IUBB @ Maryland - 1/4/20 @ Noon

[Blackmon_for_3 1,533]

I can live with guys not being able to hit open shots. What I will never be able to live with is the lack of effort. That is 100% on Archie. If a kid doesn’t want to play hard he doesn’t play, but Archie continues to play them.

I will say this...I watched a vastly less-talented Wisconsin team hang tough and play tough for 40 minutes, on the road no less. And they won. What is this team’s excuse? No leadership, starting at the top.

My son's 5th grade basketball team scored 47 points in a game. They do 6 minute quarters. I will be surprised if IU breaks 47.

At this point, I would just let the walk-ons play. 

Everybody else has quit.

Yep this again feels like rock bottom. We've been there too many times in recent years.

It’s like a train wreck... just can’t look away.

NIT here we come

Saying this for the very first time, took me 2.5 years but I have been thinking it for a long time. Archie has zero idea how to coach, build a team at this level.

We are stuck in pergatory until a change is made.

Zero idea

The 2018 class is turning into the (Bowel) Movement 2.0. Going into this game the four remaining players (including Thompson) have scored a total of 207 points this season. I don't care if there have been injuries, not a single one is scoring more than 8 ppg. 

I was very high on Archie when he was hired and really liked what I saw from him in year one with regards to ball movement, emphasizing defense, and off-ball screens for shooters. The offensive sets have not only not improved, but have clearly regressed, and he has failed to bring in any semblance of a quality shooter.

He'll get through this year in all likelihood since Glass is retiring in May and a new AD isn't (likely) going to fire a coach in late spring/early summer. However, given how weak Archie's foundational class is turning into, there isn't going to be much to work with next year. Guy better bring in some quality transfers at guard/the wing who can contribute immediately or he will definitely be shown the door after next season. Not only is this abysmal basketball, but the program has zero flavor as well right now.

That’s a bit optimistic

[LIHoosier 26,205]

Unless something dramatically changes(???), this team isn't winning on the road this year.

Optimism right here fellas

I mean, what more is there to say? It doesn’t get worse than this. The team is done mentally. More blowouts are coming. There is zero momentum with the program. Giving Archie another year won’t fix anything. 

[HoosierTrav 7,887]

I’ve seen enough Indiana Basketball throughout the times to know where this program is headed. The fan base is going to turn on him, although I wish they’d turn their attention to the real culprits, McRobbie and the Athletic Dept. Recruiting is going to absolutely tank. Who in their right mind would want to come play in this offense? I’m pretty much burned out being a fan of this program. I think I’ll take a hiatus and check in during football season. I have reasonable expectations for football but I’m either unable or unwilling to adjust my expectations for basketball. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,674]

Tom Crean was better than Archie Miller.

Change my mind.

I’m sorry but this team is no bueno to put it lightly. Try to stay positive but something is very off. Talent isn’t the problem. They are mentally out of it and there is zero chemistry. Arch should be better than this.

[RatpigHoosier 1,022]

Train wreck. Can’t stop watching the carnage
