They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Home Jersey]

Program is exactly where we all want it to be grinding out a win against a PSU team that shot extremely poorly from 3 today. I admit I wrote the team off too soon as in I assumed we’d continue seeing the same lack of effort we have been prior to the past two games especially. Doesn’t mean I’m particularly impressed. Just that I think we can now probably win 8 or 9 games instead of 6 or 7. Better barometer than Rutgers but why overreact - not like we beat a top 25 team. USC is very winnable and 4-1 to start conference season be a good start before the conference schedule really gets tough. Thank goodness gracious this is our last season with Mike as HC. He’s pitiful.

I get it.

When teams hit a high percentage of 3’s our defense sucks.

When teams hit a low percentage of 3’s their offense sucks.

Again, not what I said. If you’re arguing they missed a bunch of wide open threes to include one at the end that would have tied it due to something we did, I don’t know what to say. Penn State didn’t shoot 14% because of how awesome our defense was lol.

Like I mentioned earlier, I was following online. Couldn't see everything, but it looked like a LOT of red was in the stands. And considering Penn St never has anyone at home games, I could understand IU having more at the Palestra. Wonder how vocal we were?

There were more than 15% IU fans and they were vocal in a positive way

Did their struggles come about somewhat because of our D? Maybe.

That much below? Nah, they just stunk up the joint. We're not THAT good defensively.

It’s really gonna depend on not playing two bigs. I wanna see one or the other off the bench. We do that, I think 10 wins is possible. Not holding my breath though. It’s not the first time we’ve seen better play with one big since Malik stays in foul trouble.

That was a heck of win away from home by IU. Usually how it works if a team shoots bad and has a bad game the other team takes advantage.  Pretty sure that’s how it works with every team.   Illinois took advantage of a terrible game by Oregon and they won by 30 on the road.

Still don't see it.

Penn St couldn't hit the Atlantic Ocean if they were standing on Daytona Beach.  3-20 from behind the arc, 58.8 % from the FT line. Why did they agree to play in the Palestra instead of home - it was a defacto IU home game with all the alumni from that area?

Woodson is forced to play without Reneau inside and they overall play better. They're still not good. The slide is coming; days like today only mask what is inevitable.

They play there once a year

Disingenuous argument but sure

I suspect Woodson wins 10 or 11 which is enough to save his job. The expectations are pretty low so that should do it. People thinking he is gone are delusional imo.

It would be more disingenuous to pretend they shot so poorly because of our defense, as if it was amazing, when it wasn’t. I read USPS’s post a little differently… Oregon had a poor shooting game and Illinois took advantage to the tune of 30, whereas we did 6. Yeah always good to win on the road in conference, but this doesn’t make anyone radically recalibrate their idea of Woodson/the team. It’s still PSU hoops. We did what we were supposed to do… and just barely. I’m not mad we won but I’m not looking to hang the banner like the true fan club is.

I’m trying to will his departure into existence even though I’m not at all 100% sold it’s a given yet that we part ways. Scary thought.

And I think it was a tough scout for PSU as well. There isn’t much film of IU playing 1 in 4 out. We play very different with 1 big

I agree, neither the Rutgers game or this game moved my needle. Rutgers was missing Harper and PSU probably hasn't shot that poorly from 3 and the FT line all season and probably won't again. We've been fortunate these first couple games

Since a handful of posters have taken it upon themselves to repeatedly post that he'll still be around, I say go for it.

I think he will be back. I mean he has the highest priced team in the big ten so winning 10 games should not be hard. I expect an extension happens also. We are stuck win him imo. Maybe one year year he gets lucky and makes a sweet sixeteen.

I’ve yet to see consistent play that makes me think this team can beat teams like Illinois, UCLA, MSU, etc. We will surely get a few Q1 wins because of how well the B10 did in the non conference but I don’t think they’re going to come against the top 3rd of the league and that’s the minimum standard we should be expecting imo. But hey I’m sure AH and Steuben think it’s time for an extension lol

What we expect and what quinn and the cooks expect are probably much different. I fully expect 10 or 11 wins to be enough to save him. His twitter cult should be very very happy. If Woodson wants to come back he will be back.

We are really living in a world where people thump their chests due to wins over Rutgers and “road” wins over Penn State where you could hear the Lets Go Hoosiers chant through the TV lol. We are not serious.

That's  what you think? Glad you said it  because we were all unsure of where you stand since you post the same thing only 20 times a day.

The expectation even from the cult was to compete for a B1G title and a 2nd weekend in the NCAAT. What, other than just being a negative person, makes you think that 10-10 gets him another year?
