We are reaching a point where we can’t recover, we blew it with this hire.

Archies recruited the worst shooting Indiana team I have ever seen other than the one from last year. Get ready for a long year getting beaten because we cannot shoot.

If Armaan didn't have the hoop in his driveway, it would be completely embarrassing instead of just kind of embarrassing.

Good game, Armaan. Glad to see you stepping up and your continued improvement

The right coach can make any program good. We just haven't found the right coach.

I thought this year we were going to be special?

Anybody else coming around to this is as good as it gets with Archie, or do I get ran off again for being critical of him?  Still Creans fault? ANybody figured out what he is trying to do on offense?

Just absolute BS our offense is this terrible. No excuses for this

In year 4 our guard rotation continues to be terrible.  Unacceptable 

[LamarCheeks 22,637]

I like Al Durham as a person (OK, I have to admit -- I don't even know him). But as a basketball player? Maybe not so much. I'm puzzled as to why he keeps getting so many minutes. He had 28 tonight -- slightly under his average -- but it still seems to be too many. 

 

[kreigh8 2,111]

Any offense where TJD is up at the top of the key handing the ball off is the wrong one

[Hovadipo 62,883]

I’m tired of watching Al Durham play starter minutes, but not sure where else to turn to fill them. 
 

Pleased with the defense as usual. Offense gave me hepatitis again. Goodnight all. 

[HoosierCoop 4,170]

Armaan thanks for your effort!
 

Our front court looked like an old ball sack. 
 

Galloway is special. 
 

Other guards showed effort but still suck.

This is the sad part.  At 7 of 18 this was one of our better three point shooting nights.  But the looks we got from three tonight.....we can't have guys missing a majority of those looks.  

We have to commit to giving Franklin the Dosunmu treatment....get the ball in his hands early in the possession and let him work.  The fact that the majority of the time the ball is in Al or Phinissee's hands spells disaster.

There is no one else tbh. At a minimum either he or Rob have to play a lot of minutes. Both are bad. Lander needs more play but it’s clear he’s nowhere close. Absolute recruiting failure by Archie.

It was Armaan(5-6) and everyone else(2-12). So we may have one shooter.

Considering the amount of youth on this team, I don’t know who would think that. 

[Trish 14,538]

I don’t see how we can blame Archie for this game. The amount of layups Hunter missed, TJD layups, and missed rebounds.. this game was ours. 
 

if TJD came to play maybe we win. His body language is so awful after making a mistake.

I guess just all the talk and hype throughout the recruiting year that we now have all the pieces.

TJD played against a guy who might make it in the NBA and got eaten alive. Imagine what real NBA players would do to him. 

 

Obviously it's up to him on whether or not he returns next year, but if he goes, he got bad advice. 

[Hoosier Guy 8,333]

Not surprised. IU almost always has a chance to win. They just hardly ever finish the job. Just over it

[Trish 14,538]

Hunter looks completely lost and in his head. Those missed layups he had today..

Rob had a few good minutes. That’s about it though. His defense was solid like always. 
 

Trey was great. He’s going to be great role player for us.

Trayce disappeared again..weird how that keeps happening... stop blaming your teammates and prove you’re an NBA player perhaps? 
 

Race struggled.

Al was Al. 
 

We could’ve used Joey for his size in terms of mass. Jordan came in and provided a couple possessioNs and 3s. 
 

Love the offense. We are getting lots of great looks, the ball screens are the most I’ve seen under Archie. Players have to finish the plays and our all American has to show up.
