Regionally, check out looserville's record and Indiana's record. I am sure that there are even worse out there so take a deep breath and be glad that we are not under penalties. See UM vs. Wisconsin.

IU is 16-10 and standing at 9th in the B1G. In reality, IU has not done much since they ran Bobby Knight out of town.Comment

Here's Justin Williams' take on the state of the program. In essence, this is about what was expected, preseason, and that this is a multi-year rebuild:

What else can you expect CWM to say. What else can Justin write as of now due to the need to be close to the program. I would like to have seen a rise instead of a fall, but I beleive there should be some improvement next year. At least, I hope there is and I am positive that there will be some and perhaps more.Comment

Not sure that there is a 'multi-year' rebuild in college basketball anymore. Great players are one and done, some go from high school to g-league or overseas, transfer portal speeds up any potential rebuild process. What fans or AD would tolerate a multi-year rebuild nowadays in college basketball?
College football used to have a 4-5 year program rebuild as tolerable/acceptable with coaches wanting a good amount fifth year seniors - now it's a 3-year max timeframe for a rebuild given the transfer portal - look how many coaches Tennessee... or Florida has gone through since Urban left - the fan base is impatient. Of course with 85 scholarship players college football needs more time for a rebuild than basketball, but no way is a 3-year rebuild acceptable in college hoops today.Comment

I dont want a multi-year rebuild, no one does, but if we don't find a big guy with some post moves, strength and ability to rebound, that's where we're headed.Comment
