Creighton up 4 with about 13 seconds left, fouls a 3 point shooter. SHU makes them all. Tips the in bound pass. Steal it for the go ahead basket but doesn't count coz of an on the floor foul (crowd didn't love that call). Splits the FTs. 3OT.

Insane game.

Addae-Wusu looks like a strong safety out there lol

Shaheen gets every drop out of these guys. Purely from a talent on paper perspective these guys have really overachieved. Impressive year 2 so far.

Well said.

You don't quite get this tone from Woody. I'm sure he cares, but man... https://www.tiktok.com/@fieldof68/video/7323727814711184682

Here I am at a diner in New Jersey thinking about how the current state of Indiana University men's basketball could completely destroy all recruiting momentum. Mgbako transfers and McNeeley decommits (both feasible regardless of weather there is a coaching change IMO) and all it does is scream to the basketball world that the program is a dumpster fire. The first priority IMO of Woody/whoever our head men's basketball coach this offseason (have to let myself believe it's a possibility there's a change after this season, not next) should be to retain Reneau and Mgbako. Reneau I think you've got a fighting shot. Mgbako just screams transfer candidate to me but I hope I'm wrong. Honestly it would suck to blow it all up... but with the portal, especially for a school with our resources, teams and staffs can look totally different year to year. I just want to see the next coach recruit to fit a system and build a culture. Actually run coherent sets and play modern basketball. You can win with lots of kinds of guys, but we never have the right mix/enough of them/we've had them, but the staff has not enabled them. Last night was a no show. After Purdue too? Embarrassing display after embarrassing display.

You've got to think a few more performances like tonight and Buckner/May, etc. sort of have to start that conversation with Mike. Or hope anyway.

I mean... do we really need to see 2 more games to know what this team is? Was tonight not already very very very ugly? I almost have no words anymore after tonights performance. There will hopefully be some more bright spots along the way but this season is fully an unmitigated disaster at this point and little chance of that trajectory turning around.

Yesterday's was CJ's birthday lol. Not a good way to start your 20s!

Let's not drag this out. Finish the season. Let everyone save face. Say thank you. Then move on. Woody will always be a Hoosier legend. He just should not be the Hoosier coach after this season. That's really all there is to say at this point.

These post game comments should be fun.

When you're giving credit for cutting the lead to 13, you're in bad shape.

No shot. And honestly, the odds of Mgbako staying because of Woodson vs. leaving because of him in one way or another, I'd call 50/50. His hope/expectation of being 1 and done clearly will not be met. I bet he wishes he was developing at Duke right now and winning. It's not worth another year of this just to keep some of those guys. Not at all. Let's just rally around a new vision and start building in that direction. The sooner the better. (The day after the MSU game maybe)

Every game looks like the first time these guys have ever played together

Screw it, do what the TCU women's team is doing and hold on open try out on campus because too many players on the roster are "injured" (the TCU women's team has legitimate injuries but at this rate just get these guys off the court).

It's so sad how there's literally no defending this season. Officially a train wreck that seems likely to get worse.

If Woody does not start his post game comments by calling this a total embarrassment and taking ownership for it, apologizing for the product and the behavior of his players and that CJ will be suspended for a length TBD... at a minimum... then it should be completely clear to people, including decision makers in Bloomington, that he's ready for retirement now and not after next year. Finish the season out and end things on good terms, quickly. Act decisively in the coaching carousel. God this team is so disappointing.

Yeah this is more embarrassing than things have been in a while. Whew.

The kid was being a gnat. Gunn took the bait. Camera was dead on him. Our guys are a joke. This game is where the wheels officially came off the tracks. Everyone's gotta take a look in the mirror. And that's putting it extremely mildly.

... This is where the argument that XJ should have been dealt with more harshly really gets weight.

X is going to get picked apart by the stripes all year. Screw it... this team could use the week off. Or at least we can all use a week without watching this

It's all so sadly predictable.

I will admit I was not following things as closely during the Glass to Dolson transition so a bit shaky on some of my timelines. But I'm willing to cut Dolson a little slack based on the Cignetti hire and some of the other renovations/investments being put into football. I don't think the guy's too bad at fundraising. The search that resulted in Woody's hire was Dolson's first I believe, so it's possible he thought he had Stevens and made a rookie mistake. I'll give one pass... the next basketball hire has to be right. But... we've been saying that.
