I've read every prediction column that's been posted in this thread, and I come to one conclusion...

The thing all of the writers are really underestimating is Mike Woodson... We have as much raw talent with potential as we've ever had... and the doubts I see are all on whether the talent can be maximized and mesh...

So, as Woody always says, he has to get them "over the hump."

I think we're gonna surprise a lot of people this year... 

good lord 

the “hump” was preseason ?

The high stepping ref is terrible

Yeah definitely.  I meant after the season. 

Still question why O$U did it that way 

Odds are new coach brings in a few current players 

This is also puts a target on your players

"Best team money can buy"

Actually a bad investment 

You are saying it’s about player development?

Maybe check how WBB or football do it?

I thought we were better off without 2 bigs on the floor? 

If you had 3 great guards/wings it wouldn’t matter 

MR at the 5 is a mess on defense/rebounding 

What are the positives in bringing back CMW?

He can’t turn that down if offered.  

Wouldn’t you want to finish the season?

That is very hard to defend 

Basically dropping the hammer 🔨 

He didn’t help in a murder so improvement from last year 

Schedule a game in Starkville

I gotta think this is all Underwood. He's had great teams but his coaching late in games has been suspect. 

They acted surprised when they got pressed late

Supposedly what he likes about Purdue is the exact opposite of playing with a rotating cast of random portal guys. 
 

But he also supposedly preferred IU, all else being equal. 
 

so who knows…he’ll probably sign with the little scumbag up north…

The family atmosphere at Purdue is real 

With one open scholarship it will be interesting to see what happens

That doesn’t leave any time to develop a relationship with a new staff if that happens…we have a one man class this offseason and if Woody was to be dismissed after 24…the 25 class will be a disaster as a new coach won’t have time to re-recruit all these guys. The future is rather dim if Woody doesn’t figure it out.

You can fall in love quickly ❤️

The question is can CMW do anything to convince him to commit?  Getting 4-5 portal guys and showing a diverse offense?

i wouldn't go 99% of the time you win that in the tourney.  You had glaring holes that they took advantage of.  I would say 75 times out of a 100 you win that at best. 

Which one is it?

I think FDU was one the worst ncaa teams ever….Purdue took them lightly and choked when the game got tight 

or 

FDU was really good and Purdue was bad despite being ranked #1 and winning Big Ten by 3 games ?

Purdue was 20+ point favorites 

It would be a great scoring front court 

Rebounding & defense would be a nightmare.  Hopefully CMW would get em over the hump 

Missed 4 weeks of class 

Was a huge locker room problem 

I assume Louisville or UNC next year?

Speaking of Jones and Domask. How did Mullins finish 3rd in the MVC with those 2 last year?

Did you see Jones shot selection?

Krikke 

Mast 

Jones 

Domask 

Valley has talent for sure

He will go to Purdue because he is smart. Why play for a disaster of a program like ours. 

If he really wants IU and most of us think he does 

Wait until this time next year 

Writing will be on the wall 

Izzo might retire?

Woody?

Not many schools won’t save a scholarship

WARE: You got to box out more and crack down on the big when I go to like block a shot. Just got to work on rebounding more. 

Collins: They have one of the elite shot blockers in the country in Kel'el Ware. What happens with an elite shot blocker is he comes over to block everything. One of the things we talked about with our bigs is to be ready on the back side because if he isn't able to block it, you're a free rebounder. That's why our guy was able to get rebounds and finish the plays. 

👍  NW is as physical as any team in Big Ten.  Gotta match them or it’s a long day 

Gunn makes that 3?

Ball doesn’t find Nicholson who flips it in ?

Honestly thought you guys were gonna pull it out

I have zero problem with Woody calling guys out.  That's what his coach did.  However, what I do have a problem with is auto starting those same guys you are calling out the next game.  Sit them on the bench to start.  Send them a message.  Woody's coach would have done that too.  

Said it from first game.

Do these guys like each other?

Is anyone held accountable for lack of effort, defense or rebounding?

Promising playing time to players to leap frog to NBA is a joke…..MP & Ivey 😡

You can't say year 4 looks worse until you see the roster, imo it will probably be better. And "luckily made the tournament"? You are either in or not. So is it "unluckily" not making the tournament when you feel like you should have made it? This season stinks, no doubt about it but let's not starting poking holes in the other seasons just to make this season seem worse than it already is. This season has gone about as bad is it could under the circumstances. 

As you watch mid major conference tournaments just think there are multiple 🐁 McFaddens or Lance Jones/Domask ready to step into Candy Stripes
