IU-DL

How about Dawson Garcia? We recruited him out of HS and he just entered the portal, transferring from NC. Long shot, I'm sure, but one can hope/dream.

Gooooooooood morning! Thought you all could use a good'ol Saturday morning laugh at the expense of Purdue. Enjoy!

Didn't JG already say he was coming back?

I told you I wear crimson goggles. I think Race can be 1st team B1G; it's an opinion, brotha! I love his game; he has not yet hit his ceiling and would be our starting big man. He can defend, rebound, play "big" (some) and shoot mid range. If he develops even more, that's what we'll see and that's why I said what I said.

Help me understand why it's a given that Race is gone? He's still very pro-IU all over social media, he would be a legit contender for 1st team B1G next year, he can stay if he wants and transferring really doesn't do much for him. The dude is a worker, he has verbalized his love for Woody and he loves IU. I want him back, but I pretty much wear crimson goggles at all times.

I was talking about JG, who I think should start. He brings so, so much more to this team than the two guards in front of him, neither of whom are PGs. Also, I'd give Leal a shot, yes. RP and X aren't just inconsistent, they're one out of every five games sort of guys.

Honest question after yet another winnable game. Many of us, myself included, become frustrated with the same old things over the past two coaching spurts (CTC, CAM). I was hoping CMW would be a breath of fresh air from a roster management perspective, yet from my couch-coaching perspective, I'm totally perplexed. Crazy lineups giving up large leads, repeated. At least 3 guys with repeated poor performances getting good playing time. At least one guy on the bench that plays harder and smarter than his peers yet gets limited playing time. If we don't see mid-season adjustments, we shouldn't expect any different results for the remainder of the season.

Man...they didn't come through in slow motion. That sucks....no need to watch 2-second clips. If anyone wants to see them in slow-mo, DM me and I'll text them to you.

What is this youtube you speak of? Thanks

I had courtside seats last night thanks to my attorney and have some incredible videos; slow-motion. Any idea on the best way to publish a video on here?

Thank you for sharing your opinion! Merry Christmas!

Thinking through the sloppy 2nd half, but I like what I see out of Woodson. He’s teaching a ton of lessons to these guys and figuring out who has the ability to step up. CMW doesn’t seem to like to run the score up on opponents as much as using a lead to build depth on the team. All the players seem to buy in; TJD could score another 10 per game in situations like this if CMW would play him, but he’s teaching others (Durr, JG, etc.). I love it. We could have won by 50 last night, but how does that help us grow? Hopefully, we'll understand this better come late Feb./early March.

I don't participate in the prediction league...not sure why, but I don't think Syracuse is going to give us the problems they traditionally have. We've all read the anti-preparation stories from when Crean faced them in the sweet 16. Woody put it on Fife and the coaches to prepare. And as I'm reading, X and PS have both played against that zone & are helping coach us in practice. I believe the key to win will be in our D, not our O. More scattered thoughts here, but Syracuse is also not as "long and athletic" like they have been in the past, which makes that zone very tough. I think we hit our 3s, break up their zone, play tough D and surprise some folks. Adjusted Defense #156!!! https://kenpom.com And Sagarin is lower on them than KenPom... https://sagarin.usatoday.com/2022-2/college-basketball-team-ratings-2021-22/ VCUs 258th rated offense put up 68 on them and won by double digits... We have something to prove and are playing with purpose. IU 77, Cuse 62.

It's like you want him to fail so you can say "told ya so"...and I don't get it. I'm enjoying this team and CMW. The players love him, they're having fun and we're playing with purpose again. Fill your cup!
