It was tough watching our team and then watching Purdue's team. Talk about two programs that are polar opposites of eachother right now. One has so much promise the other so many questions. Its going to be a tough road back. What a disappointment on so many levels. It was tough watching our team and then watching Purdue's team.

One note to the new coach…don't let any player “do whatever he wants” under any circumstances. I expect to see defensive intensity and hustle, and a disciplined offense with next year. (Start “Erik Shur” 15 games if you have to)

P.S. Thanks for all your work on the Site. It's pretty much been my “one-stop-shop” all season. I hope you guys keep it up.

this season was a complete disaster and im not just talking about the sampson situation. what exactly did they accomplish? their best non-conference wins were illinois state and kentucky. they went 0-fer vs. wisconsin, split with michigan state (that beatdown in lansing should've equated to TWO losses), would've split with purdue if they had played at mackey (thank God they didn't), finished 3rd in a weak big ten, did nothing in the Big Ten Tournament (except lose to an awful minnesota team), and were one-and-done against a mid-level SEC team (after making sonny weems look like jimmy jackson).

what was eric gordon's “moment” this year? ten years from now when someone asks you something you remember about gordon, what will you say? his 33 points against chattanooga? his 30 against UNC-wilmington? i think ill remember his 4-32 3-pt (12%) shooting in the last four games of his collegiate careeer.

when old yeller had rabies, travis had to go out back and put him out of his misery. i did the same with IU basketball last night. im glad its over.

I was at the game and I looked at my fellow hoosiers in disbelief how bad they played. Is it possible to get refund for crapyness? Message for Eric Gordon. YOU need to stay two more years in college. You might be high draft pick, but in order to be a legend in the NBA you need to fine tune some aspects of your game. I'm not trying to be direspectfull, but I'm being honest. Think how good tim duncan did by staying four years in college. I will miss you DJ. As the years go bye I will always feel bad for you because you never deserved any of this. You went through too much in such a short period of time. I apoligize on behalf of the Indiana community for failing you. All the best.<br>So when do we talk about our next coach?
