YES Romeo!!! Green probably mad though...

Take Green out for our offensive possession after the 3 free throws he gave them!!

Sad thing is, Green is probably laughing on the inside.....leave it to him to screw that up.

How did that manage to go in!??!

Now if we could just make shots to get ahead of them not making free throws...

The play was a 35 ft shot?

Of course!!!! Lol

I can’t decide if I wanna be completely upset, angry, frustrated or just shrug my shoulders and know this just isn’t a very good team, realize it is what it is at this point, and know that we are most likely going to see a heck of a change in our roster next year. I certainly appreciate the effort they are giving, but I think I’ve come to the point, even before this game, that the losses aren’t gonna ruin my day like that have in the past. With all that has gone on here lately with the team, it’s just become expected unfortunately. I’m not giving up on their efforts moving forward and will definitely keep watching like it’s my religion, but here’s to hoping next year’s team breathes new life and serves a purpose greater than themselves, which I can for sure see happening.

...Smith will think if he would have been in the game the second half we would have won...

All I can do at this point is laugh, honestly...I mean holy sh**

Holy crap people go off from 3 against us..

Why the step back 3’s to try to win it? I saw it coming

Obviously people think Crean had it way worse when he took the IU job when Archie did based off talent level...Archie had more talent than Crean had, yada yada, which is true. Well at least Crean had players that wanted to be there and played hard for their coach. Even though Crean had less talent, what Archie seems to be going through with his hands being tied with who he could and couldn’t have on the team and dealing with their attitudes and lack of effort can be just as bad. To think if Archie was able to have things how he wanted it when he got here by getting rid of a handful of guys he didn’t see fit right off the bat, things would obviously be way different than they are now and we most likely wouldn’t be dealing with any of the lack of effort levels and attitudes we are now. Heck I feel just as bad for Archie than I did for Crean when he first took over the program.....and then to realize Crean and Glass may have f’ed up the APR so bad that Archie had to deal with having his hands tied and keep players around that probably didn’t want to be there and since they had to stay, affecting their attitudes towards the new coach, makes me feel MORE sorry for Archie. This roster management really is probably a nightmare scenario for Archie knowing he’s got a bunch of kids he calls quiet and lack leadership, etc. These first couple years have been a do what you can with what you’ve got type of thing, and this year really endes up being bad because the negative attitudes really came out into the open. Props to Archie for keeping calm and dealing with it like a professional until the end of the season.

If the cancers from this team are gone next year and they were ones who treated Romeo like crap...any chance he stays next year to play with TJD, Armaan, and Keion (if he comes) and have a more enjoyable, successful experience?

I wasn’t saying he was a risky pickup, and understand how and why we got him...just that he ended up not being the type of player we thought he could be for us.

Even though Keion may know there is trouble in the locker room, I’m certain the coaching staff has told him they will be gone and all will be way different next year if he comes to IU. He has been reassured they are well aware of the problem we have going on and he wouldn’t have to deal with it at all next year.

Ah gotcha, thanks. I thought I saw somewhere it was when he turned it over by a bad pass out of bounds or something.

Makes you wonder if Archie is hesitant and uncomfortable with getting rid of them knowing they aren’t his players, when you would hope to see it as happening the other way where he would have no problem with it because he didn’t invest in recruiting them so he’d flat out be willing to tell them hey, it’s unacceptable for you to act like this, you’re obviously unwilling to show you care, so be gone. Like I said, he must just be trying to bite his tongue until the end of the season. I get it in a way, but at the same time I don’t because it’s allowing them to keep on with the ridiculous antics.

I was holding back to not shout out names until now as well, but to see Green and Smith act like this is down right ridiculous. At this point i don’t care if they give us a better chance to win a couple games than someone on the bench. They don’t deserve to play and be on this team acting like that and them continuing to get to play and be here is just allowing them to continue to spread the cancer to everyone by being disrespectful and worthless. If Archie knows they will be gone and if they know they will be gone, then just sit them. They are obviously not gonna care at all about what they do out on the court if they plan on not being here anyways. Maybe the whole plan is for them to play on and keep things quiet until the end of the season in hopes it doesn’t screw anything up, but they don’t have the right attitudes to make that a successful thing. If at this point they are just going through the motions to get the season over with and doing it by being immature smart a**es and disrespectful then to heck with them, get them the heck out.

Coach got them to play great D and with intensity, we just need a freakin roster of players who can shoot the basketball.

Dang Juwan

Kline and those straight on top of the key daggers. The screens they set up for him get him a look every time

Finally Smith...just don’t get too cocky with it now and screw something up. Just because you made that, don’t go start playing hero ball because it’s not gonna work

You’re not MJ, Smith!! take a couple dribbles first and get a little closer before u go up for that!

Smith not there to defend that 3....
