FritzIam4IU Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Really glad for these upperclassmen getting their first "W" against PU. It was only fitting that Rob made the game winning shot. One other thing...this IU team really does have a great group of kids who make it easy to root for them. This is a very unselfish group as TJD proved last night. He was cheering harder than anyone while on the bench with foul trouble, and again lifting Rob up after the victory. Bates hasn't gotten a ton of minutes lately, but I saw him up and cheering wildly for his teammates as well. Others have spoken about how Lander has maintained a great attitude despite limited minutes. It is obvious this team has worked their butts off on the defensive side of the ball. Which tells me they are buying in to TEAM basketball. Kudos to coach Woodson and assistant coaches for leading and teaching the right way. Glad for all of them they got to experience that scene last night and celebrate with their friends afterwards. GO HOOSIERS!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 94hoosier Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Galloway being healthy is huge for this team. He can defend multiple types of players and does the little things on offense Geronimo is starting to play and look comfortable. Even Bates is starting to look like the game is slowing down for him Durr was huge last night 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Great game by Phin. Trace is an excellent ambassador for IU and a great teammate and friend to his brothers. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was most impressed with Gillis. He’s like Race, but a more consistent deep threat. Ivey is good but he isn't good enough to carry them to wins against good teams. I could see them being a first weekend victim with their PG play and other then Ivey their overall guard play which is what you need to advance in the tournament.

5fouls Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Tried to post this last night, but not sure it ever did because of the system crashing. I am SO glad we did not foul at the end. If we do, Purdue puts Edey in to rebound the missed free throw and all sorts of bad things can happen. Could have turned into a 4 point play.

Popular Post MoyeCowbell Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I don't know if you guys caught Woodson's post-game presser, but there was a question asked of him in regards to Rob and what CMW saw in him when he took over and what he sees in Rob now. (Paraphrasing here), but CMW said the past is in the past and Rob can now be great. He can be great because Coach wants him to be and is allowing him to be. Woodson said he will always be in Rob's corner, having his back. There was the SLIGHTEST bit of emotion when CMW says that 'when a coach is by your side you should cherish it' and I cannot help but think about his relationship with Coach Knight in that moment. The power of a coach and the confidence that they can help pull out of you, even when you don't feel like you have it. In that moment, I could see how fortunate and appreciative CMW was for CBK and how important it is for him to pass that forward to his players. Amazing. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between2Halls Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) I wonder if that accidental put back by Race gave him a better +\- for Purdue than some of their own players?? 🤔🤔🤓🤓 Edited January 21, 2022 by Between2Halls 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustout Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 9 minutes ago, tdhoosier said: I was just getting ready to post a similar reply. I'll preface this with: this is just an observation. I am in no way advocating the TJD not be in the line up or hurts this team. That said, back to our last dominant big, Juwan Morgan, it seems like this team loses itself with the inside/outside game. They get caught waiting for their All Big Ten big man to do something, rather than moving the ball and setting up a 'plan B'. I really hope the lesson taken from this game is that the guards have the ability to take over a game. Now lets do it with TJD on the floor. He can still be the first option, but they need to move with purpose and create for other players (and themselves) once the ball goes into Trayce or if he's not open. All that said, and generally speaking, does an inside/outside game disrupt the flow of an offense in today's game? Yes, there are teams (Purdue) who play this way successfully, but history has shown that it hasn't worked for us all that well. Again, I know this is just one game. I'm just thinking out loud. Great observation. I then think back to DJ White. He was great with his back to the basket. But also - when they kicked out, they were very effective that way too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU played defense the way WE are supposed to play it. Impressive. I think Durr actually bothered our bigs defensively more than TJD did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the more controversial strategies for sure. I really think it comes down to what a coach feels in his gut at that particular moment. I wouldn't be lying if I said I was nervous about that decision with Ivey on the floor. I will say that when we are down 3 I'm hoping the opponent doesn't foul us because I like our chances of hitting the 3 over getting a rebound on a missed free throw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edey gives Purdue a significant advantage that other teams dont have when you think of rebounding in that situation. And, with the chaos of the play, he almost certainly would get fouled on the put-back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy River Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Euroclydon said: I hope the players get to enjoy the win but it's a quick turnaround with Michigan on Sunday, then payback for PSU on Wednesday, and a trip to Maryland three days later (Saturday). The schedule is doing them no favors right now. The concern is they may be emotionally and physically drained. The fans really need to blow up for the next two and help carry this team by providing some energy. Fortunately they are young and the bench provided some good minutes last night. I agree with this, but the flip side is that there was a confidence gained last night, and if it takes hold, could make us dangerous.

Well it sure has panned out this year, and I for one am enjoying it. That's what I could not understand with Archie. He seemed to refuse to use all of his scholarships. It was a self-imposed loss of scholarships every season and he never had depth as an option. So one significant injury - team done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see at the end of the game how happy he was for his teammates especially Rob. Notice too, that in the locker room after the game, when coach is congratulating Durr, Trace was the first guy to run across the locker room and congratulate him. Seriously, who wouldn't want a teammate like that? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
