KoB2011 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 29 minutes ago, MoyeCowbell said: Possibly an UNPOPULAR OPINION Winning games like this makes me even more disgruntled about the state of the program. Absolutely no consistency from game to game. (Why am I sour? I have no idea.) I'm honestly glad you can admit it. You're clearly far from the only one that is upset with the program winning.

dgambill Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Just now, KoB2011 said: There literally is a post in this thread by someone saying they are upset. There were plenty in the game thread piling on early and honestly, inventing things about how bad we looked. The reality is this team is 3 OT games against top 15 teams from being a top 15 team itself. That's REALLY close to turning the corner as a program yet many want to act like we are in the same spot now as we were Crean's last season. It's just absurd talk. No one is upset at the win...some may be upset we haven’t figured how to do what we did today in other games this year but no one is upset we actually won. I don’t think anyone is rooting for us to lose was my point. Still lots to be upset about. I’m not thrilled about our lineup decisions...but that doesn’t mean I’m mad we won. Anyways I don’t want to argue because I’m happy...so 🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo123 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Good win for IU! Now we need to find some fortitude and reel off 4 in a row. The only player we have when he shoots a three do I feel like it has a chance to go in every time he shoots it is Leal. He needs to shoot more.

Euroclydon Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 IU plays hard but it seems they play up hill all the way. Still, no quit. When they knock down some outside shots they look great. Proud of the freshmen for how they contribute even if it is ugly at times. They are in position now but have to string some wins together.

Some of those step back threes were really bad. I liked the play from our big guys too. Really hope we can string a couple wins together and get into tourney. Once we get in anything is possible At least he isn't afraid to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Great win today. Hope they can put together 2 wins in a row and prove they don't let their guards down after a great win. Consistency matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Back to a graphic they showed during the game that or Strength of Schedule was 102nd. I assuming this was derived from NET. KenPom, a proven metric over the years has us with the 6th toughest. How can the NET be so blatantly wrong. And, could that hurt us come Selection Sunday?

Play young guys. Lander was 1-6. I actually agree with you, but I don't think Rob and Al are going to disappear. I do hope Lander takes a starting spot sooner rather than later.

Probably because those out of conference wins against big East opponents didn’t help us a lot. Also I don’t know how Florida St is only ranked 20th. They are better than that.

Me too. Rob and Al have to take what's given, I don't care if they make them. There's no arguing that you can get some offensive rebounds off those misses.

Throw in Florida State, Providence, and Stanford? I would love to find the NET SOS metric to see who was 101st. But, I can't find it anywhere.

Anyways I don’t want to argue because I’m happy...so 🍻 Ask my brother-in-law if he’s happy they won. He is so anti-Miller, I can’t stand being around him during IU games. Every Sunday after church, everyone has lunch at my wife’s parents and we all sit and watch Colts or IU games. He told me right after we beat Iowa the first time, he wished we lost. He said the more they win the more likely they will keep Archie. Duhhhh! IMO, it’s a very ignorant attitude. I told my wife, “I’m going home after church and watch the game. I don’t want to hear him trashing the team and Archie!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyhoosier29 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 38 minutes ago, dgambill said: He had probably the best 5 mins of basketball to end the half of any Hoosier this year...he played better than Phinisee today honestly. Maybe only one defensive lapse and lots of good assist...he just needs to become a better shooter. Rob hit a huge shot to end the game but outside that Lander outplayed him. That’s great. I wasn’t comparing him to Phinisee. I simply said the span I saw he needed to be back on the bench. But from a defensive perspective he’s nowhere near RP.
