Teams will start adjusting to iu with only one big now if he isn't coming back soon. They will certainly scout out running the one in. The better teams will defend iu well on the perimeter.

Wouldn't that leave one on one matchups in the post? Not many bigs are stopping Ballo on the block.(or Malik for that matter).

My point is the better teams will adjust. Wisconsin took down the mighty Rutgers at Rutgers tonight by 12 and limited baily to 9 points. Teams like wisconson will be a whole different level.

Really? We had a much more easily secured win against Rutger. The final margin was about the same but our lead hovered between 10 and 15 for almost all of the 2nd half; Wisconsin was up 3 with 6:45 left in the game before they pulled away.

Yep, and our fans treated him terribly over the years

He had it pretty brutal on the message boards. Way worse than any coach since from what I remember. There were people who wanted him gone right after making the title game. Standards were still pretty high back then and following knight was no win situation.

Too funny… you just have to laugh. 

At the PSU game, it was about 10 mins to tip off and the guy next to me goes “Where is Woodson? Have you guys seen Mike Woodson? Anybody know where Bigfoot is?” and nobody had… There were about 2 minutes where everyone in our section thought he may have not shown up to Philly and we all just missed the news. Then he came out and people were relieved… sorta. Lol

He did have it hard but he also brought some of it on himself. As others noted he was out of his comfort zone being the head coach of a school like Indiana. He was whiny him screwing up the oden/conley recruitment was one of many blunders that drove a lot of the fan criticism

Fair point.  But they said it was moved to zoom/dial-in before Mike no-showed, so it wasn't even that.  Just some classic Woody at the end of the day.

But we were at home and Harper didn’t play, so bit easier path for us.

We were at home.

Harper tried to play against Wisconsin; he was 0-2 from the floor for zero points in 15 minutes and then shut it down for the night.

Harper “trying” to play probably doomed Rutgers. Harper looked awful and disinterested and probably shouldn’t have played. 
 

But why ruin a good narrative?

Harper looked like he was playing for Mike Woodson and IU

This article says the same thing many of us see from this current lineup of 4 out and 1 in and it is coming from an assistant:

When will MW accept the fact, this is our best lineup.  Bring Reneau off the bench, he’s doesn’t owe him starter minutes and I don’t care if he is our leading scorer, that doesn’t mean anything to me, he probably takes the most shots.

Not sure why you needed to provoke by adding the sarcasm aimed at other posters, but he didn't just look dis-interested; he still looked and played like he was sick.

It's been a good while now and he clearly wants to be out there. Rutger isn't allowed to say, but I wonder if he has mono? A cold/virus wouldn't limit him this much after a week and wouldn't have had him travelling with or sitting next to his teammates this much.

There’s obviously more space,” Walsh said when radio voice Don Fisher asked about Ballo’s improved production over the last two games.
 

Hope that quote doesn’t get Walsh fired……

I wonder how Woodson gets away with skipping out on that show so often.  It’s a pretty significant portion of his outside, marketing, and promotional duties, for which he is paid quite handsomely.  It’s not like he has any other shows or really does a lot of other marketing and promotional stuff for the program.

I hear you 100% but IMO, there's not much to wonder about in terms of how or why he gets away with what he gets away with ...
