Steve Alford basketball on the way! 
 

What team are you guys switching to? 

The Indiana Hoosiers that will win more.

If I had to play in this junk offense I would smoke too

By the sounds of it, yes.

Yeah......I'll take someone who wins more than Archie AND doesn't protect rapists.

You greedy bastahrd.

;)

[8bucks]

I know you weren’t necessarily suggesting this, but it’s not a binary choice between the two.

Oh I agree but. Just responding to Treesh. Not my choice for sure

Say what you will but Hunter also cost us this game. He would have been nice to come off the bench or even score. 
 

Dumb a$$

[rcbowla]

I'm not sure who you are talking to here.

Really? There's plenty. They have been dropping off gradually since the PU game but still there. Sad thing is it took most up to that point.

Until this program can get better guards in, particularly at the point guard position, I expect these kinds of defeats. Frustrating to say the least but I for one get a better appreciation for those last two Yogi seasons as each game goes by this season. That dude put those teams on his back, he had some help but this team is just sad

Should’ve kept Tom Crean if we wanted to settle for mediocrity!

We’re hiring Riley Crean?

I thought he played baseball

I think it took him less than 20 minutes to foul out.  He's not ready defensively.  Killed us three straight possessions to the tune of 8 points.

And still helped the team play great. It was the Durham/Phinisee mix that killed us. 

[rcbowla]

I hope that weed was worth it, Mr. Hunter! 

Yeah. He was the difference. I like him sometimes but no he doesn't change the outcome

Mediocrity would be better than we have now.

I really, really, really, really wish people would stop mentioning Steve Alford -- unless we're lauding what he did as a player. 

Wanna fire Archie, fire him. But stop mentioning Alford as a potential replacement. 

If he didn't play at IU, he wouldn't be within 1,000 miles of our radar for what he's accomplished as a coach. 

He has a very unremarkable record as a coach -- and he intimidated a sexual assault victim. That alone should disqualify him in any decent person's mind. 

He’s not being mentioned because that’s who we want. He’s being mentioned because that’s who Dolson will almost certainly hire. This is the inevitable result of Archie failing.

This will makes us 2-4 at home in conference play. 

People say IU fans are ridiculous, but this season has shown that the fans are all this program has left. Take the fans out of the arena and these are the results we get.

Yeah we are so far from mediocre Archie can’t even see it

[Bigred3588]

I don’t like going to bed on a bad note so I’ll at least say that things looked promising when the 4 freshman were on the floor. I have a feeling Archie will **** that up but I’m trying to find some optimism in this **** show.

Boring program then. Oh well, the tides of college basketball are turning. 

[LamarCheeks]

I was gonna suggest that if anybody wants to watch some classic IU hoops, ESPNU is showing us against Iowa from 1983. 

But we lost that one. 

Bad night all the way around.
