Hoosierhoopster Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 McSwain - 10 points (3-6), 9 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal Rob - 18 points (6-8 and 4-6 from arc, 2-2 from stripe), 2 assists to 1 TO, 2 boards Newkirk - 17 points (6-10 and 5-6 from arc), 4 assists to 1 TO, 3 boards, 2 steals, 1 block Al Durham - ok on points - 6 (2-6 and 1-2), but 5 assists to -- AGAIN - 0 TO's, in 30 minutes. Point guard of the future? And a huge shout out to Collin! We are better with Collin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Newkirk. I don't think it's a coincidence that the best team effort occurred when he played so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s dropping dimes and guarding the ball with his life. He’s a hustler. He’s Archie’s version of a Hoosier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosrnight Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Newkirk - I don’t recall him making any bonehead plays at all. He seemed to play in control and hit some big 3s when we were struggling to get our offense going. McSwain was a close second for me. With Davis in foul trouble, he played real well. He has a lot of energy and seems to understand his roll. He always seems to be around the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I don't recall a game where I felt more like the TEAM deserved the MVP. Lots of great candidates for MVP here. It's no coincidence that they doubled the spread and beat a pretty solid undefeated team like a drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 McSwain. He did a great job guarding a much bigger guy and that doesn't show up in stats. I get the Newkirk love though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I actually thought this was arguably Robs but game as a Hoosier. He didn't shoot much, but he did when we needed him to and he hit almost everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 No question in my mind...... game ball, gold jersey and a mile high salute..... all go to Archie Miller. He laid out the plan. Made changes on the move. And Indiana University for the first time, unlike under Coach Crean, showed they understood how to break the zone defense.

I was critical of his shooting, which has clearly been better of late, but the key for Rob is playing smart, playing hard especially on D, and eliminating the couple boneheaded turnover a game, and he’s done that of late. When he does that the shooting is quite as critical Really glad to see him rounding into form, and hopefully it’s a consistent thing he can carry throughout the season. I think Shon Morris even alluded during the broadcast that for much of career IU’s team performance has often coincided with Rob’s play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
