Kdug Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Hard to feel remotely confident in this one. Even good IU teams can’t win at Wisconsin. In my opinion, it feels like we need XJ to start acting like a 6th year senior if we want this, and most of our remaining games vs good competition, to be close. He feels like our best chance at getting impact guard play. Unfortunately that really just shows how big of a weakness our guards are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think if you want to get better you kick him off of the team. The players will respond one of two ways, and that’ll tell you a lot about them either way. Our best lineup, and one of the best in the country, is actually Cupps, Galloway, Mgbako, Reneau, and Ware. Play those 5 as much as you can, rotate in Walker and Gunn to spell guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be fine with doing that and start developing for next year. But that’d basically be waving the white flag on this season. Do you have the lineup stats for those 5 you referenced? I can’t find anywhere that has them for free. It’s tough for me to buy that’s one of the better lineups in the country when one of them is the 3rd worst offensive player in the big ten by offensive rating.

Since we have ZERO other dawgs, bring me kelvin sampson and 7 more XlJohnsons. 30 years of "do it our way" to the bottom. Houston is ..... FVCKING houston is top 10, another Sampson team WINNING.

I love LOVE LOVE IU, but this is more brutal than 3 divorces and losing 2 houses. I follow IU bball like I am looking for an infection that burns when I pee. and pay good money for the burn. I swear I must be slickdexlic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Obie Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) IU will lose the next 3 games. Hate to say it, but no way we win at Whiskey. They live for this -- those people have nothing better to do. Maybe ice fishing, I dunno. Edited January 20 by Officer Obie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier987 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) We are never healthy lol. It’s amazing. Gone are the days of people playing hurt. Hell it wasn’t that long ago Gordon was playing with a freaking broken wrist or Hulls with a dislocated shoulder. Those would be season ending in today’s game. Players are soft today.

I wonder if Woodson will just slide Sparks in as a starter or if he’ll shake things up. Last time Ware was out he went with Sparks. I expect o different tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when given the opportunity we haven’t seen it. That’s why I’m skeptical things will change next year even if we’re supposedly gonna hit the portal hard.
