According to DD that RMK told him he was going to retire but can't remember what year and that DD would get the job. My fear was that once RMK left that Pat would get the job at IU. It is funny that last night watching the AJ podcast with DJ White and you could tell he was no fan o DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been a scorer and ball handler. Bigger guard. If he's good enough to deserve 20 minutes a game while Rob and Al take more of a back seat as Lander continues to grow. I can hope. There is always hope. Lots of ball to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just the rankings a few minutes ago and noticed that OU is ranked 9th with a record of 12-5 and 7-4 in conference. Those 3 games I am talking about we would be 12-5 and 6-4 so we could be ranked around that spot. The reason OK is ranked that high is that they have 4 wins against top 10 teams. We would have wins against UI, Iowa, UW and FSU. I know none of this really matters but it shows the thin line from being mediocre to being a top 10 team.

Actually Dakich is exactly what the program needed at that time in my opinion. He didn’t take any crap from the players and instead of letting the team control the program the coach took back over. That’s one thing I’ll always be grateful of from DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Keith Smart doesn't hit that shot, we only have 4 championships. Heck, if the LSU kid hits his FTs, or Rick Calloway doesn't have that put-back, we're not even in the Final 4 that year. The reality is that we are 9-8 (4-6). That's not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what exactly does that say about those "couple of guys" who turn it up to accomplish this major turn around? Have they been jaking it this whole time?

dbmhoosier Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 As far as the plan goes, I'm sure they're planning to bring Archie back for year 5. However, as soon as the Celtics season is over this year they'd better call up Brad's agent and throw the bank at him. Assuming he says no and that's most likely Archie gets another year where he's coaching for an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they come in every game locked in ready to play and bringing fire and urgency? You think they are playing their best ball? I sure don’t. All of them locking in and buying in and playing like their season is on the line....because it is! They need to play with almost a controlled desperation. If you think all those guys have given us their best basketball then we truely are in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Our season is on the line the next 10 days. Tournament or just. It’s all right there. Archie can put the talk to rest if he and his team executes. If we go back to 500 the rest of the way it isn’t going to be enough. I don’t think we really need to discuss it much...at this point it’s indisputable that it will come down to the wins and losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Off the top of my head and correct me if I’m wrong... 5-6 is where IU stands. Below .500 in the conference. Outside looking in on the NCAAT right now. Important stretch coming for this squad. Sure would be terrible to host the NCAA tournament and not participate.

We need to get to 0.500, IMO, to be in. I doubt we make up the two postponed games which would mean we need to get to nine wins. 0.500 in B1G play was what I felt was the bare minimum to be acceptable this year. Get there and my attitude improves a whole lot. I hope like heck we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippopotamo Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I think 4 wins going into the conference tournament gets us in the tourney. Just can’t be .500 or under. The quality of wins will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would get us to at least 15-12. .500 in the conference this year should get us in, considering our strength of schedule. If we can get another win against a ranked opponent in there without a bad loss, that would help the resume, since we only have the two wins against Iowa.

IUFLA Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Does anyone know what our longest winning streak is this year? 2 Does anyone know what our longest losing streak is? 2 Vin Scully once said of an 80s Dodgers team... "This is such a .500 team they'd split a 3 game series." Time to get on a roll now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 We can lock this Thread. I was told tonight by someone as close to the program as i've ever talked to, that Dolson loves Archie, still believes Archie was the right choice and quote, loves the direction the program is headed under Archie. They said Archie will be here as long as he has years on his contract and that Dolson was talking extension to help Archie with recruiting.

If he truly believes Archie is the man, then an extension is a necessity to help with recruiting. But, it's his job on the line as well, if it does not work out.
