True. Woody was put in plane to connect the past and present. Gotta find the guy to get us to the next level.

Depending how long woody goes for, that’s likely the next coach. Woodson inherited a compete dumpster fire, second only to what Crean inherited. It’s going to take some time to develop consistency — like KU and UNC did with Self and Roy.

Indeed he was. But there were plenty of others. Woody just didn't want them.

Right but guys here thought he was Jesus.  Apparently he’s not.  Point is it’s easy to say “just get a guard” on the interweb.  Real life is a bit different.

That's why we have scouting. And some are misses. Some aren't. Timberlake looks like a miss at KU. Knecht looks really good at Tennessee.

Both guys who made it pretty clear they wanted no part of IU as did some others . Just seem snake bit in that department. Guys want to win and play modern basketball not look up at dusty banners and go to nicks .

No team with Trayce Jackson Davis can be called a complete dumpster fire

And made the tournament. With the roster this staff built there's talk of not making a 68 team field.

I don't blame guards for not wanting to play in this system.

Purdoo just looks like the best team in the nation. Not super close either.

Of course they do, it's December!

Before euphoria overcomes everyone, keep in mind this is how we started out the Auburn game and we all know how that ended.

Great foresight!  You should try the prediction league!  I bet you'd be good in there.

Oh wait, I see you in the bottom of the results now

You’re right. Miller was coach of the year.  Should have given him a Tom Allen style extension.  :)

[MikeRoberts 7,726]

Just like the Auburn game where we were stuck on like 26 for what seemed like a century, we got stuck on 56. We were up like 56-46 and they beat us to 60.

unreal how we just get stuck and have no solve

What system is that.  You keep screaming that we need guards.  Would an A+ guard who can shoot make a difference on this team or not?   A skilled guard would get plenty of opportunities to make his mark.

Going to disagree here. Ignoring the Yogi-Wat-Vic-Cody teams is just that, ignoring them.

I’m not ignoring them, just recognizing the fact that one team in a couple decade doesn’t make a great program. Mediocre programs can accomplish  that. Purdue, Illinois, Marquette, and a dozen or more other schools…have had similar teams or runs in that period.  
 

You need to be throwing out a team like that every 3-4 years, or more, to be a top program. We’re haven’t been that for thirty years.

Wasn’t one of the guards we went after sitting on the KU bench.  Justin’s little “brother.”  

Timberlake made a HUGE mistake going there and it was something that could have been foreseen.  He was going to get stuck behind better players.  If he went elsewhere, he could have gotten a ton of looks and pt.

We should care because we should quit acting like Woody is doing an A+ job. When he's sitting at a steady C or C-.

Yeah, this. We’re not a disaster like we were under Archie. But he’s not knocking it out of the park either. People will say we’re just being negative, but it’s true. It’s year 3 and we’re looking like a fringe tournament team. Three point shooting is non-existent. Weaknesses haven’t been addressed in the portal. In-game coaching is still shaky.

What a bunch of whiners.

We played the No.2 team in the country even up with .....2 frosh, 2 soph and 1 senior. One starter from last years team. They played 4 upper classmen including a All American center, and 1 frosh. Experience matters.

We were a couple FT's , a made basket, a TO or two, a couple bad calls from winning that game.

Suck it up.
