Hoosierhoopster Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Starting this thread on DWB’s request — The Seminoles come in 7-1, only loss at Pitt by one basket (1-1 away). 4 guys avg double figure scoring, with balance (10-12 points), two of whom shoot over 38% from the arc, and they’re a big team that gets downhill. This is a big step up from we’ve played, legit good team that of course just beat PU in a tourney. Our guys have worked in a number of good half court sets and we may look to slow the game into a half-court game, but we’re also better (imo) in transition so going to be interesting to watch how that pans. Fla St also has real size, a game where we should be looking to work inside out and use the wing and perimeter to spread the floor. Imo Green needs to start and Rob is going to be needed, healthy, running the O, but we’re just a couple days out and he hasn’t been playing, so that’s probably not realistic. Tough game, our guys are going to have to really bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySportsPartizan Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I do not have a good feeling about this one... at all. FSU's pressure is crazy and does not stop and we will be without Rob. They just came off a game where they only hit 1 three so I expect water to find its level. FSU has already played Florida, Tennessee, and Purdue so they are well prepared. The one area we can dominate them, is on the inside, I just think our guards will realllyyy struggle. 20+ turnovers. As Archie would say "this will be a great test". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 IF....we can take care of the ball against their frantic, on ball pressure, we should be competitive. FSU is excellent, IMO, of getting into the passing lanes, and they hit the boards hard. They aren't a great shooting team, but man, can they play defense! Held PU and hairboy to 63 pts last night. If we start dribbling the ball a bunch, we'll be in trouble. Also, we need to be patient. More than anytime thus far this year. I've seen 2 recent FSU games, and they are for real. They should be top 25 coming into B'ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I don’t like this game without Phinisee either. IU needs him to get healthy. I just hope all of the travel is an issue for FSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDom Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 What's the word on Phinisee? It's still the head injury from a few games ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Based on Archie's comments, I think Rob is battling a few issues, not just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Maybe it's just because of last year but Rob already missing 3 games just has me nervous. Guess we'll find out soon enough. Hard to know where we stand if our best PG is listed as game time decision week to week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slojoe Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 If Rob is out, we will need to play "prevent defense" -- i.e., have one guy stay back at the center line on offense to prevent loose ball TO's from becoming baskets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I'm looking at this game as the second yardstick... We've seen how we can play against middle of the road competition, now let's try on a P5. Doesn't thrill me that our guard choices are a freshman who's been pretty good, but not RP good, or 2 upper class men that have been wildly inconsistent. Excited to see how TJD plays against better competition. I hope we win, but a loss won't be the end of the world. BTW, Anybody know any IU bars in Baltimore?

If so, then I would assume that means no concussion. Does it mean there is a 50 percent chance he will be cleared for contact by Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t explained but that’s not how I interpreted it — I think CAM is saying he’s 50-50 on whether he’s ready for contact — you are either cleared for contact or not, there’s no such thing as playing 50 percent contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 “Hopefully we can get Robert back at some point in time. That’s undecided right now,” Miller said Saturday night. “I have no idea when he’s going to.” Miller went on to say Phinisee is “kind of 50/50 on contact, non-contact,” but that there is no medical redshirt on the table right now for the sophomore point guard. Good luck interpreting this but it is sounding like the long concussion protocol again. CAM also mentioned our guard depth being a problem and the defense stinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEKA Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Not gonna lie, FSU is legit and a little scary. With no proven primary ball handler, their pressure could take a toll unless we find a way to move the ball effectively in the half court. I think the keys will be our bigs taking control and being as aggressive as possible on the boards to maybe get a few fast breakouts to disrupt the tempo a bit. We're going to need everyone's A-game on Tuesday night. Will be interesting to see how some of the younger guys respond to better competition.

Hoosier987 Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Not sure what it is? Concussion? Strep? Abdominal? possibly all? but Rob seems to be very prone to injury. In his 1.25 years he has missed a number of games. What concerns me the most is every once in a while you have an athlete - in college or in the pros - that just can never seem to be physically healthy throughout their career. In many ways we've seen this with De"ron Davis...a once very promising athlete who's career has been plagued by injuries. I really hope that Rob gets healthy and STAYS healthy and not be constantly riddled with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
