid for this train wreck saying? they are to blame for this mess as much as anyone. Arming an idiot with a blank check

Poor roster construction once again. he bought players, not a team that complements each other. There is no cohesion whatsoever. playing a giant, plodding, slow, unathletic lineup is going to be the death of us. Every time we played small we hung in there but what do I know, I’m not a true fan

Feeling a bit tad queasy eh?

Reneau and Ballo and Mgbako equals clog/no movement/mess

That’s why the Crean years kept me interested… we could beat a top 10 team on any given opportunity. Of course we would follow that up with a drumming by Penn State but still.

Quit playing 3 bigs..: that would be a start. Mbako and Reneau are both 4s in college. play Rice, Leal, Galloway, Reneau and Ballo. Carlyle Tucker and Mgbako can sub in early. just rotate those 8. Whatever will create more spacing and movement.

I would like to agree but unfortunately Gallloway looked equally as awful as Carlyle. I’m open to seeing Leal get more minutes. Having no shooters on the court isn’t a great formula and I don’t see Carlyle as one

If we go 17-12 he shouldn’t even be allowed to see the end of the season. That would be an absolute dumpster fire - we have to have one of the top 5 highest paid rosters in all of college basketball

I’ve never seen him move, like at all

We have a few Bernie’s on our bench

We don’t have an offensive and defensive scheme

What does this even mean? Jibberish

Last year, we allowed more points than we scored… that is unheard of at IU. I think with blowout losses like today, we are well on our way to doing this in back to back years

IU off to a sluggish start

How much did the Woodsons pay you? are you hourly or on full time?

IU 91-63

That would be great but I don’t see it. I think Rice has a better shot at that

I like him but glad to see him plying a supporting role and hopefullly he learns from playing against Rice in practice

It’s his first game, he is going to be one of our top players on both sides of the ball

He will start over Mgbako eventually

POY would be amazing but I dont expect that or anything. If he is top 3 center in the bigten then we are in good shape. I imagine Rice will be top 3 point guard so that’s pretty good in a 20 team bigten

Agree except Ballo screens and clears the lane better than I have seen centers in recent IU history.

Couldn’t agree more. No way Gallo doesn’t start or at least get starter minutes over Carlyle. Tucker is going to be one of our top 5 players and make it hard to keep off the court in important moments. glad to see Rice ball out and so far be exactly what we need

That’s my take as well. I like Carlyle on D but didn’t see much offensively. Maybe it was an off night offensively but I didn’t see anything that would say he gives us more than Gallo. i think Carlyle and Tucker will be our 6th and 7th man and eventually Tucker starts over Mgbako.

Yeah because that is what I wrote right?
