  1. Gotta give a lot of credit to the team for righting the ship and winning two big games.  Have to say I didn’t expect them to turn it around given the last six seasons of basketball we’ve watched.  That’s good coaching by Woodson.

    On the other hand, who gave Underwood the bright idea not to double or even help on TJD at all?

  2. The only correct answer here is James Blackmon in 2016-2017 (43.2%, 3.0/7.2 threes per game).  Since then, we’ve only had two players shoot 40%+ from three on legitimate volume — Devonte Green in 2018-2019 (41.0%, 1.7/4.2 threes per game) and Armaan Franklin in 2020-2021 (42.4%, 1.6/3.9 threes per game).  Blackmon’s the last player we’ve seen average 2+ threes per game.

  3. Please, PLEASE get rid Kopp, Stewart, and Phinisee.  If those guys are getting 20-25 minutes a game next season, we’re a .500 bubble team again, at best.

    Have to get improvement from Bates and Galloway, more consistency from X, and another guard or two out of the portal to go along with JHS.

  4. Well, that sucked, but I didn’t expect them to be playing today anyway.

    Woodson did what he needed to do this season to position the program well going forward.  He’s gotta get Kopp, Stewart, and Phinisee the hell off the team and get some guards who can actually play.  And the boosters need to scrape some cash together and convince TJD to stay.

  5. The travel fiasco orchestrated by the NCAA is such bullshit… They completely screwed us over by shipping us out to Dayton just so they could have the most watched First Four game ever (duh).  It’ll be pretty impressive if we manage to overcome that and win this game.  
     

    That being said, if we could get 12 points combined out of Kopp and Miller, we could win this game going away… Gotta have somebody drop some threes tomorrow.

  6. This thread should be more than six pages. Huge win!  Most of the team outside of TJD and Geronimo was off and we still won a tournament game that we controlled from beginning to end.  
     

    The defense is phenomenal… Best team defense I can remember seeing in the cream and crimson.  And TJD stepping up and putting the team on his back in March is beautiful to see.

    The guy has only been the coach for like 3 months and in those 3 months has done many, many good things.

    We should be ripping him already?

    Not ripping him at all, or saying he should be.

    It’s just funny to me, as arguments over non-conference strength of schedule are an annual off-season tradition here on HSN.  And even though this year’s non-con schedule (as currently constructed) appears to be weaker than it’s been in a while, no one seems to be very concerned. I’m all for it — let’s keep riding the Mike Woodson feel good vibes for as long as we can.

    Definitely our toughest challenge. Would like to see a couple more Power 5 opponents, especially since we drew a bad opponent for the Gavit Games and ND is probably not going to be good next year. 

    You can tell Mike Woodson is still in the honeymoon phase by the lack of hand wringing on the board about how weak the non-conference schedule is, lol.

    Bob Knight must have just read this article, and I can hear him alternately swearing and laughing from here.

    20 years ago, it took a leaked video of the coach choking out a player to take him down.  Now all it’s going to take is leaked audio of seniors sobbing during a group therapy session.  Would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.

    playing against grown men pro's. We might not want to see it. lol

    Yep, this certainly won’t be a cakewalk like some of these foreign trips are.  Pretty impressive list of players they’ve had drafted to the NBA recently — 11 players over the past 7 drafts, headlined by Nikola Jokic.  And the Pacers fans here will be familiar with Goga Bitadze.

    And someone mentioned it earlier, but it’s also interesting that Scoochie Smith (former Dayton PG who played for Archie) is the one American on the team.  Another Indiana connection — looks like he came over from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

    I like Eric on hoosier hysterics but putting him on the Board is a clown show IMO.  We already have an unqualified Board as it is.  We don’t need to weaken it further.  

    “Kelley was way too hard and SPEA seemed like a total cop out” was... not the best way to start off a pitch to the voters.
