KoB2011 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Assuming the 70-48 reported score is accurate, that's a great sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BtownBallers Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 On reddit people were saying they saw that Romeo played great, but that Juwan Morgan was the best player in the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a stretch to think he and Romeo are two of the top 10 or 20 players in college basketball. Certainly not a given, but not a stretch. Having said that, that's why a kid like Zach should absolutely start. He does all the little things to free you those two to do the big things.

If Juwan can make a few threes then he’s top 5. Imagine him shooting 37 / 75! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 I've never been more hungry for a basketball season to start. This team is underappreciated and I can't wait for them to make all the preseason experts look foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Insider report to me. Romeo with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Shhhh ! It's supposed to be a secret !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 I loved that we held them to 48 points but was wondering how we only scored 70. Wonder if Loyola played a slow down or did they play a running clock because I would think we would score more than 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I won't. But things went very well. Justin Smith was a name that was talked about. "He killed." Go Hoosiers. So good chance Archie goes small ball for most of the season with Smith and McRoberts starting in your opinion? Thanks for the info as always.

5 championships Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hearing Phinisee had a good game and that Indiana’s length gave Loyola problems. Porter moser the head coach said were a possible final 4 team. That’s some high praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Romeo had 19 and 10, and he wasn't the best player of the team? I'm pumped! I'm curious what starting lineup Archie used. Well...we'll get to know about that in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really coming on towards the end of the season last year. He has great potential, looking forward to seeing to what extent he's growing a respectable jumper and how well his D has improved.

Ready to watch them on Thursday. Go Hoosiers. Thanks Coach! If that was the starting lineup used in the scrimmage, I'd be a bit disappointed. I want us to use size and length more IF our bigs are ready. The ideal starting lineup I'm thinking is Fitzner-Morgan-Smith (or McRoberts) - Langford - Green (or Phinisee). Fitzner can stretch the floor and give Morgan and Langford more room to operate offensively. I mean, if Fitzner can't start at 5 in our team, I don't know why we brought him in other than for the reason we had 1 spot left in scholarships.

A very good problem to have. Absolutely. This team looks like it can put the D in Deep. My only real question has been how the point guard/primary ball handler role is going to work out, but from what we're hearing that's coming along well. Of course we'll get to see soon, but I'm definitely feeling optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but a starting lineup still has a significant meaning. It means those 5 (whoever they are) play best together and complement each other better...hopefully better than other combinations.

I agree, your starting line-up in my opinion are the guys who you expect to play 30+ minutes a game. So have that set is very important. Not that it doesn't evolve and change.

NCHoosier32 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 it's old school to say what matters is who finishes the game. i love old school, and that is important, but so is who starts. your best players should start and play a lot of minutes.

I'd really be suprised if we had more than an 8 man rotation. The 2002 team really only played 7 and maybe a half guys with Newt and Moye off the bench and Donald Perry getting a few minutes now and then. Tom Crean is not our coach anymore so notions of a 10 man rotation are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
