Is that Archie or Woodson on the bench?

[HoosierAloha 30,024]

We have them right where we want! They know they can make a run whenever so we have a chance to get back into it before losing by double digits.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,607]

Why is Woodson so scared to just go off? Holy hell. Lay into a ref and TJD. 

[RoadRage 1,604]

Off to the Colts game....when they get down by 21, I'll be back, might not take long!

[colonel06 1,913]

I’m sure ESPN 2 losing market share in next hour or two now!

[Napleshoosier 10,136]

This has been hard to watch. We are a good basketball team when we play gimme games. Just shaking my head. 

[Hoosier987 1,062]

All too familiar from what we’ve seen the last 20 years. This team looks no different.

Hope X is ok.

[Whoozhers 3,647]

Hoo Hoo HOO is going to restore Indiana Basketball to prominence again?

I want it to be Coach Woodson.

Right now…. I’ve got serious doubts.

Sucks!

[ILHoosier 148]

Pretty much same guys for last 4 years and this seems to be their signature start against good competition. Don’t think it’s going to change rest of year. Yes we’ll go against that stat a few times but starting strong is not in their mind set. Just an observation.

Woody better land a lot of 5 stars. Because Indiana basketball is sunk.  
 

terrible game plan to start this game. Should have done what Arizona did to us. Go over the top. These guys are small.  
 

pathetic coaching and effort. Defense has zero intensity.  That included the Arizona game too.  

I thought that it should have actually been a good start to the game (first few minutes) as we were playing good D and on the offensive side had several wide open shots. The challenge, as it has been for 7 or so years, is that we clanked the shots. 

Our floor is a little higher than last year but the ceiling hasn’t risen much as our biggest offensive weaknesses last year are still the same this year. Really glad we added the freshman but their skills don’t address what we were missing.

I've never been happier to have obligations by halftime. This is garbage. 

I have family visiting so I'm not watching either. I used to hate missing IU games because of stuff like this, but even before the game started, I didn't mind at all. Maybe aging does this to people...or long-term futility, or maybe both. Sucks either way. I'm so tired of being disgusted with this program.

Why is it that Indiana teams are so unenergetic? Like why? What is it about playing for Indiana to play like you don't care? A bunch of Joe Cools, weak minded losers. You can tell none of these have ever won anything at the collegiate level. They don't know how to win or compete. 

[DChoosier 7,773]

At the half.

10-30 (33%) from the field

12 turnovers

Out rebounded 19-12

Kansas 17-28 (61%) from the field

Aside from those few things it is looking good.

Disappointed  by football, disappointed by basketball, I may have to start bowling during the fall and winter!

I feel ya... maybe I'll pick up poetry....

 

[JSHoosier 19,811]

This team has to have more from Davis than they've gotten the last couple of games.

You know, now that you mentioned these pretty boys do seem to be a little too concerned about how they look, stylin’ and what hair style they are going to wear for the TV cameras-somethin’ wrong with that if you are a tough team!

Weren't we taught that you should have as many turnovers as field goals made?

[IUFootballHappyHappyJoyJoy 724]

These guys had one week, and they're just sleepwalking.

Why do we always play at half speed on the road?

We once had a coach who said turnovers are ok because they're part of the game. (no, it wasn't Crean)
