The “scheme” Woody has deployed on defense just isn’t working and it’s embarrassing to watch these guys fail night after night and nothing changes.

He absolutely does not. He lets his guy blow past him to the bucket and expects someone else to stop it. It’s like he’s switching on an invisible pick

How many wide open 3s does Woody want to give up before he stops this asinine, double every post feed no matter what, strategy?

There’s a nba mock draft that describes MR as a “tenacious rebounder” and all I could do was laugh.

If it’s allowed in baseball, there’s no valid argument to disallow it in basketball. Especially now where foreign pro leagues are more accessible than ever and the creation of the G-League or whatever they call it.

The NBA/NCAA adopting the baseball model for professional eligibility would be a huge start while they sort out the transfer rules mess. Wanna go pro outta high school? Fine. Wanna come to college? Ok, but you’re here for 3 years. Im all for progress and taking care of the student athletes but at some point, the product on the court has to matter.

In Europe or Asia?

If you watched Sparks in the 2-3 minutes he played, you’ll see a guy who puts a body on a guy and boxes him out of the lane. Its textbook. If you watch everyone else, you see standing near the basket, jumping at the ball.

Mbako is so incredibly un-athletic. It’s wild to watch a guy with his frame struggle to get above the rim and move his feet on defense

Gallaway, man. What the hell happened to him? GF cheat on him with his dad? Seniors are destroying this team

I want audio of Woody screaming at these guys to block out or it’s never happened

Winning the “Points off Turnovers” battle kept us in it. Hopefully we can clean up the perimeter defense a bit and get some better shots

I agree but it is hard for X to get his shot off unless he’s wide open. He falls in love with driving and leaving his feet at the basket, leading to some WILD layup attempts. Unfortunately it’s a problem we have to live with because after 5.5 years, he aint evolving his game

Gotta block out. Find me a still shot of Galloway actually boxing out and I’ll buy you a drink. Only picking on him because he’s a senior but most on this team are guilty of it. This team and their complete lack of fundamentals is tough to watch

Sparks had zero turnovers, gave up zero points, best +\- on the team…clear choice

Our guards have been the problem all year and we don’t have anyone to replace them on the court with. We got some good post players in the portal but we needed guards

Woody doesn’t know how to coach at this level. He’s a great guy who was a pretty good NBA coach but that style of play doesn’t work with this team and his substitution patterns are puzzling. This team failed miserably in every fundamental category tonight.

Extremely low motor. Can’t dribble, pass or defend. Can’t score in the paint. You can’t just be a shooter and succeed.

Wow, these guys show a ton of respect doubling down a guy who has 2pts on the night. This team has zero understanding of how to play team defense.

He’s arguably the best DB on the from a year ago. Led the team in INTs and was 4th on the team in tackles, (as a sophomore) at a position of need. I mean, ok?

Nice to see Ware wake up from his nap

That 2nd unit gave up a ton of points it seemed. Not s terrible half but definitely need to play better in the next 20

We need guys who can spread the floor. He may be the 3rd-4th best player on the team right now but he’s behind Malik and Ware. Hard to believe a lineup with all three would work

MR didn’t make contact with him. Got a small piece of the ball with it out of his hands

Wellman is quite literally one of the best in the business. If not for being an alumn, IU would never have been able to hire him. Hopefully Ownings brings something unique and innovative to the program but lets not pretend that a guy who has been out of college 5 years is an upgrade.
