Seeking6 Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 2 minutes ago, IU Scott said: Well got bored tonight so watching the 1987 elite game against LSU. The motion offense was running like a fine tune engine. First half IU leads 47-46 and IU shot 65 percent. Also no subs until under 3 minutes left in the half Shoot 65% and only up 1? Horrible defense. Need some in state kids....not the kids from Louisiana or Ohio or California or Illinois. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides running a better offense then and guys actually taking good shots another difference is how the refs called the game. The game was more fluid on offense and players were actually allowed free movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some in state kids....not the kids from Louisiana or Ohio or California or Illinois. Or just great offense by two really good teams. Guys who can actually hit open shots and a offense that gets open shots. Just more free flowing offense because defenses weren't allowed to mug an offensive player all over the court. By the way Alford an Indiana kid had 18 at the half. All RMK teams had players from Illinois and Ohio Edited April 12, 2022 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This statement I completely agree with. Teams like Wisconsin have ruined the offensive beauty that used to be in college ball and referees who swallowed their whistle are their accomplices. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just night and day in how the game is played today compared to back then. Also teams used all 3 levels on the offensive end which makes it harder to defend. Teams shot the 3 but used the mid range game and if you have good players you should hit those shots at a good percentage. Also a lot less dribbling and really no on ball screens. Guys us d shot games a lot more to get the defender out of position. Instead if taking the ball all the way to the basket guys took a couple of dribbles and shot a easy 12-15 foot jumper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so frustrating watching the refs allow the self-fulfilling prophecy to happen with Wisconsin and their lack of fouls. Refs let that reputation get into their heads. In the Pac12 you’ll often see the refs arm go up to call the foul before the player even makes contact esp with UCLA at home it’s very annoying when the Bruins get into the double bonus with 10 mins to go in the ballgame… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
