OKHOOSIER

People were worried about the optics of firing a coach after three seasons with two tournament appearances. Anyone with a couple brain cells to rub together could look at the way we played, the recruiting, the huge losses, the overall lack of good wins (even with TJD), the portal method, and see where this train was headed. I would much have preferred the “optics” of firing Woody after three years than how ugly Michigan will be if we get nuked and he’s on the sideline. People want to blame the fans— you’ll actually have that opportunity due to waiting a year too long to fire him if he’s on the sidelines losing at home again.

Rough night, happy to be wrong though.

I dunno, nothing about last night moved the needle for me. Much like the Penn State “road” win this is fools gold. We beat a mediocre team missing its leading scorer and we didn’t really look impressive in the process. Ohio State was the only team in the top fifty with 7 losses, and now are the only team with 8 losses in the top eighty. The computers love them, and maybe they’ve played better, but what I saw last night was not a good team. It’s a good win for the team, it means nothing for Mike Woodson’s job security IMO

Leal seal.

Goode woke up and chose violence today. He needs to Twitter fight DD more.

OB is working today.

Bonus basketball. Why we didn’t feed Ballo the last three minutes is baffling

Tough day for Rice

Let’s go Trey!

29!!??

I think it would actually be Q1a. I just looked and the computers love Ohio for some reason

How did this team beat Kentucky lol

Let’s put these goobers away.

Our guards can’t shoot. It’s insane.

That guy said no to the patented Gallo “make the layup look as difficult as possible”

This rough at both ends, but at least we’re in it!

Carlysle hit a three! Good for him seriously. Kid needed that

Hatton points let’s go.

Should have amended the prediction. This might be first to 60 wins

Wait this one is national? Oh boy.

I expect OB to have a huge game. Ohio is really short. I think they have one guy over 7’ but I don’t think he plays much.

Totally agree, they collapse at the first sign of adversity due to being a rudderless ship. They know our system is not constructed in a way that lends itself to comebacks. Sometimes they almost look frustrated at the lack of identity and structure. There’s a good team in these parts, they’ve all just been utterly and completely failed by this coaching staff.

Guessing we won’t see Cupps in an IU uniform again, he’s at 4 games played, so he’s basically guaranteed a medical exemption for this season. Makes zero sense for him to come back and risk going through what XJ did to get his year.

Hey at least we can cross between 2-4 missed threes off of our final stat line tonight.
