It’ll be even more important now to steal one of the upcoming road games

[coonhounds]

This is one we will look back on. Can't blame it on green al had a terrible shot and archie should not have a true freshman in hunter with the ball with 1 minute to play in a game imo

We started slowing the offense down the last several possessions and that changes our offense from one that looks to score inside to one that shoots a 3 or a guard drives.

Devonte had a good enough game to warrant being in at the end but combine our slow down offense with him in there at the end you are more likely to have bad decisions.

What we did (with Green in there) to get the lead we went away from down the stretch.

As angry as I am. I’m more disappointed. We started off the game with no defense for 12 minutes. Then we closed the game out with no offense. 
 

It’s been 12 years of these Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde teams. I’m just exhausted. If we’re gonna be a defensive team let’s be a defensive team and bring it every game.

Just find 4 more wins. I don’t care how or where, but that’s all we need to get in the tourney which is the goal this year. If we can get in the tourney and we play our best basketball we can compete with anyone. Just can’t let this loss linger and that’s what I’m really afraid of.

Blaming this loss on Devonte Green is ignorant and tired. Good lord, give it a rest already and come up with *ONE* original thought, ever. 

RP missed the front end of a huge one-and-one with about three minutes left, I believe.

Al took a three pointer very early in the shot clock when we were up a couple of possessions with about two minutes left.

Jerome Hunter's turnover was inexplicable.

If Smith and Brunk make layups in the first half, we're not having this conversation.

If TJD hadn't committed a head scratching illegal screen to start the game or a foul early in the second half, he doesn't have to sit for any length of time.

But you are right.....in the end it's just convenient and lazy to lay it Green.  Also lazy and convenient to blame it all on Archie Miller when things go bad but give no credit when they go well.

Teams win and lose as a team.

Just joining, had to drive and listen to the game, but man, I told my wife it sounded like we were getting homered at home! Didn’t see any of it, but that’s a lot more times they were at the line.

100%. I’ve been hard on Green and Archie, but I definitely didn’t think IU lost because of either of them today.

Heartbroken. That was in the bag.

Any illusions I had about the new commissioner fixing officiating were dashed quite nicely also today. If anything expect it to get worse now.

I find it hard to not blame archie in a game like this. His team sucks at free throws. They didn't play smart down the stretch. What's not to blame the coach for. He is probably taking full responsibility ad he should

Just a very frustrating loss. Stats say we shoulda won but mix in a little stupid at the wrong time and you come away with a loss.

Refs in the big ten still stink.

My big gripe is letting the opposing team score 35 points in the first 12 minutes.  We then held them up 35 points the next 27 minutes. Then gave up 7 points in the final minute. 
 

if you are gonna be a defensive minded team be a defensive minded team.

It’s the same as last year..... Archie likes to hold the ball too long with no offense. I get holding the ball, this is year 2 that’s it’s really hurt us. Run the offense and only settle on close looks until it gets closer to shot clock.

Sucks to see us screw this game away and then have two games on the road.

Fair. This game is crushing. This could be the start of a very tough stretch

Maybe the refs will do the same thing 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Normally I’d be mad about a game or frustrated. Just too much putting things into perspective. Team played hard and fought back and hit shots.

Really tough loss.

A game that showed just how good this IU team is becoming.

Keep it up boys, and this season is gonna be a very, very good one.
