He's surely known this for some time. It hasn't happened. My guess is it's not going to happen. He passed up a wide open 17' shot today. He's one dimensional.

I’d agree that it ain’t going to suddenly happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why Painter Nevers uses both of his big guys at the same time. That’s not why Painter does that. They are both true 5s. Yde the truest you can get. Plus he has other players to get into the rotation at 4. Plus, again, who cares what Painter does. Talking about IU and Durr has earned his minutes. Pair him up with TJD and see what happens. It will not clog the lane if played like we do now. TJD needs some space to work if he’s not the biggest on the court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue7 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 A turning point: when Race got post position on Williams and couldn’t convert. KL first half kinda killed momentum really need Rob healthy why did XJ sit last 5? I saw him and Frazier talking to refs while teammates were huddled at FT lane honestly don’t know why Kopp plays over Galloway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Totally disagree with playing TJD and Durr together. IU is at its best when Race is on the floor and playing well. When he has to sit, Geronimo normally gives us more with his energy off the bench than what Durr provides. There are exceptions to that rule, like against Kofi and Edey, but those are just that....exceptions. I see no value in playing Durr more if it requires taking minutes from Race or Geronimo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Just now, Purdue7 said: why did XJ sit last 5? It was a long shot to win with XJ, but I thought the switch to Lander was too early. I would have been okay with it at 3 minutes to go if the score was similar. But, doing it at 5 was the ultimate white flag. And, it's not like X was playing out of control. He was probably our best player today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 One other thing and it goes both ways. Stewart, Kopp, and whoever our 3 guys are were brought in to shoot/make 3's. Coach said it earlier this year it's his job to find the best spots for them to be in to shoot them. All I know is it's February and neither have been consistently making 3's....they almost seem more comfortable with 12-15 jumper. Nothing wrong with that I guess but as we saw today the difference was 3 pointers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also better watch the language because that is not tolerated on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fundamentals Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 This is the best series of posts I’ve read after a loss on this board, ever.

Seeking6 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I know scholarships are tight and trust me this post is more about the past 5-6 years vs the first 90 days on the job for Coach Woodson. I like everything I'm seeing from this year, recruiting, etc...for the first year on a rebuild. One thing this fan is wanting is 1 pure shooter every class. No more everything else is great and occasionally shoots well. I need a shooter. CJ Gunn seems to fit that mold. Hit another game winner 3 today. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I haven’t watched yet, but don’t feel really any different about this team. We still should win 5ish games the rest of the way and finish up .500 in conference. We still look to be around a 7 or so seed. We lost to a really talented, veteran team that seems to be coming together at the right time and on a mission. Beat Northwestern and we are right back on track. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally asked you a one sentence question, not sure that’s aggressive. But yeah, 5ish when I said a floor of 5 and ceiling of 7 isn’t really a change on my end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artesian_86 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 IMO….. tale of the tape- - defense let us down, allowing for 10 made Illini 3’s…. - TJD getting in early foul trouble…. - (Gulp, this is the only time I will ever compliment Kofi)……He did anything and everything he wanted to do against Trayce. -because of Kofi, Trayce was non-existent down low nor was he a able to dish the ball out to open wings behind the 3pt line.

FritzIam4IU Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) On a positive note...I'm glad the team plays on Tuesday and has a quick turnaround. A bounce back win against Northwestern will help put this game in the rear view mirror. I think CMW will have them ready to play, much like the PSU game after the UM debacle.

BGleas Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Just got done watching. Quick thoughts on the game. - Illinois is really good (duh) - Cockburn makes them so difficult. He just so physically dominant and makes you change what you normally do. - Cockburn just destroyed TJD - Outside of his 3-4 minute stretch defending Cockburn in the first half, Race did not have a good night. Made several defensive mistakes - Beyond Cockburn, shooting was the major difference. I can't wait until we have a team that can shoot, so tired of watching IU teams miss wide open 3's in big spots while the other team drains them - I thought a big turning point was when Illinois sat Cockburn for about 4 minutes somewhat early in the 2nd half and TJD couldn't take advantage. I think he actually had two turnovers in that stretch, or a turnover and a really bad shot. But we didn't extend our small lead at all during that time - I'm not suggesting a lineup change, because I think Galloway is good off the bench, but it is just killing this team that neither Stewart or Kopp give us anything offensively. They have got to figure something out there. - Cockburn's presence alone gets Illinois sp many open 3's and they make them, TJD's presence does not provide the same mainly because we can't shoot or won't shoot. - Thought Woodson made a mistake not substituting earlier in the 2nd half. We went almost the first full 10 minutes without a sub and our guys ran out of gas down the stretch. Overall more disappointed with how we lost as opposed to the loss in general. We need to get XJ some help. I know Phinisee is out, but someone on the perimeter has to step up and create some offense and take/make some shots. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Also tough to win when you're two leading scorers, both high percentage inside guys, combine to shoot 8-for-22. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
