IUBB @ O$U - Saturday, 03.07.26 @ 5:30 on Fox-TV

If you want some hope you have to hope his roster building was a 1 time bad thing and he will build better for next year.   However for this year he constructed a mid major all star team to play against a top 30 overall SOS and with unbalanced schedules in the B1G played the 2nd hardest B1G schedule out of 18 teams (Ohio State played the hardest). Tough sledding for a flawed roster.  B1G is unforgiving.  Purdues preseason number 1 team in the land could finish tied for 6th with UCLA if they win tomorrow and will be seeded 7th after tiebreakers with a ucla win

...Dolson is a one hit wonder!

If that is the case (not saying it is) 

Good thing it's the greatest hit of all time in the most popular sport. Lol

Alan Huss is already the coach in waiting there.

That's right.  I forgot about that.

I still think Devries can be successful at IU. However, I think if McDermott retired, DeVries would be begging Creighton to take him out of the IU pressure cooker. 

Creighton hired Huss to come back as an assistant and coach in waiting for when he retires

We finally get rid of Woody and have a real chance to save our basketball program and this is what we waited 4 years for....Dolson is a one hit wonder!

That one hit was likely the best hit an AD has ever had though considering the historical context of the IU football program. 

[JF87]

Well, at least the team didn't quit.

Who wants to bet that OSU will hit a 3 here

[Hoosierfan2017]

Not having to pay millions of dollars to his rec league level athleticism son will help our portal haul this offseason at least.

We had zero chance of winning this game...as I predicted in the score prediction thread. I haven't watched 1 second. Not worth the frustration. Maybe Ryan Carr will make a difference...maybe not...I'd like to think he will. I actually think CDD can coach...the one major concern I have is how on God's Green Earth did he think Bailey and Alexis were the only Big Men we needed. Those two are back-ups in this league...frankly Bailey, isn't even a player in this league. It seemed we all knew it but CDD. I remember all of us expressing our size concern. I was at the K-State game, court level and am 6'4". Even though we won that game, I knew we were in trouble because It seemed like I was standing eye level with most of our team, which isn't good for Big Ten. 

I’m gonna be honest i count Alexis as a win. He shouldn’t have been our third best player but he’s been way better than i expected. It doesn’t help that he’s playing next tucker who is probably the least athletic PF in the country. Alexis as our 6th or 7th best player would be fine i think

When Enright was getting screened off on that Thornton layup, I wish he woulda just flopped. 

He wasn't gonna make any defensive impact -- why not try to draw a foul?

Just a possession late!

[Unexpectedflash]

For a staff that values shooting we sure have a bunch of non shooters on our team. Idk how we’re small and consistently get outshot during big yen play. Lamar has covered a lot of that

Not anyones job to make you feel good about him.   He will either figure it out or he won’t.  

So in the interim I should just except mediocre and smile and clap my hands and say well tried ?
