Saw a guy on another board say our NIL is supposed to be 12.5 next year. So we should have plenty to spend. 
 

I’ll start a thread for next years team after the game. Get everyone’s thoughts one what they think needs to happen. 

I’ve said it before but I hate that the NIL budget is potentially going up after what transpired this year. 10M was more than enough to make the tournament and is next year too. 
Whatever.

Top 5 least favorite season for me.  This team is painful.  Par for course.  We’ve had about 4 fun games all year.  Exceeded expectations rarely.  So severely outmanned. I stated my concerns strongly while this roster was being built.  Coaching staff should’ve known better. 

[JF87]

Our defensive conundrum.  We can't pressure their guards because they drive right by us.  If we lag off, they can run their offense without any pressure.

Is he still connected to Indiana Elite? Does that even matter now in the NIL era?

Not sure.  I assume so.

It’s probably a small plus, but not much more than that this day in age.

You did 

[Jeff Flabjohns]

We haven’t made one good cut all game

[str8baller]

Only down 8

[str8baller]

How do you lose Koehler there?

Two of those were Lamar going nuclear. Barely anything fun from a team-wide performance

Marquette was extremely fun, it just turns out Marquette is stinky hot doodoo

[reconmkd]

Wow could we please play some type of offensive play other that a pick and roll into ISO?

[JF87]

I've said this before and I'll say it again.  We are not going to beat any decent team if we get outscored from three.

Whatever. 

I don’t think the goal should be just make the tournament. So I’m happy it’s going up. I want a top 10 team. And I want to see elite basketball again.

Yeah, I would absolutely hate having more NIL.  What a horrible thing

[JF87]

Nothing from Dorn, Miles, and Bailey.  It can't hurt to play Sisley.  

[cbp4iu]

What’s concerning is our defense is getting worse. We are allowing open shots because of lack of hustle and heart

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Another game where we look not just overmatched on the floor but also outcoached. 
Disappointed in everything I’ve seen from DDV this year 

[Dave from Dayton]

Getting into the tournament is absolutely the right thing to do.  Always!  Just do it.

Some of us care about being good stewards of capital. /s

We’re not even reliant on threes because of the action we run. Half of these are desperation at the end of the clock. Damning.
