Inequality Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Nothing about that game was phenomenal. Are you kidding me? They managed a win. Maryland hit a wall defending TJD for about 7 minutes which was the deciding factor when they also missed a few shots. Long long way to go if IU is ever going to compete for a B1G title let well alone a deep NCAA run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loviubb Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I still would like to see Lander get some minutes. I know he is young for his college time but if the elite 5 stars don't see the floor we will have a tuff time for future elite talent. Maybe he and CAM have an understanding but CRMK adjusted to Isiah Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euroclydon Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Agree with what was said earlier. The offense is getting open shots. They're just not hitting anything. Maybe Parker needs to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play the way we did the last 10 minutes, especially on defense, we can beat any team in the B1G... If we play the way we did in the 1st half, we can be beaten by any team, including Nebraska, on a given night... Consistency is what we need and then we CAN compete for a B1G title...

Just going to say it now...this team is only going to be as successful as our upper class man guards. Rob and Al will determine if this team is a tournament team or a disappointment.

FW_Hoosier Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Glad I skipped the first half, lol. Defense was smothering and the offense looked decent in the second half. This was a must-win game... Eight more to make the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryland put up 70 at Wisconsin and they were well off of that. This is the identity you’d like to instill where it’s predictable every time out that we are getting this type of defense. Hunter is probably my favorite 3 point shooter regardless of what the numbers say. Accordingly, it’s ok to give up a bit on defense as he works through that. We really can use him hitting some threes. He seems to hit them at opportune times. I love Galloway’s game but I thought he settled for threes at times. It’s like he wants so bad to be a good shooter but he might want to reign it in a little. He’s so dangerous when he’s more active and on the move not settling. I’m not saying he should never take one, just don’t go overboard. I agree let Hunter shoot he is the 1 player I thought ( if he could get back from his missed playing) would make us a better team than an average team. The BIG 10 IS SO TOP TO BOTTOM TOUGH!!

CRMK did end up letting Isiah run the show, after a while, but as a freshman Isiah shot right out of the gate and averaged almost 15 points, shot over 50% from the field with 5.5 assists a game and was first team all Big Ten. No offense to Lander, as he is a freshman that grade-wise should be in HS and has a bright future, but freshman Isiah and freshman Lander don’t belong in the same sentence.

OLDIUFAN Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I don’t get Hunter, fouls a three point shooter who was taking a tough three. Turns around and does it again! Then turns it over. The three pointer he hit was a big shot,but it wasn’t a smart shot. He misses that they come down an score it a whole different ball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU878176 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hope AF is ok. Good to see TJD get in gear and score 10 or 12 straight points for us. We can beat Wiscy but need the last 10 minutes of this game to be 35 minutes of the Wiscy game. Was great to see the other team have a couple of scoring droughts. We did not give them much in the last 10 minutes. Good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 32 minutes ago, BGleas said: Some random thoughts... - TJD needs to play like he did the last 10 minutes all of the time. He slept walk through the first 30 minutes and has looked soft for a while now. - Our defense is elite - I will die on this hill, our offense is fine. Guys just need to make shots. We generate tons of open looks, our shooters just suck. Its more of confidence and recruiting. The offense is fine schematically. - Phinisee played better and both Durham and Phinisee played good D, but they need to start making open shots. If those guys shoot remotely to their capacities that game is never close. - Really hope this ankle doesn't set Franklin back. We need him. - Race was way more active tonight. Need him to rebound and fight like that all the time. - Glad to see Hunter get extended minutes. His defense is still terrible, but I do agree with @Hoosierhoopster, we need his offense - Ball movement is so much better this year. Finally someone agrees with me! 😁 Liked Hunter’s assists as well. Gotta get him shooting more. Galloway could not buy a basket today, not criticizing him, excellent player who makes everyone better but needs real work on that shot - his next step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya, but... Archie is a scrapper...he recognized that Jerome was having a rough go of it for a while, but he stuck with him...and Jerome made a couple of plays (the 2 3s and the offensive rebound he kept alive but missed, but Trayce got) to help us win...I don't know if anybody else noticed but in the huddle after that last 3, Jerome was saying, "I know coach" over and over while Archie was chewing his ass...and Jerome was grinning from ear to ear... A scrapper has to love the brass that took... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isiah and Landers do belong in the same sentence, If we want to be elite again let the growing pains be felt. But don't let elite talent sit too long or you might lose out on more elite talent. A s I stated IT MIGHT BE AND UNDERSTANDING between the 2 And I never said Landers was Isiah . Isiah had a better BB team than K.L. But in todays game IF THE BIG DOGS DON'T RUN you will have trouble for more BIG DOGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Ballin Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 12 minutes ago, BGleas said: What is frustrating is I've felt the shooting was actually improving recently, maybe it was just Franklin masking the issues. This was a step backward. I think AF is going to be huge to open up the floor for the ace twins, but they are going to have to take some and hit a couple mid range jumpers that arent forced by the clock. The other guys are going to HAVE to start hitting some shots tho. Rob and Al cant lay goose eggs anymore. Hunter......oh Hunter....i think he is going to have to find some more shots and try to get more involved and frankly get a lottle (not a spelling error) pissed off. After the two 3pt fouls he got a little snarl to him and picked it up a bit. I think CAM leaving him in helped out a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryland was leaving him wide open and he fell into the trap. It happens. Agree though, he's going to need to do major work on his shooting as he develops. It doesn't have to be a great 3pt shooter, even a strong midrange game would enhance his playmaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonHershey Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 During the big scoring run it finally felt that Indiana was in control of a game- it was a great feeling. I hope the team can improve its shooting across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he could be a Rip Hamilton type player? Rip wasnt a very good 3pt shooter early on but was a HUGE p.i.t.a. and deadly 15-18 feet.

Galloway doesn't really have that in his game at all. The guy I've been comparing him to is Ty Jerome from UVA, though Jerome is more of a pg where Galloway is a forward. Their playmaking skills are what I see. Not sure if Ty Jerome was always a good shooter or if he developed that during his time at UVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
