HoosierAloha Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 Makes sense. You have a basketball crazy state vs. the state with the largest population in the country. Put those together and you get ratings.Ummmm…Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

HoosierAloha Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 Most populated, third most populated, let's not be picky. :)I don’t know the exact numbers. If first and third were in the same zip code it’s be different. Cali is twice as populated as New York? Is New York even the third most populated?

They have front page headlines that conjure up way worse things than what the students chanted last night. Doesn't matter. Indiana should be better than that.

As I said it’s not negativity. Archie was relatively successful in the non conference each year. The question we face is can you be successful in the Big Ten If you can’t hit 3s or FTs. I am very skeptical that a team can be. uh... Archi sheite the bed his first year IIRC. Didn't we get blown out the first game of his first season by Indiana State in his debut. And then got blown out again the next week by Seton Hall. Regardless, you're coming off as overly negative. First year, new scheme, 3 of 5 new starters, 4 of 6 highest minute players are new guys. Heck, the starting lineup isn't even figured out yet. Sure, Woody hasn't fixed the bad FT% yet, but there's a lot of other positives. Joe_hoopsier, HoosierHoopster and MoyeNeeded 3 Quote

His first year they had 5 non-con losses (ISU, Seton Hall, Duke, Louisville, IPFW) with only the Louisville loss being single digits with a 9 point loss so even that was barely. Not a great start.

There's a difference. I was raised better than that, so were you, and so were the kids who were doing it. It looked and sounded awful for Indiana University and I care a whole lot about that. Perception is reality. Others' perceptions of that were not positive. Whoozhers 1 Quote
