Why Woody? Maybe Fife didn't like the Wittman stuff....either way Dane Fife is an IU here and when the time comes down the road he'll always be welcomed back!

Woody is the head coach...  who will want to be an assistant when the assistance don't have much input? Fife isn't taking off after 1 year for nothing... 

Red Flags all over Woody. Obviously the rumors were true

Jmo 

JHS is starting at one of the wings next year. Thats fine if others dont factor FR into their equations.. I'm going to. 

I hope so! Because having a kid from Montverde and IMG on the bench  will be awesome for those pipe lines

This isn't really true.

And yes, Bates for sure has more ability then Parker and Kopp... why didn't he show that more often when given the opportunity? Bates not playing anymore than he did is 100% on him. 

I think it 1000% true. We can't be excited when a 5 star picks us due to perception,  then bury our heads in the sand and make an excuse when they leave.  His minutes were short. In my opinion if he had a longer leash, and more minutes, we would have seen more in game development.  You have to play to get experience.   Feed your future, not two guys who just aren't good enough

I definitely wish Bates would have got more run.  He has more ability in one leg than the Two guys ahead of him... "loving seniors " can burn you, on the recruiting  trail. Especially with 5 and high 4 star kids

Galloway and Bates haven't played well either so besides Geronimo who do you want to play more

They atleast have fresh legs... Kopp and Parker should never be on the floor at the same time

I hope Woody has the same kind of speech tonight that he did against UM.

 

Woody needs to pull his head out his arse and make a lineup change. He may be one of our own, but I've said all year his rotations, substitutions, and in game management  suck

They are being outplayed. Bit the last 2 weeks will wear on you. I don't care how young you are.

 

Agreed we are definitely tired. Young people still get fatigued... 

Needs to play Bates, Jordan, Leal...  Parker and Kopp are tired and aren't good enough even on fresh legs. But Woody won't do it

Let's crash this mofo! See you fellas sometime tomorrow 😂

Honestly, no joking. Is $$ what it takes? This has to stop. We are a diverse group here, what makes this crashing stop? Lead us on how to help. please.

Agreed! Love this board, but it's pretty much useless at the times of most importance.  I ended up doing a premium on peegs,  just so I could actually log on during crucial moments of b ball 

I feel like we are in fairly easy.  I don't see us in Dayton... 11 seed for us in my opinion 

Really good game!  Obviously we need more from our shooters... actually we don't have shooters. We just need a few guys to knock down some shots.  TJD can score 30 and we are still getting bounced. The points have to come from the perimeter to make any significant run.  I would have loved to see Bates get some run in the 2nd

Stop helping...just lock down the perimeter..if they can beat us going to the rimless emtry

800 games in to the season, and I still have no idea why we play Miller and Stewart at the same time

He grew up a lot

Yes he has. In my opinion,  he's the best pg we've had since Yogi. He hasn't reached his ceiling yet. Hopefully we get to see him close to it, next year

I really hope XJ comes back.  I think he could be really really good next season.  Give him some wings that can create, and we are sitting good

We are so close to being a really good team.  Just not enough horses to close out games.

Kopp playing 34 minutes in a must win game, tells me pretty much everything I need to know about Woody.

Geronimo had 6 and 2 in 9 minutes...  

I defended Archie until the end, even though I could see the issue's.  I won't do the same thing again... not that my opinion means anything!

I will be thankful when we have guards, wings, and don't rely on our bigs. Our current situation is not built to win close games.... obviously

Pacers started 5 guards today, I believe.  Maybe 1 small forward in bunch.  And, they beat the Celtics.

He can keep TJD on the floor and still not clog up the middle. Woody sucks at identifying this issue... at the end of every game the defenses sag off and we still try to pound it in the post.. XJ is explosive with the ball, get the posts out the lane and let the kid go to work... I'm glad Woody isn't recruiting a ton of bigz, cause he sure doesn't know what to do with them

I really don't know what Woody is thinking in these situations.  Get the frigging posts out of there and open the floor up.
