This team sucked the year before Archie came, was pretty bad last year with Crean’s players, and has maybe two quality upperclassmen and banged up freshmen this year. I wonder why it wasn’t an instant turnaround Archie...

Asking to play hard 1 1/2 years into this is expecting “instant” turnaround?

There will be no quick fix, that's for sure.  As much as we're all sick of it, we need more patience.

Lol. Nah, you just hate IU football and basketball right now. Totally understandable

Not really.  A point saying that Anthony Bennett was drafted way too high is a pretty pointless one.  No kidding there are misses in drafts.  

Romeo is getting drafted in the lottery and he'l have a nice career.  Do you want to argue he won't?

Depends on what you consider a nice career. I think he'll be fine and make a lot of money playing basketball, but I don't see him as a future all-star or anything. Guards with neither elite athleticism nor elite shooting ability have a harder time in the league.

I’m not giving up on him, but flawed roster or not, I lose a little faith in Archie as each game goes by.

Seems odd we appear to be a worse team though

This game is terrible. Can't believe any of you are still watching it.

This season is in a tailspin. I didn’t see this collapse coming from the team we saw in November and December.

The Yogi Noah’s Vonleh team was brutal as well. Common denominator is lack of shooting. 

You are correct.

Expecting consistent effort a year and a half in isn't being impatient.

OK, I've had enough of Gus' IU/Purdue 'Name the Player a' game.

As much as I hate to admit it, I am as well. I want Archie to succeed so badly. But this is a troubling sign imo

So where do you put him?

10 at best probably around 15 unless he fixes his shot. Most projecting him as a lottery pick are simply assuming he will fix his shot. His current game won’t work in the NBA without an outside shot

I turned if off three minutes into the 2nd half but followed the thread. The season has officially gone off the teacks. My interest level went from 100% preseason to about 20% now. Sick.

Poor coaching common denominator

The warning signs were there when we kept squeaking by bad/mediocre teams.

 

I want Archie to succeed as much as anyone, but this team clearly isn't well-coached.
