Game Thread: Indiana State Friday 7pm BTNplus

[ccgeneral 38,084]

@MattGlenesk: Archie Miller is the first #iubb coach to lose a season-opening debut since Everett Dean in 1924. 

Who did Everett lose to?

Indiana State.

Lol in all seriousness though, this is embarrassing. No way should this be happening. Archie should have had the troops fired up to pkay this game. Its his first as head coach in front of his fans. Maybe the ISU players are just secretly that much more talented then all the 4 stars Crean had recruited on this team ;)

If you seriously think Crean is a better coach, you haven’t been paying attention. He had way more talent last year and it was a train wreck. There is a whole new system this year. Give it some time.

I can tell from Archie's demeanor, these guys are going to not only be crying, but puking up three days worth of meals when this crap is over. Very in-house hardass. It'll take some time, but these wrinkles will need to be smoothed out. These upperclassmen aren't getting it, and they're going to be sitting behind several freshmen next year. No excuses for this, but he's coaching a Crean team right now, and not sure if things would have been much different if Crean was retained.

+/- for this game will be interesting.

No it won't? Starters will be minus 15 ish... everyone else minus 10 ish

This is what worried me about hiring a young coach. Hopefully his learning curve isn't too long

Archie needs to have practice tonight after the game. The didn't try in this game so they shouldn't be tired

The lack of a lineup change at half is the thing that is concerning me about Archie not the performance

What in the world man... "concerning"... how? It's one friggin game. Have you ever... nevermind, just nevermind. Idk why I do this to myself.

Archie’s primary task will be to figure out who wants to consistently play hard going forward.

Pick fights on a message board. Yeah we all wonder also

[Soulsnipes 55]

Does anyone oppose to Al starting?

[HoosierDribbler 466]

One game.

 

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

To piggyback on WayneFleek's comment about dogs.. do we have any players who are embarrassed by this?! Is anyone yelling or trying to get their teammates pumped up?

Durham might contribute more to this team than just his play on the floor. This might give CAM an idea who is willing to fight.

I'm embarrassed for the team.

ISU is putting in their MSB's. Good golly.

Lol you are "concerned" over someone's first game coaching at a school, how silly is that?... I've picked no fights. If I rub you the wrong way, I hate that for ya man.

Coaching tendencies don't change when they change schools.
