Where had anyone say just shoot 3's. You can't seem to handle people disagreeing with you and you act like a spoiled little kid. It is like the kid that gets made and takes his ball home.

OK I'm sure you're being tongue in cheek. To the extent it sounded like I was saying you don't understand the game, I'm not doing that. You questioned shooting more threes. I answered that, including the simple point that we are already one of the lowest shooting 3-ball teams out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What people are saying if players are open and it is a good look you can't pass those up. When you only have a 30 second clock you need to take the first open shot because you might not get another good look. The other night Leal was open but passed it to Galloway in the corner. Galloway drove but the shot clock expired without a shot. Also if you don't take those shots the defense will clog the lanes even more making it impossible to get Trace and Race the ball down low.

I think in history, IU's winning .pct against wisconsin is 67%. What was it before the last 15-20 years. I like this IU team and feel there is upside if they clean up some things. I hate the lack of confidence of approaching a game expecting a loss. Reverse this trend and play lights out tonight to get a win. From 1972 through 1999 we were 47-4 against Wisconsin...that's .980 winning percentage... Since, we're 8-29... We did not lose to them from February 1980 until January of 1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot your way out of slumps, confidence issues or stagnant offense. Run the whole time and shoot as soon as you get any space. The more shots you take, the more likely you are to hit them. We know we don't shoot particularly well so we run a slow offense. I say we're doing it backwards. Get more posessions. More shots at at the rim. More up and down the floor. Go fast and shoot quick. Wear them down with our relentless tempo and in your face defense. Hell, go full court press the whole game. I am telling you, it will work. Averages will win the day. And i am 100% serious.

We turn the ball over now and we play slow. How much worst can it get. Plus we have something CTC didn't. An elite defense. And no one was ever upset with CTCs offense. It was his weird subbing, lack of defense, weirdness overall and how he isolated IU from the high schools in Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTC made the defense elite by racking up the deflection count and switching defenses three times in one possession!!! That’s Elite!! i appreciate CTC for rebuilding IU the right way. FG is the one to blame for the extension. One of CTCs main issue was continuity ... two good years, two or more bad years, etc. Archie is building it to be old and stay old - the right way - especially in a league that is 10-12 teams deep every year. Once IU gets to the top, I think they’ll stay there. For instance, if TJD and Brunk come back next year ... should be top 3 easily and hopefully it’s like that for the next 25 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
