  1. Maybe now…however he’s 6’7. No reason not to think Woody wouldn’t expand his game.
  2. Could we play him at the 3? He’s got the build. He’s a fantastic player. He definitely has the possibility of starting day 1 here.
  3. No personal attacks. Sorry if you felt that way…not my intention. There’s a lot about those Sampson years that people think they know, especially us fans, of how it played out. As Sampson continues to win and we see former IUBB players like Stemler, Gordon and White cheer him on - I hope it causes some pause the way us fans think happened, because it isn’t so necessarily black and white….and I think that has begun.
  4. I’ll end with this….you must be naive.
  5. Self reported phone calls reported by self-righteous individuals don’t compare to actual criminal behavior investigated by the FBI which is what these schools and coaches were doing.
  6. We self reported. You don’t self report, there is no show clause. In light of all that’s happened with other big time schools sticking by their coaches and their cheating scandals…this was a “nothing burger.” The trajectory of the program changed forever 14 years ago. No question, we would’ve won a title or two. Whether you like it or not, Kelvin Sampson is a HOF coach.
  7. Up and down season. Glad we made the tournament. I expect us to take the next step forward next season.
  8. Really cool listen with Archie there. He almost seems like he’s pulling for Indiana….and maybe he is. Let’s not forget, he recruited a lot of these players.
  9. This will be another really tough game. Iowa is very hot right now. Keegan Murray is playing out of his mind. Keep in mind, we’ve also played 2 incredibly physical games the last 2 days as well. With that said, let’s get the W!
  10. Will be tough….but lets go out and get the win!
  11. While this is true…nothing in our recent history suggests we will win this game. Though the optimist will think, “law of averages says we have to win one of these games at some point, this has to be the game.” Hope springs eternal.
  12. For better or for worse…let’s hope for the the better. Woodson isn’t going anywhere. Woodson will leave when he wants to leave.
  13. All you need to know about our administration is we self-reported minor violations and it was treated like the ultimate sin, while we’ve seen other programs, very successful ones at that, do far worse since. Complete over reaction. It has set back our program years. The trajectory of our program forever changed. We could’ve easily had a couple Final Fours or a 6th banner. We chose not to go that route and now we continue to see a program like Houston make Final Fours while we are begging just to make the tournament because we haven’t been invited for the better part of a decade.
  14. Need major upgrade at wings for next year. Another disappointing performance from both players against RU.
  15. Don’t think Leal leaves. He’s a Bloomingnton native. Kid could stay as a preferred walk-on i suppose. Agree about Lander, he needs to go. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out with him and I think if he could do it all again, he wouldn’t re-classify. We need a major upgrade at the wings. Stewart and Kopp have both been a disappointment this year…and while I love TJD, and really hope he stays, he shouldn’t be the focal point in our offense next year— bball is now dominated by perimeter play. I Expect major minutes from JHS next year. We also need high major transfers this summer…we need a talent upgrade, and one quickly.
  16. Gotta think JHS may start? Maybe both play?
  17. There’s a disconnect between the university and fan base. Sadly, IU basketball will never be what it once was, or even close to it…I don’t think the University will allow it
  18. Absolutely PATHETIC. This team needs to be completely rebuilt. This program is a disgrace. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. We are cursed.
  19. This is torture. You know what’s going to happen but continue to watch hoping it doesn’t happen…a Rutgers win.
  20. This is not a knock on our current coaching staff but more of an observation of what we've seen for the better part of 20 years with this program, in fact this has been brought up a few times by the media and it's a great question. Why is it so hard for IUBB to jumpstart? We see Mick Cronin in 1 year take UCLA to the Final Four, we see Tommy Lloyd take Arizona back to the top 10 in his first year after 3 very mediocre years, Sampson win 20 games after 1 year at Houston after decades of being a terrible program, Pitino take Iona to the Big Dance in year 1 and the list goes on. What's the answer?
