Not good...

It will get ugly.  Very ugly.  This hire never made any sense at all.

What happened with Xavier's flagrant?

I didn't see much.  I know people are calling out X here, but didn't look like anything but a typical foul to me at most.

It's not good, but he's not wrong.

Yeah, I agree completely (my posts show as much). I love yelling at games as much as the next guy. I'm even okay with some heckling, to be honest. But cussing during a quiet moment in the arena, meaning people could definitely hear, will certainly not help Woody's mood (before the game he was very testy about people questioning his rotations, it's obviously a sore topic). Not saying Woody doesn't deserve to feel some heat for that (he does) but it definitely sounds like one of those "turning point" moments in terms of perception among fans/players/etc. Things are going to get ugly with the boo birds.

He got physical with Eddy as he cut down the lane. Pretty freaking weak, imo. But i didn’t catch the slomo replay either

Did anyone honestly expect much better?

Win?  No.  Better?  Yes.

Loyer has a Grayson Allen way about him. I think its the extremely punchable face and whiny cry baby tendencies. 

I was saying to my parents who is going to be the hated player that goes off tonight.

I never knew I’d live to see this kind of  a massacre on our own floor by Purdue no less.

Yep.  But he refuses to ever adjust.  When a guy gets two fouls, he pulls him.  Surprised he even played them the last couple of minutes.

You have to have situational awareness as a coach.  When you have a starter with two fouls whose important to your offense and you see the lead barreling out of control, you throw out your normal and put them in.

What will be worse is if Ware or Mgbako pick up an early third foul and he pulls them again.

Actually you play them earlier and take them out the last 2 min so as not to pick up that cheap foul. It’s just bad coaching here.

There is a problem when a coach can't handle criticism, though.  The fact that he blew up on a reporter simply asking about substitution patterns is a very bad look

At least our cheerleaders are happy!

I disagree that the fouls would not make up more than just a few points.

First off, Eddy had his 2nd foul 5 min into the game and then again and again did. You call any of those this game changes.

they are letting Purdue be as physical as they want, IU tries to return it and called for all of it. 

That’s exactly what I noticed.  Edey should have 4 fouls called on him.  I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but Edey lowers his left shoulder to clear space?

I need to go catch a game! Aren’t they in the top 25 right now?!?

They were 19th a week or two back... currently unranked, but 16-1 in the WAC.

Going well? Couldn't watch the first half as too many devices were connected at once to my sister's Peacock? 51-29, might not watch much myself this half

[RaceToTheTop 24,572]

Robbie Hummel just said Ware and Mgbako had 4 fouls.  Foreshadowing?

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,530]

I just feel bad for everyone at Indiana. Woodson, the coaches, the fans. Everyone. This sucks. But it’s not good enough. Maybe, it’ll never be good enough. Not sure who fixes this mess.

Most other schools student sections would have been long gone by now. At least we have that.

We beat them by 37 at Mackey in 2013. We were Top 3 in the nation. They'll probably do the same to us.

[RaceToTheTop 24,572]

I counted nine seconds in the lane for Edey that last trip

[Adillac 953]

You just have to double the post and make them hit 3s. If you don’t do that you have no chance. Come on Woody, make a choice.
