BGleas Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Just now, Hoosierhoopster said: Completely agree Yeah, I don't see how it's even a debate. The play worked, but players have to play and make decisions. Archie can't do it for them. We got our AA the ball in the paint near the rim. PSU wisely collapsed, so from there players have to make decisions and make playes. TJD tried to force it up to either finish or get fouled, it didn't work.

Reacher Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 We outshot them 57% to 48%. They had 9 more shots due to a 13-4 edge on Offensive rebounds. That is what made the game close. Glad we could close them out. TG is my player of the game and Race was the one who struggled the most. Got lost a few times on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Knight would be really pissed about giving up 85 points. Exactly. Have to wonder where we are as a fan base that 90% of the complaints are about offense. Our offense was really good tonight, granted PSU isn't a good defensive team. This game was close because of crappy defense and poor rebounding.

The one thing I wanted to see that didn’t happen in this game is Race RE-asserting himself on the offensive end. He has disappeared in games but had that big second half the other day, it’s like he’s still feeling his way with TJD so dominant. When Race goes full bore we’re a lot better. Hoping he gets more consistent, he’s fully capable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of unforced turnovers against a poor defense and second chance points to a small team. We had some big break downs defensively but to me those other two things were the difference. They hit some tough 3s at difficult times...credit to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of teams are able to find hidden gems with these small conference transfers (grad or otherwise). IU needs to be plotting a strategy to lure Luke Brown from Stetson even though he has not played a game there yet. The kid can play. And, if IU is not his ultimate transfer destination, chances are he will go somewhere familiar and be a thorn in our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGIUAndy Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Enjoy the win. One game at a time. Al and Rob showed up. Still waiting for a complete game, but a good win. The Big Ten is insane. Go Hoosiers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 As far as plays out of time outs...Plays are fine..I hate hate hate holding the ball and waiting...because this is College....if it’s the pros you expect your star to finish but in college I like to leave more time to foul or a second chance. Also we are just not good late in shot clock....it just doesn’t put pressure on the defense...they only have to defend for a few seconds and can over commit. Just my opinion and I’m not a coach so it might be a dumb one. Just rather get into my set right away unless it’s tied and we can hold for last shot.

I find that frustrating as well. I didn't see it tonight, but in previous years I recall numerous times IU doing that while Archie screamed at them to get going.

Rebounding killed us. Most games yes but I just didn’t think the level of defense PSU was playing it was good. I mean poor man to man and a soft zone...maybe it was just the manner we made them..mostly unforced. Agree about rebounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of end the game situations are terrible in basketball today. You don't see many plays run but you just put the ball in one guys hand and it usually leafs to a bad shot. The other night the Pacers was up 1 and Tatum for the Celtics end up taking a step back 3 and missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
