Not sure what i was expecting but i don't think i have seen it yet. I expected better offense and game planning. More in game adjustments, half time adjustments, and game to game adjustments. I feel like we just keep doing the exact same thing hoping it will just work. I am not sold yet on our coaching staff. I guess they need more time but i was expecting more i guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We agree...Like I said...It's too early to tell... I look at things like Trayce saying they worked all week on pushing the ball versus PSU, but then they didn't execute that... I think Coach Woody would excuse the physical errors, but not executing the game plan has to be addressed... I've heard CMW say more than once it's the PGs job to run the team...Isn't doing what you practiced and getting other players to follow the game plan kinda in that job description?

One coach is in year 16 and one coach is in year 1, big difference there lol. Getting better from a terrible record last season won't happen overnight.

Indykev Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 3 hours ago, Indy1987 said: I wanna believe we can win so bad but... poor outside shooting, missed FT's and Turnovers makes me think otherwise. A lot of IU fans just expect us to win all our home games and I just don't think that's happening this year. Which most likely means we won't have a bid to the dance come March. Hope I'm wrong. Go Hoosiers!!! We just dont have a point guard who can take us anywhere. Bad passers, bad shooters and bad decision makers is what we have at point guard. Without wing scoring our offense has become stagnant and easy to guard. Double TJD, force him into a turnover, missed lay up, or a missed 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I haven’t dated a girl from IU in 30 years but I do go to Harry’s with grad school friends. Let’s just say things have changed a lot since the 80’s #80’sHOT ugly campus…..not sure what can be done about that….is IU too 20% nationally?

I agree with both these statements. I am not trying to bash PU or kick them when they're down. They have a good, possibly great team. But Painter has to pull the right strings. Anything outside of a top three Big Ten finish (I would argue top two), and like you said, anything less than the Elite 8, would be a disappointment IMO. And this has nothing to do with "I wish IU had these problems" etc. Of course I wish that. But look at the disdain toward Crean because of the Syracuse loss. Painter's a better coach, but at some point your best teams have to do something special, not close to something special. When you have the horses, you've got to produce results. It's great to win the BIG or do ok in the tourney, but when the time comes, you've got to breakthrough. Kinda of similar to Keady and G-Rob. Have to seize the moment. Not saying that was Keady's best team or that this is for Painter, but you really never know when the chance will come again. If nothing else, IU fans should be able to relate to that.

IU Scott Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Watching the UI and Minnesota game and Cockburn twisted his ankle. It makes me wonder why did basketball players where low top now instead of high tops. Toe high tops helps you if you twist or sprain your ankle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockburn does get away with murder inside, but if they're going to let him... And don't forget, Izzo has MSU playing much better than last year...

Or do you mean Kofi who still hasn't learned how to play high ball screen defense in year 3? Or do you mean Illinois who got worked by Loyola....by Loyola....in the round of 32 last year? I'll hang up and wait for the one from Quincy to explain this stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
