If this was Archie’s last game, not hitting a field goal for the last 10 minutes was a fitting end. It had to be illuminating for our AD to hear the booing at the sparsely attended game. I can’t imagine the boos, and empty balcony, in the Hall next year if this mess continues.  It could get ugly (I meant uglier, it’s already ugly) very quickly.

I don’t think many people will show.

Do you have the first two Rutgers games DVRed?  If so rewatch for the answer.

Two things:

-You will probably find this shocking but we went through a scoring drought! Scored zero (0) buckets in the last 10 minutes. Thankfully the clock ran out and ended the drought.

-During the last timeout I zoomed in on Archie and am pretty sure he was looking at Zillow.

It’s been this painful to me for 3 years. It’s been the same basketball every single year.

If one thing is for certain, it’s that;

Archie Ain’t It!

We could hang this next to our “Kenpom improvement” banner. Gets us up to banner 7.

I call dibs on the “we’re on a 6 month and 10 minute scoring drought” joke sometime in September when Archie is still the coach and someone says something positive about the upcoming season. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,742]

I'm no longer upset at how this season has played out because it's just become so damn comical.  My wife is a Hallmark Movie Channel nut and our games have the same scripted endings as do her movies.

Just a reminder...

Well thank god they did or it would of been a 15 minute field goal drought.

That's what you get for thinking IU basketball could brighten your day!

Tidbits from Archie's post-game -

In response to @GreggDoyelStar  question, Miller says he didn't hear fans chanting at him.

Miller: "I'm not entering any offseason wondering if I'm going to be back. Those decisions are made by people higher than me."  [Osterman To contextualize this: This was delivered pretty directly. It wasn't resigned, nor was it shrugging off the question. Miller faced it up.]

Archie Miller on Indiana's 9-minute stretch w/out a made FG: 'We got fatigued and we weren't able to get any easy ones... they (Rutgers) took advantage of that... couldn't capitalize.'

Miller on his team's needs going forward: "More offensive firepower, more offensive weapons on the floor, developing players and make them better."

Archie Miller points to IU's frontcourt depth, or lack there of, as a reason why the Hoosiers have been so inconsistent. "Losing Joe takes (away) one older, bigger player, and puts younger players on the floor."

On his plans, Trayce Jackson-Davis says he will take a few weeks off and figure out his next step. No decision at this point.

IU does have a lot of shooters.  Not many makers.

Thanks. For some sad reason that made me belly laugh.
