At least now the guys can head over to the postgame interviews and find ways to use their funny words of the day. 

That's what really matters.  Not trivial, silly things like effort.

Never said Woodson is.  He might be.  

But we know that Crean isn't.  All hat.  No cattle.

I'm not arguing for/against Crean. Crean did accomplish things at IU that I'm not sure Woodson comes close to doing. (that's from a good and bad perspective)

With each passing game it feels more and more like this program is never going to get back to what it could be

That's quite a bit of talent. When did we have our last big putting up numbers like TJD? When did we have a freshman guard like JHS?

2007-2008: DJ White and Eric Gordon.

He’s an IU guy and we hadn’t tried an IU guy yet! I legitimately believe that was the extent of Dolson’s thought process.

Crean got the IU job because of Wade.  And the fact that IU couldn't buy another decent coach after years of mismanagement.

Might be?  At his age it's probably more likely that he is what he is.

He's not doing anything defensively that's positive

TJD had 4 blocks and 17 defensive rebounds.

And Crean had us actually playing some semblance of basketball at times. Woodson has yet to do so. He's literally an old Archie.

Speaking of….

….. quite possible a few might owe him an apology when this is all over.

14 steals by Northwestern. That's double the number of total turnovers they had (7).

Problem is it’s not about one or two guy’s putting up numbers.  You need talent and good basketball players up and down the roster.

Never understood the idea of someone who has never coached college basketball and hasn’t been a head coach since 2013. 

What do you expect when hiring  a former manager as AD? A former player/alumni had to hired to appease the silver foxes

What am I missing?

Coors Light and Coca Cola affiliations. 

Anheuser and Pepsi til I die!

A more accurate tweet would’ve been “fought at the finish.” Took about 39 minutes for them to show up. 
 

 

[Bowhunter]

Not making excuses but can we not get refs to call a good game? Some of them phantom calls when NW clearly went out of bounce or slipped on their own. We were a Fran breakdown away from winning this game. 
Yes our defense and free throws are atrocious!

[Adillac]

Unless he quits first, Mike will be here until 2026. This year will blow and next year will blow. But he’ll hit s home run in recruiting for 2024 and then we’ll have two years in the tourney and finish top 5 in B1G and then he’ll quit. That’s my macro view. Two years of suck followed by two yrs of average (with hype) and then he retires.

Only need to wait another 15 years for that combo.

[TTT]

IU wins by 15 to 20 vs Northwestern with 12 turnovers at Northwestern Ladies basketball start time @ 3:00pm.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Woodson absolutely needs to resign. We are in year 6 of Archie ball and it still sucks.
