They do not call fouls on Edey for sure and franimal is about level 7 at the moment.

I agree with this and thoroughly enjoyed some of Creans teams of course. He was quirky for sure but they did play an exciting brand of basketball.

I have seen 3 national championships in my life. I was younger of course but canyon imagine what it would be like being a young person in the last 20 plus years and being an IU fan. Hard to fathom how many fans we have lost in that time to other programs or just not watching at all. None of my sons follow IU basketball or any other sports. I watch every game and read almost every comment on this board myself because I remember the great times from the past. All the younger generations that are fans and rooting for IU to succeed are truly amazing to me how you haven't wavered. Hopefully they will get back to the top in my lifetime and then you will see what you have truly been missing because it was so special.

Buckner should pay the money to clean this mess up.

No we don't, we chase stars and not smart, winning basketball players.

Good lord......

We have life, sparks hit 2 free throws and gets a block. Anything is possible now.

IU 71. GO BIG RED Badgers 68. No I don't truly believe this but can't hardly predict an L for my Hoosiers.

IU 74. GO BIG RED...... purdont 71

Didn't call several on her in the first half but after the lead was around 20 they called 3 in the 2nd half.

Obviously they are not going to call fouls on clark.

Good win, balanced scoring and rebounding was better. Actually witnessed some blocking out. Let's beat pu now.

It very well could be, I wish he would have carried over the defense mindset along with rebounding as well. I believe that RMK was definitely better structured. Every player knew exactly what was expected from them. The game planning was always solid.

We are up to 6 now with 4 turnovers.

I think CMW knows what he wants in a roster but unfortunately he can't recruit well enough to get there. He gets some top prospects but not enough to put it all together and he isn't a good enough coach to overcome the lack of physical talent we don't have. We have some athletes on this team but they aren't becoming basketball players very quickly and that very well could be on the coaching staff. Not communicating what they actually need to do in a way the players can understand. Plenty of size and quickness to rebound but unfortunately we are terrible at it. That is just one example. Also think the players are timid at this time, maybe afraid to make a mistake and that causes hesitation. They all need to relax and play basketball, get back to the basics and do the little things. Play lockdown defense, rebound the ball and let the offense take care of itself. Get out in transition more and run. Yes we will make some mistakes but it will get better. Let the defense and rebounding cover the offensive mistakes we make.

12 to 10

Maryland with a 6pt run to take the lead 12 to 19 now.

10 min to go in first half a Michigan is leading Maryland 10 to 6.

IU. 76. GO BIG RED gophers 66

I agree on this completely. The concern that I have is the trajectory of the program at this time. Not really seeing a lot of development overall from the players and a really bad product on the floor. I'm sure recruits see it also. Hope he can pull a rabbit out of his hat but at this point it's a long shot.

Unfortunately I think CMW can't recruit enough top talent to win with nor can he coach and develop lesser talent to win with either. I don't understand how we are so strong with our NIL program that we can't attract more talent than we have?

Truly does not feel responsible for how poorly we played at all in my opinion or that his sub pattern was a momentum killer.

We have a lot of experience on the sidelines with our coaching staff, surely someone sees the flaws that we all see. I guess it's more of a question but is CMW so stubborn and set in his ways that he won't listen to any of these guys?

I wasn't crazy about the CMW hire but eventually warmed up to it and actually started to believe the hype from some when we started getting some highly rated recruits. But the coaching and improvement hasn't come. In game and fundamentals are extremely lacking. I'm thinking this experiment is not going to work and could possibly get lots worse as next year we just don't have much coming in at this point and can't believe that a quality transfer would want to come into this mess.

X is our senior leader on this team, I think that says it all right there. Stupid, stupid play.
