Brass Cannon Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 It’s year 4. His lack of upperclassmen is his fault not Creans. The excuses were pathetic in year 2 and they are even more pathetic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People was hoping his minutes get reduced to about 10 minutes a game and I don't think we would be in the top of the league with him. Funny how now he is not playing he is the savior of this team. The reason we are not winning is Archie's lack of recruiting top guards and that is on him. No one said he was "the savior of the team." I said he crippled our front court depth. Do you agree of not?

I'm not ready to guarantee we'll make it, but we're a lot closer to making it than missing it. Idk... We definitely still have a shot, but I’d say it’s now more likely than not that we’re going to miss it. Going to have to finish 2-2 over this last stretch to have a chance, and then we’d likely have another play-in game in the BTT to be locks to make it in. Hard to feel very confident that we’re going to win two games @Rutgers, vs. Michigan, @MSU, @Purdue at this point. And even if we did, then we’re going to have win another game in the BTT where we’ll likely be underdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I know I am frustrated and being a blowhard today but I am tired being et down by this team. Every time you think they have turned a corner then they fall flat on their face. Like after the last 10+ minutes against Minnesota I thought they turned a little corner with their offensive execution and hoped it would lead the next game. Even though we started 19-6 we still did not execute the offense real well and then starting taking to many 3's. I just don't understand why coaches are so stubborn and willing to make changes to the way they coach, I see it in football where a DC has a certain way of playing defense and will not change even if they are getting torched. There is no better example of coaches actually making changes and that is Bob Huggins. The last few years he was a full court pressing team and scored a lot off of turnovers. After Carter left and few others he realized his team couldn't play the same way. Now they play half court defense and has an up-tempo offense that scores in the 80's regularly.

Exactly because today Brunk couldn't made a difference because TJD and Race combined for around 50 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most ridiculous thing to me is he was a point guard in college yet hasn't produced reliable guard play. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you more if TJD and race was not playing as well. Those guys can play 30+ minutes a game so there is not that many minutes for Brunk. Also when he is playing well Hunter being the stretch 4 is pretty good replacement. If Brunk was a point guard or a good shooter I would totally agree with you. So maybe instead of 12-10 we might be 13-9 with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 All I have to say if Archie wants to be the long term coach he will have to swallow some pride and make changes to how he coaches. He has to change how the pace he plays and try to go back and recruit the type of kids he recruited at Dayton. Not saying talent level but the hard nose bull dog type of players he had. His really good teams had a bull dog at PG and they were usually around 6'3 and built strong. Maybe the higher ranked recruits don't have those qualities but we need to get the ones that are.

dgambill Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Could be said that the grad transfer that is out that hurts us the most is Stewart not Brunk. Had he been here from the start this year it would be interesting to see how the backcourt would have shook out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we had a 31 game winning streak to UW and now we can't beat them very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Saw that Drew Timme for Gonzaga shoots 67% from the field. To me there is no reason that TJD shouldn't hit at least 60% since all of his shots are within 3 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how long do you give a guy who can’t go .500+ in conference. Has their been a single successful coach this century that couldn’t go above .500 in their conference in 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that we knew Romeo was a one and done and probably wouldn't have a huge impact for the long term. In the long run we would have been better off with Henry instead of Romeo.
