This could easily be a 5 game skid for IU, immediately following the game against Michigan State is a road game against Rutgers and Rutgers is no pushover any more. Hope I'm wrong but that's what I see. This team is more than likely NIT bound, and frankly, I am okay with that. Losing 3 NBA players and inheriting a team that played no defense and turning them into one of the better defensive teams in Big Ten has been impressive if you ask me. Archie is a good coach, and the program is in good hands, last night hurt but there are better days ahead. Fortunately, I think this team is more mature and will be more inclined to succeed in the NIT than they were last year. It may not be ideal to cheer for a team in the NIT but you take any win you can in a coaches first year on the job.

IU-81 UI-73

IU-76 Maryland-69

IU-77 Wisc-68

IU- 83 YSU- 59

77-59 IU

Personally, I don't think Juwan Morgan has much of a chance at all to go to the NBA after this year, needs to develop a shot, the NBA today doesn't hold a lot of value in a 6 foot 6 inch post player with little to no range.

84-59 IU

Completely forgot Penny Hardaway coached Wiseman.

What was said by Coach SS? I must've missed it if it was posted in here ever.

I agree, but at that point Al will be a junior, Devonte a senior, there will be back up guards, I just think that it would be smart to allow him to grow by playing time, and not watching a kid younger than him get more playing time.

I personally don't get why they'd go after a big time PG. If we call Phinisee the point guard for the next 4 years, we have to let him do that, and by his sophomore season I'd expect him to start, especially over a freshman guard. Just my opinion though. They'll definitely need to target good shooters that can run the 2, so yeah I'd want Archie to go hard after some 2 or 3's.

IU-68 ND- 75

This recruitment is like the coaching search, it was fun till people got our hopes up just to find out what they were preaching wasn't true. I'm just ready for it to be over, whether I like the result or not.

To be honest there wasn't a whole lot great things about Michigan, you're right. I think next year we could see a NCAA tournament team, but that all depends on who transfers, and other things we can't predict like injuries. The recruits are all underrated, and we'll have a smart point guard again. Deron and Juwan will be better and more players will be bought in. This is all assuming we don't get Romeo, which I'm not optimistic about.

I want us to go in and win every game as much as the next guy, but I have an issue with people talking about this game like it was the double digit loss to Indiana State. This team is getting better each game, have some kind of positive outlook is all I am saying. I never say it's okay to lose, I hate it too. I get pissed during games when Newkirk gives the game away. I'm not saying it was okay how they lost this game. Don't get it twisted, I just wanted people to realize that with every loss there's something to take out of it. Positively, IU held them to under their PPG average, competed on the boards with the longest team they'll play all year, and our bigs are really good. Negatively, we don't have anyone to close games right now, and we can't shoot at all.

Unfortunately, we're a part of a clueless fanbase

It's amazing how everyone hops off the ledge after any game or any performance. We lost to a talented, long, Louisville team by a small margin on the road. Yes, we could have won the game without a doubt and wasted opportunities killed us, but let's take a breath and understand that we went head to head and played a tough team close. Defensively this team was solid today, and it seems to get better every game. I still think this team will be pretty solid come February or March. This fan base is something else sometimes, I swear to god.

This team would be better if Crean was coaching it lol, Archie is the better coach no doubt but this team would have a better record with Crean

I don't get why UL doesn't run that Mahmoud lob play every time

Bailed them out big time

Deng Adel is like Larry Bird right now

That looked off coming from his hand

The inevitable Louisville run has come, and they need to not let it continue. The lane will open up for IU as the game goes on after U6 gets more and more worn out. We've defended the lane well without DD so that's always a positive.

I think in the Adidas area of things, no, nothing will come out but the FBI has yet to release any findings in the EYBL/Nike investigation, in which schools like Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina would be possibly involved. It will be a while before we see anything though I believe.
