I like Devries, and he seems like the type of guy who is gonna be more than willing to change and adapt however necessary to be successful here. This years shortcomings gave him a blueprint of what he needs to get from a roster standpoint moving forward that competes in the Big Ten. Obviously we wanted to make the tournament, and probably should have, but I think you could flip the coin over and say it was impressive for Devries to get this team to win 18 games. It was a roster full of mid majors that were not big enough, athletic enough, talented enough, etc to go up against elite type of players that most teams have in this conference. Is it on Devries that this roster was built the way it was? Absolutely. But I think he did a pretty good job with the limitations this roster had. Winning 18 games with this roster shows me he can win big if given the right roster full of actual studs who belong in the Big Ten. The system works. A lot of times we jump out and take leads on teams, but just get wore out too quick to keep up with better athletes and crap the bed because we just can’t keep up. We need the horses. Let Carr build him a good roster to have at his disposal before we start thinking he can’t get the job done.

Miami plays dirty and I hate that. Hopefully they don’t try anything stupid on purpose and try to get away with it. Their last game had handful of late hits, roughing the passer, unnecessary shoves out of bounds. Leave no doubt. Beat these A-holes by 40.

I just think Devries tried building the type of roster he had at WV and insisted it was going to work. He can now clearly see that it’s not working like he thought it would, seeing first hand the type of size and athleticism in front of him, and will adjust accordingly to fit the Big10 when building his next roster. Our inside game is obviously a yikes, especially with Bailey being so dang soft, and I’m sure Devries is gonna know to avoid that going forward.

It’s one thing to lose to kentucky like this if they were a top 10 team…then is like ok, whatever….but Kentucky was NOT good and we played even worse. Thats the most frustrating thing about the loss. We go from scoring 113 points last game, to 60 tonight. Crazy.

I feel like we should have 40 points by now.

I love expecting shots to go in instead of wishing players wouldn’t take them.

I really love having Tucker

Don’t drink every time Crean says deflections!

Dangit they scored 20

Signed a new extension to stay a Hoosier. Good through 2033…$11.6 million a year. Cig: “I couldn’t be more proud to be a Hoosier…I plan on retiring as a Hoosier..”

Here’s what he said last year after he got his extension…being asked pretty much exactly what’s happening now.. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19osddGMsb/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I love that Pat McAfee was the only one on the Gameday panel who picked us to win.

“What more do you want from your offense in the second half?” Cig “more points.” haha, a gem.

Cool to see Dolson right there in the video enjoying the result.

Anxiously awaiting clips of the new guys on campus with Coach Devries. Excited to get this new era started and see how everyone looks together. Edit: IU basketball Facebook page posted highlight clip of first practice today.
