In all fairness you called us all “POS fans”. I’m actually one of the more traditional fans that hate court storming and profane chants but am tired of the fans being scapegoated into what has clearly been malpractice handling of our program. I don’t love that they target one of our own players but also understand the frustration and when you miss the tournament annually thing can boil over. Our fans are the only thing that still separate us from Rutgers and Penn State.

Mike Woodson is that you? Here we go blaming the fans again….

Gonna take more than a good recruit to fix what is going on. Decades of bad decisions and screwing up something that should be easy tends to build up frustration. Add in a coach that most didn’t want along with players who are getting rich off of losing and it does have consequences

POS fanbase? Don’t like getting booed then go back to the mid majors. Fans are sick of the last two decades and have every right to boo whoever they want. No accountability or toughness. Bring more effort, play hard and smart and it takes care of itself. The fans/donors are the only reason that a recruit may consider us. It certainly wouldn’t be because of our mid major coach and players

Thanks for the info here. True question for everyone but is UCLA really much better than IU

I don’t disagree and watch the play in games every year as well. Never really thought about the financial side of it but that does make sense. Essentially then it is more beneficial for a 16 seed to get put in the play in game

I agree and hate the play in games especially for the 16 seeds. If they got an autobid let them play in the actual bracket instead of what amounts to an extension of their conference tournaments.

I’d love to see what Collin’s could do here with the ability to tap into more talent. He’s a solid coach that is able to exploit matchup advantages wherever available and knows the rigors of B1G play. All that aside, if we lose to MSU, does anyone thing that the two games against Minnesota and OSU, paired with two B1G tournament wins could keep us in the conversation?

Can we use next year’s NIL money to pay a buyout? Then it’s money well spent

Can’t believe I am now wishing Woodson did get 1 more year. At least we would have the rumor mill to look forward to. What does Devries get, at least 2 more?

CBS I believe is run by a Purdue guy Jerry Palm. He is usually negative about all things IU

What is better than getting a 30 pt win over your rival?? Not playing at Purdue

What did Sisley do to be this deep in the dog house? He has to offer more than Miles

Random question for the board that I guess could fit here. Did we ever actually run the play Cig coined “Wizard” in a pregame interview? if so do we know what the play actually was?

I think the NIL argument works both ways for a team and its fans. There is optimism that next year can be better but to be honest it makes bad times worse knowing the coach and these players are getting rich while putting this product out

I hope you are right but I’d argue that their management of the basketball program has lost a lot of our fans. We’ve had two hires to fix it and nothing

If we could have kept Woodson this year we could at least have a coaching search this offseason. As it is we are stuck with this basketball for another few years.

I don’t expect change because ownership hasn’t proven they can make the right moves but the player management with injuries makes me think there is desperation behind the scenes. As far as QB options we should definitely be looking at Malik Willis who will be a free agent.

At this point we need to accept that the nba is essentially the WWE. We are expecting the officials to call by the rules and say they are trash when they miss calls when in reality they are doing their job perfectly.

It could though. Buy the best talent and winning will usually take care of itself

So who are we all rooting for on Monday?

Is the legit a chance this could happen or just a wishlist thing?

Please do say more. Would like to know more about what led up to this.

I would like nothing more than to eat crow but I’m afraid we will be hearing about Brad Stevens again in four years.

If that is true that makes the whole hiring worse because it would mean we didn’t entertain better coaches.
