IUBB vs Maryland - Sunday, 01.26.25 @ Noon on CBS

[DChoosier 8,884]

They showed a graphic in which MD had the 3rd worst winning percentage, in close games, in the NCAA. Willard should send Woody a thank you note.

I'm sure Lappas can eventually say 'Big Guy' right

I'll give him that one.

Help me understand this. With 5.9 seconds left we put a lineup on the floor without our two best shooters. But with 3.8… we get them in. ?? Did we think 5 and some change was enough time to pound the post for a while? What the actual hell was talked about in that huddle that led to that clown show last two plays?

Absolutely not! Clark Kellogg has it trade marked.

We played with effort, made a nice comeback, got the crowd excited, and then had no clue what we were doing at the end.  The talent is there but effort without direction is often wasted.

Best coaching move for coach would not to call timeout (damage control)

[LamarCheeks 19,727]

Rewatched the last inbound play. 

What a cluster fudge. 

Rice and Reneau both ran to the corner. They were 2 feet from each other. The hell was that gonna accomplish? 

And Bako and Goode more or less just stood there. 

Afterward, Goode just shrugged his shoulders. 

Those guys looked as if they had absolutely no idea what to do. Are there not set plays to run from out of bounds under the bucket? We had no timeouts, but shouldn't have needed one. Should have had something to run there ... not just olly, olly oxen free.

I think he meant that is what Woody calls Ballo.

Somebody mentioned we shot 41% on 3s today.  Yeah, that's good hitting 7-17.  BUT, we let MD go 12-24.  +15 point differential we had to make up somewhere.

I thought the same thing, We were driving and had them on their heels and Woody calls TO to draw up nothing and let their D dig in!  STOOPID!

That’s your takeaway? You must practice meditation. 

Trying to keep the overt negativity to the FMW thread. We did, objectively, look better. We would have smashed NW with that effort today.

Second to that is having four bad FT shooters in the game on an obvious foul possession. Get Mbako, Carlyle and goode in on that one possession and we likely win.

 

 He’s the biggest dumbass on the sidelines in my lifetime including Davis.

Let's just fire Woodson now and let a random fan with a Coaching Basketball for Dummies book be the interim, results would be about the same.

[HinnyHoosier 5,072]

After the way the last 2 minutes of that game was (un)managed, I can't fully believe Woodson has 100% of his faculties intact.

[AZ Hoosier 7,923]

Just saw Willard post game interview with Lappas... he said "we're a new group... we have to keep working". Oh, the irony.

[DChoosier 8,884]

Although it’s never down to just one play, and not to deflect from Woodys absolute clown show at the end of the game, but your experienced 5th year 2G just can’t miss the front end of a one and one in crunch time at home. Just a killer.

Woodson says it all the time in the post game presser... I can't remember their names... TJD, Ware, Ballo... they're all "the big guy"
