I'm pretty sure IU/UNLV just set the game of basketball back 5 years...

This team has no shot at a deep run this year. You can't win in the tourney with poor defense and sloppy turnovers. We do both exquisitely well. I'll just leave it at that and be done with IU til next week. Enjoy Thanksgiving all

When the 3 best players have 4 turnovers each and as a consequence spot your opponent 15 quick points-well u know you're in for a long night!

Bahahahahaha UNLV did UNLV things to give us the game.  IU did IU things to politely say "no thanks, we're good."

And at times UNLV looked worse in the halfcourt than we usually do, yet we still managed to lose.

Who goes out for the post-game presser? 

 

When will we learn to guard someone? 

 

Hope the players enjoyed their free vacation on Maui.

I thought your post had been hidden and couldn't figure out why, lol

I'm not sure I know what IU basketball means anymore. "It's IU" - means nothing anymore. I'm slow and hard headed ... I think it just hit me ....

Just awful.  About as bad as it can get to start a season.

 

Wheels are starting to come off.  The team's emotional state is terrible now.

How can you discuss this debacle without bringing up what a disaster of a coach we have?

Personally I have no problem with discussing the coaching in this game. Its the name-calling, the Fire CTC and some posters who are repetitive on the same lines in every thread. Commenting on the poor coaching, lack of preparedness, etc. in that game is a whole different story. There are people who still like CTC as IU's coach (they're getting pretty rare though)  and game threads and post-game threads are for them too. If they go into a Fire CTC thread complaining about the topic they're going to be told that the topic is legit, the title makes it obvious and if they don't like it  don't click on it.

Your font is fine, you're drunk.

The problem is that our supposed leaders are playing like garbage. I appreciate yogi but he had a horrible tournament. Troy is still turning the ball over too much. I'm actually relieved we didn't play Vanderbilt. I think we would've gotten our butts beat bad. Still a long season but they really need to get it together.

I feel awful for the fans that actually traveled to Maui... What an embarrassing showing by our team...

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I just cannot believe my eyes.  We are supposed to be a veteran guard-oriented team and we play like we just joined a pick up game.

 

Major issues to resolve.  One of the low points in IU basketball history as far as I am concerned because we should be playing so much better than this with all the talent we have assembled. 

 

We are the laughing stock of the sports world right now.  Not a place we want our Hoosiers to be.

I know what you mean, but still, they spent the days before Thanksgiving in Hawaii!

[ou812dude 3,326]

don't worry...when we get back to Assembly Hall things will get better...until we hit the road again...then back home good...road bad...grunt,grunt, grunt....

 

hey look at that...normal font...I guess I fat fingered something...

CTC waxing prophetic on Fisch after game interview.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

On a positive note---great job Zeisloft!  At least someone came to play.

 

Maximus and Hartman played hard and had their positive moments too.

 

Everyone else---start swimming for California as far as I am concerned. 

 

And I am going to say it---we need MUCH better leadership and decision making out of Yogi then what we just witnessed.

[JSHoosier 19,851]

Started off unprepared, played no defense for the most part.  There was a stretch where we looked decent enough to win this game, then UNLV adjusted and took us to layup city.
