Lol the entire conference would celebrate an IU win for this very reason

This is absolutely fantastic

It’s bad enough to post in a PU beat down thread about to happen, but then I get an AARP ad???!!!! Lol

PU - 83 IU - 69 consolation - 1 game closer to the end of the Woodson era

One day, I will log on and the thread title will be: FIRED Coach Woodson Thread (please)

This is one of only two concerns I have with Moren (the other is not enough focus/results in recruiting athletes and size). In this one area she’s kinda like Woodson, veteran focused. Star frosh can be keys to a team, if you want top frosh talent to come to IU (and you should) you have to show you’ll play and develop them. Moren is an outstanding coach, but she needs to improve here

vs

Lets go!

Is it too early to start drinking?

But of course he is! Predictable things: death, taxes, and Woodson running 2 bigs….

IU - 75 MD - 71 because, F it, time to man up and play for the W at home

Does he often leave his feet before knowing where he's going? :)

Maybe their worst game so far. Just bad game all around. Hoping they make the tourney but it’s going to require a return to better play. Maybe just a rebuilding year

That’s too bad, that team with Coverdale et al was a lot of fun to watch

Largely agree but feel IU women's team needs to upgrade its size and athleticism generally. They've been at a size and athleticism disadvantage in a few games now.

Well, except for a certain coach on the Men's bball team... :)

What happens if you give the best golf cart driver the HC gig? Oh wait, never mind

That's insulting to fools! :)

Woodson is a fraud and a coward. Probably the worst coach in the B1G. I’m not getting any younger, hard to say can’t wait until next year when you’re pushing into your late 50’s… but let’s see, weighing one year closer to Death vs more of Woodson? Bring on next year and the Grim Reaper

I see the disheveled guy on the corner holding up the cardboard sign that says “The End Is Near”

Well, it, uh, looks like my game prediction was, uh, wrong.

Right call, work him back in

I hear you but just discounting Crean is way, way off imo. Just ignoring that he took a complete dumpster fire (which was courtesy of the administration), zero scholarship players and baseball walkons, to multiple SW16’s, B1G championships and some of our all time favorite IU players, is just wrong imo. Have said it before but besides the disastrous handling of Sampsongate, the real failures within that 25-year period are CAM and Woodson. We were on track to getting “back” under Crean, with the right hire after him, but the Admin blew it. In fairness it/they did make the right choice to move on quickly from CAM - that itself wasn’t wrong / but utterly blew it with the stupid cadre of current trustees in going with Woodson. He never should have been on the short list.

Bako imo is due for a bounce back game, and importantly his potential shooting opens the floor. He’s been waaayyy off, but coming into his slump was our best or second best scorer / outside shooter, and teams respect his outside shooting— those of you advocating against him are not considering how the potential shooting on the floor affects the D, even when he’s in a slump, his scouted shooting opens lanes and generally the floor. Gallo does not do that.

Man this is a hard one to pick. Woodson sucks against NW, always loses. NW is 9-1 at home, generally better at home (and will get some absolutely BS whistles), they have fairly balanced scoring, and they’re clearly better coached. But they’ve really struggled over their past 5 games, they rely mostly on an interior game that should favor us, Ballo has been flat out balling, we just toughed out the W against OSU, and Malik apparently will be back. Screw it, I’m going against the grain, cause, why not IU - 74 NW - 71
