Is this where we finish the game thread

Whether or not you've coached or played "high level" basketball, it's clear that simple in game adjustments are not happening with Woodson. We hit our first shot 5ish minutes in the 2nd half on a pick and pop by Ware. We didn't run it again. It's maddening watching a guy get paid millions of dollars leave his 7 foot NBA player on the bench with .3 seconds left on an inbounds play under the basket. Maybe it's all too advanced for my brain and I shouldn't question the staff.

How many double digits losses negate "deserving"? Seems like we've had a lot of those this year. And getting completely embarrassed twice by Purdue....

There is no possible way anyone in their right mind can think Woodson should be coaching next year. This was an absolute embarrassment

What an awesome game for Leal and Ware. If I'm Woody I start getting in MM's ear about making the MR commitment to getting in shape. He seems to hit a lot more jumpers early on in games. And he doesn't have any explosiveness. Speed and agility drills all summer.

I don't understand how anyone thinks MM is anywhere near NBA ready. He is soooooo slow. He wouldn't be able to guard anybody in the G-league

Not one 3 point attempt. Not a even play to try and get MM an open shot. Why would a wing ever want to play in this system?

Love his game. But the effort on blocking out is inexcusable

Everybody on here is 10 seconds behind. Lol.

Maybe this year the B10 will take a good hard look at it's officiating style and how it's not working in their favor. The argument has always been that they didn't care about changing because of the amount of bids each year. The B10 looks awful right now and it'll be interesting to see how many teams will get in the tournament. Trying to stay positive after yesterday's game. Lol

He needs to show up against good competition. He's been worthless today.

Ware needs to step up his game against good competition too. He's been worthless today

The competition

Yep McDaniel was 3-14 from the field and 0-4 from 3. He just lit Oregon up.

Not trying to be completely negative but our perimeter ball movement and offense is so hard to watch. I haven't seen hardly any ball fakes or pump fakes this year. Everybody looks too uptight. They're def pressing. Hopefully they settle down and have some fun. There is a lot of talent out there. You guys and gals might hear from me a little more this year. Dad passed away this year. And we talked before and after every IU game. Love this site. Been a daily reader for quite few years. Go Hoosiers!

I would like to see a film breakdown of our defense and a P5 team with an average perimeter defense. There seems to be so much chaos going on and it all starts with the over helping IMO. Is this Woodsons defense or the players we have? Giving up an open mid range is still better than a wide open on 3.

X is the only guy who can create at all right now. Hopefully that changes as other guys get more comfortable. Pick and roll or pound the paint and work the ball inside out. Not a fan of the motion offense with this team.

Would love to see some off ball screens for MM. He just doesn't seem to be quick enough to create

Think Woodson is trying to make a statement to the starters with the bench?

we should be playing a little more inside out. Especially when you can't get a bucket.

Cody Zeller for me

Agreed. Run a little pick n pop/roll with X

The offense looks so slow so far.

Hopefully JHS takes this confidence with him the rest of the year. What a game in a very tough environment! LFG!
