If he is starting Trayce and Race then he needs a shooter (Al is our best spot up shooter). I was surprised Armaan started...thought it would be Rob, Al, Lander. Lander is not a pure shooter so I think Archie wants to balance the guards. I did like the pace and ball movement when both Khristian and Rob was playing together. Agreed. Give me Lander Rob and Leal/Jerome.. TJD at the 4 and Brunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not following...and not trying to argue but what does explosion have to do with being a stretch 4? Jerome is not going to throw down monster jams, or fly around the court. He just isn’t that type of player. He is a good shooter though and he has a nice little jumper...his best shot in HS was him coming off a curl and hitting 12 footers all day over people. He showed some scoring in the post tonight so I was happy. He won’t be a Trayce down there nor a Justin smith oop guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So it is not like his Dayton teams were horrible shooting teams. Out of curiosity, what did Arch's Dayton teams shoot from the FT line? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seeking6 8,222 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Just my 2 cents. Archie has about 8-9 moving parts and a long time to figure out things before January. If we get there. I'm seeing plenty of 2002 team here down the road. I guess some will point out 2-3 shots make it a 40 point half?? I know Lander is the deal. I know Galloway is too. I also know JG is as well. Going to be a fun ride with this crew because they have the makings of a special squad down the road. PS....loved it when Archie said to TJD going into the timeout basically that's how good you are.....tell them you wan the ball. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parakeet Jones 3,011 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 It’s the first game and rust and adjustment is to be expected. I can’t lie though, that 2nd half took some of the wind out of my sails. I really hoped to see improvement in our shooting. The prolonged scoring draught conjured up bad memories of the last few years. Let’s work the kinks out and get ready for a decent Providence team on Monday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IUrocker 296 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Just based off how things looked tonight I think my favorite lineup would be: Lander, Rob, Galloway, Hunter, TJD. Edited November 26, 2020 by IUrocker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reacher 2,458 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Al led the team in +/ - with a + 30 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IU Scott 8,406 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hopefully Brunk will be back for the next game because Providence has descent size. Someone said that they heard Fischer said that Brunk got 16 and 10 in the scrimmage. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoosierfan1901 777 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I’m not going to go off since this is the first game of the season, but we need to really work on 3PT’s and FT 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So it is not like his Dayton teams were horrible 3 point shooting teams. But it isn’t great either....especially when they are typically around 200 in nation in attempts. If you aren’t shooting many I’d expect you to hit a really really good percentage. That said it we haven’t shot well at IU since he has been here. It might not have cost him games at Dayton but if we dont improve (and we still can obviously) it will cost us games in the B1G. You won’t score 60 pts in the paint in the B1G like we did tonight. Let’s hope it was opening game jitters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reacher 2,458 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Phinisee and Galloway reach double digits with TJD. Thompson needs to rebound better. He only had 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn’t have another gear. If you want that you will have to hope for Geronimo to get the ball in the open floor. Justin Smith was that type of player...I’d take Hunters below the rim game any day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep...maybe we shot poorly tonight but the offseason work is where the improvement would have come. I think we can shoot better but I have no dulusions that we are going to be a great shooting team. None of our guys are natural shooters. There isn’t a Hulls or Cline or whom ever you want to use. This is a team I think might get streaky at best...but will never be great from deep. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of my major complains with CAM is that he doesn't adjust much of anything in my opinion, regardless of how things are going.

DWB 925 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I loved Galloway's motor, hustle, and court awareness. (Might have another McBob on our hands, only with more talent) Loved Rob's shooting improvement. Hit 3 straight 3's at one point. Never did that last year. Lander was a good facilitator. I liked Hunter's improvement from last year. He was better defensively. Tons of rust for the offense. I think a lot of that will get shaken off next week for the "Maui Classic". We took pretty good shots for the most part. A nice change from last year, when we would force up a bad shot at the end of the shot clock. Pace of play was much better IMO. Need to work on defensive switching. Got beat (esp 2nd half) when we switched, then switched back. I doubt Archie plays all 11 guys next week. At least not as many minutes as they all got tonite. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's one game, but he won't be here more than 2 seasons if we don't improve in those areas. Calm down, sunshine pumper. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
