Interesting comment from Fornelli

Pretty certain Fornelli is just making fun of IU fans for having Stevens as their white whale.

“It’s not his fault that NW made 13 3’s.They won’t do that again this season. We battled back when down 14.”

Well, it was unfair. Collins appeared to be helping his shooters find shots and the refs just let it go.

Part of me just feels so bad for Woodson, I mean, opposing teams fans chanting to keep you is very funny but has to hurt the ego. The worst part is, the fan base is so obviously over Woodson that now opposing teams fans are making a joke out of it (and it already is one). That wouldn't happen if it weren't such an obvious thing and I bet in his mind he feels betrayed in a way. That's why he's recluding and not doing his media stuff, etc. The thing is... even if the results were not good, the fans wouldn't have such "visceral" feelings if he at least made it look like he were putting in the maximum effort this entire time to win big like he said he wanted to do. 

But by now the story is already written. 

Woodson didn't seem to be coaching nearly as hard as he was against Ohio State...

Were you at the game? I spoke to a guy in the stairwell on the way out and he looked at me and said exactly what you typed

I bet tucker and Carlyle make more combined in NIL than possibly all of northwestern and they barely play. Woodson overpayed for basically everyone

Well, Woodson is being overpaid, so...

[BleedCubbieBlue 1,777]

I just want to make sure that the crazy pills I took earlier aren’t wearing off. I know this runs counter to the narrative that Kathy is feeding but, we did actually fire Kelvin Sampson mid-season because he didn’t do the things he said he was going to do, right? Why would anyone question whether we should fire Golfy McWineslurp and his merry band of idiots that can’t land recruits? Show and prove or FAFO.

So....any new coaching candidates come to mind?

I mean...Calipari doesn't look horrible in a red sport coat right now.

Anyone who's thinking of putting actual money on IU to win games this season, DM me for my PayPal/Cash app. I have some fools gold and a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. I promise it will be money better spent.

[cbp4iu 2,042]

I wonder what Woodson was thinking when the NW fans were doing a sarcastic cheer for him. I wonder if he really feels like  NW wants him. Not only that he got “outside noise tonight.” If IU beats Maryland I wonder if he’ll stick out his chest again…

What a night, I’ve been busy with my own basketball stuff. Great WIN for the tank train tonight folks! We are back to normal speeds with our destination getting clearer by the day! 

 

FIRE MIKE WOODSON!

I believe he is differently one of the top coaches in the BIG. Please don’t bring up his overall record. His players always play hard and stay in games with far less talent. Would love to see him at IU. 

I agree. If he was at a school that didn't have strict admission criteria and more NIL, I think he woukd have a much better record

"The fans want me to stay."

"Mike, those are Northwestern fans. When opposing fans want you to stay that's not good."

I understand the poster's point of view.  

Personally, I can never ever celebrate Indiana loosing.   But I support getting rid of the current coaches.

 I just cannot fathom bad defense in the conference games.  I just cannot fathom lack of movement being allowed on offense.  I just cannot abide with a coach that doesn't maximize matchups.

I believe, whether IU wins or loses, gets in a post-season NCAAT or not, Coach Woody is gone.

Have the prospective HC in the wings.

Just lose the head coach.  Renegotiate his exit payout.  Sign it.  Bye.

Welcome to the new HC.  Celebrate that.  

Inevitable...within months.
