This is for all of you. You ask how I know things. Basketball Coach for 45+ years. IU Faithful Fan for over 60 years. You can not tell me that over the last few days you have not read some terrible things being said. Some of it by the same fans who commented the opposite after the Michigan game. We all know that this team has been up and down all year and so have the fans and I was just sick of all the negative and Sarcastic comments. Sorry if I offended you. Hopefully they will beat PU today! MillaRed, I can still see you

After those three second half melt-downs and HMP’s problems..IU has a huge opportunity. Frankly I had them losing this game in my pre-conference prediction of 9-9 in the B-10. I hope these guys show me how dumb I am. This team and staff need something really positive to happen.

So while I think Yogi will score some, it will be lower teens and will all be hard earned. We will need Will to be an effective scorer and then someone else will have to step up (Stan/Troy/Gordon) and get to double figures. In general we will have to get some fast break buckets either transition rebounds or turnovers.
Noah should have a big game, if they try to guard him with Hammons, they have to get Noah some iso facing up. Hammons could not even guard Kaminsky going to the basket so Noah should have his way if he can face up. Probably will have to defend Hammons with Howard or liberal use of double teams since Purdue has no real outside threat, but I think keep Noah off Hammons on defense for much of this game to keep out of foul trouble, especially given our now extreme lack of depth with bigs.
My mind says IU should win this game, Purdue is just not good at all, but my gut tells me IU should have won the last 4 games and only won 1 of them, and I think this one is once again going to inexplicably slip away. I hope I am wrong, I hate Purdue.

Can’t see you from that mountain top buddy.

If they are not feeling good about taking us down something is wrong in West Laf.

Enjoy that. We’ll see you next season, perhaps.

Please permanently check out. We don’t need fair weather fans.

I agree, Purdue to me is the worst team I have seen in the B1G. Again, who knows if IU can beat them, and I am biased because I hate Purdue, but the team is really bad. Anytime a kid like AJ Hammons is your best player that is a hard team to root for.

Whatever works for him is fine with me. If he needs to pace like a maniac, then pace away.

Maybe he’ll only substitute for the unproductive players or those who get in foul trouble…

CTC seems to have forgotten that he’s available…

Who appointed you to be the one to chastise and admonish those who post valid comments and concerns regarding our Hoosiers? Few have said that they would not cheer for the team tomorrow. And just out of curiosity, how do you “know” just exactly how bad CTC felt after the PSU debacle. I personally don’t want him or the team to feel worse–but some positive progress toward minimizing turn overs and a more sensible substitution pattern would be nice to see. I suppose not having to endure watching the Yogi Ferrell version of the “Bracey Wright Dribble-Dribble-Dribble-Jack It Up Show” would be too much to ask or expect. We’ve watched the same sorry-ass plays and hear the same lame excuses repeatedly–it’s gotten old. I think the players fit reasonably well together– but it’s impossible to build upon this team’s actual strengths and unity when 10-12 young men fit into CTC’s normal rotation…and often feature the wrong players on the court at the worst possible time. I venture to say the Hoosier faithful will continue to stand by these young men and support them as best we can. We’ve been there for the players in much worse times…

I expect Jeff Howard to have the game of his life. 10 points, 10 rebounds. In all seriousness I don’t care who plays or who has a good game. I just hope this team can scratch out a win so something positive will happen for them this week.

Anything to show us he’s making changes.

Jurkin? A tryout for 2014-2015 contribution? Why not?

Did your Mother’s never tell u if u can’t say something nice keep still? You guys act like the sky is falling and the world will end soon. What a bunch of fair weather fans you are. This is IU basketball and if you can’t cheer for IU when they play PU then maybe u do need to switch to the Pacers and the NBA. You guys act like you are a better Coaches or players so maybe you should apply for a job. Don’t you know how bad this Coach and team feels after the last game? There is nothing anyone of u could say that would make them feel worse.
I know how they feel because I coached for many years and had teams that just would not fit together well. The last thing this team needs is a bunch of negative sarcastic fans. They need us behind them more than ever so maybe you could try and pull yourselves together enough to cheer for the University you love against the College you dislike greatly!!

I just can’t get into the NBA, even the Pacers, til about June. But I get it. I may pay a little more attention to my Reds spring training than I usually would.
