I agree with everything except extending him with an E8 appearance. Our biggest failure over the last 20+ years is sustainment. Personally, I'll be elatedly shocked by an Elite 8 out of Woodson, but either way, he needs to show he can put together more than a good year here and there. He needs to show that he can build the program for yearly success, especially if he's going to depend so heavily on the portal.

I guess when he got his raise he didn't get an extension. So this will be year 4 of 6 on his contract. With the way recruiting works, they'll be at the point where they need to either extend him or get rid of him.

^^ Yes, I see this year as the season CMW must take the team deep in conference and in March -- that, as a necessity for potential extension. And also agree though with @bigrodthat this season is just 1, minimally he'll have to replicate it (strong season) the following season.

Given how easy the preseason schedule is he should start the big ten at 12-1 or undefeated. There really is no excuse for not winning 25 games plus this year and making at least the sweet sixeteen.

Undefeated OOC would be great as there is a decent chance we will play the #5 and #9 teams in the country (assuming we beat Louisville) at the Atlantis tourney.

We only play 11 non conference games so I doubt we could go 12-1

Could not remember. So 10-1.

we've been cold from the 3 pt arc for quite some time here at IU.  Let's see if this "new" offense makes us warm and fuzzy

Still don't have any shooters really.  Goode is a decent shooter not a great one.  That's why we won't go very far in the tournament.

will be interesting.  I def think we get more shots up if we run fast and get out.  Our 3pt hitting %? who knows

[Chris007 53,792]

3 instate kids, 2 of them have IU ties and you only get one. After the last 3 seasons. That's Fireable IMO if we don't make the sweet 16 this year

FWIW, Woody will never be 'fired.'

When the time and buyout are right, he will 'retire.'

Can we let the season start and play out before rehashing this topic
