Competive anger is what I think they are lacking. Like where's the fire in the belly to hate sucking?

Ware's effort on the season has been there. He played like 35 minutes and played his butt off his first game back from covid. I don't see a competitive edge from either guy. Like, yeah sure, every high major basketball player wants to go pro. If I'm a gm, I haven't seen anything that would make me draft them. They both have a ton of work. I think they would be wise to listen very closely to the feedback.

Mbako takes 5 a game. Gunn is good for one a minute he plays.

We have quit. Zero compete.

It's like getting scratched in the eyes by a bunch of feral cats

They were reviewing the clock. Not a timeout. Both teams still have 3

We make basketball look really really hard.

You said it. It's the NFL. Packers are trending up quickly. He could be looking at a head coaching gig in 3-4 years.

Pretty wild. If he wins big he will then be 1st in line to take over the next top 10 program that comes available.

They must just want him on the team. He has been doing very little so far this year. Does he still have anything in the tank?

Not sexy but the 3 2nds is not nothing. A few years ago they basically got Brogden for free because Milwaukee had to salary dump. 2 2nds was all it took.

We are all on this wide spectrum of optimistic, pessimistic, realist, lean positive realist, lean negative realist. Most of us fanatics flow on this spectrum throughout the season. There has been one maybe 2 seldom posters, one rhymes with ho, who's agenda is let's say, sprinkled with strong hints of racism. Then there is one who always wants to blame it on the man. Dolson's fault. Boring and lazy takes and I told him as such 3 days ago and he's crawled back into his hole. What we all need is just a little patience. Come on now. Major roster shake up coming in hot. NIL still wildly high. There are some concerns. Even last years roster wasn't constructed to get down hill or shoot, it was play your strength, TJD, duh. If we don't look drastically different next year, then I'll pull out the retire now pitch fork. Since this is the overall staff thread, I'm fine with a head rolling if the brass seems fit but screw the optics. Only if we can actually improve the coaching and culture.

That's the post of the month unless someone predicting 6 game winning streak comes to pass.

Hoping Purdue puts up one of their classic stinkers.

https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/indiana-guard-xavier-johnson-out-indefinitely/ Woodson actually uses the word doubtful. Twice. Don't know the time frame he was referencing.

What a huge play by players and staff. Notice that Mbako was rolling to the basket. He wasn't just standing out on the wing hoping Trey would kick it out to him.

2 things he does exceptionally well. Communicates and competes. And those 2 little hand offs is just basketball 101. Penetrate and find an open man. Remember in the off season they asked who would you want in a street fight with you and the answer was Leal? Remember he's ridiculously strong for his size. Can't remember his bench numbers but it was up there.

I'm willing to bet my life savings Izzo has done some crying this year.

Probably only a matter of time before he's injured now then

He slobbed Izzo as well.

As the ball spins(pun for As the world turns soap opera). I'm lame. Did yall know Conner McCaffery is dating Kaitlin Clark. If you ever watched the B1G story on the McCaffery family you would actually like them, love the mom, and still dislike Fran. If Kaitlin becomes a lady Pacer, I'm down with their offspring playing for the hoosiers in 20 years.

What about McDermott is he squeaky clean enough for us? Didn't he have the FBI looking into him

Sorry bro. Just a realignment is all. You will come out better. I've heard this from many.

Speaking of moral compass. Did we remove Kinsey's name from the university yet?

Well I'd crap my pants.
