I am at the point where it just isn't fun or worth my time in the day to watch. I am embarrassed to wear IU garb. I want IU to be great again, it just doesn't seem to be doable with the administration.

I quit after Iowa. Had it on in the background as I helped the wife rearrange our basement storage room. The couple minutes I caught looked just like Iowa.  
 

It’s embarrassing to watch for me. I don’t want anyone I know in real life to know that I watch basketball that bad.

Tied for 11th in the BT. Need to get a W @ PSU to zoom up to our customary 9th place.

Not gonna happen. Can't guard the 3

That looks pretty freaking delicious. I just chucked a ball at my neighbor can I join the turnover party?

1.0 ref blew an inadvertent whistle before you chucked it. Possession arrow keeps you here.

I'm liking what I'm  seeing from JHS and if we get XJ and Race back this might be pretty good team. 

Agreed, we MIGHT be able to finish in the top half of the Big 1.o with XJ and Race back along with how JHS and TJD are putting stats up. It would depend on the e and e of that group.

It'll be too late by that time.

Do it a few more times and you might get a scholarship offer.  Just make sure you can't hit a FT.

F***! Just tossed an apple over to them. Am I in? If not I'm going to start hitting golf balls at their house until I get some of those turnovers.

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

Wrong, we are lucky to have him!

I was repeatedly informed when we landed him how much of a home run hire this was, and that we likely dodged a bullet by whiffing on Brad Stevens.

Hey, Woodson won't go anywhere though.  It's because no one else would hire him but still.

I'd get my scholly yanked in a heart beat. I can barely keep my mouth shut when things are relatively normal. There is no way they'd let me stay around the team after opening my mouth. Of course, they all have decades more basketball experience than I do so they're obviously right.

If we were healthy we win the last two games imo.  And way to early to give up on CMW.  Gang, we don’t need to go down the Rups Rafters hole.

bottom line though is we give up way to many easy baskets and wide open shots.

We've still got enough on the roster to not look that bad at home against NW.

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

It's working for the Colts with Jeff Saturday!

All three 5 star players on our roster are playing.

Boatload of other 4 star, top 150 players.

We don't have a talent problem. Certainly not when matched up with Northwestern at home.

Like you'd actually hit their house with a golf ball 

[Whoozhers 3,638]

Seems to me ….you have to practice bad defense in practice to be that bad at defense in games.

[Napleshoosier 9,781]

I might have them running stairs after throwing the ball away so many times!

Well...mission accomplished.  Now maybe they'll practice playing good defense.

It was absolutely inexcusable that we went away from the press and the zone in the second half after it got us all the way back in the game. No reason to go back to what we were sucking it. I have no idea what he was thinking
