    Lilly Meister into the game before Mackenzie Holmes. A surprise, but hopefully due to Moren playing it safe with her star, rather than an indicator of Mack's availability.

    Moren said before the game Mack is available if they absolutely need her. I think she’s saving her more for the ncaa.

    Ladies won.  Nice sweep of Maryland today.  They have the 3 seed in the BTT.

    Holmes got hurt as did her backup.  No reports on how serious either one is.

    I was at the game with my daughter Mack came back to the bench late in the 4th with no noticeable limp. Lilly for sure  has a sprained ankle.

    Don't need to say much on Ware. He's showing his stuff. Really impressed with D and of course a speedy PG does impact about 5-6 possessions so far. Good half of hoops. 

    Only complaint I think we are 0-4 on wide open 3's.

    Just imagine if we could shoot on those wide open looks…

  7. Coach Mike Woodson Megathread

    Not trying to be that guy but since the discussion about firing Mike Woodson involves speculation about potential coaching candidates I can't help wondering why Bruce Pearl would want to leave the SEC? The SEC is either number 1 or 2 for the most current NBA players. The SEC overall plays a style of basketball that is decent to watch unlike the BIG Ten which is simply put "straight garbage." I say that while I continue watching BIG 10 basketball because that's what I'll do until I die.

    Would you rather watch the top 2 teams in the Big 10 play or the top two in the SEC? One game would involve watching a 7'4" player hack everyone death, a free throw disparity of 4 to 1  and Brad Underwood pulling a choke job in the last 8 minutes. While the other would involve modern day basketball both offensively and defensively.

    Maybe I'm wrong but I don't recall a decent coach leaving the ACC, BIG 12 and or SEC for the Big Ten in the last two decades. Maybe there was 1 but I think that proves my point. If some says Brad Underwood may god have mercy on your soul.

    Lastly, the Big Ten is not place where NBA talent guards and the best NCAA coaches want to go. If we fire Mike Woodson most likely we will end up with another unproven coach from a mid-major conference. Does that mean we should want Woodson? No, it doesn't but in my opinion the issue will always be roster construction with any coach we hire until the BIG decides not to play bully ball. Change should occur but the type of change we desire for Indiana Basketball will always be limited by the Big Ten.

    Yeah, I saw that too... But I've seen him lay into a few players this year... Not like he reserves it for just a few...

    A lot of people call it coaching... 

    oh I wasn’t arguing it either way just pointing out I think that was moment people are pointing to.

    If you call this "ripping" a kid... 

    Woodson: "We're young, missing our senior point guard, trying to play a freshman at point guard. It's tough. You know, Gallo struggled tonight trying to play the point with his six turnovers. It's a lot that comes in play with that. We played well enough this year in spurts, but not well enough to complete ball games. That's what makes it frustrating."

    It was actually in game. Tominaga beat him for layup and woody called a timeout and layed into him pretty good. I think it was late in the second half.

    When you actually do, yes it does STING. 

    Don't get me wrong, just last night I was pumping Malik to my SIL. Love the Kid. But if that was my son... I'd call him a little bitch. I need MEN, warriors. That aint it.

    Except he did actually take an elbow to the jaw?

    I've had empathy for ONE person in the last 3 years and that is Malik. I simply love the kid.

    His crying and whining over that face kinda hit shit, I am done. I want men players. move on.

    I mean taking a elbow to the jaw does kinda sting…

    Just did not know where to put this but wanted to share a little encounter from Saturday.

    Our company did some work for the All Star game and the owner and I were able to take our kids to the practice and had a great time. When I got home my neighbor was outside and he is a huge sports fan so we talked for a little while about the practice and sports in general. He was putting up his Nascar flag of the Jeff Gordon #24. Being a big Gordon fan myself we talked some nascar and I asked him why the Gordon flag and not someone current that has a chance of winning. Without missing a beat he says I have looked over at the IU flag you have flying and have thought the same thing. Gordon has the same chance of winning the cup as IU does winning another title in basketball. He says I think we both relish and miss the past. Unfortunately I could not argue. 

    I mean Gordon does have a shot a championship as a team owner…
