IU - Kaulie

I can’t keep up with that game lol.

Ok.

We are talking tobacco products right lol?

Know nothing about Blew Chew but my grandpa liked Red Man.

Who said anything about middle aged dudes. Am I right Old Fart?

I didn’t mean to derail the thread, so with that being said. Fire. Mike. Woodson.

Who has time for that? I said tonight :)

Thank you Olivia! It’s nice to see you.

You got two sad faces :(

I’m doing well. Thank you!!

Why wait until tomorrow. Let’s do it tonight.

Tell me more!

I agree with some of that. We did win against a bad team and looked as bad as they did. It’s about stacking wins. There are opportunities out there to do so. Mgbako can sit. Goode can play 40 minutes. It won’t happen but we have options. I sadly expect to see Mgbako in the starting lineup against Northwestern. Can’t win with him. My only hope is CMW at least drastically cuts his minutes. We will have more double digit losses, but there are enough wins out there to put us in a position to make the tournament. He’s gone at the end of the season but not before.

A drink huh. Have things changed as far as your situation? I have to know! I haven’t posted in forever. (I have my reasons).

Ok guys… Last nights game changed EVERYTHING. That’s my unpopular opinion. He’s still gone at the END of the season. If we had got blown out last night, and blown out at Northwestern then that would have been it. I mean he is not walking into SSAH after that. I mean besides, who doesn’t like to get blown anyways right? That win saved him for the time being. Look at how HARD the team played. The coaches were coaching hard too. Woodson’s reaction after the game said it all. He knew it. They all knew it. I think that there is a real chance this team goes 11-9 in conference and wins a game in the conf tourney. That gets them in March Madness and Woodson can say he got us back or whatever he wants to say and goes out on good terms. Now the only way that happens is if Mgbako sits. I have said since the first time I saw him play he can’t play at this level. I argued Banks should have started over him but this staff couldn’t unlock Banks. He doesn’t have the athleticism or motor to play at this level. Leal should have been playing a lot more minutes his whole career here. He won Woodson two games last year after all. Btw when are teams going to learn you can’t iso Leal late in games? Goode is not going to score like that every game but he will score enough. MR will be back. Mgbako should not be starting, and should be around 10 minutes per game. He shouldn’t be in late game situations. Idk if Woodson sees it but I hope he has seen enough to cut down his minutes. We are NOT what our record says we are. We are not good, but there is a path to get 10 or 11 wins and a possible March Madness invitation. Last night’s game did change some things. Having said all that, I really hope that I’m wrong.

I don’t know about that.

Classy post. Several points I can make, but I’m not going to address this right now.

As a recent IU graduate, and having been to a few other campuses, the ‘game experience’ at IU is severely lacking. It’s almost comical. Those things matter to college students. Have to give them a reason to get into the stadium and actually stay. Winning consistently will certainly help, but more has to be done besides the play on the field. I think as we get into fall and it becomes more tolerable to be outside along with the team doing well, more students will come and more will stay. However, student attendance will not really change until the total game experience changes.

Out.

I tend to agree with you on a lot of topics but not this. Just take the Pacers and who they have played. Edey can’t hold up against Hali/Myles Turner in the pnr game. He can’t go out and guard Brook Lopez on the perimeter. The Knicks playmaking big man would pick him apart on the top of the key with his passing ability. I don’t like Edey one bit, and I will say he has come a long way but this isn’t college. These NBA bigs are on another level. I will enjoy seeing someone like Myles Turner or TJD driving and dunking on his head. In my opinion, Edey is a backup big that you can throw it into that can get buckets, but will be made to look silly by NBA point guards and big men on the defensive end. There are a number of teams I bet that won’t even be interested at all in drafting him.

I have a hard time seeing Edey as anything more than a backup big. He will be able to get buckets but these NBA point guards will make him look silly trying to cover on the other end.

I have a question for you guys. So I haven’t really watched a lot of NBA basketball. Not over the last couple of years anyway. I saw some of the Bucks series and caught the game last night. I was really interested in watching Haliburton because that’s who gets talked about obviously. Is that who he is? I see that he plays with good pace and can pass the ball but all his shots look to be step back 3’s that he doesn’t hit at a high percentage. The game winner against the Bucks was nice but all the other times I have seen him penetrate he always seems to be looking to throw it to someone else even when he seems to have a step and could take a good shot. His backup has looked like the better player to me. For someone that really hasn’t seen him play what am I missing?

You’re one to talk!

Prayers up LCS!
