Need to work on them

I imagine they do.

[Hoosierfan1901 728]

We made one!

[Hoosierhoopster 6,310]

That stumble by Race had me worried glad he’s ok 

[HoagieRoll 313]

Gonna lose at least 3 games based on free throws

Yeah.  It shows us missing every free throw.  

At this point the 6 makes seem like more of mistake...

[Hoosierfan1901 728]

FG drought

[Reacher 2,436]

More free throws coming up! 

[FW_Hoosier 3,742]

Thompson looks basically the same as he did last year.  Not much of a threat on the offensive end.

Not worried about that. He'll get his hustle points

[IU Scott 8,289]

This last 4 minute stretch has not been good but if we could hit free throws it would have been better.

I swear TJD is the sneakiest double double machine I’ve ever seen.  All of a sudden he has 22-9 before I even really realize he’s dominating a game.  

Then again, maybe I just drink too much during the games.

You drank too much. Outside the first 6 mins he had dominated this game.

[Hoosierhoopster 6,310]

Galloway will need to improve his D, which is to be expected. He’s getting beat on D and hasn’t hit an outside shot, but he’s got that tenacity and has looked really good downhill.

Offensive rebounds may be the most valuable offensive weapon to have.

[IU Scott 8,289]

When you get the lead up to around 40 it is easy to take your foot off the pedal and that looks like what we have done.

[Hoosierfan1901 728]

Give me Leal or give me death

I thought his shot around the lane has looked better. Touch is there just hasn’t got them to drop. Last year everything just looked forced up.

Well the team shot 68 percent last year, wouldn’t read much into the first game but yeah of course they’ll need to improve

You’d like more than that from your starting 4.  But he’s still a better option than Brunk.

[Inequality 1,011]

This squad is deep. Who’s gonna be the “Prillers” the last 45 seconds of the game?

[dgambill 4,838]

IU...where shooters go to die lol!!

Jamming his leg into the ground and throwing a wide open layup off the backboard wasn’t forcing it up?  Lol

[Hoosierfan1901 728]

Oh my goodness TJD

[Reacher 2,436]

Franklin may get a lot of minutes closing out type games because he can hit free throws

[5fouls 12,928]

So, we still have scoring droughts.
