They were showing it in indy. You can hear Grant Hill talk about it and the crowd after the fact. And, yes, thr last three minutes I had to listen to it on the radio - I listen to professionals communicating; and, our guys are as objective as they come. ES and Don Fischer are the best at communicating controversial calls. Let me also say, I was kind of watching a grainy video while picking up my kid, of course parked

Kopp caught fire towards the end. Stewart needs his confidence back. Maybe a restart with the tourney or as X said....back to the lab.

I am looking for a replay, was listening to radio. They were saying after replays, very light contact, maybe a foot in the restricted area, and it was a foul on Iowa or play on. They are usually spot on with looking at replays and talking about the play. I did watch on the tube, the foul on Race on the screen - one of the worst calls I have seen. And, of course the ball going off of Iowas hands out of bounds and two refs wouldnt reverse the call.

A true off-season with this staff could be awesome. XJ is one of the most improved players during season in a long, long time. Regardless, TJD or a replacement if he goes is priority #1. Being a rim blocker/defender is cruicial for this D with applying pressure.

Ball can only be scored as a bucket if you have a possession. Refs took three key ones away that second half. A key bucket at the end was waved off which shouldn't.

To me these were the problems were: 1) Outbounds call that went wrong way 2)Foul on Race when he was pushed over on the sceen 3) The charge called on TJD with very little contact and the other player having a foot by or in the jail. Stinks, these were horrible calls and gave, took points.

The charge called on jackson-davis was the worst call all season.

Can they review with the timeout? I have no idea what the rules are as they change game to game with refs this year.

Love it. Woodson: we knew they were going to start making shots. NOW we got start making shots. Hopefully the 2 FT get Kopp going. PS only need one to drop. BATES!!!! huge. TJD keep playing like an All-America. To do that with X on the bench. This team can go at it the next 20.

It is such a joke of a rumor

So many more and, and, that could edited. It's amazing how things like this spread. What's even more amazing, the fake rumors say it is coming from Fife. That would be a career killer with the reputation of leaking locker room info. Fife wouldn't do that, you would assume, period.

KL has the ability. Pregame warmups he is the quickest player on the floor. We know he can see the floor in a way most college players can't. The question has always been defense. Never watched him play HS, it seems as if he grew up in a zone like defense? On-the ball defense is not an instinct to match if the ball was in his hands.

I don't know if this means anything, but wasn't Race a reclassified recruit? Didn't play his senior year of high school? Only say that because technically, next year would of always been his Senior year if he didn't forgo senior year of HS. Now, I could be wrong on the whole reclassification and my little tidbit. Or, even if it is a tidbit .....

Was this the kid AJ Moye trained?

I beleive that and would like to see it. At the beginning of the year the talk from coaches it was a one year thing. Maybe that changed?

Someone needs to put together clips of calls and make it go viral.

My last add to the conversation before I have to go. I don't care what your past is, confidence and mental is under the iceberg and the majority of reasoning for play. You don't have to be soft to not be confident. Rob is tough as nails, the way he fights on defense, especially undersized, I want him on my team. There is no giveup in him. I would hire him in a heart beat. Shooting is a different game, its like hitting in baseball. Sometimes the best who are overthinking it have struggles.

Correct, it's hard to break a habit or a mindset that has been instilled. I do beleive once you are coached not to do something it's hard to do something with confidence. From day one Woodson has given the green light- players can't just go. It takes time and confidence especially when struggling. Like Trayce, the kid is allowed to shoot, he can make it in practice, but games he doesn't feel comfortable. Same with Zeller. Two terrific players!

Talking about the topic. A friend just forwarded me a podcast Archie did with Goodman before the season. It was a really good listen. Archie did say that he doesn't know what Kopp would bring to this team. Archie also acknowledged there is a talent gap to be upper big ten. You have to find it and listen. I would consider Archie an expert with the B1G and current IU roster. It was objective and reflective. Todays game, is why Kopp was recruited. Shoot that 3. With that said, I appreciate Kopp bringing some fun back to the team. The kid has such a bright future and he is a leader.

Not at all saying this is the reason. Last Archie was quoted in numerous of interviews that they don't need offense from him, just defense. He didn't want him looking for his shot. This was a quote across the season.

I agrre with you. This staff is special, they are respected for what they do and Woodson has been hired as a defensive coordinator, is was an offensive innovator, and he has experience in the big apple. The dude won't fold, he is going to get us back. There is a clear awareness, my guess, for what we need. Got to bet they have some tricks up their sleeves. No coach, no coach wins without talent. Talent isn't always the stars. Sometimes talent fits your system, your look, your environment.

I don't know about that. D's sag, however they still closeout. They leave TJD open; however he doesn't add to this stat since he doesn't shoot. They need the players. They lead the nation in open 3's and also probably missed 2 footers down the stretch. Free throws are practiced everyday. Need the players, need the players.

Very interesting:

Don't know how to answer this, except every recruit is a future All American in IU fans ideas, including me. The truth is, this roster has one maybe two kids that were top recruits over a few years span. I'm not talking about the last move up 50 spot ranking rivials does after kids decide where they are going.

Coach has said time after time he is going with experience. This I don't get, and might explain lack of time for some of the soph/frosh. At somepoint you have to think of next year. The kids getting the final minutes are experienced and have NEVER won at the NCAA level. Not at IU, Pit, NW, and other places. Go with the future, those are the kids that will save this program. And, recruit the heck out of JUCO and uncommitted kids at this point. Strategy might be to wait for coaching changes and portal - but, why wait?
