Exactly. A smart player isn't going to say STFU directly to the opponent, that's how you get T'd up. It's just as likely he was saying it to someone on Minny, but was smart enough to not say it directly at him. Either way, it's completely a non-issue.

The worst are those that judge a coach based on one game. Saying Pearl would not be a good hire because of one game is ludicrous. Much like calling for Archie’s firing immediately after the ISU loss or anointing him the next elite coach after we beat Iowa or Minnesota. You must not see how you come off to people. Enjoy the victory, instead you've already decided it won't matter lol. Worst type of fan, seriously makes me not enjoy being a hoosier. Find a hobby, this isn't for you.

Fans like that would rather be proven right than actually be happy and enjoy a win. Nobody is saying this win has turned everything around but why not enjoy the process instead of worrying about the destination. He doesn't like Archie and thinks he should be fired and wants him gone so he wants to show people he was right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is making a big deal out of it likely never played competitive sports. Stuff like this happens all the time in the heat of the moment, and rarely if ever means anything or lingers past the moment. This. I would add this thought: If talking $#!+ to your teammates helped them bring an edge to fight harder, then I hope Justin (or anyone) tells them all to STFU, GFY, and even FYATHYRIO. We battled last night better than in any game I can remember the last 2 years. Let these guys play off one another however they must, in order to stop rolling over when we get punched in the mouth. STFU indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just beat an NIT bound Minnesota team with by far the worst coach in the league. I wouldn’t toot your horn just yet. If we lose Sunday it won’t mean much. Not tooting anything counselor...just throwing a little cold water on your man-crush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU staff scouted him well. Most of the time he was backing down TJD, a guard would step in and swipe at the ball. It was very disruptive and you could see Oturu was thinking about it even when it wasn't happening. He's an excellent player. What you saw was even better preparation to defend him.

Much like calling for Archie’s firing immediately after the ISU loss or anointing him the next elite coach after we beat Iowa or Minnesota. Agree that too many people make too much out of single wins and losses (I'll include you there, counselor). I've adopted an end of the season look-back without judging too much in the interim. One thing I can say for certain is that this year's team will not have a 12/13 losing streak, despite having a wicked conference schedule. Pearl is a good coach with a few questionable ethics issues in the past. Other coached have done worse and gotten by with it, but I'd still satisfied to let this coach roll through four full recruiting cycles (next year would be his 3rd Archie class) before deciding if he can coach or not. I think he can...and I believe it will become more and more evident as time passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played with intensity and shut down big bad Oturu. Props to Jerome! I'll take the Smith block on a breakaway, then contested the put back.

You aren't on the same level at all, I feel the exact same way. It just gets to a point where people start representing our fanbase so poorly that it's bad for the business of iu bball. If my son was looking at schools to play for, I'd hope he'd find a place with more positivity than negativity, and I would check forums like this to form an opinion. This was a great win, and proved there are young guys on this team that could change the current culture. Does that mean everything is fixed now? Absolutely not, but it could be a big step in the right direction. Saying this win "won't matter after sunday" is the worst possible outlook, and I guarantee sets himself up to root against iu, just to be right. We don't need that here. Just quit watching if you are that miserable, and quit spreading your misery, it's an evil way to live. And if anyone wants to reply with the "every fanbase is like this" comment, I'd say, let's hold each other to a higher standard. It's good to be knowledgeable, but better to be reasonable and supportive to our coach and players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUwins0708 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Regarding Smith saying STFU to Davis. Jarrod Odle tweeted that he told Fife to F off 4-5 times a game and they are still friends. Fife responded and said it’s true. That should squash this crap coming from 2 former players.

You wanna know why Izzo is so bitter to lose to IU? It’s simple, it makes it 100X harder to recruit the state of INDIANA when you keep losing to INDIANA!!! Factor in CAM is adamant about keeping the talent in the state, IZZO knows his time is done stealing great Indiana talent! He liked Tom Crean because Crean didn’t care about the instate talent and made it easier to steal. Sad thing is Tom Crean didn’t see his best friends intentions but thank GOD CAM does!!! IZZO about to be washed up!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
