I’m tired of Chris Tucker b

One on four is not great odds, Trey.

Timeout should have been called when the lead went back up to 8. But it always happens too late. 

I thought Hoiberg waited too long during our run.

I wonder what Neb. fans are thinking right now?

They’re both upset. 

We keep chipping away. Nebraska is in a drought. 

Has Walker played tonight?  I don’t remember seeing him.

XJ isnt playing.

He would make a difference. We would probably e down by 25. 

Pathetic. 

Check the backboard for a crack.

Anyone at the game?  Friend of mine is there and said lots of empty seats, and Woodson was booed during introductions. 

I hate that. I’m as unhappy as anyone, but I hate to hear he was booed. 

Going smaller now. Good. 

This is like Penn St and Iowa last year. We will trade two for three all night and get boat raced. 

Stellar start

Add Queen to another 2024 miss

Misses happen. What is plan B to Queen?  Plan B to Fland?  There has got to be a happy medium between offering everyone with a pulse and offering a handful of guys. 

Style of play and things like that get discussed a lot in this thread, but the thing that has me the most nervous is recruiting.
 

We really needed a class of 3-4 HS guys next year including guards. We have one guy, who is awesome, but we need more. I love the moxie to go for the top guys, but when you miss on them who is your plan B?  We can’t just go portal diving every year for 6-7 guys or always bank on getting a decommitted player.   Gunn and Banks being misses, whether mis-evaluated or underdeveloped (I have no energy to debate which and I don’t care, both are bad) really hurts us going into next year. That’s two upperclassmen we should be counting on in their third year. 
 

When Ya and Kenya said you have to work your way up to recruiting some of these guys (not the exact words but the sentiment) maybe he should have heeded that a little more. 
 

We are all chips in on the portal to fill out a competitive roster. I hope for Woody’s sake, the program’s sake, and the fans’ sake he pulls it off. It’s not being contradictory of me to say I desperately want it to happen, but I have serious doubts it does. 
 

With all my heart, Go Hoosiers.

Look familiar?  I am not expecting any changes that will matter.  Woodson is doing what he knows.

Holy heck.

Since Coach is "not going anywhere anytime soon", the portal has to be his best friend in the off season! 

Coach has to.... (if Reneau stays and possibly Ware & MgBako decide to come back)

#1..... land a quality and proven PG.

#2.... find at least 2 scoring guards with respectable/good 3 pt. shooting %'s

#3.... Win

I agree. #1 and #2 are necessary for #3, and #1 and #2 are a whole lot easier said than done. I hate that we are in the position of being so portal dependent going into year four. 

It’s game day. It’s a Wednesday. You know what that means?  It’s hump day.

I don't remember it being this poor in a long time

Archie's first year was pretty bad.

I honestly had trouble adjusting watching the game. I kept finding myself rooting for the white uniforms and then quickly correcting myself. Too bad, too, because the white uniforms were usually doing better.

I mentioned the same thing in the game thread.  I caught myself a couple of times cheering when NW made a good plays because I am so used to seeing us in white on that court.  It took me all of the first half to adjust and I don't think I ever really did.  

I'll bring up a point here too that I did in the NW postgame thread.  Woody said Malik was awful yesterday, then don't start him this game.  Send a message to him that he needs to be better than that.  Don't worry about not starting the usual five, that isn't working well most of the time anyway.  Heck, I think we are better when one of Ware and Malik is out anyway. Woods was brought in large part to bring us back to the days of RMK.  He needs to do what RMK would have done, sit him and send a message.  If he doesn't, I don't want to hear about how awful he was again.  

I have zero problem with Woody calling guys out.  That's what his coach did.  However, what I do have a problem with is auto starting those same guys you are calling out the next game.  Sit them on the bench to start.  Send them a message.  Woody's coach would have done that too.  

I wish I could say I was surprised. I’m not. 

Can we retire these jerseys after today?

Sounds like Brown may be at IU on Sunday 

Hopefully we blindfolded him.
