Hoosier987 Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) Our bench hurt us and not having X in this game limited us. Maybe this game will cause a smaller rotation. They smelled blood in the water and pressured our guards all day. Edited December 9, 2023 by Hoosier987 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying the seasons will play out the same. In 1989 we gave up over 100 points 3 times which were the first 3 times a RMK teams had given up 100 points. Everything looked bleak because we couldn't beat the top teams UNC, Syracuse and UL. That team ended up winning the big ten despite the big ten being great that year. Bob Knight isn't coaching this team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat Kansas next week. Just a bad day at the office. Kudos to Auburn. With Trey out early with foul trouble, no Xavier.....they took advantage of our weakest link. It's one game. Get the kids home. Grab their attention a little bit this week and I expect a much better version next Saturday. No need for the doom and gloom. It was an a-- kicking. That's it. It isn’t doom and gloom to call a spade a spade, though. This team has played two teams with a pulse this year and lost by a combined 48 points. Im going to do my best to avoid sweeping statements for now, but that isn’t close to good enough at Indiana. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Looking forward to next weekend. Lots to dissect and figure out for the staff. Hopefully X can come back and be effective. P.S. - I don’t think many expected us to do much this season, if we’re being honest. That being said, we just weren’t competitive today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent is better under Woodson, but what’s different about the brand of basketball? We are winning more and actually making the tournament. We finished second in the big ten last year. Those things are different 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTrojan88 Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) I said it in the game thread and I’ll say it here. Until Woodson decides to shrink the rotation to 7 or 8 and make guys earn their playing time, nothing will change. He also needs to be more strategic with when he subs. Swapping 4 or 5 out at a time, especially when you have momentum is simply ignorant. Crean and Archie level stuff.

5fouls Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 1 minute ago, Hoosierdave said: What’s most frustrating to me about that game was Auburn played hard and fast until the very end. Effort was the #1 factor in the game. And, the #2. And #3, etc. IU needs to show more pride. They were not going to win the game as well as Auburn played. But, it could have easily been a 10-12 point game with better effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that we have a lot to dissect. I will say that more often than not we find ourselves saying this is a rebuild season…myself included. I’m just tired of having to say it and think it 4 out of every 5 years. It’s very frustrating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I’m not qualified to question anything Woodson does, so I’ll let the guys with crimson glasses try to justify that decision to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94hoosier Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 74 points should have gave us a chance. Auburn hit a ton of step back and push off and stop shots. They shot way above there average. I know everybody seems too. The holloway kid hasn’t shot well must of the year and hit a bunch of challenged shots. Not our day. Maybe the illness running through the team had something to do with. Probably never will know. Need to see play with more effort and passion On to next game Bring in Kansas. another tough matchup 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way Cupps plays. But that Holloway kid is exactly the same size and age as Gabe. What a contrast today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent is better under Woodson, but what’s different about the brand of basketball? I’m not an expert on X’s and O’s. But Woodson has made the tourney 2 out of 2 times, with a top 4 seed one of those times. We’ve also recruited at a way higher level. Woodson isn’t the best college coach, but it’s night and day vs Archie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where that is coming from. I saw three McD's boys, a six year and a four year guard and thought we should be good. The guards have not been good enough, and that was certainly true today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indykev Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 We just lost to a team that just lost to Appalachian St. and by 26. You rose colored glass wearing fans think we will beat KU next week? Come on. WE HAVE NO GUARDS THAT CAN SHOOT!!! When teams start making 3's we have no answer to that. B.Pearl in the pre-game said IU was a tournament team and maybe good enough to make the 2nd weekend. I think he over rated us. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Looks like another day of the big ten struggling against top teams. I just turned it on UW vs Arizona and Arizona is up 59-38.

It looked like we showed some during the first 5 min of the second half where it made me believe we could get it to single digits. Short-lived thought. Auburn was also a tougher team.
