  1. I like the fact that he is averaging 4.2 assists per game, its’s the dumb crap that drives you nuts! He thinks he should be the #2 scorer on this team and in certain periods of the game he thinks it is time for him to takeover and get his points. If he would just play within himself, focus more on getting others involved, getting assists, and hitting an occasional bucket when open, I would be thrilled to death but the dude thinks he is there to showcase his talent in order to get to the NBA. He thinks he is better than what he is and that is most of our issues with him. Be a team first player, that is all we ask!
  2. Go Dakich!!! GO HOOSIERS!!!
  3. And Turdue having multiple STD’s
  4. I guarantee he’ll have it on today
  5. I think any of us that read that are in the same boat! Thanks Barrel Rick for shortening our life by 50 seconds!
  6. Here here, even those wrinkles! GO HOOSIERS!!!
  7. I thought maybe it was but wasn’t sure! Maybe he was saving trickery for this game. I agree, not much mystery but this is a game you would want to do that on.
  8. CMW better have a few wrinkles up his sleeve.
  9. Sounds like Ground Hog Day!
  10. We don’t have a lot of IQ at our point guard position either, I guess we’ll call that a tie!!!
  11. I would say without Turner playing like he was capable, they would not have won it. I would like to see Jim Thomas & Randy Whitman join the staff. What about Keith Smart joining the staff too? Heck, let’s just make the entire staff IU BB Alums!!! Just kidding, but all are or have been good coaches!
  12. One or the other must remain on the floor at all times
  13. No one because a lot was riding on the expectations of XJ and Phinesee coming around under a different coaching staff. I think CMW’s hands maybe be tied but I would try something different. I know Leal is a shooting guard but what about him? Like I said, try something different. By the way, I think XJ has an infatuation with dust, he was seen dusting the floor on many occasions, lol!
  14. I think that is an admirable idea, why hasn’t the NCAA control that?
  15. After the Nebraska game, neither one should be playing the point but the way Phinesee was trying to dribble the air out of the ball; therefore, we have no choice but to play X at the point.
  16. I know and I was going to mention that but forgot to. There is no way our current point guards will be at that level or even 1/2. My point is improvement, which is all we should see and expect along with making the tournament. 1st year coach and staff, that’s probably better than most new coaches.
  17. I actually think that is what we should expect and I think it will happen.
  18. I just want to point out that teams get better as a season goes on or should get better. This is a new coaching staff trying to put their system in place. We will have ups and downs but I do believe this team will get better. They may not win Thursday, they may not win the B10, they may not win the B10 tournament, and all those are likely scenarios; however, they will improve and continue to compete in their remaining games. Take the 81 championship team, and don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to compare this teams personnel and outcome to their season to this current team. This team had an overall record of 26-9, not bad. But during their non conference season, they went 7-5 and got beat by Texas Rio Grand Valley their last nonconference game just before the B10 season and they totally dropped out of the top 20 rankings. The players decided to have a team meeting and they finally started pulling in the same direction and went 14-4 to win the B10 and National Title. My point is, give this coaching staff and team time to gel before all the armchair coaches start criticizing. I hope the point guard position is the one that improves the fastest, they are killing us!
  19. I’ve been watching IU basketball for 46 years and there hasn’t been any. I would say Landon Turner was in his early years but not near X, not even close
  20. I would say nice win but that would not be true. We tried to give that game to Nebraska. I have no confidence that our point guard play will improve. X spent more time dusting the floor and Phinesee was trying his best to dribble the air out of the ball. Those two should never see the floor the rest of the season, if I were the coach. TJD was awesome until he got hurt. I sure hope he can play in our next game or we won’t have a chance. I can’t for the life of me figure out why he can’t hit free throws. JG earned more minutes! He played great. Galloway played decent. Race was good
  21. Here is a series question: If we loose tonight at Nebraska, will that be considered a bad lose?
  22. Patience is a virtue
