KoB2011 Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I am so excited about this team and that win. 35 minutes of that game caused nothing but pure optimism IMO. Trayce was Trayce tonight, but what I saw at least in some stretches from Bates, Kopp, Lander, Race, and Geronimo was really encouraging. All five of those guys stepped up in big ways at different stretches with clutch plus and clutch minutes. I am as disappointed as anyone that we blew a double digit lead, but we also never gave up the lead and we responded time and time again to every punch we took. We have a lot to learn from a game that we WON. Aside from blowing a big deal there are some disappointing specifics that I don’t think need to be hashed out right now, but this team has some serious heart. I don’t know how this season will play out, but I do think this will be a really fun season we will all look back upon very fondly. For the first time in a long time, this feels like Hoosier basketball. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Had to work but listened to the game. I just feel that this game would have been a loss the last few years. The last 5 minutes of the game was one of the most exciting finishes we have had in the last few years. I was worried going into the second half because of the last couple of minutes of the first half. Up 12 and Rob missed both free throws and then I think we missed a 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between2Halls Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I’m just glad at the end they didn’t have Christian Watford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villanova and UConn both look really good so hard to argue that, but man St. John’s might be right there after that. At least if Champaigne is on like he was tonight, hats off to that kid. I believe they split with all three of those teams last year then went out and got better through the portal while keeping their two best players. They’ll be tough. Also, while the “sloppy seconds” chant may have been funny/clever…no doubt it lit a fire in Smith’s a$$. Maybe we don’t do that anymore. Tired of random guys having career nights against us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegrassIU Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Overshadowed by his offense, Geronimo had 5 rebounds. Hard to imagine a player having more impact on a game while only playing 8 minutes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would blow. He was looking very solid so far. Hopefully it's not a "bad" break. If not I would assume they could do a medical redshirt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I can see a scenario where by the end of the year our we have a tight rotation of: TJD Race Kopp Bates X Lander Geronimo Galloway And we are one of the toughest outs in the country. That’s a lot of really tough basketball players that do a lot of things well. I’m really excited for these next few months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's defense is going to be needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mindset is better so far this season but the production… He'll be a part of the rotation. Now he might not get more than 10 minutes a game if he continues to miss open shots, but I think he'll continue to be the first guard off the bench if he's healthy. He was still very good on defense today. Until Lander can keep his man in front of him, he'll be relegated to spot duty/foul trouble/injury role. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Lander get some more time, but his defense is still very suspect. I hope he sticks with it (IU that is, doesn't pout), because he'll be good once he gets stronger. It was nice to see him finish at the rim.

slojoe Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 A good win. Crowd and team flat to open 2 half. Need to come out after half and stick the dagger in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSHoosier Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Someone mentioned maybe getting into specifics later, but I wanted to give a shout out to Parker, who was the only guy for IU under the rim at the buzzer and kept anyone from getting the put back. Just a great, veteran, winning basketball play. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw on Twitter that Woodson said his assistants were yelling at him to get him in. I do not believe that move would have been made with the old staff. I dont mean to bash Archie or his staff, I just think that's a kind tactical move we would not have seen. To be honest, Geronimo never should have been taken out of the game when he was. But, props to the assistants for getting Woodson to make the move on the last play. Geronimo is our 3rd best player. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 The two things I keep coming back to... Is there a player with Champagnie's size in the Big 10 that is that good of a shot maker? Is there a team in the Big 10 that plays multiple defenses and guards as hard as St John's does? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) The NY Post is "appalled" at the sophomoric and over-the-line reference to Smith now dating the ex-girlfriend of Indiana star forward Trayce Jackson-Davis." I didn't think New Yorkers got "appalled"by much... Edited November 18, 2021 by IUFLA 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
