Haha The writers do a fantastic job of developing the evil characters on the show; to the point you really grow to despise them and want to see them die a miserable death. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 A 12-4 run by Illinois in the last 3 minutes in the first half Another dumb flagrant foul by Johnson at the end of the half 8-0 run by Illinois in the last minutes of the 2nd half when the game was tied IU had solid leads on multiple points during the game but lacked the discipline to stick with what was working 0-9 from 3 point range....first time in 14 years to go 0fer? Illinois is another team that shoots low from the field and beats IU. They shot 37% Missed too many free throws; shooting 12/22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJay Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 a gritty effort last night, not sure what it means in the long run especially if Malik is out for any extended time but they haven't quit which I like. I will say this that team doesn't win that game a month ago. Really happy for Anthony Leal kid deserves it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenatorFan Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Am I the only one that just wants to pull the cover up over my head and say, “tell me when this season is over”? I would have rather seen us bench everyone and put 5 walk-ons on the floor in the second half. I don’t claim to have the answers, I just know that what we just watched isn’t it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 No life in them. The crowd did great trying to keep them in the game, and get them back in. 9 games left. What's the over/under? They might win 3 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJay Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 we are literally a year away from being Michigan or U of L . Exact same situation . NBA coach who’s struggling at his college Alma mater. And they now are the laughing stock of college hoops it’s sad . If Dolson is too dumb to do anything about it and try and fix it before it gets worse then were in for a long difficult few years here boys . I know he won’t do anything this year no matter how bad the rest of the season gets. I do think that one of the assistants will be made the scape goat . Not sure who . But I think the pressure of next season will be too much for Woodson . honestly I was ok with giving Archie 1 more year because of COVID and the Same for Tom Crean he would have nice bounce back years . Don’t ask me why but I’ve seen enough of Mike Woodson . I wanted him to succeed who wouldn’t ? If Mike Woodson is still the head basketball coach at Indiana University in May of 2025 I’ll be shocked . But he won’t be fired before then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJay Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Well 2 tough gritty comeback wins with an absolutely dreadful performance stuck in between. I can't even begin to make sense of this basketball team. Galloway looked like the reincarnation of Damon Bailey last night and Reaneu looked like an All Big Ten guy. Anthony Leal HAS to start being more of a part of the offense going forward. That might have been the nail in the coffin for Chris Holtman 8 games left BUT 3 of the next 5 vs teams that are vs the top 4 in the conference. I'm sure an A** kicking awaits Saturday in WL especially after last year and the Boilers are coming off 8 days of rest. After that who knows anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impartial_Observer Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 My two cents worth…..go ahead and get some of those 5 stars……but man you gotta beat the bushes and find some of those kids….that know how to compete, that know how to work, that have a chip on their shoulder….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishman Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Might be my fault for jinxing them, but I texted friends when Purdue was up 15-12 that the 12-11 lead IU had would likely be their last lead in the game. oooops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impartial_Observer Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Sadly what appeared to be a promising night for IO saw Mrs IO say IU sucked in a rather pissy tone and said I’m going to bed…….and here I sit opining to you schleps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJay Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Noted College basketball social media insider Trilly Donovan . I agree that Woodson is safe , unless McNeely were to Decommitt . But the pressure of expectations to preform next year is going to be such that I’m not sure Woodson will be able to handle . Don’t get me wrong replacing a coach every 4 years is not something I’m all about hope Woodson gets it turned around. don’t really want to talk about the “next head coach” but I’m in agreement that if Woodson is gone we should be prepared for the Dusty May era in Bloomington . He’s Tom Crean with IU connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJay Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 More from Trilly Donovan . As you can tell donors still consider IU a blue blood with the same expectations as programs like UK. Until an IU coach finds consistency which is possible at IU donors are clearly gonna continue to pony up buyouts . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJay Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Word on the street (Trilly Donovan college hoops insider) Chris Holtman's firing at OSU has gotten the attention of important people in Bloomington. Fear is with several Mid-west P5 opening our friend in Boca Rotan FLA getting snatched up. "feelers" whatever that means have been put out in the back channels. Of course Woodson mouth pieces like Rabjohns are trying to down play the situation, but wouldn't deny the facts. As it stands today with 7 games left......... 0-7 or 1-6 some serious conversations will be had in regards to his future 2-4 wins for better or worse hes back next year but on a Kenny Payne level hot seat 5+ wins things calm down a bit and people see what they do in the portal this spring but still on shaky ground Dear lord here we go again 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJay Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Trilly predicts 5-star Big man and teammate of IU comitt Liam McNeeley to Maryland. IU loses out on the Big man to arguably the only program having as big of a let down this year as IU...…. insult meet injury. BS rumor told to IU people was IU could not convince Queen that Ware was bound for the pros ........ sure This means most likely a 1 man 2024 class for IU, beyond sad. IU will most likely bring in 7-8 portal players, as much a Woodson laments about how hard it is to get new/young guys to play together seems like not the ideal strategy for turning the program around, I still am of the belief his Ole buddy Buckner will get him one more year BUT next year will just be too much pressure on a 66 year old coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impartial_Observer Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 @EasyEJay this is the big issue I see for IU. The natives have been clamoring for an “IU guy”, well they got him…….now what? After and endless parade of throw away coaches and poor hires, perhaps we need to look more closely at the people making the hires. IU has been irrelevant big time college sports for years, judging from recent history if you’re an IU fan, I’d get used to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJay Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Couldn't agree more, Pretty obvious famed son and member of the board of Trustees Quinn Buckner had a big hand in getting his buddy Mike Woodson hired. This is the way things operate at IU and I have a feeling its going to get worse before it gets better. Also take a look at this video made about the NY Knicks 10 years ago ? Anything on it sound familiar lol ? https://youtu.be/Mi5CpP2Di5c?si=qXk4tQZ2G5sMIgC0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muda69 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 What is the deal with these gawd awful black/grey uniforms both the IU men and women's teams have sported over the last couple of games? They are hideous, and look like some reject from an AAU team. And the last I checked black/grey wasn't in the IU school color scheme. Gid rid of them. Fast.

A deal with an Adidas designer 2 schools were picked to feature them Miami also wore them as well , Yes not a good look the designer did post a video of the Cream colored alternates he preferred but I can't imagine you will see anything similar the rest of the year. Woodson even voiced his displeasure of them on the radio Monday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJay Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 FWIW , Sent to me today Rabjohns on peegs has been pretty steadfast in assertion that Woodson would be the coach. Well in his weekly update the tone has for sure changed. Now, to the coaching situation. Countless people have asked, so I’m going to do my best to lay out what I’ve gathered the past 48 hours or so: I don’t want to make it a day to day thing, but to ignore the crescendo of fan sentiment right now would be akin to standing in front of a 15-car pileup at the Dayton 500 and discussing the pretty logos on the infield grass. Fans are hot. Former players have been reaching out to the administration in more direct tones. There are people around current players who are, shall we say, less than thrilled with Woodson calling players “awful,” etc., in public. People are announcing here on the board that they are pulling five-figure donations. In short, the temperature in the room is getting rather toasty. As things stand today, it seems the likely scenario is that the season plays out, end of season meetings occur and a decision one way or another is made. I do think Woodson will be asked to lay out a plan for how he would right the ship. Quinn Buckner, former IU great and the chairman of the IU board of trustees, has, we’ve been told, made it clear he feels Woodson deserves a fourth year to get things turned around. There are some big boosters who are behind Woodson as well. Now, what will the temperature in the room be like at the end of the season? Time will tell on that. I do expect the rest of the regular season to play out. I do not expect Indiana to follow Ohio State’s footsteps and fire a coach in-season. IU has five regular-season games remaining plus the Big Ten Tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
