IU Scott Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 No one saying this game was perfect and we don't have things to prove on. I just wonder why people can't at least look at the positives after wins. Also no one should think this was a big ten championship caliber team and expecting them to play like one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure did. Doesn’t mean he had a good game bc of those two positives. Also had 5 turnovers, and that alone doesn’t mean he had a poor game to be fair. It’s fine if you think he’s a good PG. I don’t, and don’t think we have a chance to go far bc of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Tre Demps did not break his half time record of saying TJD 3 times in one breath. He only got up to 2 in post game. Overall though he does have good thoughts, just has to get comfy in studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said he was a good pg but without him tonight we don't win. Also 3 of his turnovers we're after he got tripped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that 3 pointer was where we changed our destiny in this game. So many times in the past, that was the 1 missed shot that swung all momentum. Not this time by gawd! And yes, XJ concentration on his last 4 free throws was pure gold. We punched all the way untill the last bell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe Coach Woody gets the most he can out of this group, and we have an excellent front court, but the guys we've signed in these next 2 classes so far makes me feel better about our future... It'll be fun to see how far CMW can lead this group though...I think we make the tourney this year, and everything else is icing on the cake... Yeah, I’m very competitive and always looking for perfection. I’m certainly guilty of not being able to enjoy positives as much as I should bc I’m noticing the negatives more. Like I said earlier, I just need to be complacent with our guard play and try to enjoy the positives, knowing we are limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Another tidbit I noticed. Fife sitting next to CMW for the first game in a while. Generally he’s the farthest away and sitting next to two players. Probably doesn’t mean anything significant, but I am genuinely curious as to why and how CMW makes the decision on who sits next to him because I’m positive it’s not random. Is it dependent on who did the scouting report? Who is most familiar with the opposing coach? Who has the best smelling breath? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier, I just need to be complacent with our guard play and try to enjoy the positives, knowing we are limited. I use to be the same way until about 20 years ago. I found that was not a healthy way to look at things and hated that nobody wanted to be around me watching games. Also once I had kids I didn't want them to hear my yelling and complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaplesHoosier Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 X,Parker and Tamar will experience something new on Thursday ! X gonna have to keep his temper under control when a Boiler tries to f-him up. Hope TJD will be good for the game. These kids can rebound from a butt buster pretty well most of the time.

I often yell at the TV, “ It’s Trayce Jackson Davis!”… “You call him that like your best friends!”…..🧐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In anything you ever do. The will and desire to achieve perfection. The journey can be exhausting but it’s worth it if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said we won't go far with him but who really thought this team could go far this season. I expected TJD and RT to be improved shooters. Both are worse shooters than last year. I expected XJ to be a better decision maker when he was anointed the starting PG from the get-go. I could prob go on. It doesn’t matter what I thought at the beginning of the year. What matters is that we’ve shown signs of being really good (1st half @ Wiscy, OSU) but we’re not replicating those times consistently. We SHOULD absolutely be better than we have the past two games bc we’ve seen it already. Turnovers and FT are areas that can be improved regardless of talent and those two things have cost us dearly. You don’t agree FTs and turnovers are fixable regardless of talent level? Or do you just think the times we’ve limited our turnovers and made our FTs were us playing above our abilities?

To enter elite status, you have to have that mentality. RMK did the same thing. Some people thought he was crazy. Actually, he was genius. Always a step ahead and always wanting to better. I didn’t know that anyone was using the word elite in conjunction with this team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxnJxn Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 A W is a W is a W, but jeez, i could almost feel through the TV how tense the team was that last 5 minutes. We definitely have a lack of guys that can create their own shot, especially in crunch time without TJD, but we pulled it out, and it was also good to see Bates and Geronimo contributing in significant ways. Any road win is a good W right now, though. Side note: i guess we’re just not counting last year at all elegibility-wise? The announcers called Galloway a freshman and TJD a sophomore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1215 Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Huge opportunity over the next 5 games. 4 homes games and at Maryland. Have to make this stretch count. Good road win. Glad I finished it after I knew we had won. Seeing the lack of composure sometimes and that last 6 minutes without tjd was hard to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
