Game Thread: IUBB at Kansas Sat 12/17/22 Noon ESPN2

Gonna have to come up with more adjectives to describe how bad we are I’ve exhausted all that I know……

[lillurk 3,738]

Kansas is good. Kansas played pretty well. And yet IU could’ve competed with adequate defensive effort and basic offensive execution (limiting insane TOs, converting at the rim). Concerning, and yet if X’s health is okay, this team could eventually turn it around.

So that’s what I’m looking for: X’s health, limiting self-lacerating decisions, and effort.

If I see IU lose another 3v1 rebound situation I will take a bath with my toaster

All we need to do is out score them 27-5 and I nail the prediction league !!

 

 

EDIT: I now need us to out score them 20 to negative 4.  
Not looking especially good.

We should just take Grinnell College’s tact when it comes to recruiting. Just get guys who can shoot, and take nothing but 3s all game. 
 

Our current approach isn’t working…

I definitely wouldn't go that far. 

This team should have no problem finishing top 5 in conference which would be a lock for the tournament.

But it's clear we are not a national championship contender, which is what we all wanted before the season started.

It's a bitter pill to swallow because it appears this will be our most talented team for the next 2 years or so.

Purdue, MSU, Maryland, Illinois and Wisconsin are better than us.  
 

Iowa, OSU and Rutgers are better than the current team on the floor.   
 

If I had to bet I’d peg us 5th and 9 or 10 seed. But the team on the floor now probably finishes 9th in the B1G. The team from the xavier game could finish 2nd or 3rd.  
 

Either way it’s entirely possible we miss the tourney. I might bet on it if I got 11/2 odds.

At least we have the girls!

A lot of folks are rooting for Kansas to break out their MSB's and Chilly Willy's for the last 3 minutes.

Kansas isn’t a very good team. I mean they’re okay but we aren’t overmatched at any position. We just can’t shoot and we aren’t coached very well. That’s why we suck.

[LIHoosier 25,758]

Reneau just got dicked

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,583]

Catch you next time.  I still love I.U. basketball, but it's hard on our mental health.  

[str8baller 5,017]

Good job banks…walk back on defense and get schooled. Put the walkons in

I think that’s entirely accurate.

With less talent. What does that tell you.

[monskisprodigy 1,814]

This went from bad, to worse. Looks like they have just quit. 
 

I really didn’t expect to see a Mike Woodson team do this. Makes me worry. 

[pumpfake 3,930]

23 point lead. Under 3 minutes to go and Self still playing some of his starters?

[coonhounds 8,787]

Really hard to say just how bad we are. This team couldn't beat anybody today.

Man this program is never ever one time going to at least try to help out the seasonal depressive crowd, are they?

Purdue recruits guys who can shoot and are good, smart basketball players — and takes care of the rest once they arrive. 
 

We recruit guys who can run and jump, but aren’t good basketball players. We hope at some time, they’ll learn how to shoot and play the game — but they rarely do.

The world of NET and metrics. Computers don't see the benches being emptied if you win by 15 instead of 30.
