ESPN says we shot 5 of 14 from 3....35% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I’m working from home. Watched the beginning and couldn’t concentrate on either work or the game (although Bill’s pot thoughts were low hanging fruit). So I turned it off and recorded it . May watch it later.

Not trying to diminish our performance because we played well, but Providence had a whole bunch of sloppy turnovers and a whole lot of ole’ defense. They can’t be happy about that game at all. It was basically a pick 'em game going in, no one saw an IU blowout coming. Seems like a pretty good W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU878176 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Except for a small stretch in the first half we moved the ball well and I don’t recall a guard pounding the ball into the dirt. In the past I really hated watching dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble in the same spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Very solid numbers and win. The bench is young so expect inconsistency from them. But if they would have played better along with TJD, this would have been a 30+ point win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 LOL at a pick 'em. Good to see IU DESTROY that line. It's early, but it's good to see all the Eeyores in hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know they finished strong last year and were predicted to contend in the Big East. I actually laughed instead of rolling my eyes at a Bill Walton analysis when he said something along the lines: At some point Providence needs to figure out TJD is left handed and he’s not likely to change that before the game ends.

Pretty good from the starting big men. Yes, TJD shot poorly but I would take those numbers above from the combo any game and think IU has a chance to win. This team has it all and each game will be played differently. If the opponent lacks a front court, TJD will feast. If they have a good front court, IUs perimeter will open up. TJD, Race, and Hunter are so versatile - shoot from 15 out or make a post move. games like this will happen for TJD. He’ll respond - no doubt. This team looks accountable and hopefully won’t go through long droughts. Also - this team shouldn’t be blowing double digit leads like last year. IU got up big today, and I think it got down to 8-9, but IU responded. Last year it’d be a tie game. guys are older now. In system for a while. And the young kids are hungry and will push the upperclassmen. Some days people will perform, other days they won’t. But the balance and versatility and being able to do everything Is a great formula ... and it ALL starts with D and rebounding. If guys like Mason Miller just want to showcase their offensive game, then those guys don’t fit here. Must play D and board - and everything will fall into place.

IU will exploit what is given. For instance, tomorrow, when they press a lot - IU will have a lot of points in the paint from the guards. Trey, Al, Rob and aarman. Plus I expect Lander to get in the mix more tomorrow. Hit some layups beating the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 It's early, I know, but I have a concern about Hunter. His lateral quickness seems poor and I'm wondering if his defense is going to always be a problem? I know he has the leg issue and that's what maybe is bothering me? Miller says he's healthy, but man, he was about a foul a minute today. Just an off day perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was said Brunk was held out for precaution but someone said until B10 starts. Is that real? Archie said they will limit his minutes and protect him for B1G play. Sorry for confusion.

Best game I’ve seen from Al...this is what a senior needs to bring. Hope it is a sign of what’s to come. Definitely improved over last year and I’m happy to be wrong about him not starting.

DWB Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 75% FT looked good, after TN Tech game. I think we can do better, but 75% as a team is OK. Kept them in the 50's scoring wise. That's very good defense. 4 of our 9 TO's came from inexperienced players (Galloway & Hunter). Both tried to force things a little. Did I miss Leal? I don't remember him playing. (must not play defense well enough yet, or he's hurt) Edit: Also...IU got 17 pts from TO's , and 36 pts in the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total control from start to finish. Now I'm not sure how good Providence will be, but still. Because we had no scoring droughts. Anytime they made back to back buckets we quickly stopped their run and answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
