  1. I want audio of Woody screaming at these guys to block out or it’s never happened
  2. Winning the “Points off Turnovers” battle kept us in it. Hopefully we can clean up the perimeter defense a bit and get some better shots
  3. I agree but it is hard for X to get his shot off unless he’s wide open. He falls in love with driving and leaving his feet at the basket, leading to some WILD layup attempts. Unfortunately it’s a problem we have to live with because after 5.5 years, he aint evolving his game
  4. Gotta block out. Find me a still shot of Galloway actually boxing out and I’ll buy you a drink. Only picking on him because he’s a senior but most on this team are guilty of it. This team and their complete lack of fundamentals is tough to watch
  5. Sparks had zero turnovers, gave up zero points, best +\- on the team…clear choice
  6. Our guards have been the problem all year and we don’t have anyone to replace them on the court with. We got some good post players in the portal but we needed guards
  7. Woody doesn’t know how to coach at this level. He’s a great guy who was a pretty good NBA coach but that style of play doesn’t work with this team and his substitution patterns are puzzling. This team failed miserably in every fundamental category tonight.
  8. Extremely low motor. Can’t dribble, pass or defend. Can’t score in the paint. You can’t just be a shooter and succeed.
  9. Wow, these guys show a ton of respect doubling down a guy who has 2pts on the night. This team has zero understanding of how to play team defense.
  10. He’s arguably the best DB on the from a year ago. Led the team in INTs and was 4th on the team in tackles, (as a sophomore) at a position of need. I mean, ok?
  11. Nice to see Ware wake up from his nap
  12. That 2nd unit gave up a ton of points it seemed. Not s terrible half but definitely need to play better in the next 20
  13. We need guys who can spread the floor. He may be the 3rd-4th best player on the team right now but he’s behind Malik and Ware. Hard to believe a lineup with all three would work
  14. MR didn’t make contact with him. Got a small piece of the ball with it out of his hands
  15. Wellman is quite literally one of the best in the business. If not for being an alumn, IU would never have been able to hire him. Hopefully Ownings brings something unique and innovative to the program but lets not pretend that a guy who has been out of college 5 years is an upgrade.
  16. Yea, he literally offered the top overall 2026 prospect, day one. Cig not recruiting 4/5 star guys was not what he said, and was never a thing. He was simply taking a shot at the recruiting analysts and stating that he knows how to evaluate talent more than they do
  17. It’s a completely different level of talent on the field and competitive environment. The AAA baseball analogy ephaul made is absolutely ridiculous. The literal point of the MLB farm system is to create a developmental system for players who aren’t ready for the big leagues. JMU and Elon are/were very successful “AAA level programs”. Saying you’d take JMU’s team over IU is the same as saying you’d take the Buffalo Bisons roster over the Chicago White Sox. Sure the Bisons could win 1-2 out of 10 if they’re lucky but what’s good enough to win at their level doesn’t scratch the surface at the next. No one is saying Cignetti isn’t a good coach. That said, coming in hot and saying IU will be playing in the conference championship game next season, not honoring scholarship offers (allegedly), saying Michigan and OSU sucks is crazy. Claiming he has a blueprint for success/building programs that he sets himself and pushes down to his staff is arrogant boarding on negligence. The guy simply doesn’t have the resume to back that up. I sincerely hope he’s successful here and with the right attitude, staff and recruiting success he can be. That said, if I had to guess, Harbaugh, Day and Franklin are chuckling at his naivety, not shaking in their boots.
  18. If you think JMU could compete in the BigTen you’re incredibly naive. In 20 years that program has 2 power 5 wins and one of them is this year’s 3-8 Virginia team by a field goal. This is a completely different landscape than Elon and JMU.
  19. Hard to believe all these CTA kids have already been properly evaluated already. Cig is starting to come off as an arrogant blow hard who’s plan is to tear this program down to the ground because nothing and no one can build a program like he can. This isn’t Elon and he didn’t build anything at JMU, he inherited it. I get how some are attracted to his no nonsense, cocky approach but he isn’t Saban and this aint Alabama. Hopefully, I’m reading the situation wrong but losing half the team and recruits while offering a bunch of JMU guys was not the start I was hoping for
  20. Any conference road win is a huge win. The potential is absolutely there for this team. Hopefully things continue to click and we get X back soon
  21. Just bad coaching on Woody’s part. When guys show him they don’t have it on a given night, it’s on him to believe them. Gallaway had no business receiving an inbound when you have Mbako
  22. Cupps get called everytime he breaths on someone yet Malik gets draped over and nothin….also IU ball
  23. Cupps is being thrown to the wolves and Gallaway has himself to blame.
  24. Yikes man. We need X back soooo bad. Our guards and wings not named Cupps absolute nightmare fuel handling the ball.
  25. They can lobby all they want. It’s not going to happen. Alabama would need both Michigan and FSU to lose. If you remove Georgia (not likely, no #1 seed losing in the conference championship has ever dropped out of the playoff) then it will be Texas. Alabama really has no path
