He cut his hair and his game went to ****.

So no more Green for the game. I have no issue playing him early. But if he plays bad, he sits for the game. He doesn’t like it, then goodbye.

OSU loses Carton and supposedly they are dealing with injury issues. IU gets a road win. IU - 65 tOSU - 54

He is going to be a very very good upperclassman.

Just have Phinisee and Franklin play the guards spots the rest of the way. No more subs for them and no more Green for us.

Foul trouble/injuries are an issue. I would bench Green and Damezi but with the foul troubles and injuries it’s not even possible.

Did I say I was over Green?

I’m already done with Green for the night. The shot he mad wasn’t even a good shot.

Officiating has changed. Road teams are getting a better whistle.

I think Durham is the kind of guy you love to have on your team and come off the bench. He can bring that hustle and determination that opposing teams hate off the bench. But the other guys at his position are not better than he is right now, or they aren’t ready yet. So he starts by default. I do think Franklin will surpass Al by next season and be the starter next to Rob. I expect TJD to stay. Next year, IMO, is the year that we challenge for the Big Ten title.

Maryland made more FT than we attempted, which was a 4 point swing and the game.

Honestly, I’m indifferent on Green and Al. I think both have a limited ceiling overall and that Rob and Franklin have higher ceilings. So I have no issue with who was on the court to end the game. Now those players decisions I question.

Green actually played a good game, until the end. His good play up to that point earned him the minutes late. Archie always rides the hot hands in end game situations. Green went into hero mode and took a dumb shot. Hunter turned it over. TJD missed a bunny for the win. That shot goes down and everyone is thrilled. Maryland is a really good team and everyone was saying that IU needed to go 1-1 on this tough home stand. They were a missed bunny from going 2-0. Tough road ahead, but the goal is still the same. Just male the NCAA’s. Team keeps playing like they have the last couple weeks and we will be fine in selection Sunday.

Assembly Call had a post about coaches and close games. Archie is actually one of the top coaches in close games. His winning % in close games is actually very very good.

Thanks for the title change mods. Much better look. I was pretty negative about Archie a few weeks ago. He has turned it around and I’m back to being cautiously optimistic about him. It doesn’t have to do will the wins and losses either. It’s about the effort and accountability. Those are culture defining and will set is up for a promising future.

I must admit I don’t like having a thread titled fire Archie Miller having over 50 pages on the front of the forum. That’s embarrassing. Lock the thread or change the title to just negativity thread.

Great win. Now let’s get back to back wins vs ranked teams.

I agree we will pile up some more road losses. However, I do think we win at Michigan. It’s a matchup issue. They sell out to stop the 3 and refuse to double team down low. Which plays into IU’s strengths. Just hold serve at home and get another road win and we are looking really really good come selection Sunday.

Big Ten road win, so it’s big. Also, I believe this was the last game that could have been considered a bad loss. Everything from here on out is quad 1 and 2 games. Now let’s protect the home court with a couple of ranked wins.

Lol. Not a reach on foul or anything. Lol

Big Ten baby. I expect the same treatment in our favor next week. Lol.

It’s over. Nebraska would have to go on a 9-0 run over the next 88 seconds.

Yeah. I’m a firm believer that you call a timeout when the opposition goes on a 6-0 run. Timeout to break the momentum, regardless of TV timeout.

2 more points will seal this one. 75 points and it’s out of reach.
