  1. Big thing was didn't lose it at the free throw line
  2. Hard to understand how Minn shot so badly, they were just awful. That said, the defense caused a bunch of contested shots and created a good many of those turnovers and turned them into points. Even we were getting turnovers earlier in the year, we would throw the ball away instead of getting a good fast break look. Tonight, there were still some unexplainable decisions, but the one positive I saw was the time Galloway laid the ball back to MM for a wide open three. Earlier in the year, Galloway would have tried to force that pass to Leal cutting down the lane. This was growth. Happy for the guys. They seemed to enjoy playing. Great to see. Still don't want to see double bigs and forcing the ball inside next year. Hope we see a new direction.
  3. How about when we make them ?
  4. Did not get to watch. Hope I can go back and see it, but just saw the statistics. Just to drive home the points we have been making all season long, we shoot 7-16 from three and 82% from the free-throw line. If we shoot our normal percentage this year of both, we lose. We hit our free throws the last two games. Something changed for the better. Since it was a win I'll say great job guys. Happy for everyone.
  5. I don't think you missed anything, and I think the people arguing against him are trying to hold him to false standard. Obviously Coach Knight did things a lot worse, stuffing opposing fans into trash cans, getting into arguments with Puerto Rican officers.
  6. Wow, those are some impressive numbers. I get your point, however, and it means this to me -- there was a time when we shoot that well and we blow teams off the floor, not come from behind to win by 4 in the last two minutes. That's a big difference. Still happy for the win.
  7. Just posted this in the game thread. Doesn't change anything for me, but I am glad for the players. Thought this was the best defensive performance in a while.
  8. Totally agree. Changes nothing. But I do think it was best defensive performance in a long time
  9. Agree, Galloway should come off the bench. I remember Coach saying that he was their best player in the preseason, but that doesn't mean he should have been filling the role Coach tried to give him. If he is your best player and he is at his best coming off the bench, then he should be your best player coming off the bench. I will go to my grave saying I wish he would have started CJ from the git-go (although I would have started him, Cupps, and X and brought MM and Galloway off the bench).
  10. Again, I don't know anything, but we have a player development coach (Coach Calbert) who was here previously when we had a good shooting team. I don't know every holdover from coach Miller, but I think there are two assistants and one strength coach who have been here through seven years of particularly bad shooting at IU.. Something isn't working.
  11. I don't know anything, of course, but the results don't show any improvement in shooting during his entire tenure. If he isn't helping us get better, it doesn't matter what he is doing well. Show me where his program has made us better at any basketball related skill -- rebounding, defending on the perimeter, defending the drive, shooting free throws. I realize he is not a skill instructor, but i agree that when nothing is working almost anywhere, you need to change almost everything.
  12. absolutely agree with this. When a team is making free throw after free throw, especially with a lead, it deflates an opponent. It does the same to put pressure on a team when you are coming from behind.
  13. I think I'm closer to your side than an optimist. Great effort tonight to come back, but lets wait and see if we stay within 10 points on the road to the Boilers
  14. You know, I thought the turning point was the technical on Malik.
  15. To me, our guards are too talented and (in some instances) too experienced to be the worst backcourt, the concepts coexist.
  16. No. 11 for Wisconsin sure looked like he threw his face into Gillis' elbow. I am not kidding.
  17. Don't feel especially pumped that we let a 15 point lead turn into a deficit, but I agree it wouldn't have been close had not Galloway forgotten how to play basketball. And of course he missed a few free throws in there for good measure, but so did everyone else.
  18. I am so sick of our senior guards. I will say it again
  19. I am so sick of our "senior guards" Its always one of them costing us
  20. I'm 67 and I will go to my grave believing that CMW should have started Gunn and brought Galloway off the bench. I think it would have given CJ a whole different perspective and confidence.
  21. And the the ref gave him a make up call, just like they do in the pros, and he missed both free throws -- game over.
  22. And didn't they miss their first four?
  23. Ill. did a good job exposing our defense eventually. If I'm right, three times Domask kicked out for a three. in the second half.
  24. Am I the only one hoping we would lose by 2?
