It’s more about being confused by people that just want to accept mediocrity. I’ve already said Woody deserves one more year, but I can also turnaround and ask myself why though? Every important metric involved in basketball has declined with us over the last three years, so why SHOULD we expect different next year? A zebra’s stripes do not change. I hope like hell if he’s here next year that he does. I’m not rooting for him to fail, just don’t think he’s willing to change. I’m at a loss for words if people think his system is just going to work all of a sudden. And his postgame press conferences! Good lord, why does he sound so clueless to the problems? I’m just concerned we’ll be throwing away another year next year. We have one commitment and are looking at losing 5+ kids minimal. Where are replacements coming from? I’m just frustrated and don’t blame anybody for being upset with this year, or for not believing in Woodson. God bless the optimists and the loyalists. I really hope they are right. *I didn’t realize what thread I was in, so I won’t respond anymore about this in this one.*

I’m not sure you have to guard him, but get your point.

I get it and I’m not blaming you! I contributed.

I’ve never used the ignore function before, but what a great idea it was.

That’s what hyperbole is….. exaggeration. I’m well aware they couldn’t play with the men.

Yeah, sorry. Wrong thread to be discussing the other kid.

Normally, I’d say you’re nuts thinking we’d beat Northwestern at home, but not Nebraska. I’d switch those two… then winning all three remaining road games…. I’ll take what you’re smoking. Agree with Wiscy bc I’ll be there… auto loss. Would hope we’d beat MSU at home. But as inconsistent and sporadic as this team is…. you could be right. Who knows!

You speaking of DD or the kid that went to Creighton? I was speaking of the kid that went to Creighton. Off court issues with DD? If he’s not a PG that can get his own shot and shoot it relatively well, he doesn’t move the needle for me. But I haven’t seen him play so I can’t make an educated assessment. Normally I’d say I’ll trust the staff to make the right choice, but I don’t think I’m in that boat anymore.

Why? 😂

Only 3 stars, shoots it well from deep….. not a fit.

It is all about the women. Everybody is talking about how the guards could play for the men’s team. That’s a compliment. What’s the problem?

No vote for me. Not voting for somebody that rarely shows up, but they do tonight in a game that is already over. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I didn’t watch because I knew what would happen. The game itself changes nothing for me. Same stuff over and over. This season has been over for a while and I’ll be extremely surprised if they win 2 more games this year….don’t think we beat Nwestern at home, sadly. Not even mad anymore. I have tickets to the Wisconsin game and I’m trying decide if it’s disrespectful towards the IU employee that got them for me to tell them I don’t want them anymore. 😬 I’ve thought all along that Woodson “deserves” one more year based on the last two years, but he’s losing me with the post-game quotes. I know he’s so much smarter than the rest of us but he really sounds about as ignorant as they come. I have zero faith he’ll do what is necessary this offseason recruiting or be willing to adjust the crappy style of basketball we play. Embarrassing.

How was I supposed to know that coming from you? 😂 🤷🏻‍♂️

If that’s the case, then Woody isn’t as smart as you claim he is. I don’t think Woody should be gone after this year, maybe next, but if he allowed the same coach to game plan the game this year after the two last year…..that’s some big time negligence on his part. I’d assume he isn’t that dumb.

That jump ball late was a gift too! Talking about home cooking. UK guy clearly grabbed the Gonzaga guy across the wrists. Ike is TOUGH!

This is yet again, another excuse. The majority of us on here knew we didn’t do what was necessary in the offseason. A fully healthy, more mature XJ does very little to change the narrative this year. And if that one thing is what changed the entire narrative, then it proves my point. Woody put all of his eggs in the basket of a guy that was coming off an injury, and has never been able to control his emotions.

Facts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You have an excuse for everything.

I have a post deleted?

I think that’s a fair assessment and one many of us understand and agree with. Next year is going to be huge.

Has to be okay throwing it down to the post and watching the post guys shoot over double and triple teams. 🤷🏻‍♂️

All good. Glad to hear. I certainly don’t “dislike” him by any means (I don’t dislike any of them… not even XJ), I just wish he’d put the same amount of effort on the defensive end and on the boards as he does on the offensive end, and stop turning it over. Last night he answered the call.

Usually by me bc i feel like he scores, but that’s it typically…. turns it over a lot, doesn’t see the floor well, doesn’t play D, and doesn’t rebound. Last night he answered the call and I owed it to him!

Needs to be a healthy balance, but can’t live or die by either style.
