Tournament is going to be in our own building and we won’t even be invited. This program is cursed.

We wouldn’t even be able to play here. If we make it we are playing At Purdue. Purdue will play here.

Well unless Archie is shooting these wide open 3’s and missing these layups, then I’d say it’s more players than anything. 

He recruited these masons. I bet every college team in Indiana and most high schools have better shooters wide open like we continually miss.

We get the ball to the middle against the zone like we should and then everyone just stands still. No cutting, no movement, no NOTHIN'.  These are elementary level things that we can't even do. Im baffled that im technically watching division 1 ball.

That ended last year when the general returned. Our administration still sucks though and they’re happy not winning.

I understand this, man. But Just imagine how painful it is going to be when you’re watching an ncaa tournament game in assembly and the commentators bring up the IU program and how far it has fallen.

It will be a kick in the balls.

God damn. Why the hell, with 12 seconds left and the ball in play, are we looking at the coach to figure out what play we are running? What a waste.

Thank you - I’ve never understood with our offensive deficiencies we continue to weave or swing it around the perimeter for half the clock before we get into a set. Which is typically initiated with a high ball screen

I’m not a coach and it’s easy for me to criticize from the couch but  this offense doesn’t make sense. Maryland is not big. Why are we not using a cross screen to the weak side while swinging the ball for a post feed. Let Maryland prove they can stop that and if they do adjust. This nonsense about swinging the ball around and taking a 3 without even a post player touching the ball is ridiculous. Stop chucking 3’s and run some post action.

Hope this team proves me wrong and comes back to win it in the second half like they did against butler.

But I have seen this plenty, IU will make a run and take a lead only to squander it in the last few minutes.

Time to change our fortunes!!

Sadly every center for crean was better from 3 than anybody besides Franklin on this team.

Revisionist history. Those teams also played no defense, were a turnover machine and were going nowhere at the end of Coach Crean's tenure. I would like something better now, but that is not in our recent past.
