This will be Archie first losing season. I doubt it will be his last

Wanna bet on that?

I've been as critical as anyone but Archie had a plan against these guys and it was the right one. What do you do to game plan for fade away 3's? Nothing. That was a rhetorical question. My Christ....sorry for the almighty here but seriously Jesus H. Christ!!!! Actually like this team tonight too

Well perhaps if FTs had been addressed ever this wouldn’t have happened

If this team could catch a break! Just a single damn break for God's sake.

Sometimes you have to make your own breaks, and we don't know how to do that.

 It's been clear for a while that this team just isn't very good but Romeo just has not stepped up like I and a lot of others expected he would. Maybe we shouldn't put these kinds of expectations on a freshmen. It's probably not fair but it's still disappointing. Whole season is. 

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

And 12-22 at the line will not win many games either. We cant friggin shoot.

[Old Friend 8,389]

There was enough to see progress.  This one came down to missed FT's and shots around the rim.  And the same guys making losing plays time after time after time.   I cannot believe an Indiana team misses 9 FT's in regulation in 19 attempts so game goes into overtime. How you get 11 from Fitzner, make six 3's, hold Bohannon scoreless for a half and get beat is amazing to me.

Which part?  Hell I’ll take both parts seeing how poorly prepared these teams are

He doesn't catch the ball in position to step up.  What can anyone do from 23 feet?  Seriously?   He needs to catch the ball 15 feet or less from the rim.

Also...20 seconds left in the game. We burn the entire block to shoot an airball floater with about 7 seconds to go...What in the world?

[Brass Cannon 24,365]

We were 12-2 and will miss the tourney and this fan base is finding the silver lining. This is why we have been mediocre for my entire life

I honestly am at the point where Romeo having the ball for the last shot is stupid. He doesn’t ever try to attack he wants to try to always hit a step back three. I would rather have someone attack the hoop or set up a play down at the block.

That this will be his only losing season for some time.

I’d rather Rob take it.

Yep. We expected Romeo to be transcendent, and instead he's just been very good. That's on us as fans for setting expectations too high. He's having a very good freshman year, just not on Zion or Barrett's level, which is what we were hoping for

If you're that bohanonn kid just throw it up there towards the rim.  

[coonhounds 8,855]

Wish we knew why it took all season to motivate these guys. Why did it take forever to sit Smith? Why can't we shoot free throws? Why do teams hit prayer shots? Why ?

Indiana needs a playmaker.   Bohannon is unreal.  We do not have a playmaker.

Deal. Not sure how we are going to fix so many issues in one year but hey the world needs optimists.

Touche'.   See my post above.   We ain't got Bohannon.
