The recruiting at their level is in a different universe than ours (and most programs) I know it’s “not all about the stars” but when you stack 55 four/five stars I like your odds to have a good team. Do 4/5 stars guarantee wins? Certainly not but the odds of success are enhanced.

Goode cares, is the most vocal guy on the court and plays hard. He has to know he is stuck with a crappy coach and was interviewed after being booed (for good reason) in the stadium that he dreamed of playing. Has to hurt. What he said, after a game and atmosphere like tonight, doesn’t bother me at all. For years athletes/teams/coaches in many sports have made “its us against the world” types of comments when their backs were against the wall.

If Dolson was indeed overruled I disagree that he should be fired.

My guess is that they are thinking about possibly thinking.

The way he kept his starters in it seemed as though the size of his bonus increased as the point spread increased.

I’ll bet there is a chance he gets terminated if we get blown out in both of the upcoming road games. The administration might want to avoid the booing, fire Mike Woodson chants etc that would occur at the Maryland home game (and after that we go to PU and Wiscy…LOL). If we split the two road games, however, he will probably cling on. The wheels HAVE to be turning in Bloomington. We will see.

I thought the odds of a mid-season termination were very low but if we get smoked in our next two games, both road games, things are so toxic that the administration might not want him coaching another home game. Lose at OSU and NW by 20 or so….who knows, he might get fired.

My interest level for the next game would dramatically increase if there was a halftime cage match between Woody and the sleeping guy on the bench.

Worst IU loss ever at the Hall was 32 points. Our warriors said NO WAY as they bravely battled to only lose by 25 as Gallo and Leal hit their typical meaningless end of game threes.

Come on refs. Just make a decision (the correct decision would be to invoke the mercy rule and just tell everyone to go home).

Per a TDH article from 2017, a 32 point home loss to Wisconsin in 2010 is the biggest home margin of defeat in IU history Above is a quote from another site. Woody is very close to adding to his legacy.

So is Woody going to say we have to get over the hump and need to get X back?

Carlyle, Gallo, Leal…that’s final four quality at the 2 guard spot.

The only reason I’m still watching is that I will win the prediction league if we outscore Illinois 30-2. So there’s a chance………!!!!

The best part of the game has been the Saban VRBO commercials. I got sick of his SEC rants but his VRBO commercials crack me up.

Does Buckner ever watch this sh!te? I’m sure Dolson is there. He is probably looking concerned on the outside but smiling ear to ear on the inside.

I wonder what all-time record halftime deficit is at the Hall.

Why?

A hour before the game I told my wife I felt like I was going to a job I hated but it’s been worse than that !?!

We are 0-6 from the three and at least five of them were wide open shots. We don’t take many threes combined with not being able to make enough of the ones we do take.

You guys are too negative. Let’s wait and see how Woodys halftime adjustments get us back in the game.

Getting some decent looks but the inability to shoot, for the last 8 years, is mystifying. Gallo from 3 and barely touches the front of the rim, Goode from 3 and another miss followed by yet another open three, by Gallo, and it is airballed. Almost comical.

I have no idea why Tom Van Arsdale isn’t being brought up. Hoosier legend that should be slotted, in my opinion, between Thomas and Wittman.

In my quest towards a low finish in the prediction league……. IU - 81 Illini- 76
