Other than dunks and Trace. Has anyone else hit a shot?  Honestly had done scored

I think someone hit a 3. Maybe X??

Is Race Thompson stoned?

WTF just happened

Purdue recruits all the shooters in the state.

There’s like 10 in my neighborhood alone. They’re all over Indiana yet IU can’t find one. I digress…

Are we just going to let that kid back us down all night and score at will? 

PS will…

Don’t think that there is anything that Parker Stewart does good on a basketball court. Used to think at least he could shoot, but not so much

Had dinner at Hooters tonight and unfortunately, my waitress looked nothing like this. She did have quite a few tats though if that’s your thing

Everybody sharts.

A manpon 

BS foul called on TJD

JP's wonderous bracket is complete.  Good luck everyone with your picks and Go Hoosiers!!

Net ranked 39 in the play-in game is a joke. But whatever.  Besides that I think the bracket is very favorable/winnable 

Absolutely sickens my stomach that both Michigan and Kentucky fans will be in town this week. 

Bad news: we have to win a play-in game

Good news: win that, then St Mary’s is very beatable. 

If our shooters had just shot, then this one would have been game, set, match: candy stripes. MK and PS must be better than 2 of 9 from range for us to beat good teams, period. 

Hopefully, those two can get on a hot streak during the dance. Should that happen, then this team could make a run. No chance however if they don’t hit the open three balls. I’ll be watching those two closely as IU’s “X” factors.

I should be more frustrated but I'm just not surprised. 😐

Pretty much where I’m at. Just kind of used to it.

There have been some very good transfers the last couple seasons, its just we havent had any. We have to do better with the portal going forward and I think we will with CMW not being rushed to fill spots. We dont need other teams trash.

Virginia got themselves a pretty nice wing transfer in A. Franklin this year. Sure as hell better than who we got from Northwestern. 

Game moved this morning from IU +1.5 to -1.

That is the worst idea I have heard because that would be a brutal offensive team.  Also better watch the language because that is not tolerated on this board.

Whatever happens cannot continue to keep Kopp and Stewart In at the same time. I really wish Kopp was better

I would never have Durr and TJD on the court at the same time.  You would totally clog up the lane.  That is why Painter Nevers uses both of his big guys at the same time.

That’s not why Painter does that. They are both true 5s. Yde the truest you can get. Plus he has other players to get into the rotation at 4. Plus, again, who cares what Painter does.

Talking about IU and Durr has earned his minutes. Pair him up with TJD and see what happens. It will not clog the lane if played like we do now. TJD needs some space to work if he’s not the biggest on the court

To me what is holding us back is our wing players.  I think we matchup at the 1,4,5 position but we are behind at the 2 and 3 spots.  I expected a lot more from Kopp and Bayes

No, not against PU or IL, with TJD at 5 we matchup like shit. 

Wish someone would tell/teach Thompson that he’s about a height inch away from being 40% behind the arc. You’re on target just about every time, just give that ball a chance

Just went to look at the stats and mostly everything was real close but one stat.  They hit 10 3's and we hit 3. They out rebounded is by ,1 but we had 5 more offensive rebounds.  We had 10 turnovers and they had 8.  They hit 23 total shots and we hit 20.  They outscored is 18-14 from the line.

Not noted was TJD’s 6. Get him to average and the final score is at least closer. 
 

never thought I’d say this and not saying this was the reason, but miss Rob

Watching Purdue vs UM and seeing Dickerson hitting a 15 foot shot and Williams hitting a 3 shows TJD what he needs to work on.

At this point I think it’s more about capabilities opposed to work ethic. TJD is simply not capable of that shot.

why don't we ever play Durr with TJD?  Let TJD go to work on someone his own size or, if they cross-match Kofi back onto TJD, Durr will have someone way too small for him.  On defense, same thing - and it keeps TJD out of foul trouble.

Woody is a smart guy who has been in this game longer than I've been alive, so I'm sure there is a reason.

Against the true bigs such as Yde and Cockburn, it’s beyond a legit question as this point. Almost comical if we don’t come out that way leading up and into the Mackey game
