Archie isn’t mediocre just because the program has bottomed up in the past two decades. It’s going to take a lot of work to build Indiana back up to where everyone expects.

That’s the entire point people are making when we point to hall of famers taking 3-4 years to get going. You are being overly critical after only 2 years. Hold back your venom for another season. Complain if we don’t go dancing next year. mookied39, Hillsdale87, IUsafety and 10 others 10 3 Quote

Izzo at MSU 3 years. K at Duke 4 years. Calipari at Memphis (pre 1 and done recruiting strategy) took 3 years to make the NCAA’s. But I get it, life is so much better being negative and down about your hobbies. I'd still rather have a coach that doesn't have a 'show cause' in his past who now has a former assistant headed to jail in Chuck Person. Let's not assume this is going to end well.

Just making the point he is good, bends the rules and still takes 4 years. Quote

If you lost one game in the tourney it would have been to a likely top 25 KenPom team. Two more wins almost anywhere on our schedule and Archie would've had the top season (other than Will Wade who had a hell of a year, despite being a cheating fraud) of second year coaches. This season rode the line of exceeding expectations and falling short. There are a million reasons anyone could point to to explain this, but end of the day, Archie and boys didn't get it done. They'll get another shot this year, and I like to believe the returning personnel had a major year of learning and mental growth. Our defensive improvement year-over-year is what has me so optimistic. Ranger78 1 Quote
