XJ, RP, or KL have to be on the floor to run the point Agree. One thing we have to be careful of, Galloway is more of a point forward, he's not a point guard. The value in that is having him play alongside our point guards as another ball handler and a guy that is smart and can push the pace. You don't really want him replacing the point guards. Being a point guard is an entire different thing than being a wing that can push the pace at times, run the break, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tonight felt good for the team, I'm sure. I think that in terms of knowing HOW to play (instinct and Basketball IQ), you could argue that Galloway and Leal are our two best examples, Race is maybe next on the list...I actually think that Rob deserves more credit than he gets in that category... Our two best players at entering the ball into the post are Leal and Galloway... Our two best players of seeing the game two passes ahead and moving it so that it doesn't get "stuck" are Leal and Galloway... Leal and Galloway do the best job of delivering the ball to the right player at the right place at the right time (watch how our point guards are two steps late in getting the ball to shooters or cutters...our actions work but we don't have the instinct or confidence to deliver the ball where it needs to go when it needs to get there... Our two best cutters, not always to score, but to create movement and to force the defense to make decisions, are Leal and Galloway...Both players attack a zone intelligently and selflessly...(OSU played one possession of zone and Galloway made a great pass, on time and on target, to Race for a bucket) Galloway is our best transition player in terms of pushing the ball, making the right decision, and the guy has the best layup package on the team...Leal actually runs the floor really well too... I am with people saying that Parker and Kopp should be in opposite rotations of each other, give each player 20 minutes, but not at the same time...(maybe reduce each to 17 and give Leal three minutes each half as well)...I am amazed that we can hold up defensively with both of them on the floor, because neither of them can stay in front of anyone... The other guard spot I would split between Galloway and Bates, maybe something like 25 and 15...(playing both X and Rob together is useful though and complicates this rotation) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I think someone brought it up on here or maybe it was on twitter. Our 3 losses to Cuse, Wisconsin, and Penn St all came down to one possession here or there. Healthy Trey may have been helpful? Onto Minnesota. Early Sunday games always are the ones you have to create your own energy. Hopefully Coach spends the weekend drilling that into the kids heads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One really good 19 minute segment doesn't mean you should start. Roll with how it works, not how you want it to work. (I don't actually mean "you"). You can't have 4 complete non shooters out there on the court. I was thinking about your post last night saying we can't have that many non shooters on the floor at the start of the game, and you're right... Trey coming off the bench makes more sense... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But both of their shots have to fall in order for them to make that next leap up though. I know shooting close to 40% from 3 aint easy, but if somehow Tre can approach that number, you'd have to think his ceiling would be 2nd-3rd team All Big Ten.

But, Trey is much better at breaking down the defense on the dribble. Leal really does not do that at all. That's why, going forward, it will be critical for every lineup on the floor to have either X or Galloway. They are the only two players that are good at breaking down the D on the bounce. And, for that reason above all others, you don't start Trey, Edited January 7, 2022 by 5fouls 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always heard Coach was harder on the team after a blowout win in preparing for the next opponent... Rightly so……Coach Knight was notorious for not letting success get to his players heads. You can bet Coach Woodson has that same mindset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I think guys like Lander and Bates are playing about as much as they would for a Bob Knight team. Both have a long way to go. Regarding Bates, I heard one of the beat guys say something like “fans won’t like it but Tamar may come on and then be one and done.” It might have been Dustin Doporak (who I like). It’s a fairly ridiculous statement. Bates is struggling on defense, can’t really create yet, and is only a good scorer if he’s left totally open. He has all the tools to be a complete player but it’s going to be a process. Bottom line is they are going to have to earn it and that process might be longer than fans expect. As for the players, they know exactly what’s going on. Hopefully they didn’t pick a coach who they thought would just hand them minutes. To be clear, I’m a big fan of both players.

13th&Jackson Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 From the G&B board: Yesterday at 8:53 PM #64 Wish we would play defense like IU is tonight. They are physical, pressuring all over the court and giving no easy looks. Hate to say it , but TRUE.

The defense though on the screen help without losing their own guy was impressive. Amazing how a few days energizes the tribe.

I think one of the weak points is XJ is basically our only “shot creator”. Even Phinisee isn’t much of a creator, but when you put Galloway and XJ on there, that’s two guys that can beat their man, get into the paint, and find the open guy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
