HoosierFaithful Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 The difference between the top and the bottom of the conference has never been smaller.

But you are correct in that we went on a nice little streak. With that said. That included a really poor game at Minny and a non competitive game at MD. Not sure Minny should count, but to their defense, good teams find a way to win when they play poorly. We just can’t seem to find some consistency. If you look back at the month of February, it was very up and down for us. Don't think that bodes well for winning 6 in a row. Really the three non-Purdue wins this month were very ugly (Michigan, Illinois, Rutgers). We've got about two weeks to figure out whatever tweaks need to happen so we are playing at that Purdue level every game or we could very well get sent home in the first weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier4Life53 Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Based JHS’s performance tonight, he would be wise to come back next year, but the NBA drafts on potential, and he showed plenty of that against Purdue. He’s more than likely gone, but it sure would be nice to have him back, and let him and Reneau go to work.

Shoot Iowa St has lost 8 of 10. TCU 6 of 9. That's not trending the right way. Disappointed and pissed off for tonight? Sure. Let's not totally dismiss what this team has accomplished over the last 60 days down players though. This is a good team that is as capable as anyone to make a run. Need to beat Michigan. After that see what happens in Chicago and after that we hopefully get a top 4 in Louisville or Columbus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Hoopsier Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 I’m not torn up that we lost to Iowa. I’m apoplectic to the sleep walking our way through that game. Hell, an Iowa player blew a kiss to our fans and we had NO ONE with enough give a crap to award him with enough blood to get kicked out of the game. Woody has done a bunch for mental toughness for this group, but it was obvious who were men tonight and who were boys. god I hate Fran 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand, and hopefully we bounce back big against Michigan on Sunday, but just saying the last five games, with exception of Purdue, haven’t been pretty. We barely beat Illinois at home, and they were without their best player. We need to get on a roll going into the post season. Right now we’re on a roller coaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dismissing how bad we played tonight at all. It happens. These kids have been on full tilt since August. Maybe a late season wtf was that moment could put them over the hump in a year of no clear favorite? Not happy with tonight but not going to throw the season in the trash can because of a bad 40. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely can happen - they've got a decent break between now and Sunday, and then another hopefully 4 days before the BTT. Lots of time to regroup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the ruckus Dale would have been in over the kiss thing. Hell wasn’t Detroit pretty “aggressive” when Woody was on staff there for the championship? mom sorry for the pacifists but we were punked tonight and it will be the message across the land. XL Johnson would have manned up. I’m actually a little surprised he didn’t come off the bench and send a messsage. That was crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Steubenhoosier said: 1. Purdue win means nothing now. 2. This team is nowhere near mature enough to handle success and build on it. 3. TJD accolades mean nothing. Who cares about the stats when he has led the team to zero championships. 4. Some players better check their egos and realize that the last game is irrelevant to the next opponent. 5. Coaches did their worst job this season in the most important game. 6. This was done without Fran having to get even close to the Francon scale. I think that pisses me off almost as much as… 7. Now having to put up with all my PUke buddies rubbing this in my face I'll add something.... 8. Who is excited for next season??? Raise your hand....

ButlerHoosier Posted March 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 2 hours ago, IUFLA said: Hey, I understand... I'm pissed too... We never really made a run at them in the second half, and I'm disappointed as hell about it... And to be honest when the camera panned to Race and Trayce on the bench with about 2 minutes to go laughing, I thought, "there's not a thing funny about this." I saw that and was thinking what is so funny? You are literally getting smoked at home by 20 points. 20 points! The season isn't over yet. It then panned to JHS and he looked distraught! It seemed like he understood the gravity of the game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuthruandthru Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 I was really hoping XJ would come in for some garbage time in the 2nd half. He was warming up and looked pretty mobile. I suspect he is not clear but this team needs him to come back and take Bates minutes with the second unit. XJ also would have made sure that douche #20 got bumped around a little bit.

IUguy Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 They are just so inconsistent! You never know which IU team will show up. I thought this was a defense first team. Not tonight! Maybe we can drop down to a six seed. Better than a 4 or 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
