Honestly...doesn't matter if we make it or not. Best case we're in the play in game...Woodson probably still thinks it's a successful season LOL. 

didn't win 20 games this year, even with all of the cupcakes... "did my job" my @$$

I'm kind of at the point where I'm just looking forward to this season ending. In prior years...I might have been checking "bracketology" or "bubble watch" several times a day...this year, I really could care less.

I mean, best case scenario is we're in the First Four again! Way to go Woody!!!

Dear Lord, Coach of all Coaches, our prayer is to not let us get in to any post season play so we don’t have to suffer through poor coaching and poor play again in 2025.

Thank GOD for answered prayers!

Amen.

Good losses. Are we in the SEC now where losses are as good as wins?

I suspect we'll see many new faces next year.

[Alford Bailey 13,009]

Garbage across the board. Will we ever have a group of seniors that want to play well in the BTT

I didn’t realize Malik was a bracketologist. 
 

I like the hump reference. Like some teams have an ax “to keep chopping wood” or a bell they ring after a good practice, I would like to think Woody has a hump they walk over in the locker room to visualize success.

Not a single player I’d bring back if I were the next coach. A bunch of lazy, entitled, soft, embarrassments. And keep in mind, they aren’t “amateur college kids” anymore, they are full blown paid athletes. The criticism is more than well deserved. Not a single player on that roster should be proud of their IU tenure. Hopefully they are all gone for good and their names are never spoken again. Good riddance.

There we go riding that proverbial "hump!"

There is a TON to complain about this year but what was MR supposed to say when asked about the tourney?
Would it have been better if he replied….We suck, I don’t want to play anymore, I’d rather be in the Crown so I can go to Vegas, I’m tired, I got paid and I am done??

I don’t think we deserve to be in the tourney but am glad he lobbied for it.

Yes because that would be honest and hilarious! He would have e been better off leaving out the hump and good losses imo

No one (or maybe next to no one) would have found it hilarious if he said “I got my cash and I’m done”. 
 

And literally everyone that talks about tourney bubble teams talks about the quality of wins and losses.

If we miss the tourney Mike can say “I opted out and let another team in so this program can move forward.”

It was mostly a joke by me i know he would never do it. What isn't funny is how much these clowns underperformed all season. Emberassed really. Woodson didn't retire to soon it wasn't soon enough!

Not 100% this is correct but I’ve read that, due to the tv deal with Fox, we are contractually obligated to play in the Crown if invited.

 

Just send the walk ons.  and maybe a few dudes from The Hyper

In the new coach thread I suggested sending the intramural champions.

I’d bet the 8-10 guys on the team would be very happy to get a free trip to Vegas.

Being so invested in a team that has been to one Elite 8, in 30 years, has made me a bit grumpy….:)

IU Ladies 19 wins and IU men 19 wins.

 IU Ladies will be in March Madness.

 Will IU men demand equal rights?
