So…if we lose Sunday…where would we project to finish in league play?

Not sure but I’ve read a 5 seed in the NCAA tournament

I had a bad feeling about this one and figured Murray would be the problem. We immediately let him shoot wide open threes and get in a rhythm…..

Wow wtf happened, in a nutshell? Was out and, I guess thankfully, had to miss the game. Why no JG? Injury? How did we curb stomped in the Hall by a team that can’t play D?

JG in a boot.  Willing to bet his foot has never properly healed which is why he has only been playing spot minutes since he first hurt it.

I think the staff has already told people and players that Geronimo, Bates and Duncomb are not Big Ten starters. Build around Renau, Banks and Gunn plus the portal 

Tonight however had nothing to do with the above.  This is a no excuses @$$ kicking at home because we were not prepared for battle!

That’s too bad, and yeah he hasn’t run or gone up for boards the same after the injury. That boot seems to haunt IU

It’s amazing to me that people watch Banks and say this. 

I grew up watching basketball when freshmen didn't play.  He has the tools for a great 4 year player!

Can we still get a double buy if Iowa beats Nebraska

Would think 5 or 6 depending on BTT.

But honestly, you have most likely have  to beat a top 25 type in the second round regardless if you are a 3, 4, 5, or 6 seed.

Everybody wash/burn your lucky shirts, the luck done run out.

It amazes me that people have watched this season and say are we ever going to be good again. We’re a top 5 seed in the tournament.

Yeah and this year is wide open, the parity is just nuts

Woodson will be better when he finds that unlike the NBA, you can’t lose your next game and things be ok. Once he finds the right buttons to push after big, emotional wins, the team culture elevates more. 
 

Right now, the team doesn’t know how to sustain momentum. Now I would like to see them win the B1G tour because they will be forced to learn.

Nothing to do with Woodson, it has to do with the team sleepwalking!

A lot would have to happen.  Northwestern win both their remaining games, Maryland lose both their games, IU beat Michigan.

It’s not surprising. Woodson said at the shoot around that we’re laughing and joking too much. Team didn’t listen.

[Ryno6284 2,560]

I don't even want a double bye anymore!  This team doesn't deserve it!  They got to earn everything from here on out!

[str8baller 5,044]

Swept by Iowa…and Northwestern. That is god awful.  
 

Otoh, we swept Purdue and Illinois. That’s pretty good.    
 

Saturday we were the best team in the Big Ten.  Tonight we were the worst team in the Big Ten.  
 

Fun times!!!

This is good to know and sort of invalidates my earlier point about coach needing to know what buttons to push after a big, emotional win. 
 

Sounds like this one is on the players and maybe whoever had scout, unless it really was that poorly executed. That may be the case considering how they came out of halftime.

Anyone that thinks IU has been less consistent than other Big Ten teams hasn't been watching other teams play.
