IUDan93 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 This season seems to be going south. None of us know how CAM will do at IU, but the guy is a good coach and it is hard to imagine that we would be able to go out an find much better. It is possible that Crean left the program not much better than he found it, and that the termites have dined well and deep on this once blue blood program. If we are not top 2-3 in Big Ten by year 5 or 6, than it likely won't happen. Would have liked Morgan to have a successful team his Senior year. I guess he went 0 for 4.

These things don't happen over night. Archie has been here for less than two years. He's just gonna come in and make us incredible with a snap of his fingers? Get real. How long have you been preaching that? This isn’t the first great hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team just sleeps walk through games and it is disturbing that they can't come out with a lot of emotion and energy against Purdue. I guess I have to realize that the IU basketball I grew p no longer exists. Watching games it made me wonder who was the first coach to decide it is better to play basketball with a lot of dribbling over passing and moving. What use to make basketball so great to watch was there was always movement with little dribbling. You can always watch golden st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of respect for the board I'll keep it clean but us not hiring the right guy and changing every 5 years is where were at. Like I said, not willing to throw in the towel but I am not willing to do a five year rebuild before I judge either. This team has had injury issues and I get thematic but we appear to be lesser than the sum of our parts to me. I do not know if that is an Archie problem or a chemistry issue, but we have not been worth a crap in the almost 20 years since I left IU. That was do to bad hires and sticking with the wrong guys well past their expiration date. Glass made a questionable football hire in my mind and Archie had the pedigree but I want wins. Tired of moral victories and waiting. I know this program is capable of so much more than we have seen the last 20 years. If there are players that are a problem, they need to be told to leave. We have pieces on this team that should be performing better than they are, injuries or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if y'all expected our roster to have different players today. You don't think Romeo, Morgan, and a roster of four stars is enough to beat Nebraska at home or show a pulse in a rivalry game?

CincyHoosier Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 It's one thing to rebuild and not quite get over the hump for a few years. It's another thing entirely when you arent competitive with Nebraska and Purdue. This isn't pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie was a good hire for what IU bball is in the present. All due respect, if you make your hires based on where you are at in the present, you are never getting very far. I am trying to be patient but the patience is worn very thin. It is not just the losing (which ticks me off to begin with) it is the inept way in which we are losing that really has me irritated.
