I don't know if I will ever get to see that again. Just totally unacceptable I feel the same way. I’m 70 years old, and beginning to think I won’t see another championship in my lifetime. 🙁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Very bad showing in the following areas: competitiveness, situational awareness, basketball IQ, hustle, fundamental skills, composure, sportsmanship, coaching, leadership and pride. What else sucked? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdave Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 (edited) I can handle losing, but I can’t handle losing in such an embarrassing fashion. Every single game on neutral/away floor against a decent team we get run out of the gym. We all knew we lacked perimeter scoring, but the careless turnovers, poor FT shooting, poor basketball IQ/senseless decisions (X, Mac) and poor intensity and effort (especially on the glass) should not be this bad this late in the season. I said it already but tonight further proves my argument that we’re in purgatory with this staff. I can give them the rest of the month to turn it around until for the first time ever I won’t watch games and just check the box score if we won.

X is not the leader we need. the offcourt crap and oncourt crap matter. i'll always watch and cheer on our team, but dang this sucks. Not me. Woodson sucks, this team sucks and we will not be playing in the post season. Dolson needs to make a change and get rid of Grandpa! I can't even stand to watch the horse crap play and coaching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Really apparent at this point that neither Mgbako or Ware are NBA ready... I think we'll see them both back next year...Ware had decent numbers (13 points, 17 boards), but he looked like he was just throwing the ball at the basket... But our senior leadership leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to getting this young team to play on the road... If I was the coach, XJ would sit the next game as well... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyResident16 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 3 minutes ago, Hippopotamo said: In 2016 I remember watching IU’s sweet sixteen game against UNC and being incredibly frustrated at what I was watching. I was 22. Little did I know that would be the last sweet sixteen before turning 30. This program is running out of chances to return to glory. Really disappointing to watch these types of games and see highly-ranked players play like a terrible team. My oldest is 24. Told him 5 years ago as a freshman at IU that it’s a damn shame he’ll likely never get to see IU as an elite program. I think the self-inflicted damage is far too reversible.

Kdug Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 3 minutes ago, Hoosier987 said: No way anyone can defend this showing. Airballs, turnovers, dumbfounding decisions, 4-15 from the free throw line. What a complete shit show. Simply a disaster. This team has no heart, they don’t care. Also, Rutgers is absolutely awful. 4-15 FT, 19 Rutger offensive rebounds, and 18 IU turnovers. All signs of undisciplined play and poor fundamentals. Completely unacceptable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyhoosier29 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Not sure why anybody would be surprised with that game. 4-15 FT 😂 19 OR given up 18 Turnovers Terrible substitutions Dumb player decisions Just a complete shit show, but what I expected. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier4Life53 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I hate to say it, but I’m not that upset, because my expectations are so low, and sadly I’ve come to expect this type of performance. Having said that, I still think we have the talent to make a run before the season is over, so I’ll keep watching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUCrazy2 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 2 minutes ago, IndyResident16 said: Single most gutless performance I’ve seen in 52 years. I’ve seen some undermanned IU teams play bad but tonight was the most embarrassing, pathetic display of basketball I’ve seen maybe ever as an IU fan. There have been worse but tonight wasn't very good. I know this is the optimistic part of our fanbase as far as online presence goes, so I have been treading lightly this year because I know people didn't want to hear it, but tonight wasn't a surprise. We haven't played very well all year. We are on life support and are going to need to see a miracle to make the NCAA tournament this year. I think the thing that is most frustrating is that our team and staff has done the definition of insanity for 3 years now. It is the same mistakes and from year to year and game to game. Woodson isn't going anywhere next year but some of the assistants need to go. Something needs a shake up. (And I am not talking guys like Calbert and Jordy, I mean actual named bench assistants. They need to bring in a teacher instead of having 3 recruiters.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier987 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Serious question…where is the direction of this program? It needs to be asked after a gutless performance like tonight 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Not much to say. Pretty predictable, and just a horrible performance from the coaching staff on down to the players. Horrendous lineups especially in the first half. It's like the coaching staff met these players for the first time tonight and knew nothing about them. Back to the two bigs clogging the paint again for the most part. The offensive system is like one step forward, two steps back. Then of course the players. Ridiculous turnovers, rebounding, free throw shooting and shooting in general. Just a really bad effort from top to bottom. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really tired of the young team thing. IA ST just beat #2 Houston. In the post game one of their players said “we’re a really young team that keeps growing.” Well that really young team just beat the only remaining unbeaten team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
