Snozzwangers_und_covfefe Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I still like our ceiling and think we finish the year strong. 3 game skid sucks, sure. But I'm not questioning the coach yet, or the trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Normally teams that have not been descimated by injury after injury as has IU this year, start coming into their own, by this time of year. Coaches have had the opportunity to figure out rotations, etc. Arch has not had that luxury. You all saw tonight that he is still working on it, while other coaches like Miles, have had the luxury to figure it out. Arch has done a great job with guys out. Now... it's time to give him a break, as he tries to figure out how to work the injured back into a viable rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the teams that do well in the tournament can score points. Why can’t our guys get open? I've started a thread to discuss our offensive system and philosophy. I think 2 people responded and it flared off. No one can answer the question because 1.5 seasons in we still can't tell where this is going.

FW_Hoosier Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Totally embarrassing. We’ve seen some defensive improvement since Archie got here, but the offense is so atrocious that I’m starting to wonder whether the coaching change has been a net positive as far as in-game coaching goes. Not sure this offensive system will ever work in the big leagues. Obviously Archie has done a much better job recruiting, but honestly, I think Crean would be winning more with this roster. We’re wasting a generational talent on a bubble team... and like 5fouls alluded to, we’re probably going to be worse next year. That’s hard to swallow. Wonder if Archie called Tim Miles “Daddy” in the handshake line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierWATT Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I am as ticked as anybody. However, it seems like there's a lot of overreacting going on right now. Let this play out over the next few games. One things for sure, with Romeo, I definitely thought we'd be in a better place. Two more games and we'll know where this team is at. My first impression at this point and time is an overall soft team, both physically and mentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to my wife time to ditch the Crean recruits and play the ones Archie brought in. Most of the ones that drive me crazy Archie did not recruit. .......I know, right, ....iuthruandthru? Many of our complaining fans (who are wielding pitchforks and torches) should REALLY take notice of the Crean recruited players vs. Miller recruited players. I feel you will quickly be suprised as to how many "Crean recruited" players, currently on this team, who are the majority of our frustrations.

As it is, we have no quality depth. Hard Hat nailed it- no size, shooting. Hunter would have gave us shooting and size. Fitzner is not the answer so I hope we can see more of Moore to at least get him some experience for next year. Have to agree, this season is completely different without the unprecedented illnesses of Hunter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUDan93 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Archie will figure it out. The one thing that bums me out is the apparent waste of a rare recruit like Romeo. Hopefully we will see more of these level players coming in, but to not have much to show for this season(this is still to be determined) with a "program-changing" recruit stings. Maybe his value will not be what he does on the court, but that he started a trend of top players choosing IU. I am sorry that many of you are so angry and frustrated, and have been for so long. I choose to believe better days are ahead, and that we do have the pieces in place for prolonged success. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Let's get one thing straight. We can make a case that the injuries cost us against Maryland, but they had absolutely zero impact on tonight's game. Tonight was all about a lack of preparation, a lack of effort, and a lack of heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the future is bright if he keeps up this recruiting. But I will say it is on the coach to ensure roster cohesion. I dont buy this excuse.

Shooter Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 That effort at home was terrible, no doubt about it. We need to bounce back quickly and it won't be easy with the games we have coming up. That said - Nebraska is pretty good. They were projected as a 6 seed in the NCAAT before tonight's game, same as us. They are #15 on KenPom. This game was never a gimme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we can hardly expect IU to hang with mighty Nebraska at home when we’re missing the great Al Durham and two freshmen rotation players who have never played a meaningful minute for IU. The injury excuse is total BS at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
