I would think ISU makes it

Our net would be good if we had blown out the crap teams in the noncon and did not have 4+ 15 point losses against good teams. Margin of victory has a lot of sway

i am just to jaded anymore when it comes to IU basketball. I cannot enjoy wins. I also have zero response to losses. I just don't care. I can only see the negative and the excuses and not the joy of the win. I know Scott will call me a bad fan and maybe I am now. Congrats on the win, I just don't care.

He was a disaster at UGA, but had the best results we have had in 20 years. Did he have faults, yup and i was ok when the was replaced. But we should have replaced him with a much larger/better suited coach from that point.

Hell put Coach Crean in charge of the team lol. At this point, he is the top of the hump over the last 20 years

we have an empty roster in '25 and need to buy 7 more players again

Woodson will be here until he dies on the court. He isn't being fired, retiring or any other reason. He will be our coach until the day he doesn't want to. Regardless of how the seasons play out.

If we could pick and choose our own metrics we can make it look better, but so could every team which mean it would also affect where we stand. It really boils down to the fact we don't have enough 15+ point wins against bad teams and to many 15+ losses to good teams. We are just bad all around. Just have to accept it and move on.

how cool to be taking oops from Curry

Are we living in Alaska, out dark days seem to be longer than i remember lol. Hopefully out sunny days are long and warm to follow this streak of darkness

I don't believe this at all. He might not be the coach we want going forward but he has coached and played long enough to know what his record is in both leagues. This is just throwing shit at a guy for no reason other than they want him gone.

They don't really ever call it out, but Margin of Victory is HUGE in the net. The more you win by, the better off you are. Is it an indication of how elite you are, there could be an argument there. I know wins are wins and it doesn't matter if you win every game by 1, you still win every game. But if you look at paper only and have 1 team with an equal number of Q1, 2 and 3 wins/losses to a similar team and one team has an average win rate of 17 points and the other is 3 points.

We're wading into Brad Steven level of rumor and innuendo. There are going to be a very large group of fans disappointed and unhappy when absolutely nothing happens this year.

Can we change the name to Mike Woodson - THE BIG DEBATE

I lost to Seymour my Jr year in football sectionals. We were like ranked #2/3 and they ended up going all the way to state and losing to Hobart. Was the only good year Boonville had up until a couple years ago with the Mockobee kid who is now at Purdue.

Also,. sorry my previous quote came off harsher than i intended.

LOL true, let me know if you actually see them. And you never know, they might be a tasty treat for you and your children/grand children based on how old you are. lol

No one is asking you too. You are not her demographic. Iowa has nothing sports related. She is the biggest thing out here in forever. She is just doing what she can to earn money. I don't blame her at all. Cringe or not

If someone said they were going to make a cereal and put you on the box and you are going to make 1mil from it. Would you do it as a 20 year old college athlete?

Objection your honor. Conjecture and speculation. Move to Strike. We don't know either side of the story. Sustained.

We should be able to have the same foundational type players and then add the elevation from top flight talent, from Indiana or across the nation. Even with the dumpster fire of a program we have been for the last 25 years. Look at the amount of talent we have still accumulated. We just haven't had a coach who can put it all together. Maybe Coach Woodson can do that starting next year, maybe he can't.

Damn, must be one hell of a team or one hell of a grandson lol

I want a good roster construction. Which includes 4 year kids and experienced vets. Might get that from the portal, might also have that from HS recruiting. Balance is needed.

Actually no i wouldn't. I would feel much better if we had 2 or 3 PG/SG in hand. We already have Malik and Sparks and any other portal Big that wants to come here. Just my 2c though

I wouldn't throw recruiting around when it comes to the '24 class for IU and Kentucky. They have a bit more in hand than we do. Kentucky's '24 recruiting class IU's '24 recruiting class
