Could you imagine 

XJ

improved Bates

Galloway healthy

improved Geronimo

TJD 

21/22 win team next year

If Killer Mopp shows up next year IU could be decent.

If only Kopp could have played like this every game. Needed Galloway again. Purdue isn’t that good. I don’t think they will be able to beat an Arizona or Gonzaga. 

Stewart is killing us… Take him out. 

Take Stewart out

Is this Killer Mopp? 

I think I’m over watching Parker Stewart play this season.

I mean Iu is due for one of those random they can’t miss games. It’s would be nice if iu magically went 14/21 from 3.

I have watched a lot of games and the last month I have seen most teams shortening their rotation. I don't see many teams playing playing more than 8 guys and some only playing 7 like Duke

 

I’m not saying shorting the bench isn’t a bad idea this year but could you imagine if we shortened the bench next year… My goodness Durr gets gassed after running up and down the court 6 times…. Imagine him playing 28 minutes.

I don’t  know what to tell you. Outside of a few stagnant possessions, which Rutgers had on their end too, we got great looks. 

We got the ball to the high post and the low block. We forced them to collapse on TJD and then kicked out to great, to decent shooters for wide open looks and we just didn't make them. 

What's the solution? Politely ask them to not play zone? 

They played zone. Our zone offense got really good looks for the most part. We misses those good looks. End of story. 

And this right here is why we need an overhaul of shooters that Woodson must bring in. If not more and more teams will run zone on Iu. The only problem will be that Iu might not have any post threats to trust even to make the passes our bigs made last night.

Or we need guys that are capable of hitting wide open 3s?

Need guys who want to be Gym Rats and hold players accountable if they’re not wanting to put in the extra work. 

All I know is if IU plays in the NIT I hope Woodson plays the guys who will be around next year significant minutes. If he knows anyone who is leaving then let them sit. Work on molding the new core

100%. Priority #1 in the re-recruitment of current players. 

How many players should Woodson re recruit because it can’t be much

Not saying that, and I will listen to legitimate arguments for the last 3.  The first one, however, is indefensible in my opinion.  Each and every game stands on its own.  Based on what was happening on the floor, Geronimo was going to help the team be successful tonight,  The other two (Race and Stewart) were not.  And, I'll even throw Durr into that since he got 5 minutes of time in the 2nd half.that could have went to Geronimo as well.  

• Ride Keith Smart in the '87 championship game when he is hot
• Ride Christian Watford against UK when he is on fire

When a player is making a difference, let them play!

 

 

Durr was too slow for that game.

We are who we are.  This loss isn't out of the norm.  It's a typical loss - you can't deny it.

It hurts to look at it this way, but the better team went on the road and won in a tough environment.  Every coach in the league knows how to beat IU, and you could see the confidence oozing off Pickiell's face in the second half.  Keep it close, and you will beat IU.

Need to hit the portal hard.  There's enough data to know you aren't winning with this roster.  

Until we get winners around the program we will have loser mentalities. Until you bring in players who want to work hard and play for the name on the front of the jerseys we will be stuck right where we are.

Agree. I Feel like the coaching staff did everything they could to win this game but our players just couldn't hit shots. They continually drew up plays that created open shots and they didn't hit. 

I think one time Rutgers literally let Stewart shoot it and they were content on letting him do that. 

I don’t know what to think… But this team needs a full on reset. Time to cut losses with some guys. Trayce is never going to be nba ready but he if comes back great if not whatever. We can’t have Durr start next year. IU is just cursed. 

Good halftime adjustments…..

We aren't going to lose, but could you imagine if we did and Woody sat there, with the imaginary halo over his head, naively saying "I have to get them over the hump?"  This place would burn down.

Oh my… That would be something. Even Twitter and other social media platforms would be something.

Well this doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies, unlike bacon 🥓 

This is like when you intake a lot of alcohol and shooting passed your limit. (No mixing in any water.) Not knowing now what the next day will bring. 

This is the game I fear most. A lot of people assuming we win. Unfortunately, we haven’t learned to close out games. Step on the throat early and often.

The reason we lost last night was because Woody kept Stewart on Branham. Why? I have no idea. I need to wake up from this nightmare. 

Not having Galloway at the end hurt but ya… No idea why Stewart and Kopp have been guarding the go to man the last 2 games. It’s a migraine. 

I’ll ask the question:

You are Mike Woodson… This off-season do you blow the roster up (Crean them) and restart with a whole new crew or run it back 1 more year with basically the same results then maybe sneak in. 

Gotta take Trayce out soon. Hack a Shaq upcoming. 

How did Stewart end up on the floor
