This is seriously trash. It's like watching an early season mid major (IU) playing a team looking for a good warm up (Michigan)

1st game I've watched this year. Poor roster construction. Multiple bigs on the floor clogging up driving lanes. Poor shooting. No quick, elusive dribble drive guards. Just nothing that says this team can win against decent competition.

It's Indiana...we'll end up with a B list guy.

If BS comes here after turning down the job last cycle, I would be shocked...ecstatic, but shocked. I understand how the landscaped has changed. I won't get my hopes up this time.

I haven't read the 100s of pages today. So please explain why exactly people believe Brad Stevens would come coach IU bball after being in the NBA for the past decade plus. Fool me once...

As a fan lurking on message boards for a decade and a half, I haven't watched a single game all year. This is how bad the situation in Bloomington is. Lifelong fans just don't give a **** anymore.

Remember when we all thought we were getting Brad Stevens, like legitimately thought there was a deal being drawn up? Then he called himself a Masshole and we ended up with Mike Woodson. The rest of the country had to be laughing. But then we actually talked ourselves into thinking it may work because he had Dane Fife and Thad Matta to help. Holy ****, typing that out is depressingly hilarious.

I'm not watching this year. No point in investing time and emotional energy into something with a high chance of failure. I'm fine if IU loses every game if it means Woodson is gone. Here's to hoping someone other than QB and the other asshat BOTs (maybe, you know Dolson the AD?) gets the final say on the next hire.

Why did Mgbako only play 13 minutes?

It takes effort and determination by the coaching and administration to field a team this consistently poor at shooting the basketball.

Someday IU basketball will be relevant again, but it won't happen with Woodson on the bench. We are in the midst of another wasted season of 40 years wandering in the desert.

What stakes are they holding? Winning doesn't seem to be one of them.

Honestly, I'm on the "don't care if they lose" train. I don't have any particular affinity for any of the players on the team outside of maybe Galloway and Reneau. If losing means tearing it all down then I'm on board.

I just can't get behind a Woodson coached team anymore. I hope this is last year one way or another.

So what is the current scholarship situation?

The antithesis of Edey. Robot vs Mr Charisma

And the Lawyet travel

Purdue already in the bonus less than 7 mins in

Purdue getting the calls early

I find myself, rather disgustingly, rooting for Purdue today. It appears my 7 year old son will win our neighborhood bracket challenge if Purdue wins the championship and UConn does not go to the championship game. He picked all the games entirely on his own and is currently in 2nd place.

For some reason it appears Houston isn't playing very hard, they look like they're asleep to me. Weird.

Just listened to Brian Evans rant on JMV about the state of the program under Woodson. He makes some very good points.

Yes to Tre Dinkins, if only for the name alone. Commentators would have pun fun with that one

I agree with Steuben on this one. Go rant about firing Woodson somewhere else. I want a different coach too but let's talk about the game here

This game is probably over, but I want to at least see a team come out in the 2nd half and compete.
