Is there any worse combination of fandom than being a Colts and IU basketball fan this year? I can’t be the only one feeling sorry for myself

Add in being a Reds fan…

We fired Archie but most nights you wouldn’t be able to tell from watching this team. 

This hurts because it's extremely accurate. We did add shooters to create space but we don't really use them like we should.

Like Lander?  And whose to say they even set foot on campus 

Are you comparing Lander to JHS & Cupp seriously or are you just letting your emotions get the best of you right now?

Even the Terre Haute TV station questioned the last "and one" travel /nba steps by Wisconsin....

I’m pretty sure I only whine when mods make petty  cracks because I disagree with them 

Dude, I'm fairly confident if looked at your last 1000 posts, 95% have a ton of negativity or whininess....

If only our Gs shot near that %.

Anunoby was a 3 star.....294th in his class.  I'd say he fared pretty well.  Got hurt as a sophomore, but contributed immediately as a freshman on a team that won the Big Ten title.

Lander was supposed to be good. There are no guarantees. JHS is supposed to be good but we don’t know that yet.  And as I said I’m skeptical he sets foot on campus

So….how much does this roster blowup this off season. Woodson sold them a bag of goods. Transfers have been abysmal. This team is Trayce and Race. Both are probably gone. You guys see Lander on the bench at the end?

I’d start Bates and Lander at the 1-2 and let them run and gun. F it. We see what the regulars give. Now that season is over, no more stress during games.

I honestly at this point only keep Geronimo Bates and Galloway. The rest of the team can truly go bye bye. A full rebuild is needed. Time to pull the band aid off now.

How do you turn off caring so much? Being an IU fan has been one of the least satisfying experiences in my lifetime.

Stop watching and check the scores.  The more you do it, the easier it gets.  Start with the games that mean nothing against the 300 level teams we beat up on.

Having kids helped me too.

Go search google again and come back with a better argument. You’re wrong!

Simple eye test bud. The B1G just isn’t as solid as it has been in years past

Definitely not seeing what you’re seeing here. It may not be the best conference like it’s been recently but the strength of the conference is the only thing keeping our tourney chances alive.

But Yeah honestly it boggles my mind that anybody who has coached basketball at the NBA level doesn’t know how to get shooters open. It’s like rule number 1 in the NBA over the last decade 

[yogisballin 2,288]

"eye test"......LOL.  How cute.  But thanks for establishing what an "argument" is.  

Ok bud…have a great night!

Can’t reason/argue with……..

I forgot about that sequence.  
 

I tried to resist it, but I couldn’t hold it in any longer. Individually we are really low IQ. It’s amazing we play good team defense most of the time.  
 

TJD leaves his feet all the time. 
Galloway left his feet and got schooled by the much smaller davidson in the post. 
XJ is a cornucopia of bad mistake possibilities. 
stewart with two consecutive offensive push offs. 
That 3 by Race…sheesh

Lander has no idea how to play D

Bates is a frosh and does frosh things

 Geronimo constantly left his feet and slapped at the ball. 
Tons of missed block outs. 
little situational awareness of time, score, or momentum. 

Basic stuff a college coach shouldn’t have to spend a bunch of time correcting, quite frankly. 

Fundamentals, it what seems to beat even the most talented of IU teams. Why should a coach not be teaching these fundamentals when they keep happening over and over and over and over again?

Let's not start this. I get tired enough of hearing posters talk about how so and so won't be back like it's a sure thing. We don't need to start doing this with recruits as well.

Johnson was wide open several times tonight and missed badly on two of them.

Not the shooter I would be focusing on getting open.

I have tried to stay away from it and refused to hit the panic button while most did. But I called tonight’s game a must win and we lost. 
 

I am pounding on the panic button 

Yea, it’s not the one game. But at some point you have to win some of them. 3 weeks without winning a game after Monday. It can’t happen and maintain anything positive.  
 

We looked like a collection of parts to start. We gelled a little. Teams got tape and can make adjustments on your second trip through the conf, and we don’t have anything else to add.  
 

I think this team is kinda cooked. Maybe I’m wrong; I suppose stranger things have happened. Currently my money is on “1980’s Bob Knight couldn’t bring this team back from the dead” type of flame out.

Good to know, I have my first coming in May.

Honestly, I never really got the Lander hype.  He physically wasn't ready for D1 ball coming in as a 17 year old freshman and he STILL isn't physically ready.....especially for a league as that allows the physical play that the Big Ten does.

While I am concerned next year about the number of players we'll have to count on that will be either be new or were previously guys not getting that many minutes, Hood-Schifino is the least of my concerns.  I'm more concerned with who he's going to pass to.
