I've always been a huge IU basketball fan. And now I don't even know when the games are or who we are playing next. I just don't care. It's embarrassing to me and I've got other things in life more important
I was so excited when they announced that Woodson would be the new coach one of ours I do think the first couple of years the culture changed it brought some Bob knight fans back. Now that has faded and we see that Woodson for some reason can't keep the talent in indiana here we need three point shooters to keep up in the big ten it's just not there I hate to see him go but there are alot of talented coaches out there you fixed the football problem now put some money in the basketball program or we will be left behind and be a football school we can be both.
We see the same issues with the team every year. It doesn't matter if we return players or bring them in from winning teams. We can't rebound, play defense, or hit open shots.
You mean NCAA tournament? EVERY team makes their conference tournament unless you get a postseason ban by the NCAA or just get ruled INELIGIBLE. But yes, IU in big trouble of missing the big dance
I've watched a lot of ball so far this year. Washington, Minnesota and USC will finish under us. Every other team is absolutely capable of finishing ahead of us.
@christianfernandez3068 not this year... because of the Big Ten expansion the Big Ten tournaments only except in the top 15 teams this year for the tourney
We will preferred the “worst experiment” to work. But there is 200% evidence that it isn’t and won’t. Why do you/or should we, care about whatever money is needed to get rid of him and fix this. We weren’t one of the 5 ppl that paid for the roster and or whatever else. We care about winning games and playing a brand of ball we can be proud of. There’s no way for Woodson to come back from another underachieving season. He’s already getting blasted and destroyed on all recruiting trails. That’s by other schools/coaches/& players alike. Woodsons “honeymoon phase” is over. Now we all see the true colors showing through. There’s a clear ceiling (top 3 BT & round of 32)
I never understood why Nate Oates of Alabama, Porter Moser of Oklahoma and Shaka Smart of Marquette were not in the conversation when Woodson was hired.
In my opinion, AD Scott Dolson didn't have any say in the hiring. It was all Quinn Buckner and Steve Ferguson making that hire and it's a shame. It hasn't worked out, morale is nearing a historical low and after the season, these guys need to move out of the way and let Scott do his job.
Coach Cig has proven that the right coach can turn a program around year one!! Pearl and Beard have WON everywhere they have been and either would wake up this Indiana basketball fan base that is sick and tired of being sick and tired of watching a horribly coached team!!
I really wanted Woody to succeed! However, I think we have enough evidence to prove that he can not. I feel this team will be lucky to finish in the top half of the conference. It’s past time to move on.
I have been and still am I Huge Iu fan in general. I have always printed a basketball schedule off for a long time however, this year we are how many games into the season and have yet to print one off this year. SAD.
The players are also accountable. The expected improvement in guard play is'nt anything consistent. If Woodson wants up tempo the front court needs to be faster.
Yes. Here in Chicago the Bears are looking for a new head coach. They said Pete Carrol is interested; but the view is that "the game has passed him"...i.e. running the ball and defense no longer wins. I think the same for IU basketball; I just do not think he has a good handle on recruiting and transfer.
Honestly, I was really impressed with the first 6 games: from Tennessee to UNC Greensboro. Battle 4 Atlantis was the first disappointment. However, considering the two loses to Louisville and Gonzaga gave me nothing to be impressed at.
I've never been a fan of this hire. Woodson has NEVER been a good coach. This is exactly why you also don't hire Alford. Not a great coach and not what IU needs to move forward. THere are others out there, young coaches, experiences coaches who would be a breath of fresh air. Bruce Pear and Shaka Smart are a couple names that come to mind quickly.
We're at a crossroad. Go all in on football or continue to invest time, $ and energy in a BB program that hasn't been prominent in over 2 decades? Dolson has serious decisions to make. I just hope he makes the right ones.
@michaelbradley7199 I wondered if Dolson's hands were tied with the BB program. No wonder he's putting more emphasis on FB. And we all know what the NCAA thinks of IU BB. So that also works unfavorably.
Big Ten power rankings update...#14 Indiana, that a joke...it's too high...lol..what a big disappointment this season has been....sad...4 yrs of Woodson and this is what we have #14 power rankings in the Big Ten😢
Top 5 roster, probably 60th best team. Coaching is everything, Woodson is lazy in recruiting but gets bailed out by a huge NIL bankroll and still can’t coach a talented roster.
Woodson is the Indiana version of Juwan Howard at Michigan. A great player but a below average coach..... Indiana is still looking for its next Bob Knight.
Who’ does Indiana have on this team with real nba talent?? Paying a bunch of guys to play that cant play defense and have little offense ability.. so you gotta ask yourself is this a really good team… from what I’ve seen NO … and Woodson doesn’t hep either… I can’t wait to see Michigan play Indiana… those guys play hard for 40 minutes
A nice man but not a good coach. IU isn't a top coaching job anymore. Hopefully they can find a young, up and coming coach because they have been horrible hiring since Bob Knight.
We need to move away from Mike Woodson since he is just not coaching in an effective way. I remember that Bruce Pearl said IU is his dream to coach. Now he is a coach that does what he needs to do to adapt and creates a culture. We lack any culture or accountability with Woodson. He can’t fix it because he is the problem.
This team is not winning anything this year as usual. I am sick of IU Basketball. Yes I said sick! I have been a fan since the mid 70's watching with my dad. He passed away with IU continuing to be awful in basketball. I no longer know when IU plays I only watch the 10-12min highlight reel on TH-cam. Just apathetic when it comes to IU and honestly I'll probably get that same zeal I used to have.
I wish it weren't so but IU has disappointed us all. Woody can't seem to adjust during a game to lead us to a victory in any game that has significant meaning. Another subject, I have had it up to here with the SEC. The Big 10 has some significant wins over the SEC; PU over Alabama, Illinois came very close to downing #1 Tennessee, Ohio State murdered Kentucky. Honestly only Auburn is noticeably better than the top of the Big 10. Maryland is a very talented team as is Oregon, only beaten by a lucky banked in 3 at the buzzer.

same here...turned the Louisville game off in first half and have not watch since and will not watch them again till Woodson is gone.
This is Woodson's last year. Hang in there.
At the start of the season, I was very hopeful. After the UofL game, I lost all confidence. BIG play is looking very brutal.
As a fan for decades I have no faith in Woodson. The results are not good.

I wanted Woodson gone last year. This year has to be it for him. They are most likely finishing in the bottom of the league
We see the same issues with the team every year. It doesn't matter if we return players or bring them in from winning teams. We can't rebound, play defense, or hit open shots.
We all know woody is only employed bc of Quinn Buckner. Terrible case of nepotism
After Winthrop brother we'll go 2-7 in January. Look at Woodys January record over 3 years. 8-12 in the Big Ten is the best this group can do.
We may not make the bi g ten tournament
You mean NCAA tournament? EVERY team makes their conference tournament unless you get a postseason ban by the NCAA or just get ruled INELIGIBLE. But yes, IU in big trouble of missing the big dance
@christianfernandez3068 I thought the bottom 4 were eliminated from the bitten tournament this year
I've watched a lot of ball so far this year. Washington, Minnesota and USC will finish under us. Every other team is absolutely capable of finishing ahead of us.
Yep, the cutoff is #15

Less than 50 days before Woody's retirement. I like a lot of coaches out there, but if it's not Pearl I'll be really surprised.
Coach Cig has proven that the right coach can turn a program around year one!! Pearl and Beard have WON everywhere they have been and either would wake up this Indiana basketball fan base that is sick and tired of being sick and tired of watching a horribly coached team!!
Unfortunately coach just isn’t getting it done. Grade C-
I am hearing maybe retirement due to back issues?
Hate to jump on to the negative Nellie bandwagon, but...I think IU could end up under .500 quite easily.
I really wanted Woody to succeed! However, I think we have enough evidence to prove that he can not. I feel this team will be lucky to finish in the top half of the conference. It’s past time to move on.

I would bet Woodson retires end of season citing health issues. Just a way to graceful go out.
@@sethaaron95 He will want to be bought out
I think we need a change asap.

I agree and the Alford train passed 20+ years ago but Woodson is so bad Alford would actually be a step up at this point.
@@jeffzier4354 ignorant
Yes his job and his seat is on fire.
No they will not make the tournament he will be fired at end of the season
Well we beat Tennessee on their home court where is that team
YES, PERIOD.
The word is 'resumption.'
YES
We're at a crossroad. Go all in on football or continue to invest time, $ and energy in a BB program that hasn't been prominent in over 2 decades? Dolson has serious decisions to make. I just hope he makes the right ones.
@ChunkyDigg13 dolson isnt making the decisions when it comes to basketball. Buckner has the power over the program.
@michaelbradley7199 I wondered if Dolson's hands were tied with the BB program. No wonder he's putting more emphasis on FB. And we all know what the NCAA thinks of IU BB. So that also works unfavorably.
Woodson should be fired by the end of January. We will get crushed throughout the month.
I wish he would be fired now
@@kevinoconnor1476 He will not be fired in season. There is no benefit
Zero chance he gets fired before the Monday after selection Sunday.
Well said Jacob. Every game is the same. Woodson is lazy. Can coach Cig coach the basketball team too.
I wonder if Mike Dantoni would coach college? 🤷♂️
Big Ten power rankings update...#14 Indiana, that a joke...it's too high...lol..what a big disappointment this season has been....sad...4 yrs of Woodson and this is what we have #14 power rankings in the Big Ten😢
IU may rise from the ashes and surprise us all, boing 11-9 or 12-8 in Big 10.
Top 5 roster, probably 60th best team. Coaching is everything, Woodson is lazy in recruiting but gets bailed out by a huge NIL bankroll and still can’t coach a talented roster.
Coach and his assistant are inept in teaching good basketball to talented players. Prove me wrong.

Woodson needs fired 2 yrs ago.. so obvious he can't coach or develop players

yes big trouble...he needs to be fired at seasons end...they will not make the NCAA tournament again.
MAYBE miss the NCAA tournament? What team are you watching? IU won't even be on the bubble. Woodson will be fired in 79 days.

So shooting 35 three's is the same as always? Do you even care if you sound stupid?
