Yeah it just feels like at least him and Leal could be getting reps to get better because even if they're bad Kopp and Stewart are just as bad if not worse

Been a rough month lol but I feel like my question is fair it may be a bit negative but I think building toward the future while getting the same if not slightly even more production would be a good thing to do

Serious question: If we are going to get basically zero production from Kopp and Stewart then why not play Leal and Bates more and at least get them reps to improve for the future. They can't possibly produce less than Kopp and Stewart

I don't regret coming down here to Bloomington to support the team and try to bring home a win at all. I love Bloomington and I love IU. But this **** is getting really old. Yeah this roster has it's deficiencies but it is more than good enough to at least make the tournament. Woody has been completely lost for a few weeks now and whether or not any of us agree on them, those suspensions are going to end up costing us the season. We have a roster full of players that have never won consistently before and they **** down their leg at the end of games all the time. Don't even know what to think at this point and I usually have a really positive outlook but I just can't see us making the tournament at this point.

Decided to drive down to Bloomington tonight and work remotely tomorrow and go to the game. Gotta change up the vibes hopefully I can come home with a win

I optimistically wonder if the suspension helps change that from here on. Feel like it could be a tone setter that if you're gonna play for this team you better be locked in at all times

Yep biggest thing is going to be matching the physicality and also responding to the inevitable first punch in the mouth they're going to hand us

Yeah for sure we gotta be better with that stuff. I do think Galloway starts now at least I hope he does

I also really just don't see this MSU team as one that is going to overwhelm us with skill. They are a classic gritty Izzo team that just wins. If we can match their intensity and get a few bounces to go our way I don't think it's unrealistic that we win.

Also think some of the rebounding issues the other night had a lot to do with some of the insane bounces of Northwestern's bad misses as well as fatigue. I was at the game lol and they had some terrible misses where we had no shot at the rebound

What I saw with Tamar was just looking more in control and comfortable on the floor. earlier in the season he seemed to be going at warp speed and making bad decisions I think the (on court lol) decision making has improved. I really think the biggest adjustment that we can make this year to finish out strong is stop making the whole offense about getting Trayce the ball. The offense looks so much better when that isn't option A, B, and C. Not to say we shouldn't give him the ball he should still be option A but make it more fluid. I think if we can focus more on ball and player movement we will see huge improvements and I really think we can take 1 maybe even 2 of these next 3. MSU, UW, and OSU are not matchup nightmares for us I would be happy to win 1 of the 3 but I think we could sneak 1 of them on the road especially if we come out with our hair on fire this Saturday just saw the announcement that everyone is available to play.

Exactly. Let's just get into the tournament this year, continue the very good recruiting we've already been doing and go from there. This thing was not going to be stabilized completely this year and I would say that making the tournament in year 1 of a coach would be pretty good

Really just don't understand how people can pick out every single negative with the team and ignore anything positive. There has definitely been player development. Galloway is much much better than he was last year. Race's jumper has been inconsistent but he has still improved a lot. X before the dumb suspension looked like a brand new player. Tamar's shot hasn't been falling but he has looked much more comfortable on the floor. The defense has been much better. Nobody in their right mind thought this team was going to be a perfect championship contender so idk why people are acting like some of these issues weren't expected.

Someone said didn’t we win 4 out of 5 after that game and I listed the games. Glad to know every win we have shouldn’t count and each loss should count double!

Alright man relax I was just listing the games that happened after the penn state game

No way to even predict the next few right now until we know who is playing and how they respond to the whole situation

So 4 out of 5 and two ranked wins after that game

OSU- W Minnesota- W Iowa- L Nebraska- W Purdue- W

Hard for me to be mad at Trayce because he was out there all night playing his @$$ off but come on man you gotta be better

Last night was one of the most disappointing losses I've ever witnessed because it had nothing to do with basketball. I have zero doubts we win that game with ease of those 5 play but they didn't care enough about the team to keep it together. That's hurtful to their teammates, coaches, and the fans. Woody had no choice but to suspend them hopefully this pays off down the line but I really hope he doesn't make it a multi game thing because at that point the season is over.

Definitely gonna be a stressful one lol

I have no problem with Kopp if he goes out there and shoots the ball. What makes me so upset with him is that we brought him here to shoot and he never does lol

I agree I'll go with 13-7

Would be nice to some sort of slight change tonight. Nothing major but I like the Leal idea I do wish the starting lineup would change just not sure if I see it happening

We have come out intense and focused in each game after a loss this year hopefully that continues
