However, we could have let our recruits out of their LOI with no apr repercussions.  Apparently Archie thought Durham was better than Wright.

Or Clifton Moore

If we play like we have the last 5 games I don’t know how anybody could expect that   Need at least 8 wins probably. 

Were 3-2 in our last 5 games. So we do that the rest of the season I think we're in.

So you don't think we will make the tourney?

Right now I have a hard time seeing a tournament team.  We're not exactly playing world beaters and we look bad.

Last year should've been a tourney appearance, but they went 2 months with zero effort.

Not many teams as bad as UConn, ND and Nebraska left on the schedule. 
 

We’ve played one road game and got demolished. We have 9 more to go. 
 

Plus we have about 6 teams better than Arkansas still coming to the hall

Our APR was so low from Crean, that we couldn't force any players to leave or we would be trouble with the NCAA. So Glass told Archie this after he was hired. So by the time we got a scholarship available he had already committed to Colorado. 

....didn't he boot Grant Gelon too?  I'm sorry, I've heard your story before, but the facts don't add up.

Yes he did. Could have booted him sooner

After grades were posted for the semester. You don't have to listen to my story, I'm fine either way or I can post some other place.

Durham has been great imo. Always hustling.

Lol...you do you.  I just find this particular story to be too full of holes to be true.

I've seen Cooper play over 100 times from 6th grade to college. He can't play at this level. He would get eaten alive on defense. He needs to just be happy to have a spot on the bench. 

You would know a lot better than me in regards to Cooper's abilities. I'm not sure what other options Archie had at guard last night. All of them struggled down the stretch.

No solutions last night. This required better prep. Either better player development or better recruitment.

After Durham's stupid elbow I don't think there was another option.  Phinisee has been disappointing, and Franklin is a freshman.

We saw status quo for Green, so someone needs to step up.

It's not HIS story........

It has been reported multiple places. But yes we know that goes against your agenda.

Facts are my agenda.  Facts disagree with this story.  What's your agenda?

Hmmmmm really seems like your Agenda is to beat your chest every time IU loses that Archie ain't the dude for IU and you told us so. 

do facts disagree with that story..?

[Alford Bailey 13,233]

Archie may in fact have his hands tied with recruiting. Wouldnt doubt that one bit. Im becoming more concerned with the coaching side. His game management of opponents going on a run, the fact we go away from our stud for long periods, FT shooting again and our bigs hedging 35 ft from the basket then sprinting to get back in position (or lack thereof) are some of the concerns.

Until Archie wins it will be hard to determine one way or another

Exactly. You can win without studs but you have to do a good job coaching. Archie ain’t. He looks like a first year coach.

Dearest iuC and Josh,

Back to discussing basketball please.

When the board gets into tongue-sticking-out contest no good will follow.

 Thanks

That would easily put us in the tourney.

I think we are in if we go 9-9, and end up 10-10 in the conference, the rest of the way.
