trying to get over the hump

He needs to check his shoes. His shirt. The mirror. If he can’t locate anything there, throw spaghettini? 

The biggest problem with this team is defense. And if you have a problem with defense there is a problem with your team. Is defense a skill? Quick feet helps. Defense is effort, communication and knowing what you’re trying to accomplish and having all five players working together to accomplish that goal. We have a team problem. Being this late in the season it’s not looking good. Illinois missed multiple wide open threes yesterday. I really don’t think our defense was much better yesterday. We’ll see? 

No brains no gains! 

Hell give them all a trophy. That’s what Indiana is all about today. 

No brains no gains

Remeber the two points from x and the tech. Brains are important. 

And he thinks it’s funny! What a fricking idiot! Hell if your going to throw it at him break his fricking nose at least. 

I think the word recruit needs to be changed to interview. And that would consist of show me your skills against my players. These guys are getting payed now. They should be able to show if they are worthy. Get rid of the hype. Show me the skills. 

It’s time to stop pretending we don’t know what’s wrong with IU basketball. We all know the problem it’s always been the problem for 23 years. It’s obvious and we can all see it. No one will say it. 

The fix is simple. All Woodson has to do is tell all the players it’s ok to be good again! Just like he told Rob P two years ago. It’s ok to be good again? Why would you tell a player that? Someone please explain that. 

This game should be interesting and full of thuggish actions. For Illinois we have a charged rapist and for IU we have the cheap shot artists. Hopefully no one gets raped in this one but a couple nut crackers pointed elbows to the melon could make things heated.

What happened??

The pace of play there was much slower. Now he always has a hand near by on defense.  And I also think he’s not dealing well with being just another team mate. He needs to think he’s the guy. His ego took a hit and he can’t recover.

I don't think these guys want to lose.  I think they have been set up to lose because their coaching staff isn't doing their job.  At a certain point they know the definition of insanity too.  Bates left our program and suddenly became a better player.  The system holds them back and that has to get frustrating.

Heck, the reaction from Gunn is at least some emotion.  I would have lost my sh** about the state of things awhile ago.

There is definitely a system in play here that needs to be destroyed! Who’s running the system? Don’t tell me the fans are the reason we can’t get a great coach. The fans at Duke, Kentucky, Kansas are no different.

Exactly. Can we stop pretending Gunn “elbowed him in the face”? Sure it was a dumb move on his part, only because it wasn’t going to cause harm to the other guy and with replay, he was going to get caught.
That said, he couldn’t have been more gentle if he tried. The reaction by Wisconsin was pathetic and soft. Gard is the parent no one wants their kids to play with because he raises nothing but whiny b*tches who act like aholes and cry home to mommy and daddy because their fragile sensibilities were hurt.
The refs had every opportunity to review, ascertain that it was in fact provoked, that no actual pain/harm was inflicted, and move on. The X criticism is well warranted  

The reaction from Gunn tells all. 1. He needs to grow up and quit thinking he’s the victim. The goes for x as well. Nobody is trying to hold them down or back. Become your own man. 2. Wisky was just taking advantage by exploiting a young man’s mental weakness.3. As a team we are mentally weak! 4. As a player why would you be afraid or not want to go to someone’s gym and not live beating the hell out of them and bringing down the boo birds? Absolute best feeling I ever had as a player. These players want to crawl in hole? 

I will never forget woodys words to a player. “It’s ok to be good again? “ He was never asked to explain those words? How could you be any kind of reporter and not ask what the hell are you talking about?

I've ran that back 4 or 5 times now. I might have went with the closed fist. The dude isnt going to run his head into my chest once, let a lone twice and say something while doing it. NOT going to happen. I dont think CJ belongs here but let up on this one. Kid was trying to punk him.

Kid did punk him. The kid got the response he was looking for. The he knew he would get. 

There is absolutely no team work in this offense.All one on one bullshit! 

We’ve hit a new low. Woodson has to go period! 

 Body language. Court awareness. The coaches have lost this team. 

Wow! Our season just got real ugly!

I might find the movie Hard Times and watch that instead. At least I know who gets their butt whooped in that one! Course I know who’s going to get their butt whooped @ WI too?🫣

We need a big win in wisky! A loss and we are in a tail spin we may not come out of?

We get punked every year by Rutgers players with no response

Let’s just hope we can win at wisky and talk some sdjft afterwards. 

Why did they not post Woodsons post game presser on the IU basketball website? Just put Gallo on there.

No, I didn't agree with the rule change. You asked why the IU AD job isn't as important as the OSU job. OSU generates twice the revenue. 

So what! If money is the ruling factor. We don’t have a level playing field. And where ever money rules there is always a politician and politics involved. 
How did the state of Indiana ruin the greatest high school basketball tournament of all time? State politics changed the game and wanted everyone to win a trophy.

It's because OSU has the highest athletics revenue in all of college sports. More than TX, AL, MI, GA, etc. 

so that’s enough to change to the rules in their favor?
