Dumb foul. Time for Bates to find the bench, I think.

LOVE seeing Kaleb Banks get some run early on and making a play! Really reassuring to see this kind of depth

Melo Trimble?

We are getting lucky they're missing. Reneau not having his best showing in his first few mins

IU 71 UM 66

Hopefully not in it yet. Keep the guys hungry. Also more embarrassing for Purdue when we beat them this week

Don't know much about his timetable, but would love to see him return for the Purdue game in a limited role. Still feels pretty early to me though based on the limited info we do have. 6-8 weeks post surgery would be just a few games left in the B10 schedule

Honestly don't care for the Purdue uniforms. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad... just don't wow me. Maybe I can't get past their bland colors/boring brand and logo/stupid faces

Would love to see us get Edey into early foul trouble when we play them this week. Have to say, though, doesn't seem like he's been racking up too many fouls this year. Hope we don't see our front court pick up a few quick ones.

A lot to clean up after that performance. Really hoping Woodson is back with us sooner than later. And that TJD's back continues to hold up. Would love to get a timetable for XJ's return - think JHS would be even better if he could alternate ballhandling responsibilities. Impressed by Galloway, he does the little things really well. Race is frustrating to me, but undeniably has a huge role on this team. The fact we pulled this win out - despite the coaching and poor shooting - is encouraging. Thats the silver lining to me (for having lost sleep to watch that mess)

TJD is just a freakin beast, man.

Indiana always plays down to the level of competition. Tonight has been downright ugly. Find a way to win and move on kind of game. Coaching certainly didn't help tonight - Malik and Geronimo combined for 3 minutes in the second half and MR was off to a hot start in the first half. Looking forward to having Woodson back.

Great win today. The boys are looking good the past 3 games. Does MSU have the ugliest jerseys in college basketball? Certainly in the B10

7 to 2 foul disparity .... hmm...

As is often the case, I think JHS will be a much better pro than college player Edit: And he's a damn good college player, to be clear

Refs are tech happy tonight, eh?

Wow, how do our senior "leaders" get a tech when they're not even playing... smh

Pikiell would be a great hire IMO if he could be convinced...

Genuinely wondering - would it be far fetched for Woodson to suddenly step away from the team based on personal reasons - perhaps medical retirement "doctor's orders"? Allows him AND IU to save face. Amicably agree this isn't going to work out - let's stop wasting each other's time. Woodson gets paid. We get to move on. Nobody gripes about the optics. Can you sense the desperation?

Amazing to watch a Pitt team that was leading Duke in the first half play tough and stick around late into the second half. Haven't stopped playing hard yet down 9 with 3:30 to go. Would be great to have a team that just plays with some pride at this point.

Can anyone recall a more pathetic showing in the past 10-20 years? Arguably a top 3 or 5 embarrassing game for the program since the turn of the century...

Where do I send my application?

Wish we could convince PSU's coach to come here...

I'm not usually one for this phrase - but - there is truly no excuse for this. Embarrassing. Abysmal. Zero pride on the court. Woodson has lost this locker room clearly. We've done this cycle enough - the decision makers at IU need to get on board with a new way of operating. No more allowing the flagship program at the University (and biggest moneymaker/brand asset) to wallow in mediocrity. Name an assistant interim coach. Maybe explore agreeing with Woodson to call it a medical retirement. But you can't put this product out on the court again next year and expect to be taken seriously by any recruits/donors/fans. Why the total lack of urgency in a time where coaches get fired mid-season/after 1 year routinely? Why don't they want more than this?

I agree he won't be fired this offseason... What's his buyout situation anyway? Does it become more manageable after next year?
