  1. Has anyone watched the sweet 16 and realized how far away we are? We aren’t even close. We had Gabe Cupps as our starting guard. He wouldn’t crack the rotation on any of those teams. Our backcourt talent needs a massive upgrade. From a coaching style it’s basically all  4 out 1 in around a skilled BIG. Houston and Texas A&M at one point had all Guards/wings on the floor. Zero bigs. We play 2 guards and 3 forwards. The whole thing needs a complete 180. Pearl would have us competitive on a national stage in 2 years. This program is a disaster at the moment.

    Things are trending toward Mgbako being back. Newton isn’t likely to go anywhere unless he’s done playing because of his injury. Cupps isn’t going anywhere unless he gets pushed out.

    Thanks. I think both party would benefit with Mgbako returning so that’s good to hear. Also good to hear about Newton, looking forward to him being healthy next year and contributing. I know there were rumors about Cupps over on BTB so I wasn’t sure what’s happening there.

    Don’t think Cupps is going anywhere. Not sure there would be a lot of high majors with interest.

    I’m in the camp that Woodson should be gone, not because of this years record, but because of the terrible trajectory of the program. 
     

    The question I have for those of you who are in contact with lots of IU fans on a daily basis (I am not): How does the non-message board crowd generally feel about the situation?  My feeling is a change is a no brainer but am I just in a message board echo chamber?
     

     

    I talk to lots of fans. I honestly don’t know one that wants him back. Everyone sees the writing on the wall. Woody might have a couple decent teams but the style of play is not going to get IU a BIG championship or even close to a final four. Then he says we aren’t “true fans”. Man that pissed off a lot of people. The bandaid really needs ripped off.

    Auburn plays for an SEC championship today, has already been to a final four, plays a tremendous style of ball, and the coach loves IU but we are stuck with Woody. It’s the lowest point I’ve ever been at as an IU fan. Honestly the last 6 games I didn’t watch a full game. I could only watch bits and pieces before having to turn it off or other things interested me more. Very sad considering I used to plan my nights around IU basketball…

    Mike sure seems like he's becoming unhinged.  Very insecure and egotistical.  This just isn't going to end well.  I'm gonna guess he goes down as possibly the most hated IU basketball coach ever.  The next 12 months will not be boring.

    Absolutely pathetic!! I could list 10+ things that have been ran poorly by him in the last year. But we aren’t “true” fans. Mike you know how much time and money I’ve given to this program?! Go screw yourself!

    But it’s the “fans” give me a break! That’s so lame and soft! How about give us a good product! Basically blaming a customer for not liking a terrible product haha what a joke! Get serious IU. The only reason we aren’t Minnesota at the moment is because of the fans and how passionate the fan base is. I think the media just says that to get a reaction and more clicks because it will trigger our huge base and they know that.

    Andershock on Peegs said that McNeeley has had concerns for months about IU and he finally decided to decommit today. 

    Who blames him?? Why in the heck would a “shooter” want to stand around in this system that is bottom in the nation in 3 point attempts?? I mean hello!! Saw this one coming. Good luck getting any good guards playing your “2 big pound it in the post and stand around” offense
