Don’t know….he definitely looked okay in warmups.

I was hoping it wasn't the "or something"...

I feel like they would've announced if he was in the dog house though.

He was dancing during starting lineup announcement. He’s not hurt. Just Woodson prefers playing Kopp clearly. I still don’t know what I’m missing that he’s seeing out there

It's just a bad matchup - Michigan actually plays well and hits shots

It's the officials - Michigan actually bodies up and doesn't reach with their hands. On offense, they attack and go up strong.

They do the opposite of what we do.

Just wish we played with more E and E.

Just cannot believe we would get a DNP in a game like this. I understand Trey is back, but good god miller and Parker are terrible

It's pick your poison proposition, IMO. 

[Chris007 61,821]

We need more G and H too

Hard to watch a do or die game where we struggle to keep it within 10 points

Did you watch Senior Night? This is what Woodson does I guess. The lineups are the lineups. Geronimo sat for 15 minutes in the second half then got us tied and was taken out to let Parker and Kopp close out the game

Bates hasn’t shot the ball well.  But he hopefully has something Kopp doesn’t have here - a future.

that said, I’d rather have Stewart on the bench than Kopp.  Stewart is a worse defender which says something.

It seems many of our guys see it as a "Do or what ever" game.

You don’t know have to tell me. I’ve been asking for an end to the Kopp and Parker experience for nearly a month now. I just don’t understand the appeal of playing them together

Oh I watched and listened to postgame comments by woody. Just unbelievable 

[RoadRage 3,011]

There is no excuse for IU to play so poorly in this tournament!

If/when we are in the NIT neither should play in the NIT play the guys who actually need to be here next year.

I’m in favor of just ending the season if we lose this game 

[ILHoosier 148]

Win or lose this game just face the facts IU just average 5 yrs in a row. they are most of the same players Archie had that CMW brought back. Not mentally smart when it comes to floor savvy. A coach can only do so much with this talent. Why should we expect more? I believe CMW has done great with X and RT. CMW admits he’s still learning. Same guys that bailed on Archie bailing now.

[RaceToTheTop 30,651]

I will say that when the players came out, I counted 10 guys in suits on the bench.  Way too many guys on the bench thinking they should have input on this team.

[Chris007 61,821]

Logan Duncomb is not in uniform or at the game

[monskisprodigy 2,284]

We just aren't a good team...offense is unbearable, can't shoot...same stuff we have been discussing the entire season. As harsh as it is, we need serious roster turnover, and a lot of these guys to not come back. Great kids, no doubt...good basketball players, not so much. 

What's most noticeable IMO, is the body language just looks like they know they are going to lose.
