******* RIDICULOUS

Any good reason we don’t have a 10 point lead at halftime?

Hunter has been beyond bad.

I’m just at the point to where I’m ready for this season to be over, which is sad.

Not looking good.  Why can't we play good for more than a few minutes at a time

[Hillsdale87]

Our energy is bad so far

Agreed. Everybody looks slow tonight

Dreadful defense in that half.

Miller, you are ill prepared and have been for most of the season.
5 second call? At that critical juncture? COME ON MAN!

We're just incapable of blowing a team out, and it's because these guys are so mentally weak. It all started with TJD missing that layup. Miss a layup, give up a banked in 3. Miss 2 out of 3 at the line, give up another 3. Five second call, give up another 3. 

 

Not doing little things well adds up, and with this team, it often leads to giving up 12-2 runs.

Your NCAA chances are pretty much on the line and that's what you give? Better play hard second half

I don’t know if I can pin that on Miller. Five guys with half-hearted cuts, no screens, pitiful effort.

This team plays, they don't compete.

Don't have to wait for 2nd half collapse. They already accomplished that

I’m so tired of effort being optional and there being no consequences

[Hoosier Guy]

Yeah I’m of the mindset that IU doesn’t deserve to be in the tournament if they don’t win this game. If they lose tonight, they’ll definitely lose Saturday as well

[TheWatShot]

Shot 48% in the first half and we're still behind. 

 

Gave up 3 threes to the worst long-range shooting team in the conference in the last 3 minutes. 

 

Good stuff. Maybe the NIT is where we belong.

It’s concerning when you add that context. Especially a night after watching Purdue, a team also playing for their tournament lives, go on the ROAD and beat Iowa handily. Any competitive team has the ability to turn it up a notch when there’s a sense of urgency. Not seeing it tonight from IU in half one.

Tim Miles is one odd ****er.

Too many games the visitors shoot 3's like it's THEIR home court and we rarely do.
