Lizard Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I agree with the person that posted they hope we play them again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefftheref Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Just now, rico said: I think we should embrace the positives.... Agree totally Rico. Although we lost there were some real positives to look at. Besides, going the other way doesn't change things one bit. We lost, we should of won but we played well and Jerome Hunter looked good.

If a kid wants to run around saying number one and celebrating at the top of his lungs, that’s wonderful and positive. He crossed the line into an area that I’d never want to see an IU player cross. The horse is dead. We can agree to disagree and move on to more important things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His behavior is a reflection of his upbringing and program. Didn't IU have a player (not sure who it was) steal the ball at the end of the game IU was up and game all but over and Dunk it for 2 pts. CTC reamed him a good one and made an apology to their coach. I don't think it was his upbringing but his emotions that played into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU/Butler/Notre Dame Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I was critical in our losses that involved lack of full 40 minute effort and unintelligent basketball. I said with effort Being where it should be I’d be ok even with a loss. Should we win that type of game at home ...absolutely. Would I like to see DG on the bench in the final minutes of a game where decision making is critical...absolutely. But there are way more positives than negatives here guys ...the back court which I have harped on ALL year controlled his game and got the ball into the post. We hit efficiently from outside. 1. Our assists to turnovers were outstanding and rob made our offense go ( he and Dg and a 10-2 assist to turnover ratio !) 2. We out rebounded our opponent 3. We shot nearly 50% from deep and 70% from the line. 4. We played with a high motor the whole game. you’ll win way more often than not with that recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be multiple B10 teams with less than 20 wins get in. Michigan and Ohio State probably aren’t going to get to 20. The there is Purdue and Minnesota who will be on the bubble with 18. Is IU a lock right now? No Do they have a really good chance? Yes you again......sigh...... I just said IU is not a lock. You just said IU is not a lock. Good grief.

My only issue is you say this after every win...oh we will lose this one and that. We won’t beat OSU or MSU etc etc yet you never say you know what...I was wrong...I’m happy because the team is playing better. Maryland perhaps played its best game of the year and honestly it took a collapse in the last minute for them to beat us. What has to happen before you believe in Archie and the team? Because when it happens I’m going to remind you of it and you will have to put a smile on your face. It’s like people think we haven’t improved over the 2 1/2 years Archie has been here. He barely has had time to put pictures up in his office and people expect final fours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I get the feeling this team is developing that chip on their shoulder. They are playing that way anyway and I think if they keep it up will win out at home and grind out a road win or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IU cheerleaders would always race to the logo, to protect it. It happened very quickly. I could see the cheerleaders coming out on the floor while he was doing it. And his coach was in his face right away. It was stupid, it was unsportsmanlike, but as others have said, he's a kid. I hope he's learned something, but he probably hasn't. I'm not happy but I think our history will be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 It was a tough loss but there were some good things to take away. I thought the staff did a nice job making adjustments at the half. They had the game scouted well and put the players in good positions for the most part. It sure looks like the team has flipped the script in terms of playing hard, smarter and tough. I would like to see Phinisee really go alpha at the end and control the ball. I was fine with the play and shot we got for Trayce. We have to be one of the worst teams in IU history in terms of squandering advantages when they have lob passes. It’s to the point that I’m pleasantly surprised when we convert. The way we lost is tough to swallow but I’m heartened by the fact that we seemed to turn the corner in terms of effort.

IUalum Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 I don't feel bad about this one, it would have been a great win, but it's not a terrible loss. I though the team actually played well in the first half, but Maryland was more talented and just flat out better. Game came down to two mistakes, a missed one and one. Encouraged by the back to back efforts. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 It really hurt not having Race and having TJD and JS in foul trouble. They had to concede a couple late baskets that they would usually contest at the rim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating this dead horse.... considering TJD's foul trouble, I couldn't understand why Joey was not in the game at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Random thought that I meant to mention earlier. The passing between the big men was outstanding. It wasn’t a one way thing. Kudos to all involved in this respect, including the coaches. It is obviously something they emphasized especially after the half and something they’ve worked on.

However feel he would have been able to alter Maryland's J.Smith at the end. Plus, at the start of the second half was strong going inside. On a positive. Logan Duncomb and at least four other IU targets saw a great game, in an even greater bb atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race coming on last game . I as many have posted Jerome seem to have made the leap in shooting we have been waiting on. I thought Green played the way CAM wants ( you may not like him) but if he plays like this the rest of the year with everything else coming into play We are a tough match up THAT NO TEAM WILL WANT TO FACE COME TOURNEY TIME. Lets just let it play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
