If I recall… they certainly competed against Gonzaga…. They may not have won… but they competed.

If the first half was any indication of future success then IU will be fun to watch!
If the 2nd half is any indication (of a young inexperienced team) this year will be a roller coaster ride to watch.
IMO, any game that we are in at the end & a chance to win is a GOOD game with this young group.
I still enjoyed the game as I see progress & effort, ( AND a program with integrity!)

I am somewhat confused as to why people believe that IU should beat Lipscomb “this year or any year”… “on the road or at home”… or whatever stipulations that were put out there. The fact of the matter is that Lipscomb has played together longer, has more experience and was the better team for 40 minutes. I believe that is what wins games, not the name of school being worn on the jersey… To echo some of the sentiment above, its time to walk the walk. Let’s take our lumps with a stiff upper lip

You can still support a team and criticize them. The issue is its still a D1 school at at major college. Losing to Lipscomb at home after losing to NU at home is not acceptable no matter what year. Because both of those teams sucked. I honestly don't believe IU could compete or win in any D1 conference. It is what it is and there is nothing wrong with saying it

Agree with you that things need to stay as positive as possible, but its also hard to justify losing at home to Lipscomb. I think we've been more than fair with our commentary of the season to-date.

Oh lordy, I am finished reading this site for a while……… I understand everyone has a right to their opinion, but if everyone would veiw things with a realistic poin of view then there would be nothing to bitch about. This team has what 10 true freshmen on it? All of whom were recruited well after May? C'mon folks…. Good God be gratefull we have a full roster, and some brave young men who took the challlenge to play here. And it is a challenge, and I respect these “young' men big time for it!

Jesus beating up on this team is easy, we all knew it was going to be a really rough year yet some expect it to happen NOW! I would bet everyone bitching has never played a minute or down of college athletics ever. Rome was not buult in a day and I guarantee all of you, IU will take at least 3 years to be a legitimate top 3 Big Ten type squad……….. It WILL TAKE TIME.

This entire team is dealing with a new home, class, practice, and an IU basketball schedule. This team has no leader, J Rivers would do wonders for this team right now I think but……..

Everyone please be patient, better times are on the horizon. This team needs encouragement … not a bunch of fair weather fans.

whoever said this year is about getting better is right.

Problem is, this team is not getting better.

We are allowed to criticize this team. They should beat Lipscomb at home. This year or any year. Period.
