[TadQueasy]

I was thinking a couple days ago the one thing we were missing around here and that would help my Queasy feeling about this whole situation was an appearance by Kaulie!  Welcome back

Coach Woodson regarding outside noise towards himself and team after Ohio State win:  Again it just shows the character of this team.  I don’t even want to comment about the outside noise.  It’s ridiculous.

Only MW would think it’s ridiculous!  We all know the outside noise is justified!

None of them would be considered. Just not happening. That’s sourced information. Dolson has zero interest in an OSU situation 

If every internet rumor was true we would be undefeated for decades.

I don't trust the morons in charge.  I'm glad you do.

Ok guys…

Last nights game changed EVERYTHING.

That’s my unpopular opinion.  He’s still gone at the END of the season.  If we had got blown out last night, and blown out at Northwestern then that would have been it.  I mean he is not walking into SSAH after that.  I mean besides, who doesn’t like to get blown anyways right?

That win saved him for the time being.  Look at how HARD the team played.  The coaches were coaching hard too.  Woodson’s reaction after the game said it all.  He knew it.  They all knew it.

I think that there is a real chance this team goes 11-9 in conference and wins a game in the conf tourney.  That gets them in March Madness and Woodson can say he got us back or whatever he wants to say and goes out on good terms.

Now the only way that happens is if Mgbako sits.  I have said since the first time I saw him play he can’t play at this level.  I argued Banks should have started over him but this staff couldn’t unlock Banks.  He doesn’t have the athleticism or motor to play at this level.  Leal should have been playing a lot more minutes his whole career here.  He won Woodson two games last year after all.  Btw when are teams going to learn you can’t iso Leal late in games?  Goode is not going to score like that every game but he will score enough.  MR will be back.  Mgbako should not be starting, and should be around 10 minutes per game.  He shouldn’t be in late game situations.  Idk if Woodson sees it but I hope he has seen enough to cut down his minutes.

We are NOT what our record says we are.  We are not good, but there is a path to get 10 or 11 wins and a possible March Madness invitation.  Last night’s game did change some things.  Having said all that, I really hope that I’m wrong.

Mbagko sucks overall. He's a decent shooter but that's it. He's stiff as a board, slow and has the bball IQ of a chalupa.

Mind blowing he was a five star. Sometimes I think some of us would be better at rating players and get paid to do it . I've seen alot more bbal knowledge on this board than many so called recruiting sites claim to have

I am on board for a change in the entire coaching staff. We can and will do better. This is not the administration who has made the last few coaching decisions. See Coach Cignetti. However, I am not going to use demeaning or derogatory names in reference to our coaches. Whatever we think about CMW's coaching abilities, he is still a hall of fame player for IU. I understand that it's two different conversations. Hopefully when the change is made we can once again recognize what a great player he was for this university.

Not me.  His behavior during his coaching tenure far exceeds whatever he did as a player long before I was alive.  Same with Buckner.  They're villains in my IU fandom story.  I have no other memories of them.

Pre nil Woodson would have already been toast. But when you got guys like quinn and Ferguson with huge influence over boosters it changes the dynamic. Sure dolson can make a move but without money backing him he is limited. The boosters can simply dig in and say Woodson
is our guy and what can he do really. It really is the happy scenario from blue chips

10 or 11 wins isn't getting Indiana into anything but the NIT. Gotta win 12+. Probably 13+.

11-9 puts Indiana at 20 wins and likely with 5 or 6 quad 1 wins.  11-9 will put them in given the remains schedule

Is kent sterling the most manic person in history. I haven't followed him in years til last week. He went from Woodson has to be fired to this was the greatest win in history. This is comical stuff. Total comedy. So I wonder did the word go out from quinn and crew to tell him to shut up. I think it most 100% did.

Jal, some questioned whether Woodson would survive as head coach after a series of losses. However, in March 2024, it was announced that Woodson would be returning for the 2024-25 season. 

Yep still alive and cooking.thanks to quinn.. chill and run it back.

I don't think they're dumb enough to hire one of these assistants as a full time coach. Do I have any faith they wouldn't completely botch a regular search? No, not after the last 25 years of buffoonery.

That's sad but I fully understand how you feel and that's how many will react in the future who never saw either one play in an Indiana University uniform.   They're not leaving a very good legacy behind them.

While I wouldn't go so far as saying villains, I think they've shown that whatever love they have for the program is secondary to their personal interests.

When it comes to being coach, I don't give a crap about Woodson's legacy as a player; he deserves to be fired not a save face retirement. He should've been fired last year but IU loves to give crappy coaches too long because they care about optics to the detriment of the program.

Not convinced with the 7 25pt losses we have. Or whatever
