I feel like Woodson is brain dead too 😂

Me too.  His classic stare says to me “i dont know what to do now “

NBA players have bad games too. He’s been pretty consistently great for the last month before this game.

Agree.  But his weaknesses are glaring tonight.  Mast easily handled him.  Body on body that is.

Until there’s a different coach I don’t see that happening. Woodson is stubborn and thinks he knows better. 

And he seems surrounded by a few guys that are brain dead.  Just kinda have blank stares on their faces usually.  

Ware. 5 shots. 2 pts.   How would he survive in the NBA?

Maybe Indiana HS bball is overrated.

I hope Nebraska and Purdue both make deep runs in the NCAA tourney. The B1G has been so disrespected for too long now. If Nebraska plays like this they will be a tough out.

I doubt they have success playing this strategy against a well coached and more talented team. They are NOT a strong top 30 team.   The Big Ten is extremely bad this year.

It's really demoralizing how much more talent most of these teams have compared to us.

And smarts.

Whoever is actually in charge at IU needs to request an autopsy of the program. Hire a team of former coaches to analyze why they can't find success over multiple decades. 

Is it lacking facilities? Is it NIL? Is it negative recruiting? Is it the trainers? Is it coaching searches? Is it those close to the program creating issues? Anything and everything related to the program should be reviewed because something is wrong.

My hunch. Coaching searches.

Yeah, we aren’t playing well, but sometimes teams are just on fire. 
 

This is live by the three, die by the three offense. Tonight, they’re burning up the nets, but there’s going to be a game in the near future where they’ll lose because of it.

The key is balance. What is most effective is a blend of both these teams.

It works well against IU because we never have 5 guys in the floor working as a unit.  So, double and triple teams become a deadly weapon.    Why don’t we try to trap tominga once in awhile?    Where is that smothering XJ defender?

this can't be on Mike Woodson.  he doesn't take the shots or make plays.  he has done his job.  if you're questioning him you are not a true fan.  

Also, he had to cope with loss of 6yr PG XJ.  Really hindered development of the team.

We have one guy we have to stop and we cant.

I would put sparks in to block the lane and charge tominga hard. Yiu gotta do something different to break the flow.

I hate that they are beating our butts, but this Nebraska team is fun to watch. 

I admire Hoibergs smarts a lot. He kills woodson all around imo. 

Just cant get over the lil guy. Is there not a single 5 star athletic man on our team that will put him on the ground once ?   For god sakes we are SOFT.

They're double and triple teaming him...gotta hit shots out of the double team...we aren't doing it the last 8 mins. 

Guess our staff forgot how they beat us twice this way. 

Another soft RB by ware.  his hands are weak.   Loses ball even when he uses both hands. 

We are witnessing an absolute embarrassment.  Ware has ZERO pts. Isnt there anybody that can hit him with a strong high pass and follow for RB.

Sorry to beat a dead horse but I can’t bear to watch another year of this style of offense. No team has to fear us from beyond the arc and it becomes impossible to win when you’re so one dimensional. 

And when refs let hacking go unchecked in the paint. Its a joke

Stem the fnnn tide.  Time out 

Time out.   Lil guy is killing us. Layups too.  We have seen this before.   Hey coach.  Do something NOW.

Won’t beat Nebraska when they are making their 3s

I hate teams that rely only on 3s.  

Man Leal got hooked by tominga.  No call.    Ugg

Woody is pissed at Ware’s stupid lob pass in transition.   Good job Mike.  

Malik sooooo slow on moves.  Lousy pass.   Im nervous Ware will get called when he reaches in on his man.   Tell him to stop.   Easy foul to call.   

Sweeeet shot bako

Man.  Taco loves to shoot.
