If you have a recording I recommend watching McBob's blocked shot again too. Edit: Sorry , I don't know how that quoted you . That was an accident, but you missed a wild one. You might want to find and watch all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogermci Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Living 1 mile from UD arena, I've watched Archie at least 15 times pull a tight game out at the end. He is an absolutely brilliant crunch time coach. I mentioned this on the old forum last year when there were many doubters as to whether Archie was the right guy. Now you've seen it first hand and you will see it going forward. The man can flat out coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 see, i'm pumped about the win, but... i thought RoJo looked very selfish again and started off cold. eventually had pretty good numbers. still not a fan. Morgan, absolutely! McRoberts, i guess, but the guy can't score. so when you have him and McSwain and a selfish Johnson the offense is tough to watch. why can't we have a more talented player who is one of our 12 scholarship guys play as hard, but better than McRoberts? i love Newkirk on the bench. maybe he can get into foul trouble every game?

His overall performance, and recent play is definitely worthy to justify that. Every time Morgan gets the ball he reinforces the confidence in him. This(breakout level of play) appeared to be on the verge with him before ,at a couple of other instances in his career, then a random injury would strike. I got that sinking feeling when he had to leave the game holding his leg. I hope that isn't a lingering concern moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're selling McRoberts INCREDIBLY short. Yes, he does play hard, but he is a lot more than that. He's our biggest guard, makes arguably the best decisions of any guards and is actually a really good athlete. A lot of his plays are hustle plays, but many of them aren't a result of hustle, they are a result of being a talented kid. Danny Moore and Eric Suhr made an impact with hustle. Do you really think that's how McRoberts does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 These are thoughts I had in the in-game thread. 1. Good things happen when McRoberts is out there. His hustle and sense of urgency are contagious. He’s got a great knack for getting 50/50 balls. This leads to extra possessions. He can get boards and defends well. His one drawback is that the defense can sag off of him. But there are so many positives he brings with this team, I am willing to live with that. Love his motor. 2. Johnson has to shoot if this team has a realistic shot at getting anything done. He’s a senior and hopefully the light switch comes on for him and he becomes a man possessed down the stretch. I had no problem with his shots early, because he needed to get going. And he did. 3. I think if we go 11-7 in conference, I’d feel good about a tourney bid. 4. Our coaching has been outstanding and a big shot in the arm to the program. The flow in the half court is so much better. We need more shot makers and that will come. The schemes are sound. The game planning is high level so the scouting has been insightful. Play designs, e.g., at crunch time, is better. Accountability and consequences are there. It’s like a different program.

HoosierFaithful Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Nobody else outside of a few can score on offense for this team anyway. McBob is no different and does all the little things right as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBob is no different and does all the little things right as well. I played with a guy in hs who was only allowed to set picks, rebound and play defense. He rarely touched the ball but he started every game with D1 talent around him and was integral to the success of the team. Not everyone on the floor needs to be able to score when what you do on the floor allows easy buckets for your teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW_Hoosier Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Love that the ACC pre-season player of the year wasn’t the best player on the court today. And I love the fact that we were down 6 at the half, made adjustments, and won the game without having to hit a bunch of ridiculous threes. Only made two threes in the last 10 minutes of regulation and OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm very curious as to what our +/- was with McRoberts on the floor. Would not be surprised at all if it was close to +20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Whoot! What a game to miss! Geez. Followed as best I could on my phone -- This will be our strategy going forward, I can only follow the game on my phone! Morgan looks like he's turning into a monster.
