DWB

Watched most of the IL v WI game. The movement, the PACE of movement, the intensity, on both teams, was literally LIGHT YEARS ahead of our lack-a-dayzical, pathetic offense.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you !!

I am one of the older (if not the oldest HSN member). I was agnostic on Woodson's hire. What he did as a player is irrelevant (at least to me) when it comes to coaching. RMK wasn't even a regular rotation player in college. Probably saw more time than Leal did in his 1st 3 years, but not much). RMK turned out OK as a coach. Personally I don't think age is a determining factor, one way or the other. Your recent post concerning Pearl is very accurate. He's older than May by a bunch, but he's proven himself to be a winner, as you said. I agree. FWIW, I'm in the Dusty May camp myself. Not solely because he went to the Final 4 last year, but because he's built a very competitive team from nothing, at a school that many haven't even heard of. FAU is almost like the Hickory of Hoosiers movie in my mind. I like Dusty's background. former manager for IU, worked his way up, paid his dues, he's earned a shot at the big time. And with his work ethic, I believe he'll succeed no matter where he ends up. I would certainly accept Dusty as a new hire, far more than keeping Woodson around. Because I've seen what comes with Woodson, and I'm not convinced it will get any better. His NBA experience has made him accustomed to loosing on a regular basis. A.500+ record in the pros can get you in the playoffs. That is a helluva lot different than .500+ in college.

Certainly a possibility. But not a probability in my mind. I think we'll be an absolute $hitshow. Little Sisters of the Poor and Paraplegic State will be close games, and we'll still find a way to lose.

Next year will give Crean's first year, a run for the money.

No $hit Sherlock....

G'night boys. Fat lady is warming up, and humming very loud in the background

We're just standing around on offense. If we moved ½ as fast as we play D, we'd be unstoppable.

"Men Boinking Animals"

And the Ref's ignoring it

MSU taking to PUke right now. PU might be the 1st team to ever lose TWICE to a 16 seed...

Either he is, or he isn't. In both cases, it isn't working....probably enough blame to spread evenly to MR & CMW Edit: Or the same reason the rest of our basic fundamentals don't exist.

Hard to imagine you can put that much stupid into one head... https://www.theburningplatform.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/5dcf6260c68e59c7.mp4?_=1 Then look at the make & model of the car when she's done... Amazing....

Did it to Mich in ‘76….

Reviewed the stat sheet this morning: Positives: Guards finally started rebounding. Got 10 boards out of 31. D was great on Baldwin. Negs: 12 turnovers, 5 of them by Reneau. 3 by X. Only 13 assists. 0-5 from deep from Taco. And we didn't run. PSU had more fast breaks than we did. That shouldn't happen. Definitely an ugly, ugly game. And yet we were able to gut out a win.

It's starting to look like the only person MR will pass to is Ware. Leal & Taco are wide open on the perimeter while he's getting triple teamed, and he forces up a horrible shot.

9 pm game tomorrow nite

Ware for the overall game, but Leal has become 6th man of the year late in the season. If Woodson would've played him 2 seasons ago, he'd be far higher on the valuable list. I'd prefer he'd start over Cupps.

I have yet to see 1 pass fake, or shot fake from us this entire game. Obviously, great coaching.

I think they all took at a nap at halftime and haven't woken up yet. I can make a cut harder than any of the IU guys and I have an artificial knee and can't run.

So far, Cupps has played better than I expected. Thought Baldwin would take him to school. So far Cupps has held his own.

I bet not

Not sure what that does. You've got Gunn (supposedly a guard) and Banks. Not being used. Whose to say another bench player would get time even if needed?

PSU ended the half on a 13-2 run for a sizeable lead. I'll read about the 2nd half finish in the morning. Game's not that entertaining.

Maybe we should do an "over/under" pool before the portal opens up, and then do the update a week after it opens. My guess is we'll have a max of 4 returning scholly's (assuming Gallo & Leal don't change their minds)
