It will be amazing what a true pg will do for this team next year. I love our class and freshmen as well as Green and Davis. I think we're gonna be a lot better than people think next year.

Oh I’m excited for next year. This year is going to be tough, but we will get better.

Miller, "Guys have to understand that taking care of the ball is the most important thing. When you look at your senior backcourt and they had 7 of your 18 (TOs), that's something that they have to take more pride in."

[yogisballin 2,295]

We're playing 3 freshmen and averaging 16 TOs a game.  That's no worse than last year really.   There's reason to believe we can finally begin to improve in that area (eventually).

Right! I think it’s time for RoJo and Newkirk to go to the bench. Hartman will make a difference as well

Music to my ears.  Fantastic to hear we have a coach that understands this and isn't going to focus on stupid stuff like deflections.

Ehh. Not so sure. Garland maybe. Rob will be nice at some point.

Our bigs are inadequate and we are adding Forrester who has nice upside but isn't really ready for the big leagues yet.

I don't think we have the pieces next year either even with Romeo. Unless DD transforms or Clifton gets ready. Hard to see.

Exactly. Im at the end of my rope if Archie doesn't work out. I thought Sampson was going to kill it. Wrong. Actually thought Davis would do well. Wrong. Hated the crean hire and thought he should of been fired two years ago. Right. Excited about Archie mostly because it meant crean was gone. I want to think he will kill it but who knows.

I don't know how long it will take but to actually have a coach hold players and himself accountable, use the bench for punishment, and using timeouts at ideal times is a huge step in a positive direction.

I think if the seniors get benched for an extended period of time and the underclass men gain experience, it will be a huge plus. But only if being benched sinks in!

Never been a fan of Johnson or newkirk. Crean groomed them to play fast and play faster.

Those 2 careless passes in back to back possessions and the Rojo miss dribble was the stretch that really ended the game.

Holding players accountable. That's what I like to see.

They pulled a Barney fife! Shot themselves in the foot before they got the gun out the holster!

We've been waiting patiently for 25 years since we were good. If archie doesn't pan out I don't think I can take another rebuild. It's Archie or bust for the program.

I understand that. However, I feel Archie will turn it around finally. I could be wrong though.

I wish Phinisee could enroll at the semester. That would be amazing. We all know Archie can teach defense. Next year he will have a guy to take care of the ball too. This 3-4 years till we're good again talk is wayyyy too premature.

Solid point. After Garland committed to Vandy the other day, these were my exact thoughts! Don’t forget we have race Thompson.

Like I said, time for them 2 to see some pine. I’m beyond done

I'd really like to see Archie pull a rabbit out of his hat and get a Max B type guy for next year.  I am confident in his coaching abilities and am quite optimistic about the future, but we need some size up front.  From my understanding his system relies on more than just guard play so I'm sure he'll be doing everything possible to reel in some big guys.

I think we will be good next year but I’m looking 3rd year of the Archie era to really see what Indiana has.

They’re gonna take lumps. What’s really disappointed me so far though is the turnovers. I don’t know why IU can’t take care of the ball. It’s literally elementary. I guess they’re still in preschool
