This team is wildly inconsistent and there could be a few more bumps before stability. Hopefully, the corner has been turned and now they see that the Hall, and all of Hoosier Nation, will be all in, if THEY are! No one cares. But we're curious.

Our SoS was 3## something when conference play started. Since then, it's risen to 197. Illinois and Rutgers are still 316 and 307 respectively. The whole "We haven't beaten anyone" line isn't going to be valid much longer. We were #56 in NET rankings going into today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, he didn't play that well today and I'd still take him in a heartbeat. He's the 2nd point we need behind Rob. Here's a dandy from their board: "A walk-on would be better than Carton" Good grief, talk about needing to step away from the ledge. The kid is a freshman.

DWB Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just listened to Archie's presser, and he said he told the team after NW that he'd play 5 guys all day long if that's what it took to get effort and production. Surprised he was that candid publicly about it. Glad he did, but in today's PC world most things get watered down. I have a sneaky suspicion that his comment WAS watered down.

OhioStGoon 1 HOUR AGO I'll say it until he's ultimately let go in that Holtman isn't the man for this job, he's vastly overrated and nothing more than mid-major coach, recruiter/developer. The sooner we get rid of him and bring in someone who can actually do the aforementioned the better off we'll be as a men's b-ball program.

Joe_Hoopsier Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 45 minutes ago, IU Scott said: Great game and was very encouraged by the effort and heart they showed today. We still can't shoot very well but if we play like that all the time we will be able to compete n this league. What has happened to the free throw shooting because early on we were hitting around 73%. We should have had 8 or 9 more points if we just shot a good percentage. When I was a Fire Department training person. I would always conduct live training (same as BB Practice) with multiple Strobe lights and the loudest, GOD AWFUL sound effects that I could find, and stage it in a very closed environment. I wanted my personel to train to not be distracted by the "noise", so to speak. To concentrate only on the objective. I propose that the IU staff and IT people, develop a set of headphones, that pipe in each individual player's girlfriend, talking sexual talk to them and make them hit 98/100 free throws while listening to it. Once that concentration level is conquered, I would make them listen to sound effects of their mom and dad doing the nasty while shooting.... The point is, create a serious human level distraction that one has to overcome/ become comfortable with. At that point, Free Throw shooting focus is truly on the rim and one's muscle control. NOTHING else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHoosier Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Like Archie said....guard play and defense wins games. We got it today and it was really fun to watch us close out the second half without allowing OSU a big run....or just totally collapsing like we've seen too often in the past. Great job by the staff and players to get ready for this one and get maybe our best win of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 That OSU board sure sounded like they had a different set of refs than we did. I know refs miss some calls, but you have to be a special kind of stupid not to see that OSU got a Sh--load more calls than IU got. But passionate fans aren't always realistic...
