21 points in the first half.

0-9 from three.

Archie knows offense like Crean knows defense.

At least with Crean, we could outscore the other team 65-70% of the time.

Serious question most of us wanted archie to give some other guys a chance I know I did but at one point he had 3 freshman on court at same time. I am for geronimo getting some minutes but surrounding him with other inexperienced guys is a terrible idea imo. Give guys minutes but not all at same time. Why would archie do this?

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. 

Our all-american post man that we’d be feeding is getting worked by a guy that has registered 1 (one) block on the entire season. We’re bad from everywhere.

I doubt whomever Insures IU will allow fans behind the baskets when fans are allowed back.

Well Race got some great looks in the paint. They are really taking away TJD left hand and we all know he can’t finish right.

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.

I am not advocating for crean i was calling for his head as bad as anybody I also didn't like our bigs gunning threes but I wish tjd had a 3 ball now lol

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.

With that news, IU simply has to make the field this year. I don’t feel like they can do that if they don’t win these games in which the other team is similarly ranked. I just don’t feel like archie understands how important this game is to his future.

He’s quite thin. No Brunk leaves Geronimo and Hunter as your subs for the bigs. Hunter played like 2 minutes maybe after nearly breaking the backboard on his early 3. Don’t disagree with your overall point he’s just handcuffed. No Franklin and I’m sorry for the Lander fans but he’s nowhere close to be ready to contribute no matter the minutes he sees

Clank.

The turnover chart has turned to bricks.

[TheWatShot 13,932]

They've hit 5 three pointers. We've hit none. You simply can't keep getting outscored by 15-18 points from beyond the arc every single game. 

[Trish 11,548]

Trayce is so one dimensional.

 

we may have been overrated ourselves based on him alone. 

[LIHoosier 26,147]

[Josh 12,621]

If we can't make 3 pointers....let's have our centers shoot them!  Brilliant

[Blackmon_for_3 1,533]

Race wanted to get in on the brick laying. 

[Whoozhers 3,683]

TJD is digressing under Archie.
Sad.

This is a root canal without novocaine.  Good night all.

Defense is slipping a bit while the offense continues to be lackluster. They’re getting plenty of clean looks at the basket close, and unfortunately they seem to be better finishers there

[Ryno6284 2,645]

This brand of IU basketball is very difficult to watch!  Season 3 of Cobra Kai anyone?
