I’m pretty optimistic, but worried we come out flat here. Nice to see many of you think otherwise. A win would be massive. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Honestly, you’re right haha. Sorry for the hate, games making me nervous! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The second one was bs, and shown by the replay. Should’ve been a foul. He’s playing hard Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ugh this is such a bad take. Their runs came right before the tv timeouts. It was actually good coaching, in my opinion Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

As a few posters have been saying on this board, simply making just a few 3’s changes EVERYTHING Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

He does. Moeller just plays a slower, fundamental, defensive oriented game. That being said, I agree with you. I don’t think he’s good enough for IU Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The officiating in this Dayton St. Louis game is terrible. Looks like the Big Ten

St Louis shooting more than double the free throws of Dayton.

Got to get 1 of the next 2. Will be tough

Holtmann said he felt that Washington was mentally prepared for the tough road situation and his head wasn’t in it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I for one thought each player contributed to the win. I thought his substitutions were great, and when Armaan didn’t hustle, he sat him the rest of the game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Apples to oranges. Coach O fits LSU and the SEC perfectly. Not sure he’d be able to recruit and coach as well in the PAC-12 and out west Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

And Norte Dame against Louisville right now. I’ll probably root for OSU to get it together too Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Oh my gosh. We just played our second worst game of the season and I could honestly still see us winning a couple games. That’s a dream scenario Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

To be blunt, I think who we hire as the new AD is severely more important than firing/retaining Archie. We need someone who allows us to play in the grey area. There’s no reason we should be having this much difficulty recruiting out of state players other than we don’t offer the same benefits as the vast majority of other teams. I consider dj carton and maybe Dawson Garcia to be exceptions, but I truly believe if we bent the rules a little bit we could’ve had Kira Lewis / Dortz / Quinones / Brooks / Tre Mann etc. This new AD can also advocate for improved reffing in conference play. I totally understand why players would rather prefer to play in the Big 12 or PAC 12. At the end of the day, we are a storied program that can provide a bigger “spotlight” for players to build their brand than 97% of college programs. We should not be lacking talent. But when I watch games, I see players afraid to shoot 3’s. I see players who can’t make strong passes. I see a player who can’t go up strong around the rim despite being a senior. Now, some of this is on coaching. But coaching is very hard to do when your talent is lacking to programs like Illinois and Purdue. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I was at this game. Worth nothing duncomb played against Gabe Cupps, who’s only a freshman, but very highly touted since he’s a guard on Bronny James’ AAU team. Great environment. Duncomb is talented and sees the floor well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yep. And I’m not saying fans aren’t allowed to discuss it. It’s certainly warranted. But at the end of the day, we should still root for the coach and team. We’ve got a long way to go. And if we manage to get to the tournament, two or three wins could make all of this discussion pointless Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Great points. Here are my ideas: I’d love to put students behind both baskets to make an even crazier atmosphere. Probably difficult to do considering loss of money, but still would be cool Warm up with mostly rap music. Please. Bands are awesome, and tradition is cool, but most young people (on the team and in the crowd) get more amped to hip hop than bands for sporting events Renovate the balconies. It’s not good seating, and probably more worth it to watch it on tv. Make them lounges/boxes, put windows on the back wall, concessions up there, something. It’s sucks when the balconies are empty, but I get it. Timeouts are generally boring. Other programs do a much better job at keeping fans engaged during breaks in action. Ex: Showing Cody Zeller and Oladipo get the crowd pumped, but the Bucetto’s biking advertisement is pointless. Simple trivia questions would be great. Bringing students on to do half court shots would be fun. It’s not that difficult. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

All I know is having this discussion after every game is tiresome. Yes, we’ve massively underachieved. Yes, player development and quality coaching are often lacking. But Archie is gonna be here for the rest of this year and most likely all of 2021. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Of course there are exceptions, but I’m not a fan of neutral court matchups. College basketball is so great because of the passionate fans. So I’d love to see the tournament committee begin to place much more emphasis on big road victories, and hopefully it’d incentivize teams to schedule more road gameS Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Should’ve never been this close, but good plays drawn up by Archie in the past minutes. Completely deserves the criticism, but also credit where credit it due. Oh, yeah, Armaan baby Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Isaiah Todd could very well never play a game as a wolverine though Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
