IUBB vs #2 Kansas - Saturday, 12.16.23 @ 12:30 on CBS

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,662]

There isn't a guard in the country on Oladipo, Burke's, Hardaway, Harris, Appling, Siva, Smith, MCWs level right now. And Dipo would be taking everyone's lunch money in his sleep. I bet Hulls would be taking 10 3s a game. Zeller would still dominate(for whatever reason, he gets almost forgotten).

Kelvin has a top 5 team yet again.  The administration has no one to blame but themselves for this disaster.

I found my positive. Hopefully iu losing will hold purdue to second in the country. It may not and probably should not but if we won today they definitely would be. It's the little things

I don't see how Kansas beating an NIT team is better than beating the #1 team. Purdue just looks like the best team in the nation. Not super close either.

I enetered this phase somewhere between the end of Mike Davis and the end of Crean. It’s hard to pinpoint when. I could hardly stand to watch the Archie era.   
 

We’re 25 years removed from anything resembling a great program. 

It actually started around the 96-97 season when we stopped being a consistent winner. We still made the tournament but wasn't a real  high seed and lost in the first round 4 out of 6 seasons after the 94 sweet 16 team.

I know Galloway had a career day and Cupps played well but the difference between us and them is guards. One assist each for our two guards who played 38 plus minutes. We win this game with a healthy X.

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

Watching this game I couldnt help but wonder why we didn’t bring  in a solid guard. Very good front court and a big time atmosphere  seems like guys would line up for that.

Because we got Anthony Walker instead.

Although he’s not a stud guard, I actually think Walker has really done pretty well the last few games off the bench.

Sure.. he just wasn't needed... At all. Could have really used a guard though. But I was told that X, Cupps and Galloway were more than enough.

The NCAA is probably still laughing about that too.

Ya well can’t do anything about it now. Not too sure why we keep bringing it up. The team we have is the team we have. And believe me I agree with you 100 percent.

Walker didn't keep us from getting a guard

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-.

Woody should have used both of the last 2 spots on guards.

Probably would’ve had a title or two by now too

Definitely self inflicted.  But set the program back decades.  Which may have been the idea with the boobs we had running things at the time.

Sampson was the only serious coaching hire we have made since Knight.  None of the other hires were the moves of a serious program.

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

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