I just can’t understand how someone on the staff hasn’t put a stop to his 6’ drift release.  It’s an auto-miss.  He’s never made 1 shot, ever, when drifting violently to his left.  

Woodson’s staff is worthless.

Think I just discovered the problem. 

There's more than one hump ...

I predict embarrassment. I think our guys will fight hard for most of the half only to realize we can’t compete. Curl up, lose by 20-25. All the negative chatter returns. This is what I honestly expect.

This is also why I’m ready to move along but realize we as a program are between a rock and a hard place.

I respectfully disagree.

Cupps is the prototypical 4 year, don't do much for 2 years, Wisconsin type of player that many claim they want in order to build a foundation.

In a perfect world X would have somehow consistently been the X of his 7-8 game run during one solitary season, while  we would have also added quality portal guards that dictated Cupps only playing 5 minutes a game this year.

 He is a freshman, that was not slated to be an instant star, that is a victim of the roster construction.

Obviously were totally outplayed.

But the Big Ten still shows its officiating issues.  In the last 8 games, Zach Edey has shot 101 free throws.  Purdue will run into a game in the tournament where he isn't going to get that kind of treatment.

They will recruit over him.  Expect it.

Looking at our schedule, as I drink more bourbon, I think we could possibly win 6 of our last 7.  Do I think that will happen? NO, but I’ll be watching.

Chuck Norris once thought he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He quickly realized he was standing between two mirrors.

In our defense, I think we thought we were playing volleyball the way we bat the damn thing around

I am comparing him to Smith who was in a similar situation and the difference even last year for smith was night and day to cupps. Now he can probably be decent in a few years but no way he should be ths starting point guard next year

Sparks.  Ware and Reneau both pick up one and Sparks comes in to play Edey and picks up 2 in 10 seconds.

For the record, when the question was asked which IU would player would have two fouls first, I picked Sparks.  And I believe he did and it played out exactly how I said it would.

Hopefully it will be vs another 16 seed...

Starting PG next year? I literally said we shouldn’t expect  much from him his first 2 years.

[RaceToTheTop]

The thing about saying that Cupps was just put into a bad position where he's playing big minutes because X is injured......

1.  X was coming off a major injury so a viable option had to be in place.

2.  Even if X were healthy, IU's roster construction would have entered the season as the primary backup options behind X and Galloway.  That's not good roster construction when you are counting on a freshman not expected to contribute big right away and a sophomore who had a horrible freshman year to be expected to give you decent minutes.  They should have been options for the backup spots, not THE options for the backup spots.

I agree!  He passed up an open 3 point shot in order to take a 2 point shot where he’s off balance and drifts to the left.  He brings nothing on both sides of the ball.  
 

Walker has seemed to have gotten worse as the season has gone on.

Gunn showed a little life, maybe this game can get him going.
