Why did you start the thread complaining about the one guy who showed some heart tonight. In any event, he was 1-3 from 3, which was better than Juwan, Rob, Fitzner, etc., who you don't question about their shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I just don't understand how these players just can't step up and try to turn this around. How do these players let a team go on a 17-0 run and tonight a 22-0 run. If they could limit these 10 minute stretch where they play horrible and we can't just dig ourselves out of those holes.

iufaninand Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I’m afraid we’ve only seen the beginning of how far this season will take a free fall at this point. What motivation does any player on this team have to turn it around now? They’ve shown no willingness to do it to this point and it won’t magically appear. They’re each playing fir themselves and it won’t surprise me if we start seeing more “Injuries “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFFVETTE Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 This isn't an excuse, it just answered a question I had this week. They showed a chart of how many games all of the players have missed this year, and honestly in the 35 plus years of following college basketball I can't recall a team with such a profound injury bug.

If you don’t want to see anything negative about the IU basketball program right after they just got destroyed by Rutgers for their seventh straight loss, you should probably just stay off the internet for the next couple days. Nope. Easy to be the “pile on” guy. Don’t think that they got “destroyed “. Hyperbole much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierburgh Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Despite two potential NBA players, the one word that comes to mind when watching them play other teams over the last month is "overmatched". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Tom Crean missed the tournament with 3 NBA players on his roster, possibly achieving this feat twice depending on what happens with Morgan. Should definitely bring him back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were down 14 with 12 minutes left and ended up losing by 8. To Rutgers. But sure, we can quibble over the definition of “destroyed.” That’s really all there is left to discuss this season.

HOOSIER1321 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 So Juwan isn’t an NBA player? I don’t care about recruiting rankings. But since you mentioned it. What was Romeo ranked? This is just silly. But you’re right. Once he gets his guys we will finally overcome the mighty Rutgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierJax Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I really thought when IU signed Romeo he was was going to be the missing piece and get IU started towards being a dominant force again... ..wrong, as it stands now its as if we are back when Crean was coach and had signed Vonleh and that season was a disaster...just like this one.

Hyperbole much? How many losses in a row do we have to reach before you concede there is at least some concern? Don't get me wrong, I'd say I was on the back half of "questioning" or whatever you want to call it. For the record, I can't say I'm calling for any heads...but I will definitely settle into apathy/less concern caring about IU basketball until we can at least make it back into the tournament. You can say I'm not being a good fan, but this fanbase will dwindle to about 20-30% of what it has been if we continue to be this irrelevant. I am no better if I don't question Archie this season the same way I did when Tom Crean missed the tourney with Noah Vonleh. Very similar situation IMO and I have to judge accordingly.

Do you remember the press conference when Archie got hired? Pretty sure the standards were set higher than this. But we will get through this. And next year we just might take Rutgers down finally.
