dgambill Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 1 minute ago, BGleas said: Interesting watching Baylor on offense because they basically play 2 bigs (Vital and a center) that don't shoot, yet their offense is still so spread out for their guards/wings and they have plenty of space to operate. Vital is much like Race Thompson, but used in a way that he doesn't clog the lane while the center plays a high ball screen game with their guards/wings, then Vital just crashes hard on every shot/penetration to offensive rebound. Vital is so dang wide though. Like a mini tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUguy Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Just like it should be. No unbeaten team this year. IU still rules!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from a personnel standpoint, They are playing two non-shooting bigs, yet it's interesting to me how spread out they still are. It certainly helps to have guards and wings as talented as theirs. Their perimeter players can do it all, they can all handle, shoot, finish in the paint, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 We see tonight what happens when you have to play really good teams back to back...like in a power conference. Gonzaga is feeling the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so impressive and I would love for IU to have a guy like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age when your guards are tough, physical, can shoot, can handle, can drive and finish, etc., that makes you really tough to beat.

dgambill Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Congrats to Baylor...they were my pick going back to early in the season. They were a favorite last year. Congrats to Coach Drew.

HoosierMama Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Just goes to show just how impossibly hard it is to win them all. Glad to still be able to say IU is the only team in my lifetime to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 The funniest thing to me in all of this, after watching Baylor wax an unbeaten Gonzaga team, is that there are people, living, breathing, fully functioning people, who thought Purdue could beat Baylor in a Sweet 16 matchup that ended up coming nowhere close to even happening.
