IUFLA Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 We have to play with the intensity we showed in the last 7 minutes for 40 minutes a game. And I hope Devonte got the message... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 23/30 from the charity stripe while the Wildcats were 8/10 and we out rebounded them by 13 with 9 more offensive rebounds at.......home. All that and we win by 4 at......home. I don’t know what’s going on and I’ll take 12-3, but this sort of play at home is worrisome. Assuming we simply can’t win road games, can we beat anyone good at home? I always thought Assembly Hall was a huge advantage but it doesn’t seem that way. Very odd. Turnovers...the freaking turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPM Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 We squeak by the bottom feeders at home and get blown out on the road. Seems like a destined NIT team to me 🤦♂️. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUDan93 Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 My take away, with green out we came back from 10 down and won. We can't win with him playing this way, and being that he is a senior says this is all we are gonna get from him. Super talent wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Pleasantly surprised to see Smith with 18 pts. It was a "quiet" 18 from where I sat. only 6 boards in 37 minutes seems low to me, but 2 offensive boards is good. Biggest box score problem is the team high 5 turnovers he committed. Not a great game, but good game for Justin. Trace, as usual, was the man. The go to guy in the last 5-6 minutes. Al was good for the last 4 minutes or so for intensity, and great from the FT line. But team intensity is sorely wanting from my standpoint. 1-2 guys can't carry a team in the B1G anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm OK with him getting starters minutes in the first half, but if Good Devonte doesn't show signs of appearing, park him early in the 2nd. He's a streaky player. But utilize him when he's on and park him when he's off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmhoosier Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 To paraphrase RMK...Let me just say I thought Devonte was horrendous. We got absolutely nothing out of him from a leadership standpoint. He’s a senior and a captain...it’s his job to get our guys ready to play a ball game. He’s had 2 good games in the past few years and apparently that’s what he was interested in. If we don’t have Trayce Jackson Davis you can just forget the whole freakin thing. And I’m telling you this is not a good basketball team. And Northwestern really proved that tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not posted much as of late. Am i frustrated with the way we play YES. I hope DG getting benched brings back the FL. ST. player and the player that finished his Jr. year strong. I think for IU to have any real success we need DG to play that way. I hope the benching will send a message to the WHOLE TEAM. Justin had a bad 1st half but helped win the game. I am still behind CAM but I hope he bends with His players strong points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he may throw the ball away several times. I like him, but his BBIQ, isn’t great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU878176 Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Two positives. 1) We kept our “hope” of going 10-10 in the conference, and making the tourney, alive. 2) Archie sat Green for an extended time. Based on posts I’ve read I was beginning to think both McRobbie and Crean told Archie that he could not do that but he “sacked-up” and did it anyway. Two negatives. 1) 2 1/2 years in and the team still does not play hard consistently. Totally baffling. Glad the announcers and post-game crew were calling us out for lack of effort. 2) At home we barely beat a terrible short-handed Northwestern team that was missing their point guard and had all their bigs in foul trouble. Thankfully we made adjustments to shut down their lacrosse player. Let’s beat OSU !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point “it is what it is” but it is a shame he is so inconsistent because he has some talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDIUFAN Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Our defense need some attention! Wow we gave up a lot of lay ups tonight. It’s a win I’ll take it.
