I’d think so. People seem to think that because we’re bringing in talent we’re bringing in the kind of talent Duke or Kentucky does that can make a roster turnover instantly competitive. The foundation for Archie’s program are currently freshmen, three of whom are injured and one who will leave after this year. It’s going to take a couple of years for all of the pieces to fill in and develop.

Moore getting solid minutes is cool though...

Crazy how bad Juwan and even Romeo has been around the rim today and this isn't necessarily out of hand. I feel decent given Morgan and flopping 4 point blank buckets. Give us 8 more points and this is not hateful. It's Romeo time!

Agree. Progressive improvement within season and year over year so far. Team is showing ability to learn, coach showing ability to coach - like they should

Amazed it’s not a 30 point lead really..... WE ARE STILL IN IT!
GO HOOSIERS!!!

Yea, it's becoming clear that this is a multi-season rebuild. The really frustrating part is that it's difficult to really evaluate the progress.  In general, the Crean recruits haven't shown much improvement. Is it the coaching/style of play, or are they just not good players?  Same goes with the Miller recruits - so many injuries have made it hard or impossible to know how good they are.

All that said, I believe we are markedly better than last year.  Just not near where we should (or could) be.

What sucks is that all were asking for is to compete lol. We’re not even asking to win.

Yeah its just frusturating and the patience required is crazy given all the rebuilds we have had to go through in the last 20 years

The injury bug hit this team hard. IU will be alright in the coming years. Some of you need to take a deep breath and breathe

Morgan waiting way too long to make that move in the paint.

[LIHoosier 26,206]

Alright, Juwan needs to be smacked for calling the shot good instead of being within 10 ft of the reobund

[Whoozhers 3,690]

Smith is just silly on his drives ugh

A Romeo 3! 2 games in a row!

Looking good to start the half, but another awful Morgan foul... ‍

Oh Juwan - that wasn't smart. 

On a related note, apparently the standards for calling a foul on UM are much different than those for IU. Sheesh!

[RaceToTheTop 25,842]

I have no idea what a charge is anymore.  Not sure what else Durham could have done a couple of possessions ago.

[rcbowla 7,125]

Absolutely killer foul

We have played them even since 13 minutes left of the first half. Almost like slow starts are hurting us
