When our supposed calling card is defense and we consistently give up open looks...

[JSHoosier 20,086]

This team looks like it's ready to quit on the year.  Miller has got to figure out a way to get through.

Did you guys see Archie on the sideline there.... the look was Like “what have I gotten myself into I swear

To recap:
-another slow start
-never saw a sign of a cohesive offensive plan
-horrible FT shooting (again)
-no energy
-no fight
-more head-scratching lineups/substitutions

It’s sad. What is happening to iubb?

Exactly what I meant earlier. What’s that they say about doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results?

Soon to be 4-8 in conference if we are lucky

I dont see anyway we beat micigan at home and winning a game on the road seems unlikely.

Damezi should've gotten minutes before today -- just to help get his feet wet. Throwing him out there today with very little PT was asking for trouble. It was a failure waiting to happen.

How come all these other schools are getting legit play out of kids ranked in the 200s and Damezi looks confused as all hell 

I love Archie, I was ready to hire him in 2015.

But at this point I have to question whether he is instilling confidence in these kids

Likely never will ever be elite. We may need to except that reality.

His D takes 3 years to learn. So why are we recruiting 1 and dones or 2 and dones. Seems stupid.

I was so glad to get rid of crean i was happy with it at first but im really starting to question it. I am not impressed so far.

Why? He doesn’t play defense, doesn’t execute the plays and can’t do anything on offense but hit wide open 3 pointers. By that logic give me a scholarship

I watched this late. Turned off at the under 12. Couldn’t take it anymore. Then the score pops up on my phone so then I was really tickled I didn’t choose to waste another 30 minutes of my life watching that ****. Wow just wow

So what's Billy Donovan doing these days?

No one is playing with confidence. No one. No one imposed their will on the game today.

Is that the players fault or a product of coach’s failures?

I told myself I wasn’t gonna watch, so I didn’t. Glad I didn’t. Think I’ll sit the rest of this season out. Our program is dead.

Anyone?

How many times was he begging and pleading his assistants to help him? We've seen quite a bit of that lately too.

[cappymo14 2,276]

I have IU 4-20 from 3. That sound right? I also have all 20 of them wide open shots. That right?

I didn’t necessarily expect to win this game, but I did expect to see a dogfight. I am with others when they question if Archie is reaching this group.

It doesn’t take talent to hustle, it doesn’t take talent to play solid D, and it doesn’t take talent to throw solid passes. None of these things are happening. I think you have to look at who is commanding the ship.

Im not saying it is all on Archie, it’s a 2 way street, but he has to change something up.

These last 4 games have really defeated me as an Archie supporter and fan.
