He's a real leader of men and I can't imagine what coach I'd rather see IU have right now. What about a coach that eats off the floor? https://twitter.com/TCuppRadio/status/885948704573853698?s=20&t=7qZ7FYGeUQci_enKXmgwpg Edited January 30, 2022 by SawatchHoosier 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine anyone else stepping in when we were so down and reinvigorating the players, students and alumni like Woody has. I don’t think these guys were far off from achieving this last year under Archie. Point guard play is a huge upgrade but Archie laid a lot of fundamentals down with these guys…so I don’t want to give all the credit to Woody…the cupboard wasn’t bare…but certainly Woodys voice and leadership helped us turn the corner with them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will lose a lot of leadership and that ain’t easy to replace. That brotherhood is hard to find…hope they all think long and hard before moving on. I have got to believe that a shot (and I mean a good shot) at a NC will be remembered for the rest of their lives, even if some of them get an NBA title or 2. We could be very special next year if TJD, Race, & X come back with the added talent coming in.

btownqb Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 I just want to point out.. our entire staff is excellent. Woodson deserves tons of credit, but this is a staff that is fully equipped to be successful for a long time. We are developing, we are growing, we run excellent stuff offensively and defensively. We are in a really good spot. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) I didn't read through this entire thread so I'm probably repeating some things but... Xavier is continuing to improve and play more under control, while still maintaining his aggressiveness. Definitely a top PG in the Big 10. It was great seeing Lander step back in today and make a few plays...including stroking a nice looking 3 ball. Race's 3 ball is starting to fall. I think it was just a matter of him getting confidence in taking them during actual games, as I'm sure he was hitting a good amount in practice or he wouldn't have been putting them up like he was. If he can keep it up, it will open up the half court offense more, which should be good for everyone, especially TJD. TJD was really good as usual. Geronimo is really good, and you can see it starting to come together for him. Great job on the boards. He is going to be a special player. Galloway played a great game...as usual, lots of hustle plays and loved the dunk he got. Plays with such smarts and tenacity. Shout out to the CMW and staff. You can see both the team and individual players making strides, which is so refreshing to see. I want IU to be like MSU teams, which can sometimes struggle early, but almost always are much better towards the end of the season. Only negative I will mention is blocking out...they need to work on blocking out consistently. The good news is that is something that they can work on and if I have noticed it in a few games, I'm sure this coaching staff has and will address it in practice. Great job with free throws and limiting turnovers today. Great road win. Now they get a nice break to prepare for Illinois. Go Hoosiers!!

Reacher Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Steubenhoosier said: The more I watch, the more I wonder if Race isn’t the better pro prospect than TJD Possible. I guess it all boils down to who can find the best fit. It would not surprise me to see more guys getting to the NBA. With a good base of talent, I think Woodson will really develop guys and play a system that prepares them for the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BGleas Posted January 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just got home...a few observations. - XJ is in complete control of this team right now. It's really impressive, and that was maybe the best 1-for-8 performance I've ever seen. - Race is ridiculously strong. He gets so many 50/50 rebounds by the sheer strength of his hands and forearms. - Galloway is so important to this team on both ends. He's incredible defensively and he's so good in transition offensively. - This team seems to be in a place where everyone has really settled into their roles, everyone knows where to be and what is expected of them on both ends. I never felt that way with any Archie team. - Our defense is elite. Maryland isn't a good offensive team, but IU is an elite defensive team. Imagine the score if UMD didn't go 16-for-16 on free throws. - TJD, Race and JG erase a lot defensively. They completely control the paint. - We need to find a way to get Stewart and Kopp involved offensively. Things aren't going to be perfect. We're going to lose some games, but this team is really coming together and playing well as a unit. It's exciting. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronkonagurski Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 I was apprehensive about this game but IU played great! To not just win but assert control of the game in the 2nd half, that was fun to watch. Things are coming together! Can't wait to thump the Illiannoy next. 💪😎🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the difference between being a good team that can play with and potentially beat most good teams and being a really dangerous team. The defense and ball security make IU a tough out unless they run into a hot shooting team and can’t match the scoring 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, however, indisputably saving lives, reducing hospitalizations and there are daily sad stories of people needlessly dying because they were not vaccinated.
