Someone responded to that tweet and said that’s not Atlantis, but Vegas 2 years ago. 

So who knows…

Bottom line is regardless of the reason, they weren't ready to play.  And I could not have imagined Galloway and Carlyle being as bad as they've been this year.

The problem is that who in the hell do you play even if you weren't playing them?   I am in agreement with LCS that Leal does need more run than he gets but he's not a guy who is going to add much offensively from the perimeter (not because he can't shoot, but that he doesn't get shots).  I like Tucker, but not sure he's a 2 and his game is mid range, not perimeter.  Cupps isn't going to help out much at this point in time.  Rice was bad today but he's looked okay prior to this.

Blame @mamasa I had to see it so all of you did too. 

Well, then, I have a bone to pick with her

Be careful what you wish for. I heard if he say three times like Beetlejuice he will appear.

No, but you will probably watch us get beat by 20 by West Virginia. So…

More whiskey

Don't know the validity to any of this but several are posting messages coming out of the Bahamas that several of the team were out late in the casinos last night. 

They all got money to burn time to party

I would be too...

I've been one to give Woody the benefit of the doubt, until now. I don't know what the ramifications would be, but I say fire him now. Let one of the assistnts take over. It can't be any worse and I guarantee it would be better than this.

Same.  Fire him or announce that he will not be retained so the fans can know.  It will get ugly unless we know a change is coming.

Disagree wholeheartedly. Watching the catastrophe that is IU basketball the last twenty years, I know exactly what would happen. One of his doofus assistants would probably ride the talent just enough to be a mildly feel good story. Indiana fans and the administration, being the mildly milquetoast marks that we are, would push for him to get the job. Woody and Quinn probably would too to save face. And then we’d be stuck with another mediocre coach and 5 years of bad basketball.  
 

 

Make Woody earn his money and coach out the year. He should face the shame of his failures.

Malik was noticeably frustrated...Goode was chewing the team out (trying to light a fire) in a huddle and coaches were standing letting it happen. 

Watched back parts of the game, and what stood out to me most was off turnovers there was no urgency to get back, match up, hustle. This was top to bottom...

Year in, year out...no fire, no grit, no dogs. I was telling a buddy yesterday, Louisville has a hard nosed, high energy coach and to expect his team to mirror that. We were flat, they played their butts off...the rest is history. 

[Hoosier Guy 8,333]

Disheartening beyond belief.  There’s only so long we can wait for this program to be good again.  The fans care so much about this program and it’s not reciprocated.  It’s just a travesty.

Agree. This was one of the more important games of the year because it would allow us to play some strong teams if we won. That would balance the schedule. Whether they were out too late or just bad, they got run by a first year coach who scrambled to fill a roster. 
If there is a silver lining it is that a lot of the big money donors are there. Wearing the colors proudly eager to watch the team their $ brought in light it up.  
Would love to be in a room with those boosters

We care more than they do.
Im done tuning in, there are better ways for me to spend my time. 
 

All this garbage play keeps growing the legend of TJD. What a player.

What boosters were there?
 

Announcers did say Dolson was in attendance, as expected. I trust he’s got his sights on making a change by end of year

Wouldn’t happen after Tom Allen.

Darian Devries is doing everything he can to send an angry Gonzaga toward our side of the bracket tomorrow. :(

If their intent today was to get me out of being a life long Hoosier fan of 61 years they have damn near succeeded. Count me uber DESPONDENT!!

You have way more confidence in one anomaly in the face of a lifetime of results pointing otherwise than I do.
