You want to root for a player like Leal but fear he might never be the player you want him to be. The NW and this game is showing he might not be a player of big ten quality as of now and wonder if he will ever be.

I think we get more than 50 tonight

You get what I mean the terrible shooting and low scoring affair.

I think I miss being able to score so much that I rather lose 94-86 every game instead of 60-50. 

I would assume this situation will turn off a lot parents of recruits. I think this will have long term effects on Michigan basketball. Some parents and players don’t want anything to do with that type of behavior.

So glad to see you mention "flip this roster".  I really believe that is key.  

Mold your own players that want to be a team

Transfers have never been a road to winning in P5 BB. I understand how we are now operating in a different rule era... but beyond filling pehaps a single missing piece here or there... you aren't building a winning program on backs of transfers.  We have 3 in our starting lineup.... we really want to keep trying this over and over? 

 

Who was the last good transfer that played at IU? 

No doubt the only decent transfer is Biefeldt. But I rather take a few grad transfer then keeping some of these guys.

I think the frustrating part about all of this is we know this was the chance to make the tourney. Now with potential of no Race and TJD next year it could get worse. Not saying it will but it could. Do you let your freshmen have big minutes right away next year or do you try to bring in another wave of transfers that may or may not work.

Johnny Davis beat us single handily. How do you let a guy take over in your own gym in a game you have absolutely to win? 

Because of the people who were guarding him. It was down right comedy to see Kopp guarding him. I thought I was seeing things.

No foul

Why isn’t Galloway in?

Kopp on Davis is bold…

I mean…. These games are almost scripted. They have to find a way to win because I think this team will sink if they lose. 

Johnson is out of control. 

I don’t understand the subbing 

Stewart on Johnny Davis is not ideal.

This where I stand with IU going into next year. If we make the NIT I hope Woody only plays guys he thinks will be back during it.

Bates, Galloway and Geronimo hopefully take that next step. I hope Race stays one more year. 
 

If somehow TJD stays I would have him shoot 500 times with his right hand a day. 
 

Xavier Bates Galloway Geronimo Race is still a top tier big ten team if TJD leaves. If Trayce comes back though I think Woodson goes Upperclass heavy.

Xavier Bates Galloway Race TJD

with JHS, Geronimo first off the bench. If Kopp and Stewart return I see only 10-15 minutes a game for them. Maybe they take it… Maybe not and leave.

Win 3. Get in the tourney. Hit the portal. That's the plan.

Cough cough “roster management first” then portal.

Parker Stewart plays way too many minutes.  

Needs a change of scenery

We need better shooting guards and small forwards.

Players like Kopp Durr Stewart Leal Lander…. Could be improved 

I’m just gonna say it… But I hate to run players off but we need major upgrades of talent. 

I mean I would just say… It’s not our year but I don’t think it’s our decade.

Parker Stewart didn’t take the challenge it looks like. 

Can’t get a T there. That was not the time

Some of these guys have been suspended more than once for "breaking the team rules" now.  If you are going to allow the rules to be broken with impunity, why have them?

These guys are adults and we don't know where the team was staying, but to get weed in a city like Chicago that I believe none of them are from, could lead you into some trouble that doesn't just involve sneaking out and smoking weed.

If they want to party and have a good time, whatever.  Doing it the night before a game is stupid.

That’s why I’m saying moving forward Stewart needs to earn back his starting spot if he doesn’t want it… Then he can go elsewhere

I would have put the 5 suspended players in with less than a minute to go when the game was out of reach. I would have told them this loss is on you and your actions so you get out there and take it. Look at what you did to your teammates. 

And tell them don’t bother shooting it.
