It is painfully obvious that even with sufficient talent to be successful/competitive Coach Woodson is not the person IU needs to restore respectability to the program.
1. When arguably the best player on your team takes only 7 as shots, your (star) guards are not doing their job. Period.
2. When the style of ball, both offensively and defensively, is 30 - 40 years old, you're going to lose games like this badly just about every time.
3. Kids coming out of high school aren't going to even consider IU for their college ball. I frankly believe that we're already seeing that. And furthermore, we're going to see heavy losses in the transfer portal, with nobody wanting to come to IU to backfill the losses.
4. If I'm even remotely close in the above thoughts, Woody will have been solely responsible for the last steps in destroying the once proud basketball program at his alma mater.
Coaching matters. Coach Knight had how many “4 or 5 star athletes?” ‘75 “76, Scott May, Kent Benson, Quinn Buckner? The others? I don’t think any were that highly regarded. Alford, Smart, others? Probably only Isaiah, right?
Does Cignetti have any “5 stars”? Knowing what players bring and how they fit a plan
He also said he needs to get them over the hump. NO! Not buying it. I know you wany to keep up the positivity but,....ain't working for me. The effort to coach these guys was pathetic.

Couple of thoughts:
1. When arguably the best player on your team takes only 7 as shots, your (star) guards are not doing their job. Period.
2. When the style of ball, both offensively and defensively, is 30 - 40 years old, you're going to lose games like this badly just about every time.

Such a shame!
