IUFAN1976 Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 That was ridiculous! I’m glad we won but not really a good win. When you are up that many points with less than 8 minutes to go, you don’t let them back into the game. We only won by 5. Freaking horrible! I thought Woodson should have called a TO when Minnesota cut it to 15. The Syracuse game wasn’t that long ago. MikeRoberts and thebigweave 2 Quote

RaceToTheTop Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I get that Ben Johnson is in a tough situation....but I really don't understand what he's doing with his roster. Three of the guys he brought in were fifth year seniors. Those three took 70% of Minnesota's shots tonight. He consistently plays seven guys with one guy just getting a few minutes. They are 4-14 in the conference. Incredible comeback for them but even if they come all the way back....in terms of the Minnesota program, so what? They are back to square one next year again. He refuses to give his other scholarship players any chance. He has a freshman by the name of Treyton Thompson -- 6'11" kid, skinny, a project. Johnson was forced to play him when they had covid issues......he played all 40 minutes against Rutgers earlier in the year and had 10 points (4/7 from the field) and had 6 rebounds in a 68-65 loss. He's played him sporadically since, usually getting less than 10 minutes. Didn't play him a minute tonight. And the kid has been decent when he has played -- but only gotten in 17 games and averaged under 9 minutes. I could see Johnson ending up being another Hoiberg, constantly changing personnel every year and never having a team gel. lillurk, HoosierHoopster, taco corp and 2 others 5 Quote

We laid an egg and ended up in the NIT. I'm hoping our players come out swinging and ready to enter a trip to the tournament. I hope this team has a better result. I do know this, we better play with focus, effort and determination because Rutgers will. The crowd should help! Quote

DWB Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 SIAP but just heard Woody say in the presser that Gallo's injury is hamstring/groin area. Didn't sound confident of when he would return. Also didn't have any ETA on Lander Quote

Even though we won tonight, I was so ticked off after that game. It didn’t seem we learned anything from the Wisconsin loss.

LamarCheeks Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Didn't realize the weird college career Payton Willis has had. Played two years at Vandy. Transferred to Minny for two years. Redshirted a year. Played a year. Transferred to College of Charleston. Played a year. Transferred back to Minny for this, his final season. It's his sixth year of college. Wonder if Armaan Franklin or Clifton Moore will come back to IU next year? LOL! ellen.walden, HoosierHoopster and Rico 2 1 Quote
