The way some talked about his coaching when he was hired I could've swore he had 5 straight undefeated seasons in the NBA...

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

We're wasting quite a bit of talent I'm not sure we'll see at IU again for awhile.

Who besides JHS and TJD.  Bates coming along.  But everyone else is a role player at best.  

[Trish 11,408]

Why would you not use your final TO there? It’s at the very least good practice for end of game situations. 
 

Wow.

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.

Offense - atrocious

Defense - atrocious

Coaching - atrocious

Basketball iq - atrocious

Free throws - atrocious

Turnovers - atrocious

What am I missing?

[Adillac 920]

That half court shot in a loss feels like a win.

He thought?

Game definitely wasn't as close as the final score.

Every time I watch us play it feels like the coaching gets worse

Who was coming.  Nada. No one.

Didn’t watch the game today. Checking the thread to see the outcome…. Glad I didn’t watch. Not sure I’ll be watching anymore. my wife likes me better when IU is out of the picture. Archie years helped set the table for permanent apathy. This season (and most of last) helped drive the nail into the coffin. Unfortunate. Indiana Basketball is never going to be revived.

Maybe for you!  It made me miss our score in the prediction league

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?

[Henryville Hoosier 932]

Closer than I thought it was going to be.

[Hoosierfan2017 19,887]

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

Will Wade would never lose to Northwestern

[Banksyrules 4,232]

Our beloved basketball program is in shambles.  And has been for for thirty years. Sad times.

Face the facts, Woodson isn't a good coach. Mediocre at best. 

Never said Woodson is.  He might be.  

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

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

[Hoosier987 1,029]

We’re not a tournament team

[HoosierAloha 29,887]

Is this not a bad loss again? Got those few minutes of e and e to fool the computers into thinking our efficiency isn't that bad.
