IUBB @ Michigan - Tuesday, 12.05.23 @ 9:00 on Peacock TV
HoosierFan1994 replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Too early to tell this but: I like how CJ and Kaleb have been getting better. On the previous coaching staffs I feel players who barely played as a freshman just never got the hang of it. Collin Hartman is the only one that comes to mind. Felt like players who needed a second year jump always transferred out of the program. This is a welcoming sight to see. -

This depends on how successful IU is as a team, but he better get serious All-American consideration. -

Very good team win. I had to listen to the game on the radio so unfortunately can't actually see how everyone looked 1) This is a game I think IU loses in the Tom Crean or Archie Miller era. Well done by Coach Woodson, the staff, and players. Michigan is probably a borderline NCAA tournament team if that. But still, winning on the road, especially in Ann Arbor, is tough. 2) Sounds like CJ and Kaleb are starting to get it. Love to see that. Indiana needs them. Happy for them too. It hasn't been an easy year and a half for them at IU. 3) Felt like Malik and Kel'el gave IU a bucket when they needed it most. Love them at the 4/5 spots. If Malik can stay out of foul trouble and improve a bit on defense, I think he is the next great IU player. 4) Sounds like Trey was better in the second half? Still concerned about our guard play. LOVE Cupps. He plays well on defense. Sounds like he was on McDaniel who was 3 for 14 last night. Maybe some phantom fouls is what got him to 13 points. That being said, would love to see Gabe turn into a 5-7 points a game kind of player. Bottom line, when Xavier is back they need him to play at an All-Big Ten leve. 5) Don Fisher is awesome. IU is so lucky to have him. Why I had no problem listening to him instead of watching it. I think this team can beat Auburn Saturday. Would be another quality win before coming home to play Kansas. Overall, this team has been getting better. We didn't see that the first 5 games. -

Unfortunately won't be able to watch the game tonight. Not going to pay for a million streaming services. Any idea on how to listen to the game? Varsity app no longer works for me when I try to sync Fish with the TV. No clue what to expect tonight. The 2nd half of the Harvard game and the Maryland game outside the ending has me feeling better about this team. Tough to win on the road in college basketball. I think IU covers but Michigan finds a way to win. If Indiana can win this game, gives me confidence they can still be a top team in this conference (not sure that is saying much.) -

IF it is still between IU and Maryland, I don't see how he can pick Maryland other than them being the "hometown" school. Kel'el Ware's development so far this year and Trayce's last year is what I think will win this for Indiana. I was stunned at how bad Maryland looked Friday. Thought before the game they would win. They are way too talented to be playing like this. -
Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA
HoosierFan1994 replied to mamasa's topic in Indiana Hoosiers Football
Welcome coach Cig! Could tell yesterday afternoon that there was a lot of buzz around him. I hope he brings much needed energy to this IU Football program. Again, I am not the biggest IU Football fan. However, I root for them and want them to do well. 2019/2020/the 2021 preseason was awesome. IU fans just want that to be the norm. Said on here I'd love it if IU football became what UK Football is. I think Coach Cignetti can eventually make IU a bowl team every year. We will see how soon. NIL and the portal will be interesting. -
Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA
HoosierFan1994 replied to mamasa's topic in Indiana Hoosiers Football
Haven't been as active on here in the last week. Coach Allen had to go. Simple as that. Props to Dolson for making the change and not waiting another year. A 1-11 or 2-10 season was likely. Based on Hot Boards and names, I like these five names in order: Tom Herman Paul Chyrst Willie Fritz Jason Candle Ryan Silverfield I'll be honest, I had to do a lot of reading on the 3-5 candiates. Realistically Candle, Fritz, and Silverfield are the most likely options. I don't think there is a "grand slam" kind of hire here. Not saying these aren't good options, we have to wait and see. I personally think Tom Herman could win here but wouldn't be here long if he did. Chryst has proven he would win in the Big Ten. I like that he has been at Texas this last year. Feel like Fritz, Candle, and Silverfield are solid Non-Power 5 options. Personally think Herman and Chryst could have IU winning sooner rather than later. With the others it might be a few years. I'm not as big of a diehard IU football fan as some of you. I refuse to be the reverse letterman jacket IU Basketball and Notre Dame football fan. I root for all IU teams. All I want is IU football to consistently make a bowl game. I know we hate them, but I'd love it if IU became what UK Football is under Stoops. 7 straight bowls (4-3 record), finished a season in the top 15 twice, produced some solid NFL talent as well. Make IU football enjoyable. I knew when they were up 28-18 on Saturday that they would blow it. They have been so predicatable. -

IUBB vs Wright State - Thursday, 11.16.23 @ 7:00 on BTN
HoosierFan1994 replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Not much really to add to the conversation. First 12 minutes of the game it was a nice sight to see. I think IU was up like 13. Felt the starers sat way too long. The rest of the game was meh. Glad to see Mackenzie get some confidence on offense. I assume Sparks still is not 100%. Not saying they looked great, but it was nice to see Kaleb and CJ do something. This team needs. them. -

Bingo. I sat through the Indiana State game. If felt that the season was already over after that mess. I'm happy IU is 3-0. Just not how they've looked. We look awful but I'd rather look awful these games than against better competition. Assembly Call talked about this last night I think. Let's hope this team rises to the competition Sunday. -

I forgot to mention this last night...but I miss Miller Kopp and Race Thompson. Way more than I thought. I was wrong on that. -
IUBB vs Army - Sunday, 11.12.23 @ 7:00 on BTN
HoosierFan1994 replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Staff has to. At least right now. If IU wants to continue getting these top level players (outside of winning), you have to play him. If he sits the bench this will be used against Coach Woodson for the rest of time. I agree, I'm not really impressed right now and am concerned on his fit. However, I trust the staff to figure it out. Now, if it's late non-conference season/early B1G season and he is still performing this way, we can make a change. -

HoosierFan1994 replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Watched this one on delay due to football. Man what a rough game. I'm starting to get really worried with this team. 1) Woodson's rotations are becoming extremely questionable. I get he is trying things out. But it wasn't working tonight. Think it was 11-11 when the entire second unit came in. Army went on an 8-0 run and that gave them confidence. That can't happen anymore. 2) Listening to Assembly Call...they reported X said practice effort has not been great. That HAS to change. 3) I am probably saying what most of you are already saying..Mackenzie Mgbako has to get involved. Right now it's looking like either he isn't a fit or he isn't comfortable. Or both. I give him credit he isn't pouting at all. But they have to get something out of him for many reasons. This is an NIT team if he doesn't live up to expectations somewhat. Also, would be used against Woodson. 4) I feel bad for picking on him, but CJ Gunn isn't doing anything to show he deserves any minutes right now. It is starting to look more and more like this staff failed on getting another guard in the portal. 5) Galloway...he can't be too Jekyll and Hyde with scoring. Scores 16 the other night, 5 tonight. What is really upsetting is I expected a better effort tonight. Instead, they took a step back. I get they won, but it feels like a loss. I trust the staff to figure this out. Just lots of negatives right now. -

Agree. 2/5 of our starting lineup is here for those two exact reasons. It's not great for IU but honestly he is torn. If I was Maryland I would be worried. Guess my only thing with Maryland is they have Reese probably coming back next year. Here at IU it is anticipated we lose Ware so he would take over the 5 spot. Totally understand why he wants to see the season play out. Kansas makes zero sense IMO. Houston worries me but it sounds like they are a distant third. I'll give credit to Rabby. He's had a very good pulse on this recruitment. -

This is going to be like TJD when he announced. If I remember right it was like on a Friday afternoon and he used an edit. Kind of came out of nowhere. -
