There’s nothing appealing about IU right now. Not surprised that instate prospects are looking elsewhere.

Looks like there is already a built-in excuse if they lose tonight.

Uhhh...he recruited almost all of the players who shot 4/36 outside of the paint.

I am from Bloomington and started going to IU games when I was eight years old. IU basketball means a lot to me and its lack of success hurts so I do get angry at the many people responsible for its demise.

How dare I be negative in the Unbridled Negativity Thread.

And the idiot who hired him won’t be around to take the blame and face accountability.

Crean deserved to be fired but IU went out and hired a coach with fewer accomplishments in a weaker conference than Crean when he was hired.

Thankfully there is enough left of the dwindling fanbase that doesn’t accept this **** to make some noise and apply some heat to the pencil pushers in the athletics department. But I know their ultimate goal is to have an apathetic fanbase that accepts mediocrity so everyone keeps their job with no accountability.

Steve Pikell at effing Rutgers has built a better basketball program than IU. That is where things are right now. It took a massive institutional failure to bring about the current state of affairs.

As well as Fat Aussie, Shoulders, and the entire compliance department.

So yeah, things are still rotten in this program.

This doesn’t make any sense. Why should Penn State and Rutgers have to be bad forever? Should they not try to be competitive? Should IU football stink eternally so Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State can have a guaranteed win? The rich shouldn’t be assured of staying rich just because they have been rich in the past.

That was not OPI.

Let’s see how these next two games go. Both are winnable, especially Nebraska.

Still a clown. No change.

Great. Luck retired two weeks before the season started and two division rivals will play for the AFC Championship. Ridiculous. Irsay is a clown. Colts need to upgrade massively in the offseason.

I am glad they won but Ohio State is hot garbage right now, the free throw shooting must improve, and the effort and intensity have to be there away from Bloomington.

Wow, went ten minutes without a FG. Unreal.

So offensively inept.

According to the NET, IU is a high seed in the NIT right now.

If the offense performs the way the defense did this year then IU will regress. Hire proven, established coordinators and pay them what it takes.

It wasn’t any prettier in person.

This is exactly what the administration wants. They killed IU basketball. Fred is getting out to avoid the fallout but it is getting out of hand now.

That is a massive failure on the part of the administration. It is their job to provide the best facilities, resources, and culture possible to attract and retain a high quality coach. A new coach shouldn't have to plead for upgrades.
