As a former coach watching IU makes me want to puke on a daily. It truly is astonishing that this staff can put together such a poorly constructed team. as you know 1st hand at most high school jobs you deal the hand given but these guys were hand picked by the IU staff. Being 100% honest I have not watched the last 3 games and just check in a few times during the game to see the score. I did listen to the last 3 min of Illinois and just enough to get my hopes up again just to realize we have no killers on this team. (APATHY HAS SET IN) Teams in Indiana more enjoyable to watch than IU mens team IU WOMENS Team Pacers Most high school teams In St PU The Greensburg 3rd and 4th grade YMCA team and I don't know any of the kids. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move the ball guys hit shots lots of assist they paly fast and oh yeah the win. Not too late to jump on the Sycamore Bandwagon still lots of room. You will feel better after the game also. Woody and staff watch some of that video and get some guys here who can do those things and maybe you have a chance to win in todays game otherwise we will continue to suck. It must be all those 5 star guys they bring to Terre Haute. FG 3PT FT 33-65 12-29 17-20 50.8 % 41.4 % 85.0 % I graduated from ISU. I am a fighting tree!! I was there when ISU knocked off IU in like 2001 or 2002, can't remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not but nice try. they have lost twice this year t0 2 teams in the top 10. I said more enjoyable to watch and a better brand They make more 3's per game than the men's team attempts but if putting them down makes you sleep better at night go right ahead and knock yourself out. 1 of the IU basketball teams will be in the NCAA tournament and I would bet everything I own its not the Men's team 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a question. I dont follow them if what I am doing with the Women's team is wrong, what is happening with everyone else and the men's team? Go through the Women's thread. They can't simply celebrate them, but have to drag the men's teams through the mud while doing so. Edited January 29 by ledies22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't post about them, I gave my thoughts on teams in Indiana that are more enjoyable to watch. I expected push back because I put PU on there but they play good basketball and I like to watch good basketball. No offense taken and men's play is what gets them drug through the mud. Maybe I am too old school in my thinking but if you don't want people to say those things then shut them up with your play. Unfortunately our team supports what many fans are saying and have done little to nothing to change that. IMO the women should be applauded for what they are doing and it might not pan out to a championship or a final 4 but I don't think we are being too critical on the mens team either. Playing basketball at Indiana comes with a lot of criticism if its not good but with even more praise and accolades when it is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Men's teams absolutely deserves criticism. not saying they dont. Half of the critiques I am hearing are counterintuitive, or hypocritical.

For me I like to watch things that bring enjoyment and this team just has not been enjoyable for me. 10 years ago I would still watch no mater what but now there are more options I guess and spending time with my wife and kids watching something they like is more enjoyable than watching this product by myself getting frustrated why a D1 player can't hit a ft or open shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
