The program is cursed

Why would we hire Beard? Bring back Kelvin!

Wow…Conner Mccaffery being interviewed and just said about Indiana…”We went zone and they had no idea what to do. I don’t know if they had ever seen it before.” YIKES

1 or 2 banners. Certainly.

It’s too depressing to even think. I’ve played it in my head over and over these last 15 years.

You want championships? Bring back Kelvin. Would’ve already had 1 or 2 if he was here.

Up 28-7 and still lose in regulation. Program is cursed.

Ehhhh…I guess? Monroe was a starter.

With all due respect to JG…he should never be compared to Vic. Hanner? Yes. Vic? Hell no.

Jessan Gray-Ashley, Jeremiah April, Lucas Steijn, Guy-Marc Michel, Roger Rothbart

Ahhh ok. Gotcha.

I would agree that there have been disappointments among the players you listed…but I assure you Banks isn’t the answer right now. There’s a reason why he’s the last man on the bench outside of Leal. Race still did grab 14 rebounds yesterday. If Banks plays and takes more of Race’s minutes…I’m not sure we win the game yesterday.

I think we should be playing 4 perimeter players with TJD down low. However, with X out, will make it more difficult to play like this, simply because we don’t have enough guards. But the 2 big lineup doesn’t seem to be working.

Good adjustment and ran some offense. Finished on a very nice 30-11 run.

Ideally we play 1 big in this game…issue is we don’t have anymore guards

I’m beginning to think you’re absolutely right. This is just bad. He’s lost.

I wasnt joking when I said earlier we don’t run an offense. We literally DONT. Our offense is try and score in transition.

It’s every year

We don’t run an offense. It’s try and hope to score in transition.

Play inside out

I was watching SC vs WKU last night. I didn’t see much of Lander so it prompted me to look up his stats. I can confidently say that IU was not the problem. Hindsight is always 20/20 but what is also clear is he shouldn’t have jumped early to college. He only plays 12.9 min/game…avg 4.2 points/ game and 0.6 assists/ game in a mid-major conference (C-USA). It made me wonder…as Lander was regarded as the #1 PG in his class…has there ever been a bigger discrepancy in high school rankings and actual play in college? Not sure if he was a top 500 player at his position. I can’t recall. I wish Lander well but wondered where we would be if Lander was actually the the player everyone anticipated him to be? I think we’d be sitting very nicely. Big miss on prior coaching staff and the high school scouts/experts that rank players.

I take it you’re a newer fan? The ‘05-06 squad was solid. They would’ve been very legit if DJ White didn’t fracture his foot twice and miss practically the season. We had high expectations that year. Killingsworth was a senior transfer so we never saw him and DJ team up. Another unfortunate injury. Killingsworth/White >> Trayce/Race to give you an idea of how good those players were. I encourage you to watch the Duke/IU 2005 highlights. Gives you an idea of how good Killlingsworth was as well as how excited our fans were for that team. Many claim that game was the loudest Assembly Hall has ever been. also Earl Calloway our PG that year resembles X. Incredibly fast. here’s the link:

DJ White in the 05-06 season with a fractured foot. Had very high hopes that season much like this years. Him and Killingsworth down low. We were preseason ranked and ranked for a good portion. Got in the tournament as a 7 seed and lost to the 2 seeded Zags in the 2nd round. That was Davis’ last year. I imagine a 7 seed now and we’re happy…my have times changed LOL.

Let’s hope X makes speedy and full recovery. This is a significant loss….could very well impact our wins and losses. Don’t know what the timeline is but let’s hope X can get back before the tournament with a game or two under his belt. I would hate to have to play a fully healthy marginally seeded IU team in the tournament that’s playing their best ball.

Sloppy play and lackadaisical…Both of which have plagued this program now for years. But we won, so we won’t argue with winning…
