I don't give much credence to his formulas.

Focusing on a statistical basis on a couple of games is a poor foundation. I don't think it focuses on those games as much as they were so bad it weighs heavily on it. Typically teams don't have two games THAT bad in one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 If we win games, the ratings will take of themselves. Really, the emphasis should be on getting better. If we do and it results in wins, then great. I don't think we need to get all wrapped up in what any of these guys think. Just win games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIUFan Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Seems team is finally starting to gel and on page with CAM. Kellogg confirmed such in discussion with CAM stating they are finally comfortable with one another. Needed to see this NW win for me to believe. MSU will be a struggle. LOVE THE D. Finally TOUGH, TENACIOUS, and UNRELENTING. The very D we all wished for last year and with CAM's arrival. I could not complain about the first half and only 4pt lead with Morgan out entire half. Even with our best player benched and POOR OFFENSE we still held a lead. Will need Offense to go with same D against MSU to have a chance. They may be vulnerable now due to their poor guard play. Who knows? I definitely like the trajectory we are on. Continue with this D and just some improvement on offense and we can be top 5 in conference. Would never have believed that after showing against Wiscy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Can't really share with you.... at this time.... as to where this is coming from. However.... things have taken a dramatic upturn in terms of Romeo. Not just this game. But this game really helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Rojo catches a lot of crap. But his defense is somehow overlooked. He is solid game after game at that end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would never have believed that after showing against Wiscy! Loved the defense. It is was kept us in the game in the first half.... with Juwan warming the pine. And then.... IU went well into the second half, with a tough defense, without committing one foul. And was able to play harder as a result.... not fearing putting Northwestern on the line.... till very late in the game. I agree with you. This is the kind of defense we have been longing for. For years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsStoller Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I’m not great at the x’s and o’s, but I really liked their intensity in this game. Throughout the entire game, they played with heart and they played through poor shooting in the first half. It was very encouraging and great to see. Can I add that I like that we don’t have all the “heads” behind the goals anymore? It’s just nice to watch the game, if you know what I mean?

So happy to see the guys keep us in the game with 2 of our starters out for most of the first half! Amazing run in the second half. Looking like things are finally clicking for the guys under CAM’s tutelage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom is on the side of IU. Dad...not so much. Family struggle. At present. Mom would like son to get a degree before working for a living. Dad feels that a degree is important as well. However, feels the pull of the NBA is stronger.... at first. Bottom line IU is raising.... whichever way this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is solid game after game at that end. He’s been awful inconsistent this year, which we need to change going forward if we want to get a couple upset wins and get in the tournament talk. I thought he was flat out awful against PSU at both ends, but was very good today. Hope we see today’s performance most of the time here on out. We need it with Davis out.

No, I'm saying Pomeroy has been way off for multiple games, and he has. His formula is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
