But it's what's wrong with the iu culture now days imo. They have done ****. As of now it is below the standards. Win the big tournament and then make a sweet 16 and talk a bit. Not after 4 games when they don't mean nothing yet

In a perfect world? Yes.

But life is messy and he was pissed (so were those seniors) and they vented a little.

So cool beans and no biggie!

Omg! We have fallen so far that winng a few game and missing the ncaa tournament is reason to talk crap and dump on the fans. It's official this program is dead. So far from where we need to be!

So…. You don’t think there might just be a teensy-weensy tiny little element with just a few people that they are a teeny bit mad they’ve been wrong about loudly saying this team would tank?

Maybe not you—you’re generally a positive poster, but maybe that element is part of it with some?

Fair enough. I guess I like to leave out the obvious outliers when speaking in generalities. I think most people just want the bandaid ripped off because it's clear he's not getting us to where we want to be.

Whatever. I'm not rooting for us to lose. I'm just not tuning in and rooting FOR us. 

And the team and coach essentially telling me I'm not a true fan may make it pretty difficult for me to fully embrace them again.

I enjoyed being at the game, but there’s a real division in the fan base because of Mike Woodson. If they don’t strike transfer portal gold…oh boy. It’s gonna get UGLY.

Ao cool beans and no biggie!

I can buy that premise 100% 

At the same time given this year's performance and these sorts of comments, safe to say unless the portal is absolutely amazing, excitement for next year will be very muted. Next year's team will really have to earn back the excitement of a lot of fans who feel alienated by comments, low effort, and too little too late as the peak product this year. Hope these competitors are up for the challenge. Tough to say for sure because we are going to have basically another brand new team next year. We heard a lot about that this year too.

They should be mad at themselves! It is no biggie unfortunately they made it one! I only like it if they back it up next season. Something tells me gallo and leal aren't larry bird michael jordan type

I didn’t have Stuhoo going straight NGW on my bingo card tonight but it’s all roses in IUBB land. We didn’t lose too Penn State, Nebraska and Northwestern all I. The same season multiple times.

10-10 in a god awful big ten deserves an extension, you know that!!! All is terrific now.

So that’s the expectation. Woodson recruits bad so we’re picked to finish bad and meets those expectations. Great at least you own it.

Breaking! Mediocre team meets mediocre predictions! Fans not satisfied! More at 10.

Yes! Thanks. I was scared to call that out but you can. Very interesting

Fair enough, but we’ve gone .500 or better three times in the last eight years. All three are from Mike Woodson. I don’t think he was beating his chest. I think he was saying exactly what Leal said. Chill out. It’s not where any of us want to be but we’ve now gone .500 or better for three seasons in a row for the first time dating back to….

2005-2008. Seriously.

I am choosing to view this as him being fiery and not giving up. Much rather that than have him tuck tail like a whipped dog when there is still basketball left to play this year.

Not that it matters that much, but Woodson went 9-11 in the league his first season. He's 31-29 in the Big Ten through three years.

You would think he won the National Championship 

If we hang a banner for it, maybe he’ll retire.

You may be mistaking what I’m saying.

Not that the season is a success or that Woody is the answer.

But that a coach who’s been left for dead, then wins four in a row, and then is kinda salty about it is ….

normal.

Oooh good catch, that is my mistake. My rose colored glasses are getting too fogged lol. But still my point stands, I’m sure it is frustrating to hear people calling for your head loudly and telling you what a terrible job you’re doing so I don’t bristle at all when he says calm down we’re not dead yet.

Dolson if I had to venture a guess.

 

That’s more along the lines of what I’m thinking — media, probably (IU press has been pretty direct) and those who who hold the cards.

31-29 in three seasons while getting blown out by St Mary’s and Miami in back to back seasons. Don’t forget about having zero recruits in the 2024 class. That’s called doing your job people. Some of you are very lucky to witness Mike Woodson put on a stellar job.

That actually is mediocre, oh I get it now!  Mediocre Mike, at least he’s living up to his name!  ;)

Dont worry.  Everyone will be on the same page after next season
