Did Mack just travel prior to getting that 5 second? He wasn't allowed to move, no?

60 points with 13 minutes to go! An offensive clinic

I was already assuming both he and Ware were bound for professional basketball regardless. Walker will be done and I wouldn't be surprised by some portal turnover on IU's own roster so just assume the guard and wing positions will look incredibly different next season with Liam the only known addition. Wasn't aware of the backstory of landing Mgbako, just was more alluding to Woodson being able to land 6+ new impact players through portal and recruiting

Not going to go as far as say "cooked", but this is my fear as well. He had an open scholarship and got JHS to the league and couldn't convince any portal guard to help a Big10 program with a bunch of NIL money this offseason? He's going to have more spots to fill at guard and wing next season, I've not seen much ability to land talent in volume that, imo, is going to be required to overhaul this roster to achieve the heights he's talking about - conference and national championships He's done well landing some bigger fish during the offseason coaching carousel - Malik and MM - but he needs a lot of help from where I sit

Good to know that we won't be seeing that sub pattern in future games. Won't answer it because he's retiring it after tonight, obviously

Likely overthinking it, but with how Woodson has added late each class, there's not a lot of cohesion it feels. With this incoming class, it feels like Woodson, or whoever is coaching next season, will have to scramble to assemble a complete roster. Ware is the shot blocking and offensive replacement for TJD. Mbako provides some of that shooting, but watching those two with Malik together defensively requires a lot of squinting for it to look any good. Then you add the guard issues and lack of bench options and this team has some serious issues. Tonight should have been winnable. IU should have been able to take advantage inside with Reneau and Ware to scrape a win

Common foul per the commentary team

Once upon a time, the only thing questionable about Coach Mike Woodson, some would have us believe, was his ability to recruit 18 year olds...

What this IU teams needs is a good trade deadline addition at guard? Woodson hoping for that?

Shouldn't Woodson's NBA connections help us score more than 50 points in a college basketball game? Putrid display against an awful Rutgers team

I'm wondering if Liam is going to be asked to play PG next season. He is signed right, no takebacksies?

We lack so guard play so much that no one wants to take the ball up the court that we just throw it away. This is so hard to watch. I know it's been talked about so much - but how Woodson went into this season with these guards is incomprehensible to me. Unbelievably bad basketball

We look really good off the bus. Have you seen how tall these guys are?

Reneau has never seen a double team he didn't think he could work through. Pass the ball!

Letting a terrible shooting team rebound until they make one and not making a single free throw. So damn frustrating

I think they kept the foul on the Rutgers player, but didn't add a flagrant to it. They accessed X a Flagrant 2 upon the review. Didn't realize you could do that until tonight, but was grabbing my phone charger at the time and my Peacock audio isn't in sync with the video, but I thought they kept the foul on the Rutgers player, just kept it as a common foul

The little patch that some of the Rutger's players have showing through there shorts is driving me insane. Thought someone was having a flu game until I realized it was blue in color

Rutgers has missed plenty of good looks. IU is lucky to be leading

Likely, although do think practicing with Walker all season will be beneficial for him. Seems like an easy, lazy?, player comp for Banks to emulate

Banks is so one dimensional offensively. He’s looking to drive it to the basket and not much else. Disappointing, was hoping for a bigger leap from last season

From what I saw last night, one member of the staff watches the games with only 1 eye open. Know it's late, but found that interesting

This team needs a major overhaul in the portal or recruiting trail. Need some athleticism, shooting, guard play, and someone who is willing to rebound. Had forgotten Beard was at Ole Miss when he was brought up recently. He had 9 new players join the Rebel program. Need that type of change. I’m not sure I see a lot of high caliber B1G players watching IU. Certainly not for a championship team

Gunn in the doghouse or any injury?

And give the Huskers more possessions?

Having a software release so half watching currently, but IU players love that shot right inside the 3 point line
