Is it just my imagination or do these announcers seem disappointed that Indiana is going to win this game?

I guess Woody didn't bring his defeat cigars

Love seeing Bako at the line

Mac is hopping around in pain and going to the locker room.  Her dad is in tears.

Might as well shut down the Fire Woodson thread....."Mike Woodson isn't going anywhere fellas!"

That's another year added to the contract.

Kidding aside, doubt this game says anything about Woodson’s job.

Bring on the barn animals.

I would have lost one bet today.

When X caught  the elbow to the throat, and the ref’s decided to not call a flagrant, I would have bet $1,000,000 that X would retaliate with some sort of stupid chippy foul. He surprisingly kept his cool.

But with X healthy all year this is, what, a 7-10 seed?

Maaaayybe. Remember that efficiency stats-wise we really over performed in the W dept. X could’ve played and we could’ve had better efficiency stats but actually *more* losses. Who really knows. It also depends on what version of X you would get. Todays version seemed to help. Flagrant foul version  likely doesn’t.   
 

We are what we are.

Another win due to the return of Xavier Johnson, lol

Also, Woodson has also left the ball In Galloway’s hands, and I think he’s a better facilitator and decision maker than X is

Maryland was plain awful in the 2nd half but give the guys credit for winning.

Nope, 2 wins in a row adds 2 years

I agree. Even though the “W” sent more than a few fans down a drain of depression I enjoyed the second half and am glad the guys fought so hard to come back and get the win. 

We have even bigger issues with our administration than we think if a single road win changes the overall direction they want to go with the program. I would hope that a single game doesn’t change the direction they were heading wether that direction was to fire Woody or keep him.

I tend to agree, for sure. Think he would’ve positively swung the Kansas game; maybe a fully healthy X is in a somewhat better headspace through the year and has his share of peccadillos but they’re outweighed by positive contributions.

The is very true, the problems are still there

It won't. All the one games over the entire season will.

That second half was by far the best we have played all year. It was good to see us actually shoot with some confidence and make shots at all levels. It shows if these guys play hard they have talent to compete. Yes Maryland isn't very good but to hit 13 shots in a row is good.

Just to show you had bad the big ten is that we are only two games back of 4th place. NW is 10-8 and and is in 4th. Almost impossible but a slim chance of us finishing 4th with a double bye.
