He’s been playing damn good D on Allen! Allen still has 9 points on 3 of 5 shooting. We will need RoJo to play a little better on both ends of the court to match Allens output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get ball inside when playing zone. Taking too many 3's for my taste. Apparently the guys aren’t listening to me, I keep telling them to stop jacking the 3s!

FW_Hoosier Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 As good as the half could have gone honestly. Hardly any TOs and solid D. If we start hitting our shots we can win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I’d love to see ROJO with 20 but if he negates several points with D, I’ll take that all day long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 All we need to do is start making 3s, keep doing the rest of what we are doing and we win. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacarcio Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Really enjoyed seeing the effort and making enough plays to keep the crowd engaged. Hoping Deron can do some damage getting back into the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Really great first half. Guys are playing hard and pretty smart, and Archie has put them in a position to succeed. I’ve said it before, but IU basketball is in great hands! I thought RoJo played really well, but to win a game like this we’ll need him to get hot offensively. Morgan played well, and did a host of other guys. Interesting to see Archie opt for Hartman and McRoberts over Smith and CuJo, definitely going to for experience. Again, just a really well played half for our guys. Not great defensively, but we played hard, just not much you can do with Duke’s size/length. Unless someone gets crazy hot from deep for IU, I expect Duke to pull away in the second. First five minutes will be key. But guys, we should be happy. Archie is a coaches, coach. He has done a great job tonight in terms of X’s/O’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even need for K to intimidate the refs into making questionable calls as he usually does. Even though it's happening anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIUFan Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 No matter the final score. This team keeps showing tremendous improvement since ISU debacle. Can't wait until all the players understands Archie Ball. We will be able to play against anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHoosier Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 And now to figure out how to slow down Duke, without Davis gathering fouls. Tough task for sure. Let's hope Archie has some sage advice for these guys. And let's really hope they come out of the locker room without a let down. Can't imagine Duke isn't going to come out swinging.

Parakeet Jones Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not to get off the current game , but two things come to mind watching this. 1. This is not the same team that pooped the bed against ISU. 2. With what I have seen from the rest of the B1G, based on our current rate of improvement we have a chance to have a decent conference season.

BGleas Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Imperative for IU to go on at least a mini-run to start the half, can’t get blitzed the first couple minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have improved a lot since the ISU game. I’ve not been impressed with the B1G in this series! Unlike previous years where we fold down the stretch, I think we will be much better later in the year!
