Who follows Kramer and Jordan on X?

KentuckyBoiler
The people that are saying PU sucks are probably the ones that think Painter has run his course with us. We live in an instant gratification society, especially on social media.

We knew that this was going to be a young team, and it was going to take time for us to gel. I don't see this team gelling until late January. The biggest concerns for this time right now is perimeter defense (but this was a problem last year), rebounding outside of TKR, FT shooting (especially TKR with all of the attempts he is going to get), and the inconsistence of scoring outside of TKR and Smith. People talking about Colvin and Heide all of time needing to step up, and they need to for sure, but Loyer doesn't seem to get mentioned as much. Loyer, with his shooting ability, should be lighting it up every game, but that has not happened.

We will get there. The sky has not fallen.

Of course subjectivity comes into play. But are you SERIOUSLY arguing it's that subjectivity, NOT racism or misogyny or a multitude of other biases, that's responsible for qualified minorities being passed over in favor of white people? wtf? Yeah, 150 years of racism isn't the reason. It's because the qualifications were close or identical and the white guy just happened to be the subjective choice..........over and over and over. Get a clue or admit the truth.

No, I was simply responding to your comment that seemed to be saying that subjectivity is not involved in hiring. SERIOUSLY.

1. No, we don't suck

2. Yes, we are a flawed team that had same said flaws covered up by Jones and Edey last year.

3. Yes, we do play to win games against Auburn in December. I don't care what Kramer says, we play to win them all and they are all important come March. End of the world? No. But don't pretend like games in December aren't important.

4. Yes, all of the teams' goals are still in front of them. However, lose too many more games and the ultimate goal will be much harder to accomplish.

Would love this to come true, but I don't see any way that we only lose 2 more games in conference. That would be an awesome season. I think 6-7 losses is more likely.

If you have 2 guys trying out for a wide receiver position, 1 black, 1 white. They're both 6'2, 210#, have the same experience level, same 40 time, same vertical, same shuttle time, same 225lb bench reps, But, there's only room for one more scholarship, who you giving it to?

Purdue has taken their lumps, but is there another team in B1G with 3 top 25 (26) wins?

Until someone other than TKR/Smith/Loyer is consistent 5-7 sounds right though.

Still a long season and if any combo of Colvin, Heide, Cox can consistently be productive this team will be right there in the end.

4 Oregon

Colvin and Heide yikes

Nope.

But as an IU fan I can absolutely state that IMO Braden Smith is the single fiercest competitor in the B1G.

That's worth a ton, but it doesn't allow a 5'11 guard to consistently score over size when he's trying to create his own shot late in the shot clock. And that's what his role has turned into too often this year.

Agree.

Unfortunately, we've put a ton of weight on his limited play and expect a different outcome.

He's definitely a tough nosed player and wants to win badly.

Big Ten is 8-10 vs the SEC. Oregon, Ohio St. and Purdue has 2 wins each. Illinois beat a so so Arkansas and Indiana beat lowly South Carolina at home. Illinois, Michigan, Rutgers, Purdue and Ohio St have 2 losses apiece.

Yup. And overall as a conference, the SEC has just 22 losses. The Big Ten has 53 losses. Big 12 isn't close either and the ACC is awful. Big 12 at 47 losses and the ACC at 75. Big East a 48 with just 11 teams.

IU did not deserve to be in CFP. Great article by USA Today

Looks like Paul Finebaum is not a big fan of IU Coach Cignetti. This is my favorite quote of the article.

“It just bothered me to hear Curt Cignetti running his mouth talking like he’s actually done something,” Finebaum said.

Paul Finebaum isn't a fan of anyone outside the SEC. The man gets paid to get on his knees for the conference.
