Well I can't help that you couldn't make the connection between Ballo and ANOTHER, (as I stated), big we've experienced that had no outside shooting ability. Sunshine pumpers are pumping like it's their career. Back over to the realistic thread I go

Whether or not he can shoot 3s really wasn't the main point, simply an observation. I see nothing SO FAR to change my perception that this team is still no better than 2 years ago

I didn't realize Mike Woodson was coaching either of those bigs. I'll go back and watch it again just in case I missed it

Another dominant big who can't shoot 3s. I hate to be a downer here but we've all seen this before.

I believe someone posted what the "dead period" rules were yesterday

If I'm not mistaken, the dead period only means no "in-person" contact. Too many people on here seem to think dead period means absolutely no contact. Could be wrong of course but me thinks it unlikely

With all due respect, this is perhaps one of the dumber requests I've seen in some time. Remember, I said with all due respect...

All of the above quite seriously. I've always thought Gallo is the perfect spark off the bench type player. If Woodson can find a guard with better consistency Gallo absolutely needs to be a 5th year off the bench player.

Put Gallo on the bench and then we'll really be on to something

Let's be real, we're only coming back if we make most of our shots and SC misses most of theirs in the 2nd half. It's simple arithmetic at this point...

Woodson? No, but it's absolutely reasonable to assume the HC has a say in how it's allotted and then passes that along the proper channels. It's probably not some troll hidden in the bowels of AH calculating these NIL $ and I very much doubt Dolson or Cindy are pulling figures out of their anus

Might want to find a new rumor mill, this aged like a stale fart.

I love watching good Indiana basketball!

Having watched IU all year and now watching Houston, the size of the canyon that is the difference between the 2 teams is so vast that it's embarrassing. None of their players have the look of "lacking confidence" on their faces and they're all nearly built like grown men. But hey, we grow basketball here?

Let us know when Jay is our coach

No, he's just not that great when there's something on the line. Can't teach that

Depressingly so

I would stay away from the physical traits argument. Plenty of guys who don't look like ball players could run circles around Payton Sparks on the basketball court.

I can't articulate enough how much I hate that we're struggling with NEBRASKA this much this season

You don't understand, nobody cares about what YOU think qualifies someone as a "true fan". Mike Woodson can't tell someone if they're a true fan or not, nor can Leal. Being a true fan is an emotional experience for each individual fan. They may hold views about the current state or direction of the program that you don't agree with but that doesn't mean they're any less a "true fan", whatever the hell that means, than you are. Folks need to stop trying to be the fan gatekeepers

These kids opened themselves up to legit criticism when A.) They chose to attend a basketball hungry university like IU and B.) They began getting paid. I don't remember anybody questioning the character of specifically Leal and Galloway on here. If anything, those 2 have been shown love, deserved or not, more than any player on that roster. Of course all of this is moot if most players beyond Leal and Galloway head for the exit

There you have it, according to ChatGPT

He may have sole decision making authority in all things basketabll according to his job description, but anybody with a job knows the unwritten aspects of making decisions aren't that black and white. Sure, I may decide that I'd like to turn a spare bedroom into a bowling alley at my house complete with pole dancers and ash trays, but the higher power that is woman that also lives there may have a problem with that

The "we can be successful getting loads of players from the portal" crowd seem to be forgetting a massive detail. WOODSON IS STILL THE COACH. Great transfer portal players don't mzke up for poor coaching, they just don't. Unless Woody is willing to implement a more modern system you can forget about it. He's just going to look worse taking better talent and still missing the tourney
