Execution. That’s what it comes down to

[Old Friend]

Our seniors shot 6-31, and 4 of the makes were McSwain.   I don't know what anyone needs to know other than that.

[IUrocker]

IU put up 66 shots and made 19 of them, but we only lost by 3. Thank you Archie. 

[Magnanimous]

I realize part of it had to do with how many shots we missed, but out-rebounding an Izzo team 53-29? This coach gets it.

There is no question the future is bright.  This is a very accurate statement, frustrating season be damned

[Bailey7878]

I don’t even wanna think about Romeo not being at IU. That’s why I don’t

Exactly.

It appears izzo is going to skate. The furor is not bringing him down. As I've said winning trumps all. If he had a bad team he would be gone period.

He might have one next year.

Shoot, I think even if we don't get Romeo next year, our shooting is so horrific this year that the likes of Phinisee, Anderson, and Hunter alone will drastically improve the shooting for next season. Anderson had a game earlier in the year where he was 8-9 from deep....yes, please. 

Is it true that Anderson's team is undefeated?

But as long as Romeo comes, this season won’t hurt that much

The future is bright.  I looked at the box score again to make sure I wasn't still drunk.  Absolutely amazing that Archie had us in the game until the end given our shooting.

Yep, indeed it is! They currently sit at 17-0. Here's a cool article about him and how excited he is to be a Hoosier, wanting to stay in state when he goes to college, etc. He pretty much sees IU as his dream school.

Yeah IU had no business being in that game. I knew they would play with pride last night. I even posted so on the first page of this thread. But not surprised that Michigan State won

[Whoozhers]

I hope Morgan comes back

Me too. But imo, he’s playing better than Bryant, Blackmon and any of those guys that left early recently. If I were him I’d go for the $$$.
Hate to see him go. Such a SOLID good young man on and off the court. Wishing him the BEST in what ever he decides.

I hope a night of sleep has some of yall in a better mood. I feel "good" about the loss. We fought like absolute hell being outmatched at almost every position, 7 or 8 guys deep. Assembly Hall is special folks.

And can we revisit the Mcbob crossup? Woooooo

Morgan is not going to get drafted with the freshmen available this year. He might get talked into trying to sign as a free agent by OG and TB, but I doubt it. I fully expect Juwan to be wearing IU colors next year.

He’s the most reactionary.

He's not even close. There is a solid core of posters that make 8th grade girls on twitter look emotionally stable.

[OliviaPope40]

If I had money for every time someone said help is on the way or Izzo saying survivors I'd have enough to buyout ESPN if I could along with liquidating my IRA and combining that amount. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Words to ponder from a former player.

Manage your expectations. This is not a Championship caliber team. It’s a transitional team. It does no good to bestvthe **** out of these kids or coaches. Tonight was a loss but it was a good step in right direction. They’re still making their bed
