If that’s the attitude we need in a coach, maybe Beard was the right choice.

And while they win the game they fail to win the championship.

Wow. We’re really digging deep for the next coach.

I prefer not calling a TO there at the end. See IU’s last game. Would’ve been under 7 seconds by the time you got the TO. We’d have to run a set. That would take time to setup. We don’t have a one-on-one guy.

How does Woodson not call a timeout after three straight buckets that cause you to lose the lead? Instead Leal gets stripped and now IU will be losing after free throws

Is there something to him being on the court, or that he was keeping bigger negatives off the court by playing?

So, like a Purdue sorority party?

My hope is Cupps ends up in his junior and senior season being a better shooting version of Aaron Craft.

Two in a row since this post. I knew he wouldn’t like the reference to Newkirk. You’re all welcome.

If JHS’ shooting continues like this, how long before we worry that we have a more talented version of Josh Newkirk.

On the ball that hit the Wisconsin player out of bounds, was the ref telling Woodson the ball went over the corner of the backboard (which would be out on IU)?

Woodson is never going to play Lander in front of Phinisee as long as Lander keeps forgetting how to run the plays called from the sideline. There’s no trust from a head coach when you see this. Lander will have to earn trust in practice or in a game where he plays as 3rd PG due to fouls or injury.

Might be a Woodson teaching moment to X about dumb fouls.

I’m wondering if Woodson was told about him by an NBA contact he has.

I originally imagined Kopp starting at the 4, but the more I think about it I’ve changed my mind. I think we’d struggle tremendously at rebounding. I’m now thinking, and voted, the following. PG - Xavier Johnson, SG - Parker Stewart, Wing - Miller Kopp, PF - Race Thompson (assuming can shoot at 30+% from three), and C - Trayce Jackson-Davis.

But it’s the same roster that lost to North Texas. Don’t get me wrong, they’ll be good, but I can’t see them being #1.

In a non-pandemic year, look at a UCLA crowd at a home game. We are definitely not UCLA.

While I don’t think you could call that a technical in this game, I would like it to be a technical starting next year. To me it’s either taunting a defender or showing up a ref. I’m so tired of hearing players scream it.

A lot of great offensive sets ran tonight. Love it.

Trayce is soooo bad on pick-n-roll defense. He will be in the G-league his entire NBA career if he doesn’t figure it out. You can’t be bad at that as an undersized 4-man with no shooting ability or right hand.

Trayce never throws a skip pass or pass fakes when he’s doubled. Infuriating.

In fairness to Fran, they maintained a 6+ point lead the whole time Garza was out until about the last two minutes when we went on that unforeseen 90 second spurt. He may very well have put Garza back in if the game started turning towards IU.

We have a TJD right hand sighting.

Can we petition the B1G to not play anymore noon games on Sunday? We always suck at noon.

Where is Leal?
