Indiana and mediocrity has officially settled in for me. 20 some years later. I’m not really mad. Expected us to suck, and suck we did.

Hard to be enthusiastic about a team that’s absolutely boring to watch, can’t score, and can’t compete in road games.

Don't do it!  Don't accept mediocrity.  So many have, both in the fanbase and within the program.  Don't settle with the rest!

We're better than this.  We just need to remove the losers mentality from the program, the staff, and the players.  We need to clean house.

Pessimistic me:” this team was baaad tonight “

Optimistic me: “this team will still make the tournament“ 

Pessimistic me: “they will go one and done in the tourney”

If I’m Archie I go with 1 senior with Brunk next year. 1 JR with Phinisee The rest young players. I don’t want Smith or Durham back if they don’t want to put forth the effort. Smith will never develop because he doesn’t want to put forth the effort. Sad to see how these upperclassmen not step up. Why should we care if they don’t care?

I think they’re all true, except maybe the second one

I didn’t specify what tournament ;-)

What was the T for?

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

Burn the memory of this game into your brains and remember that this was rock f'ing bottom. Hopefully they figure it out (which I though they had already did)

I hope he tore into the ref who felt Justin Smith was able to make his pass change direction in midair. That was one of the worst calls I've seen all year.

Nothing to fight about. We just aren’t that good of a team. We might make the NCAA tourney this season, but that shouldn’t move the needle for Archie and he should still be on the hot seat. Because this program doesn’t look to be getting any better.

Dude.....wut? I mean I understand being pissed about this game. We sucked. No question. But if we make the tourney that will be: year 1 - nothing, year 2 - NIT quarterfinals, year 3 - NCAA tourney. What needle are you trying to move this season? I know you want the coach fired with every bone in your body but if you’re trying to make a point justifying that......well, try harder.

As was the team, it was pretty half-hearted for getting T'd up if it was called on Ryan to begin with. With a minute left, get a 2nd and light a damn fire in your team.

IU left a big piece of S*** on the court tonight.

In the refs opinion our offense was so visually disgusting that we were deemed to have  broken the Pennsylvania obscenity laws....hence the T

I’ll keep saying it bc I’ve said it all year. IU is not a tournament team. What games are we winning the rest of the way? PeeYew and Minny at home? I don’t feel real confident about those anyway

Feel like we win all but 1 or 2 at home. Lose out on the road. If that’s a tournament team, that says more about average teams getting in the tournament versus Indiana being proud of its team and program.

The way they gave up I'm not sure an actual fire would do that.

I think we need 10 conference wins to feel safe about getting in the tourney.

We have won 5 conference games with 5 home and 5 away games still to go. I think we “can” win a road game but do not feel particularly confident about any of them......@OSU, @UM, @Minny, @PU, @ILLINI. 
A win Sat would be huge and give us a little breathing room.

We beat FSU and MSU at home. We have 5 more home games against teams that aren’t as good as they are. We absolutely laid an egg tonight. When we wake up tomorrow, we’ll still be projected to be in every single tournament bracket. It’s not guaranteed, but sheesh, it’s far more likely we make the tourney than not at this point.

What does the team making the NCAA tourney this season prove? That the team got better or college basketball got worse? Have we made improvements anywhere?
Last year: 71.5 ppg, 36.3 rpg, 13.4 apg, 45.7% FG, 53.1% 2PT, 31.2% 3PT, 65.5% FT.

This year: 73.5 ppg, 39.3 rpg, 13.3 apg, 45.3% FG, 51.3% 2PT, 30.5% 3PT, 68.2%

We are actually worse at shooting this season than last. The only player above Races almost team leading 37.5% from 3 is Cooper Bybee. Who is 1-1 on the season. We haven’t really gotten better. Teams around have gotten worse. Same problems as last year and the first. Any solutions on their way next season? Nope. Season after that? Nope. Making the NCAA shouldn’t be the standard. We should be wanting that PLUS IMPROVEMENT. There hasn’t been any. This team has absolutely fizzled after the FSU game just like they did last season after Marquette with all the same problems.
