Well if Woodson wants run an NBA type system he better get shooters 1 through 5 or at least 1 through four. That type of offense doesn’t work in brick city where this team lived. 

Bro…there isn’t an offense in the world that works with our shooters.  
 

We could run Knights 3-2 motion to perfection but we don’t have one guy to knock down those shots. Even in the lean years we had a bailey, evans, guyton type player. We have no one remotely close to that.  
 

We need a talent upgrade. Maybe woody gets outclassed on the sidelines then, but you have to have a scorer or two.

This is the same group that decided that Southern Methodist & Texas A&M weren't good enough for the tournament, but Rutgers was because of a few wins.

Also decided Michigan was good enough for a bye while Oklahoma was out with basically the same resume.  (although actually Oklahoma had more total quad 1 and 2 wins).

Yes “talent” like Khuse who was recruited by such powerhouses as yeshiva university before walking on at smc. He dropped 19 and 6 on y’all! Hahahhaha

This is the quagmire. Lots of dudes can play. Some dudes look like they can play. We’ve been good at getting the latter for years.

Stewart and Kopp were major disappointments!

Purdue has a 100+ ranked defense. Unless they just get lucky, they’re going down and probably early.   
 
And I don’t hate them as much as most. But they’re flawed kind of the opposite way we are. 

I hate them but more concerned on how much bs we hear if they win a championship. I want them out and soon

There is no excuse that Indiana doesn't have better shooters, the State is full of great shooters every year!

Haha normally I agree. But transfer portal changes things. We are tired/ we aren't that good. But we need bigs and transfer can recoup. Hope we play it big.

we just got our @sses handed to us on national television by a college basketball team whose only black student on the roster is a walk-on. ok, I made that walk-on part up, but the rest is definitely true. they only have one black student on the whole team. in the most liberal city in america. and they just wrecked us. what happened?

Fatigue happened!

We need to recruit kids who have the fundamentals first and continue to coach & emphasize their importance. Shoot. Pass. Dribble. Defend. Effort.  Everything else needs to come next.

Woodson's loyalty to them because of their experience has been a detriment at times. Nights like tonight and Senior Night stand out. I hope Woodson can adapt and abandon that when it's not working. Probably going to have to fill out the roster with more talent so he's not forced to make hard choices as we have a lot of flaws with our guys

I've been mumbling that to myself all season. 

[IU - Kaulie]

They are not this good and we are not this bad.  That’s basketball.  It happens. Proud of our team and our season.  
I still believe we will be better next season.  We will lose a few guys and and add a few guys but we will be back.

I mean what’s the bigger story. An IU team that wasn’t going to make the tourney 2 weeks ago and getting beat by a veteran and very good St. Mary’s team or Kentucky losing to freaking St. Peter’s. I mean wow. 

Kentucky. 
 

We were going to win another game at the maximum. Disappointing. UK was thinking final four or better. They have Nola hotel reservations.  They got embarrassed and sent home by a two seed. 

[chicagoHOOSIER]

I bet the plane out of there is right on time!

Woody says what are you talking about they’ll be fine they are 19-20 year olds !

[RaceToTheTop]

If you feel too far down, just go to Rupp Rafters and read the threads.

Kopp still couldn't hit the Sea of Tranquility.

Nor could most of the team today.  By the way, Race has really struggled the last 4 games.  Picked a really bad time to struggle

They were an older well disciplined team that has shot makers. Indiana has none of that.

The B1G needs to switch the Mens and Women's Tournaments since the Women's NCAA Tournament only plays 1 game during this first weekend.  It would give all the mens big ten teams an extra week to prepare for the tournament and rest.
