Based on this, would it make sense to run the offense through Galloway? I say definitively yes

I would like this post except for the part about bailing on woody. I could be wrong but I don’t see anyone or at least not many of any bailing on him. Just posting concerns that some easy to fix things arent being easily fixed. As posted above, there is a small margin between winning and losing and this easy fixes are what could be the difference between being 12-4 and 15-1 and that will continue to affect our record like that until it’s fixed

I have more faith in this staff than the previous one and that isn’t based on where the last one ended, but started. that said, they need to get some things ironed out ASAP. Not next year or the following year. We can’t afford to piss away this season and not make the tourney when we have the team that could and should make it. when I read that we were right there with a chance to win in those 4 road loses I can’t help but wonder what you think that means? We had zero chance of winning that game at Iowa once they took the lead in the second half it was over. It’s not like we were even in the game with a minute or two left. Same with Wisconsin and same with PSU. They fold at the first sign of pressure or adversity and aren’t in it to even have a chance at the end. We’re at that point where the season improves or goes down the toilet as our schedule only gets harder. These easy to fix issues that haven’t been fixed easily need to be fixed or we will be watching us miss out yet again

True true, despite having nothing but veteran players out there, they looked lost and confused “a trap, what the hell is that?” Phinisee looked scared and confused and none of our players were in the right position or moved into the right positions. Got caught off guard once, ok, but they never corrected it. If Il am opposing coach I trap all game from start to finish

Taking bits and pieces from others comments; this is one of the oldest, most experienced teams Woody is ever going to have and it also has one of the best players that woody is ever going to have. That, plus the crazy weak schedule we have played thus far makes it incredibly frustrating that we are 12-4. That record in some other years is good, not this year. talk about expectations… yeah, a tourney birth is fine and for me was expected when looking at our roster and our schedule. That tourney birth is very much in doubt, plenty of ball to play but we need to make improvements in places that have yet to see improvement. long term expectation, for me it’s still just to make the tourney. Look at what we lose after this year, it’s going to get worse before it gets better, thus the importance on this season to make the tourney and get that monkey off our backs. making the tourney this year is so so so important and they are doing everything in their power to jeopardize that. When we say we could be 16-0, we really should be

IU Scott put down almost verbatim what I’ve said in other threads but a few important changes: would go with a 9 man rotation. (4-5) TJD 34, Race 34, Geronimo 12 - Geronimo always playing the 4, Race slides to the 5 for 3 minutes each half while TJD sits. (2-3) Stewart 25, Kopp 25, Bates 15, Leal 15 (1) Galloway 30, Johnson 10 The faster the pace the better on offense and pressure on defense

I know Bates has a lot on his mind but he has potential to be good - I want to see progression and coaching making him better

What does that -13.8 BPM next to Phinisee’s name mean?

Does anyone have the +- from last night?

I want a tighter rotation. Galloway, X split time at point. Leal, Stewart and Kopp split time at sg and sf and Geronimo, Thompson and TJD split time at pf and c. no more phinisee, no more Durr. Tighten it up so we never have more than 3 starters sitting and keep balance.

Did you watch the game tonight?

What is the harm of starting Galloway at point? X is a solid backup and Phin has had 4 years here to prove he can contribute and hasn’t. try something different otherwise we will be sitting at 18 wins and on the wrong side of the bubble.

Unless you are Phinisee and your shot is as good as a turdover

If you told me he was caught throwing games over a 4 year span I wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest

Aka white

Not one player in the right place on the trap

If only we had a senior point guard to lead us

I want a review on Phinisee for point shaving. No other explanation

Phin has been awful

I would say no

Never understood this law - if both are consenting adults, who cares?

It may not come at Iowa, but this team needs to learn to win on the road. We haven’t seen that in forever and it has been a program destroyer.

Sounds like we need to guard the 3 and not foul. Easier said than done

Hmm, that’s interesting because IU has not played well away from home but at the same time, IU has been pretty solid against Iowa in recent years. we shall see

Agree. Rankings are nice, feels good to see a number next Indiana. Helps with fan moral, recruiting, buzz in the media… it’s worth something and at the end of the day, it confirms we are relevant as a program
