Look, if the IU Old Guard wanted Woody because they wanted an IU guy to bring back Bob Knight basketball, they cannot be happy.  This has to be the farthest thing from what they wanted.

Does he not realize why they leave our shooters open, because they know they can't hit them.

A better question for Woodson why did our defense play fo poorly on their shooters

Holy crap, I think I have figured it out.  Woody doesn’t understand the college game, so he watches what other college coaches do and patterns his team similarly.  So, every game he has seen the past few years, the opposing college coach has had his defense sag off of shooters, and it usually works.  So, Woody has implemented that same “sag off the shooters” defense, it just hasn’t worked as well.

I think what is starting to twist my shorts is that Woody is acting like he is untouchable.  He gives the same bs at EVERY post game press conference.  If you know what the problems are, but haven’t made any improvements by game 26, the rest of us are left with the thought that you have no idea how to fix the problems.  His lack of humility is disturbing.

I think God Awful would be more appropriate than Fear of God Athletics.

I like that.  It works for the team and the uniform……

All this time I thought there was nothing going on behind the scenes to improve the basketball program.  I’m so glad I was wrong….

Think I’m gonna go watch the women kick the s#!T out of the boilers just so I feel a little better.

If I remember correctly I think Leal had a really good game at Iowa his freshman year. Maybe he likes playing Iowa

He’s hoping Caitlin Clark is watching

Are we limited to just one “Anthony Leal game”??

At this point it’s almost a reflex for her.  You should see her walking through the mall at Christmas time.

Because no one gets assist when they throw the ball to Reneau…you don’t get an assist when the guy pounds the ball 5-6 times on the floor backing and lowering his shoulder until he shoots. An assist is credited when the pass leads directly to a made shot or attempt.

That works both ways.  Malik also doesn’t get an assist when he kicks the ball out and Johnson air-balls a 3.

Of all the guys on this roster, the one that appears to hate losing the most, is Malik.  You can see the pain and frustration on his face late in some of these games.  He is surrounded by guys who can’t shoot, or won’t shoot, so he’s left to make something happen.  Sometimes it works sometimes it’s really ugly.  If you were on the floor and knew you were the first, second, and third best offensive options, what would you do?

I missed most of the game.  What was the technical foul?

Question: Was there a coach any more arrogant than The General, CRMK???

I think arrogance when you have something to back it up is a little more tolerable than when you don’t.  But that’s just me.

 We can't even be bad boys properly. I mean who half asses a F2?  IU, that's who.

Pretty sure X got the whole ass, and some other stuff too on his f2…..just sayin….

Just now, Cbp4IU said:

Welp.  Woodson just said we are still trying to figure each other out.” He realizes we are onto game like 20 right?

That just tells me he either has no idea, or he just doesn’t care.  Neither is acceptable.

I think that really says everything, doesn’t it?

When does football start?

Another positive, we won the second half.

IU 53 

UW 52

So we’re trending up!!!

What part of our game did we improve on from the previous game? 

Seriously, free throw shooting.

The “scheme” Woody has deployed on defense just isn’t working and it’s embarrassing to watch these guys fail night after night and nothing changes. 

You don’t think the “double off the hot hand” defense is working?

Just now, IUskim said:

Probably either didn’t watch or just don’t want to fight one another anymore. 

There are a million better things to do on a Friday night, than watch that garbage…..unfortunately I didn’t do any of them.

Imagine being a UNLV or Colorado St fan and missing the first 10 minutes of your game because you have to watch this?

The only reason I’m still watching is that I was hoping they would switch.

To be fair to Gunn, Kermit is entirely punchable.
