Two historic nights for Indiana football, and two losses to two Kentucky basketball teams in the same day. We are officially a football school Yeehaw.

Tough.

Is this the year he finally leads his team to the ncaa tourney?

S****y coach, and limited dumb roster. Suffers from Woodson-like problems.

1 guy isn’t enough but he’d be an excellent piece for a solid roster and coach. But you know that.

Without Coach Cig being a football messiah Scott Dolson would be packing his office up with DDV in a year or two

Just cut all of basketball’s NIL and give it to Cig. No point in paying $10+ million to miss the tournament when you can do that for free. 

[IUHoosier5]

At this point, do you get the freshman PF/C ready to contribute this year? He has to be a body who can rebound in the slightest, right?

It’s so sad that’s such a valid take.

Post game crash outs are becoming more entertaining then the actual games being played 

In fairness why would post game crash outs ever be fun? Especially since every single time it's happened the reason winds up being confirmed valid? Hopefully it's just a few bad games or a bad season and devries can be successful here. But usually it just winds up being a crap show until we can finally get rid of them ugh

Give Bruce Thornton 2 million and Flory Bidunga 2.5 million. And save lots of cash on roster spots 9-13

I really didn’t want to be on the bubble at the beginning of December, knowing we’d stay there at best - but here we are. Tis the season?

Forget the bubble.  We are not going to any post season tournament this year.  The team I saw today and against Minnesota can't physically compete in the Big Ten.

Is that what Kentucky or Kansas would do?

Nope, they’d pony up enough cash to build a respected roster with a chance to win.

Indiana is always trying to do it the hard way. Save some money. Gonna backfire on them this time. Already has in fan enthusiasm.

I'm just talking Devries. Not defending how he's managing the roster, but people act like he had the endless funds and influence of a powerhouse yet still chose this roster. 

No. He was left recruiting for transfers out of the bargain bin because of our current reputation and middle of the road funding from the department/collectives.

That money’s going to dry up fast in the next decade anyway. The existing element of the fanbase who has seen IU be consistently good is aging out, while the rest of are drifting away from caring at all. IU admin took a 20 year job of killing IUBB fandom for an entire state and generation. Levels of ineptitude so high that you have to wonder if it was intentional. To lead IUBB to 2 tournaments in a decade takes considerable negligence

I don't get it. 

An IU football player won the Heisman tonight. 

Our football team is 13-0, B1G champs, No. 1 in the country, is the top seed in the CFP and will play in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. 

Why's everyone getting so worked up about a silly little basketball game? Who cares about basketball! 

[IUHoosier5]

Our best player is an 8/10 at best on an any given night basis. That just won’t cut it here.

Football is going to be over soon. What do we do then. WHAT DO WE DO THEN!!!!

Because we are a basketball school and until football actually wins 1 or 2 we will always be.

It's very concerning how absolutely awful Conorway has been against both Louisville and Kentucky. The only reason he hasn't been unplayable is because our other guard is Enright. 

Also just crazy that the staff thought Bailey was a Big Ten player. He's given us almost nothing this season. 

This roster puts so much pressure on Wilkerson and DeVries. They have to do almost everything.

We follow who Cig brings in to keep IU football at an elite status. IU belongs to Coach Cignetti now. From the Present on down. Get with the program.

I don’t suggest you put too much faith in that this year either. Similar projections albeit, maybe slightly better.

We don’t have a bigten, high level roster. This team would have to catch lightning in a bottle to beat a really good team. I was hoping for 20 wins and will now hope for 16. It’s going to be a long season for any of us that continue to watch this
