I watched the whole damn game. ThInking the refs cost us this game is as weak minded as this team is.

Ignoring the continued incompetence of Big Ten refs is the weakest mind set you can have.  We absolutely didn't play well at the end, but if you don't think that a non-reviewable review + a made up three point play in the final minute of a tight game doesn't have an effect on the game, then go sell crazy elsewhere.

I like Woodson but at the end of the day no other high major team would have even given him an interview. There’s a reason why. First college is different than NBA and second he wasn’t that great in the NBA

NBA teams weren't exactly lining up to give him another shot as HC either.  We hired a sub .500 NBA assistant simply because he played for IU a long time ago.

Maybe no one else wanted the job...

When Parker is stymied at the end fkg Kopp has to move.  He just stood there out of sight.  

I doubt he wanted the ball :(

So it wasn’t the refs but it was the refs? Hah. Got it. 

How in the HELL did you get that from his post?  Jesus.

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,833]

Johnny Davis waving to the crowd, yelling "Bye-bye. Bye-bye" almost makes me hate him more than Davison. 
Almost. 
What a di-khead. 

Probably. But it’s an adrenaline dump after winning a highly contested game on the road that he willed his team to win. It’s whatever. Just like Illinois trolling us after their win. Win the games and maybe we can have some bravado.

I do hate Davison though. He’s cheap and dirty.

So do you want him to be coach or with that last comment are you being sarcastic?

As far as your “it only takes being an IU guy” comment…..Didn’t we offer a non-IU guy 10,000,000 a year? 

But it’s Brad Stevens, who has accomplished more than Woodson ever has. 
 

More than what a lot of coaches ever have, to be fair.

Yeah but I feel like IU needed to go outside the box and while the hire didn’t blow me away it made sense. 
 

I just think it’s going to take a major overhaul of this roster to get out of the middle of the pack. And unfortunately it seems like whatever player IU brings in lately doesn’t live up to any expectations. Our last two 5* couldn’t carry Wisconsin’s 3* jock straps 

It’s never made sense to me and the continued 5 man bench line ups and the terrible transfer performance is why.  I would fire him tomorrow and give Fife the job for next season if I could. At least fife understands the college game

I don't think it matters who the coach is with this roster.  It's not going to be pretty

Oh, looked who showed up.

Deal with it. Time to face reality. This team ain't good and this program is as dead as it can get. 

[Banksyrules 4,253]

I’m not even that upset. I’m 43  and since my senior year at IU, we have seen mediocrity take it’s course. I was a huge fan. Checking out our recruit so, tracking development, did it all. Now I’m just numb.  I wonder if anyone else feels this way. Such a sad sight.

Indiana now 23-37 in February/March since 2016. This program is dead. 

and that isn't even really a bad thing either. so many fun things to do with 6 or 7 more hours of free time every week Nov through March. It's not even a bad thing really to add all of that time to the free time ledger. Think of all the several hour bad moods you can lose now every week. No even a decision to say wow, good-bye, thank you for all of the free time I can use now.

[Crazy about IU 154]

A good team can’t have major short comings. One of the plays that changed momentum was when Race shot the 3 pointer early in shot clock.I feel like he has been our most consistent player. Love him and Galloway. This team finds ways to beat there self’s.

Looks like Dane Fife would have taken it

Hell he was out of the NBA for two years very recently. He hasn’t been a head coach in almost a decade. 
 

He shouldn’t get all the blame and obviously he didn’t recruit all these players, but he has hasn’t been all that impressive in tough times this season.

I'm not sure how a coach who "understands the college game" is suddenly going to give these players the ability to hit open shots.

- Please no more Pittsburg transfers. Johnson is a bigger headache than Newkirk. His inability to shoot kills our already limited offense. 
 

- Parker and Kopp have officially displayed why they are transfer kids. 
 

- Love Trey, but how do you grow up in Indiana and not learn how to shoot the basketball? 
 

- Woodson lineups were questionable at times. 5 bench players in at one time, twice in the same game vs a ranked opponent in a very important game? NO!

 

- Terrible execution at the end. We have Parker Stewart handling the ball at the top after the Iverson cut from Kopp? I’m not buying that. Stewart can’t put the ball on the ground, im sure it wasn’t the look but man that was terrible! 

Agreed on no more Pitt transfers. Stewart was there at one time too, and if he's not hitting from outside he's unplayable.

Fife is already on the bench. If he could magically fix this mess, don't you think he would have done it by now?  C'mon man.

Can we sub Matta for Woody? Aren’t they both on the payroll to get these shitty results. 

I was under the impression that Matta is being groomed for the Butler AD position.

Yeah but bad coaching sure isn’t helping. An all bench line up doesn’t work unless your bench is good. We don’t even have 5 good starters
