Both teams are sloppy

Let us know when your feed starts. I still have the “this event hasn’t started yet”

Ugh is right, why aren’t they wearing the candy stripes?

Eric Suhr always seemed to make the right plays when he was out there. Definitely a Charlie hustle type but I always felt comfortable with him out their even though he was an undersized walk on

No. poor coaching can be masked by superior talent. We should have the superior talent in almost every game this year but we won’t win almost every game this year. Coach K could win a natty with this roster but with Woodson I don’t think that is even in the realm of possibility

I’m likely in the minority but I would rather see IU win the bigten tourney than the regular season. 2 reasons: 1) we’ve never won it which is crazy awful and 2) it would show us peaking at the right time

We will play for than 31 games… so yes, 25 wins is a failure in my opinion given this roster for perspective, Purdue has had MORE than 25 wins, so 26+ in 7 of the last 9 seasons

That is so awesome because he is also a great kid. Going to try to post the pic of him training my son at my house

Great, agreed! but I think he will do just enough to retain his job and that sucks if so. 28 wins or more is great and he should be applauded, less than 24 is fireable… I have us winnning 25 and will be disappointing yet not fireable and we will be stuck in pergatory until Mike Woodson wants to leave

I’m pretty certain we all want IU to succeed wildly. i think many of have seen enough from Woody to believe this won’t happen or at least not consistently with woody. Therefore, a decent, not horrible, not great year is the worst case scenario and in my opinion that is what I believe we will see. Top half of the bigten but not competing for nor winning it, maybe 13-7. Not winning the bigten tourney and getting a 4-8 seed in the tourney and winning 1 or 2 games. I believe we should do much better than that given the talent of our roster but I have no expectations they do better because of woody. if my prediction is correct it is worst case scenario because we didn’t accomplish much and yet won’t be fired.

True, maybe he is like Schwarber after all

Not sure I would say he wins with top talent either. He had one of the best players in all of college basketball and a first round draft pick point guard complemented by a senior led supporting cast and didn’t win the bigten and didn’t win the bigten tourney and won 1 game in the round of 64.

Woodson has a lot of good players, they need a good coach. The talent is there and he brought in everyone of them so hopefully his approach with them is the right one and can get them to play well together. i think many of us have our concerns he will do that. If Painter had our players they would be picked to win the bigten and top 5 in the country. Coaches and media don’t have the same level of respect nor expectations for a Woodson coached team

Maybe we should look at getting Luke Murray as our head coach?

I think they are more worried about his competency than his longevity. Obviously those are correlated but it’s not his age that is the concern, it’s whether he knows what he is doing

It’s likely Woody’s wife or daughter or something. It’s very rooted in defense of Woody and very emotional

Makes sense. It’s just a matter of time before someone like Phil knight says “I want to see a national championship at my favorite school and will do whatever it takes” and then proceeds to pay outrageous numbers to ensure that. I’m an IU homer but if I’m making a mil at IU and Oregon says I have $10 mil for you I’m taking it and so would every good player across the country

Where does this end? Will there be caps eventually? Hypothetically, what if the Cooks/Cubans etc wanted to donate $100mm each year to buy anyone we wanted? There are guys like that that could if they wanted to and it’s bound to happen if there aren’t constraints in place

What did happen? You really believe he just accidentally clicked on the IU logo? And then left it there for a half hour?

He probably heard something good, then posted only for people in the know to reach out to him and tell him he’s wrong. Him removing his pick is worse than having never made one

All in players & coaches were over 10 million

No way we only win 11 games. If that is the result we pull out our pitchforks. That would be a huge disappointment

If he is accurate and is fitting right in with our starters and maybe even outplaying them a bit we’re going to be really good. I get the sense that he is right there with mgbako, he had no hesitation when talking about that relationship and I think he is being humble in all actuality

15 mins a game is my guess. Cupps will get minutes too

Showing support for people that have done a lot to help you is a good quality and her approach was classy
