They shot 40.0% on 3s this game and Stewart and Kopp are probably two of the best shooters the Hoosiers have had in awhile. Coach Woodson has stated since the start that the defense is ahead of the offense and that it would take time for it to catch up. I think the offense will improve as the season goes on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Phinisee did a nice job defensively on 6’5 Wesley. I like him in that niche. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes a lot of mistakes but he does things that nobody else can do on this team. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does more bad than he does good… why in the hell is he shooting 9 3’s a game?! He shot more than Stewart and Kopp combined. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 On X, IMO, I can grit my teeth through the mistakes attacking the rim in transition. It’s when he takes shots, particularly threes, early in the shot clock that I get frustrated. I do think we’ve played our best basketball of the year he has been on the floor. He might not be the best, but he’s the best we have right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Several things… First and foremost, they beat a P5 team away from home, which some people here were kvetching about Second, they seemed to learn from the Wisconsin game. When ND came back and tied it, we didn’t cave. Instead, we put the foot on the gas and finished out the game. Third, cannot diminish what Leal did out there. Other than the over aggressive foul on the missed free throw, he provided some quality minutes. Finally, and I did not hear if the explanation was given, but we won without Bates. Not the biggest missing piece, but still he was missed. Why wasn’t he playing this game? All in all, a game we needed to win, and a game we did what we had to do 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he sticks it out he can get major minutes in the years to come. If he can’t see that and out in the work to get there. Then he can go. For the record, I like him and think he has a big future at IU. Judging how he was in the sideline, I think he believes that as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
