Who will get thrown under the bus tonight?

He threw Galloway under the bus.  I honestly thought it would be worse.  Hes starting to Crack.  But Mike isn't walking away from $10M.

I canteen listen to his press conferences. They are pathetic.

8:45pm EST tip off and the game thread died off by 11:45pm EST. I think we’ve made the turn.

WHAT HAPPENED?

[HoosierAloha 30,024]

When your team blows balls there are only a few things left to do, stop watching and make money off of them. Predictable result

Maybe Trey should try this hairdo for the next game?

 

 

May or may not have me saying this although the meaningless three had me saying it and I would've said had he won us the game on some heroic last second shot with the game tied or down one in my heart of hearts.

Dolson needs to know this conduct that we see is embarrassing to the University.

where is he in all this?

And now it is like the refs are watching our guys even more closely, calling fouls they might not normally call to make sure things don't get out of hand. They are getting a reputation which I believe is undeserved, for the most part I think these are all good kids! And hearing Hummel last night talking about our program like it needs defending...maybe he meant well, but for me that was embarrassing and actually made me feel a little ill!

It’s a leadership problem, nothing else.  I don’t think they can fix the issue this late in the season but it would greatly help if the coaches, especially Woodson, quit playing big brother and light some fire under their A$$.   Start holding them accountable for their actions and not pacifying them.  The leadership has to start at the top.  The first thing I would do if I were him is strip the captain status from Trey Galloway and X and then I would give it to Reneau on a trial basis.  He seems like the only one who isn’t even displaying any leadership qualities.

But no seriously does anybody have the number for the props department in the drama school?

Can you believe he hasn't? Why would x still be a captain after the rutgers ejection? That is not the actions of a quality captain! I guess cj was just following the actions of the captain. We will never know but I would bet if we seen how x acted behind the scenes nobody on here would think he should be captain. I hope I am wrong and x is and was leading the right way and it just seems like he is a head case when we see him in competition.

I think his actions on the floor are definitely magnified but I say he has those type of tendencies and traits off the court as well.  That should have been the first CMW should have done, stripping the captain status from him.  It just proves to me that CMW is a bad judge of character and doesn’t want to show anyone he made a mistake.

Just a dumpster fire. X coming back was a huge mistake.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,929]

Didn't watch or listen.  Felt in my heart this is exactly what would happen.  Fisch's quote "I am embarrassed of this ball club. Not because of the score."   To hear that from Fisch is almost unimagineable.

Woody:  "I have to get them over the hump."  Me:  "Woody, you can't  get them over a dried up piece of grass lying on the sidewalk without stubbing their toes."

What 'punishment' does CJ receive?  Can't hold him out of the starting lineup since he doesn't start.

Everything needs to be in place for the minute the '24 portal season opens and the AAU season starts for a new coach to begin to replace this roster.

I haven't watch a game since the Rutgers game.

I've been saying that since X pulled his stunt in the Rutgers game... I was told to knock it off... but the fact that social media, the fan base and others are coming around to my position brings me no joy. X is selfish, immature, and there's no place for him to hide anymore. 

And then there's the fact that Woody is stubborn and will not adapt, nor will he enact any consequences for X (not starting 2 games? c'mon, man) or Gunn is incredibly telling. Lack of consequences for bad behavior only send the message that he condones that behavior. Woody really downplayed the whole Gunn elbow/ejection in the post game presser...

What's going through the minds of Hulls and Cheaney when they watch this cheap imitation of IU basketball?  Would love to know how Quinn Buckner is enjoying this farce with his buddy running the show.

And we get a whole week to dwell on this crap before we get to go to Champaign and play Illinois and likely see a repeat performance.

Exellent point and looking more and more like he is the root of the problem and not necessarily the players themselves.

Unquestionably this is Woodson fault. This roster although with faults should never be this bad. This is at the point where I will say it's the worst coaching job I have seen at iu. The ejections and flagrant 1s just put the icing on the cake. I have felt we underperformed last season and we got second in the big! The coach isn't putting these kids in the best position to win before the season starts and then handicapps them with poor in game coaching. We have to have a upgrade because this is terrible!

I think we all knew wins would be hard to come by in this stretch. It’s compounded by not grabbing a couple of easier wins earlier and being totally uncompetitive.  
 

I like Sparks and think there is a limited role for him, but any small glimmer of hope I had for last night was dashed seeing him start. I can’t even wrap my mind around Woody’s thought process of being wedded to two traditional bigs. It’s a like a 1990’s NBA style of basketball thinking or something.
