go iu bb

I've already gone over this so I will just say that the way to make the mistake of bringing back Woodson an even bigger mistake would be to not have some sort of official statement from the AD. There will be something official.

Lost a bunch of pages when NGW's account got deleted. That doesn't help.

I'm with @WayneFleekHoosier on this one. The low FT percentage is concerning and makes me question whether he can continue to shoot 3s at a high percentage, especially when playing against better competition. High probability that his 3-point shooting was an anomaly this year, much like Galloway's shooting last year. Galloway is also a poor FT shooter.

With all the stolen NCAA bids, IU probably wouldn't have made the NIT. Good thing they got out in front of it by saying they wouldn't go to avoid that embarrassment for IU and Mike Woodson. This much talent with a favorable schedule in a down year for the conference and it's questionable whether they'd even be invited to the NIT. Keeping Woodson is a smart choice because he can obviously coach.

Disappointed but probably not surprised. I know I wouldn't be.

Sub-30% 3-point shooter. Checks out. Sign him up!

Hopefully since Cuban is no longer an NBA owner he'll start to get more involved in the basketball teams. He has a ton of money, too, and actually knows basketball. I can't imagine he's enjoying Woodson as the coach.

I hope they're left out. Both teams, but especially MSU. I want the B1G to be embarrassed by the number of teams they get in. Apparently, that's all they really care about since they haven't made any changes after the flameouts the past few years.

Purdue lost. Houston lost (blown out). UNC looks like they're going to lose. Have that many 1 seeds not won their conference tournaments before? Great run by NC State.

Going forward, the B1GT will be 15 teams so it will be possible to miss it. This year IU had a favorable schedule in a weak conference and still had to have a winning streak to get to 10 wins. They were also high in the luck factor by winning close games. So a lot went in their favor just to get those 10 wins. They lose Johnson, Walker, and Ware plus other loses are possible through transfer or going pro (Mgbako). It is very possible the team next year is less talented. So, yes, missing the conference tournament is a possibility.

Didn't the B1G get only 1 team to the 2nd weekend last year? Or was that the year before? The B1G has been terrible in the tournament recently.

I thought that firing Holtmann during the season showed OSU cared more about basketball than IU. Hiring Diebler shows me I was wrong, that's such an IU move. I'm happy they hired him.

A blank check for Booker? lol On second thought, wasting a ton of money on a player like that would be a good way to ensure Woodson gets canned after (or during) next season.

Cig is the only significant hire Dolson's made and he hasn't coached a game yet so how good of a hire it is is still in question. Sports IU is good at, their coaches, and hire date: Baseball: Jeff Mercer, 2018 (not Dolson) Swimming: Ray Looze, 2002 (not Dolson) Soccer: Todd Yeagley, 2010 (not Dolson) Women's Basketball: Teri Moren, 2014 (not Dolson) So for those other sports, it is more that he hasn't done anything to hinder them rather than making them good. He certainly isn't responsible for the coaching hires.

Well, QuinnB(BOT)(Perfection75) (if that even is your real name), I think you meant to make this post from your primary account. Not a very QB thing to say. :)

Moot if they don't fire him.

lol, Mick Woolson

My blame is 100% on Woodson, the coaching staff, and the AD.

To me, that is a blowout. So they averaged getting blown out in 14 loses. That shows that the season was actually way worse than the W/L record (which we all know).

That's an average over 14 loses. Considering that they had only 19 wins and many of those were close, I am pretty sure IU got outscored over the course of the season. Just checked. They did get outscored 2386 (182nd) to 2452 (288th). The stats are just as brutal as watching the team was.

That makes it sound like a choice. More likely, "unable to fill" more than 1 scholarship next year.

So a final way to f**k over IU by waiting too long to retire? Seems about right.

What would be the point of that? Those bids are good for young teams in rebuild mode to get them extra tournament experience. Most of the young players on this team will be gone after this year and 1/2 the roster will be new. Plus, from a morale or image standpoint, avoiding another blowout loss would be better than playing another game or two. On top of that, it's likely that anyone thinking of going pro would sit out. So no Ware or MM, probably no Reneau (I think he'll test the waters).

That will only delay the inevitable, assuming they win against those cupcakes and in convincing fashion (unlike this year).

Maybe they're talking about the "right, left" chant. Of course, that is typical when a player fouls out so nothing surprising there for an ejection. Of all the things to bring up, that is an odd one. Unless it was IU fans who were doing the chanting but I don't think there's any way to know that at a neutral court.
