Since you didn't answer the first time, I'll ask again: Where did play? How high of a level? You're saying we can expect much better play in the rest of the games since XJ is back or was this just a one-off excitement that he's back thing? Please enlighten us with your vast knowledge and understanding.

It's not what you say so much as how you say it. The way you say things makes you come off as... let's just say not very likeable and rather abrasive.

This is what I thought IU might be trying to do by bringing in Matta. Guess not.

Yeah, his posts are often very condescending.

Where'd you play?

Holmes passed Alford on the career scoring list.

You're just proving his point. You guys have let us all down. smh

Good deal for Wisconsin fans. Still overpriced if you are an IU fan.

Except for the getting to the line part. They're not particularly good at that and then terrible at hitting them when they do.

Woodson is just now realizing the college game has changed in the last 40+ years?

I'm really looking forward to not watching this game.

More games means more wins. Of course, that would be moot because OSU would win.

He'll be saying that anyways.

Next year might be Tom Crean year 1 redux except without the sanctions and a worse coach, so for no reason except for stubbornness from both the administration and coach.

What I think he should do is fire Woodson. This would make Buckner publicly admit he was perfectly fine with IU being terrible just as long as Woodson was the coach by firing Dolson for firing Woodson. But we know he won't quit or do anything that will get him fired. He makes ~$500k/yr so can't really blame him for wanting to keep his job.

I'm not goona lie, I did not.

Translation: I have no idea how to fix it so I'm just going to blame everything and everyone but myself while pretending I blame myself.

How has this IU team, built like it's still the 90s done against teams whose coaches have based their offenses and defenses on those metrics? The answer is "pretty poorly." Those teams are blowing IU out, not the other way around. Coaches adopted them because they are effective, no other reason. If they were shown to not work, the coaches who tried them wouldn't last long. Also, that isn't a new concept. The Pitino UK teams played with that philosophy and they were really good. Won a NC.

No, what he said was technically true. You read it as an implication that IU reached out to them, which isn't surprising since it was poorly written in a way to imply that. Reporters asked them about the job and they said they weren't interested. That's it.

There is no way that IU reached out to Pitino. Since he's on the list, is there any reason to believe any of the rest of the names? Not to me, there isn't.

Screw 'em

On top of getting to the tournament every year and 3 seasons of at least getting to the S16, there are also 3 seasons with single digit losses. Those have been few and far between for IU the last 20 or 30 years. the last was in '16 under Crean.

I don't think anyone here has a direct connection to MM or his family. Going off of comments from the recruitment, it is believed that he and his family wanted (and believed him to be) a one and done. The thought is that if that is the case and IU was unable to get him to the NBA in a year, he'd either go pro anyways or transfer to somewhere that might do a better job. Kind of like Ware. So as far as I know, it's speculation but not baseless.

It's only 27 games into the season. Do you really expect a new team to have all the plays down already?
