So, a team oozing with talent on the road Saturday has virtually nothing to zero except for TJD 3 days later at home. Unexplainable.

10 TO’s. 16 of 20 from the line. Not bad stat.

Out rebounded by 12. No bueno.

Let's look on the bright side.  Iowa only made 13 3s against us.  Geoergia Tech hit 18 in a 96-76 pounding of Syracuse.

I don't understand how we can get outrebounded like we do often. I believe it's more than just unlucky bounces at this point no? We have good to great size at every position. It has to be something else.........

Lack of hustle plays into it, imo.

I'd add scheme, your perimeter defenders consistently getting beat while your bigs rotate to block the shot giving up offensive rebounds.

Effort has a lot to do with it too. Blocking out vs. just going for the ball

Burn the game tape, run them hard at practice, and get them ready for Michigan on Sunday.  Teams have games where they lays eggs but it really sucks it happened so late in the season.  Also stinks because they most likely won't get the double bye next week now unless they win and get some help in other games.

I think I would be the opposite. Point out every single mistake on the game tape. Film doesn’t lie. Maybe have a hard practice but not sure what that does other than make us more tired. But definitely make them watch that embarrassing performance a couple times.

also fundamentals.  Defensively we lack them in several categories.  But rarely do we box out classically.  We just "sky" for rebounds.  Offensively, its part strategy and partly the players.  Reneau and Geronimo try to offensive rebound.  Race and Trayce a little bit.  But in generally we don't try hard to offensive rebound.  We also don't shoot a lot of 3's that lead to the longer easier offensive rebounds.

Nobody got injured that we know of so maybe that is the bright side

[Whoozhers 3,652]

Optimism isn’t rational at this point but….. it’s all we got.

Get it together HOOSIERS and never let a debacle like last night happen again.

Crush the Wolverines!!

Awesome! Just sat down at BDubs for lunch and guess what is replaying ?

I suppose if there is a straw to grab ahold of that would be it.  Doesn't make me feel any better though.

Definitely go through the tape.  I'd run box out drills until they were sick too.

Last night was bad. It makes things so much more difficult for a team that worked so hard to put themselves in a good spot. Can probably kiss a double bye away and a 3 seed. However, you would have thought it was the 6-25 season when I logged on last night to this site.

Don't get me wrong, I'm mad they blew this opportunity and it's by far the worst loss of the season. Big picture...starting with the home game against Purdue I would have been thrilled with going 5-3 in our last 8 games. 7 of the 8 games IU played a tournament team. Michigan is a bubble team. Now, if they come out flat against Michigan and get bounced in the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday/Friday we have reason to be upset. But this season isn't over. I want to see how these guys respond. IMO they're in a similar position they were in right after the Penn State game. They responded pretty well. 

One last thing..I don't understand the worry yet over next year. It sucks to lose Trayce and probably Jalen. If IU's roster in May has Malik/Trey as our best players, we can worry. However, Mike Woodson isn't dumb. He knows the second this season ends he has to hit the portal. If he doesn't, he deserves to lose his job. I wouldn't be surprised if he has an idea of guys who may want to transfer to IU. Everyone just wait and see what happens. 

That being said, I feel like Woodson has to win at least couple of games in the tournament for this season to feel like it was a success. Indiana has one of the best all-time players with a legit one and done freshman. Not saying Coach Woodson won't be able to field another good team, but when you have that combo you need to do something with it.

Is it just me or does it seem like Iowa has been a thorn in our side longer than Wisconsin has?
