What is our cramping protocol?

On a different subject, I was listening to POTB this morning. They had Rick Bozich on and he said he was talking to an NBA scout about Langford. He asked the scout if Lagford had hurt himself by coming to Indiana. The scout's response was something like (I'm paraphrasing from memory), No, not at all. He is playing with a G-league player and 3 other players who are likely reserves on most other B1G teams. Ouch. If that's the case, there's a ways to go...

Mark me down as one of the people who doesn't understand the APR or why it was so bad after Crean left. I thought one of Crean's calling cards was getting his players to class and graduating. I don't understand how ours can be so bad when schools like Duke and Kentucky have a constant revolving door of players.

I agree - I too watched it live and I thought it seemed totally out of place. I remember wondering why he was doing that.

I have said before that Archie is stubbornly sticking with his way of doing things. I get that he wants to change the culture and he wants to do it his way. But how can you be so stubborn about that and let certain players totally screw up what you are trying to build? That is where the disconnect is for me if that is, in fact, what is happening .

Did you see the comments? Can't post it here, but one said: "Ironic how we can't say F*** you to Purdue basketball, yet OUR OWN AD is allowed to say F*** You to IU basketball.

Wow... 70 PPG! Love to get 70. The perpetual crimson optimist in me says this is the game we put it together. The logical side thinks that is idiotic.

I was at the gym this morning and one of the TV's was tuned to the Duke Network. I had my earbuds in, so I couldn't hear the sound, but it had to be the Duke Network. They showed 47 angles of Zion slipping and had several people and corporations discussing it. There was brief discussion about other sports and a brief story about the fact that Duke lost, but it seemed 80-90% of the programming was dedicated to Duke and Zion Williamson. They did keep popping up this "SC" between Duke stories. Not sure what that was all about.

...and how did that turn out?

I agree the guy can coach, but he didn't do a good job with the program overall. A lot of the reason Crean inherited a dumpster fire was due to the players Sampson brought in.

Agree. The losses would be easier to handle if you saw a silver lining of a bright future. I’m not seeing it... Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree, but this team has more talent than a lot of the teams they are losing to. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Haven’t seen Jake or Moore today. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Glad you said that. I’ve been disgusted with myself for agreeing with a lot of what he has said. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

That implies they started [emoji23] Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Can’t wait for Archie to start his press conference by giving Minnesota credit for playing well. Like you have to play well to beat us. You just have to show up with a pulse. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Al is the only one playing. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I’ll admit, I thought it was a good hire. Looking like I was very wrong. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Seriously have seen better HS coached teams. Way better... Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

But let’s tell him how great he was in the press conference after the game so we don’t kill his fragile psyche. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Our defense seems to be the cure for poor three point shooting. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

So, all the players and not the coach? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Called a TO for that? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Smith is this year’s Johnson without the consistent defense. No matter how poorly he plays, Miller refuses to take him off the court. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app
